SPEAKS IN
OWN BEHALF
DEFENDER OF PORT ARTHUR
DEFENDS HIMSELF
Taking of Testimony at Trial of Russ
sian General Accused of Cow
ardice ompeted-Advised
to Surrender, He Says
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 29.-The
taking of testimony by the court mar
tial which is trying Lieut.. Gen. Stoes-
sci for the surrender of Port Arthur
fortress, came to an end today and the
court adjourned until February 4, when
the closing arguments will be heard.
AS a final justification for the sur
render of Port Arthur, Gen. Stoessel
introduced a letter today from Gen.
Kondratanko dated October 1, 1904, in
which the writer said he recognized
the necessity Of surrendering and asked
Gen. Stoessel to prepare the emperor
for this and to advise him to make
peace with Japan while the fortress was
still in Russian hands.
Gen. Stoessel addressed the court
saying he could not follow the advice
of Gen. Kondratanko because the COM
munications passed through too many
hands, consequently he defended the
fortress as long as it existed.
After saying he regarded the war
as hopelessly lost, Gen. Kondratanko
continued in his letter to Gen. Stoessel:
"The only honorable exit to the sit
uation is to initiate Immediately be-
fore the fall of the fortification ne
gotiations for peace. The peace then
will be obtainable under conditions not
humiliating to the national dignity.
''It- is highly possible that the full
truth is being withheld from the en-
peror A report giving the exact sit
uation might avert great misfortunes
to the country and l therefore appeal
to you, in virtue of the confidence the
emperor places in you, to inform his
majesty of the real situation"
