Gen. STOEssEL

st. Petersburg, Jan. 1.-THE court-mar'
tional of Lieut.. Gen. stoessel was resumed
here yesterday and the court began the
taking OF testimony regarding the actual
capitulation of Port Arthur.
The general is charged with having
surrendered this fortress to the japanese
before fits resources were exhausted. Tho

Year before reaching the most important
point In the testimony. namely, stoes-
sells motive In opening the negotiations
Of eapitulation. stoessel is expected TO
address the court personally on his own
behalf concerning this point.
Col. Kvostoff a member of Gen. Smir
noff's staff who participated I'm the nego-
tiations. testified that the Japanese con-
ditons were accepted without discussion
because there was no time TO consider
individually the various points made. He
said he gained the impression that the
parleyings were merely a cover for pre-
arranged surrender.
The testimony OF other officers was
more favorable TO Gen. Stoessel CO..
Golitzynsky, commander OF the fort call
ed the Eagles Nest, maintained that the
fall OF this fort spelled the end OF Port
Arthur, for this position was the highest
point OF all the fortihcations ana COM

Tho men in court were moved TO cheers
when Col. Golitznsky related how the
garrison under his command was time

OF japanese shells and bullets. Fresh
volunteers. however. were always ready
TO move forward into the verltable infer

H0TLY Defends
HIS ATTITUDE

| Rochester. NY, Jan 1.-THE news OF the
failure OF the congregation of the propa-
ganda at Rome to appoint Rev. Or. Ed
ward J. Hanna archbishop coadjutor OF
San Francisco and the comment thereon
aroused a remarkable battle OF arguments
among the professors OF ST. Bernard $
seminary. to which DR.. Hanna is attach
ed.
DR.. Andrew T.. Breen of the seminary,
whose charges OF modernism" against
Rev. DIR. Edward ]. Hanna OF the same
institution have delayed and may prevent
the latter's appointment as coadjutor
bishop issued a statement in which he
not only defended his attitude toward
DR.. Hannas candidacy but sharply crit
icized those who dsapprovcd of his posi-
tion.
DR.. Breen's statement was inspired by
an interview with Bishop McQuaid who
said that IL had been definitely decided
that the report unfavorable to the ortho-
doxy OF DR. Hanna originated with Rev.
DIR. Breen.
Every member of st. Bernard's semi
nary faculty. the bishop said, had been
given the opportunity TO sign statement
solemnly vowing that he had no part In
making the charges All he said. had af-
fixed their signatures to- the declaration
except DR. Breen showing conclusively"
the bishop concluded, that DIR. Breen
was the one who sent our the report"
Rev Or. Breen has been "a member OF
the ST. Bernard's faculty for several
years and besides ranking high among his
colleagues Is one OF the best known of
the semnary's professors and OF the
bishops younger priests.
DR.. Breen said that the appointment Of
DIR. Hanna az coadjutor of Rochester
was systematically opposed by those
who are now furthering his candidacy
for San Francisco. The present attitude
is due he says TO a wish TO advance the
interests OF st. Bernard. For himself he
says that he never WROTE TO the propa-
ganda or to any cardinal concerning Or.
Hanna's orthodoxy.
He had been convinced however, that
the candidate expressed loose views on
some essential tenets, and he (Breen) eX-
pressed his convictions 10 a friend in
Rome, writing in the same vein TO Arch
bishop Riordan.
All was In good faith. and IL Rome
should vindicate DR. Hanna, against
whom he had no personal feeling what
ever, he would be well satisfied. lie
merely holds that the situation is one 10
be reviewed and passed upon by the
proper authorities.
His position might have been learned
by the bishop at any time had the latter
addressed him upon the subject. lie can
not. however. proclaim himself a color
less nonentity' by signing such state
ment as the bishop prepared, even were
he I'm the fullest sympathy with DR..
Hanna's candidacy.

feated the quntette from Waterbury by a
score Of 3 TO last evening at Infantry
hall
The game opened with Daley securing
the rush and the red being carried back
toward Cusick. He was bombarded by
Curtis and McGilvray. kicking off half
dozen shots in quick succession. Then
Curtis got teaser In the circle, but
failed in his effort TO poke It to the
netting
A swinging stick struck Curtis on the
fieshy part Of the nose. inficting a cut
which bled freely While tho court plas-
ter was being put on O'Brien played at
