ST PETERSBURG, Feb. 20.-The
basis of the indictments upon which
Lieutenant General Stoessel, General
Fock,who commanded the Fourth East
Siberian Division of Port Arthur, and
Major General Reiss, chief of staff TO
General Stoessel, were tried for their
lives was a secret report made by
Lieutenant General Smirnoff on the
defense of Port Arthur. Smirnoff was
acting commandant of the fortress,
Stoessel being commander of the
Kwang Tung Peninsula.
Smirnoff categorically accused Stoes-
sci of cowardice and incapacity, and,
finally, of the deliberate and treason
able Fastening of the surrender to save
his own life and in defiance of the
decisions OF two successive councils of
war The report was extremely biased
| 1t breathed of the most bitter personal
enmity, and showed that the high Off
GERS of the Port Arthur garrison, in
the darkest days of the siege, were al
most at one another's threats.
In opposition TO this side of the pic
ture are the statements made by Jap
anese officers who were the first to en-
ter the fortress. Captain Tsunoda,
who on behalf of General Nogi con-
Quoted the negotiations for the surren-
der of the fortress, came out last sum-
mer with an open letter in defense of
General Stoessel. The Japanese cap
tain painted a pitiable picture of the
conditions prevailing at Port Arthur.
All, proper food was exhausted, he
said, and the 10000 Russians under
arms were in no condition to fight
The key to the fortress was gone wher
203 Metre Hill was captured. Genera
Stoessel, according to the Japanese Of
ficer, might have held out for fort
night longer, but the result would have
been an inevitable massacre in which
it would have been difficult to distin.
guish combatants from non-combat
ants. In conclusion Captain Tsunoda
said:
IF others forget, we remember tina
Port Arthur cost us 10000 lives b!
gunfre alone We dug 40 ldlometre
Of parallels and expended 100000
rounds of ammunition.
European history chronicles tn,
glorious capitulation of Port Arthur
and it is so considered in Japan. Tina
is why the Emperor of Japan orderet
General Nogi to treat General Stoesse
with all the honors due to a gallan
soldier His own country should trea
him likewise.
Anatole Mikhailovitch Stoessel wa
born in 184S and entered the army i
1864. He comes from family of mil
tary men. He has been a most sever
disciplinarian. 1t is related of hiI
that he has sentenced many men
! death for infraction of the regulation
and he is far from popular in the Rus
sian Army.

tence of General Stoessel is regarde

What DR.. Morrison the London
Times correspondent, styles "the most
spectacular incident" in the Russo
japanese war, namely, the surrender
of Port Arthur, has a sort of secret
history and the recent condemnation
Of General Stoessel has caused the bu-
rCpean press to reprint the revelations
of this famous correspondent. 1t is
widely reported that his account Of the
surrender compelled the Russian Gov
eminent to place on trial the surrer

that the Russians fought most valor-
ously against the investment army of
Japan, until mid-Novemher of 1904

the paper he represented, something

How to Avoid Dyspepsia.

now TO AVOID Dyspepsia.
All who suffer from poor digestion
should wear ten-inch width of flannel
bandage next the skin, pinned fairly
tight around the body over the stomach.
No liver or digestive pills or pepsin
preparations help the stomach a twen-
tieth part as much as this flannel pre-
scription. A poor circulation in the
stomach, causing that chilly, ''niiser-
able' feeling, is at the root of half the
Indigestion that mortals are heir to.
That Is why hot water drinking gives
relief. 1t helps the circulation. A
flannel bandage worn day and night
all the year round cures the faulty
blood circulation Of the stomach con-
sequently it cures dyspepsia.
Five hours interval between meals
avoiding fried foods, made dishes and
mixtures and observing three or four
'Lenten meals" in every week, are
golden rules for good digestion.
A good dinner Mt night is necessary
for those whose pleasure or work
keeps them up very late. But for or
dinary folks who dine at seven o'clock
ana go TO bed about 10 80 only light,
wholesome repast should be taken at
the end Of the day, when the muscles
and nerves are more or less exhausted.
A tired stomach is a weak stomach"
is a golden rule to remember Yet one
often hears people say: i've been
rushing about all day and am tired to
death. must have big meal to make
up for It," You may put the big meal
into the stomach, but you cannot make
the stomach digest 1t.
A belief lives strong in the hearts
and minds Of the majority of mankind,
including persons Of weak digestions,
that quick, brisk walk taken before
a meal gets up an appetite and helps
the stomach to digest the food. Now,
this is exactly what 1t doesn't do. Exer-
else spreads the blood throughout the
body. For the proper digestion of food
the blood Is needed in the stomach.
Few realize this important fact
After long, exhausting walk, bicy-
Gle spin, or any severe physical or men,
tai strain, take good half-hour's rest
In comfortable armchair, or lie on a
sofa before you eat substantial meal.

CHAPTER VI.


DR.. Paul Mason found opportunity to
whisper in Charles Van Lith's ear, as he
was led away:
DO not despair. l will leave no stone
unturned to establish your innocence.
Then, as he wrung his hand. he added,
"Oh, if you would but speak"
Van Lith said nothing in reply. He
was so overcome with the horror of his
situation that he could barely stammer
out his thanks for the Doctors kindness.
Overwhelmed by the magnitude of the
misfortune which had overtaken him, he
suffered himself to be conducted unresist-
lngly to that sombre vehicle, in which,
closely barred and huddled together like
sheep, prisoners are carried to the dark
and gloomy cells of La Mazas. Paul Ma
son Immediately took a cab to the Rue de
Reverdy, where he ate, though sparingly,
of the breakfast which his housekeeper.
Louise had long ago prepared against his
coming.
well, Madame Roupell was murdered
this morning at the Chateau Villeneuve,"
he said at last.
The old servant started violently. She
set down the pot from which she was
about to pour a fresh cup of coffee for the
doctor, and trembled from head to foot.
rs it possible?" she, calculated.
1T is not only possible, but, alas. it is
fact" repeated the doctor; land as
if that was not trouble enough in one
day, my friend Monsieur Charles Van
Lith has been arrested, charged with the
commission of the crime"
At this additional intelligence the old
woman's eyes nearly started out of her
head.
Monsieur Charles How can he be
guilty of such thing? He, so gay, so
cheerful so polite to everybody! | will
never believe it."
He was in the chateau last night, and
positively refuses to tell even me how he
came to be there. But there is report
of the whole affair in the morning paper.
You can read it for yourself"
The old Lady put on her glasses, and
simply devoured the paper which the doc
tor handed her. Suddenly she exclaim-
ed
Monsieur Van Lith's silence has some
thing to do with one of the young ladies,
you may depend upon it."
Louise pointed to a certain paragraph
in the report of the tragedy, which had
already, In the shape of an EXTRA" found
its way thus early into print:

ing this letter?"
Il was not so engaged during the en-.
tire time; the point of my pencil broke,
and had no penknife with which to re-
sharpen it."
"You were right, monsieur lie prefect," {"
exclaimed the judge, with a meaning
glance at the official. "How long a time
elapsed between the breaking of your
pencil and the report of the pistol?"
About five minutes, l should say.
Probably longer. 1t might have been
more and it may have been less. could
not say for certain"
''The letter you have shown me-" said
the Judge, II think sufficiently explains
why you did not retire to sleep. You
were the invited guest of Madame Rou-
pell, and occupied the room shown you.
By the by, at which door did you go into
Madame Roupell's room? The one which
led to it from your chamber?"
"Oh, no, monsieur, that was locked. l
had first to go into the corridor"
"That will do, Monsieur Chabot, you
can CO." said the judge, and the French
man, considerably relieved, bowed and
retired.
The servants were then called, and they
swore positively that none of them had
admitted Van Lith into the chateau, and
had no knowledge of his being there until
they saw him in Nine. Roupell's cham
ber The prefect here stated his discov-
cry of the bruised vine leaves, and the
open window, and gave it as his opinion
that the entry had been there effected.
The examination of the local physi-
clan and DR.. Paul Mason then followed.
They both testified that Nine. Roupell
had died from the effects Of a pistol bull
let entering the base of the brain. This
concluding the proceedings, the judge OF
instruction then committed Van Lith to
the prison of La Mazas.
"Shall l keep Monsieur Jules Chabot
under surveillance" asked the prefect,
when all had retired.
II see no occasion for it," replied NJ.

doesn't look like a murderer"

room he instructed one of his most relia-
BILE secret agents to keep him in sight un-
til further orders. He had said nothing
about his discovery of the open door. He
would keep that to himself. 1t might
lead perhaps to one of those grand coups
for which he was so famous.
Another thing the prefect was dissatis-
fed with. Upon the certificate of the ply
sicians that the Miles. Weldon were pros
trated by the death of their aunt, they
had not been summoned before the tri-
bunal-though later they would probably
be called upon to testify. The prefect
considered this as ill-timed leniency, but
there was no help for it. The certificate
of SO famous a physician as DR.. Paul
Mason had its weight with the judge of
instruction.
