of Gen. Stoessel that before the war
with Japen Count Witte had recon-
mended abandoning Port Arthur.
considering the opening of Port Dali
my had destroyed the stragetkc inn
portance OF the fortress, White has
broken his long silence in a two col
umn letter to the Novo Vremya. 1t
is an interesting disclosure of .ex-
lcerpts from secret documents Which
throw light ON the inner councils be-
fore the war and seeks to prove that
Kuropatkin was guilty OF misleading
the whole government BY his esti-
mate of Russia's preparedness for
war. In July, 1908. according to
WHITE, after a tour eGinspection in
the far east. Kuropatkin in a writ
ten report to the emperor said:
1.-TWO years ago we thought our
Fselves ready TO defend the Amur re
gion and North Manchulia. Today
We cannot only do THAT buc can be
perfectly confident of the fate OF
Port Arthur
Witte narrates that the site Of
Port Dalny and the idea to create
a commercial port there was sug-
gested by Kuropatkin himself as a
means OF restricting Port Arthur TO
military uses and at the same time
carry out promise TO open any ac-
quired Chinese port to the trade of
all nations

erepancy in Kuropatkin's Official
acts and The generals testimony in
the Stoessel case. He also accuses
him OF not having provided sufficient
siege guns at Port Arthur.
