and his men virtually without without
food, surrendered the fortress to Gen.
eral Nogi.
For this action General Stoessel was
condemned to death on Feb. TO- 1908, by
a court martial. This sentence. how
ever, was commuted by Emperor
Nicholas to ten years imprisonment.
He was released from confinement from
the fortress of st. Peter and ST. Paul
the following year by order Of Emperor
Nicholas.
The trial Of Stoessel was dramatic
one thruout. General Smirnoff, who
was acting commander of the fortress.
categorically accused Stoessel of COW
ardice and incapability and of deliber-
ate treason in Fastening the surrender
In order to save his own life. Other
officers gave similar testimony.
General Kuropatkin, the Russian
commander in chief, was one of Cen
eral Stoessel's stanch supporters.
Kurapatkin testified that the Japanese
could have taken Port Arthur by
assault in the early days of the war,
and that their slowness alone gave the
Russians time to improve the defense
works so that the position could be held
for several months.
General Nogi and other high Jap
anese officers offered to appear before
the court martial and testify in behalf
of General Stoessel, but their offer was
declined.
Stoessel was born in 1s4S and entered
the army in 1864. He came from mill

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to Measure

Washington, Jan. 1s.-Chief interest
In congress today centered in the out
come Of tonight,s caucus Of senate
democrats on the administration ship
purchase bill. All hope Of passage at
this session Of any general legislation
as well as some of the appropriation
bilb is practically given up owing to
the legislative tangle in the, senate.
Tonight's caucus. the second one on
the shipping bill, Is for the purpose If
passing on several amendments. Demo-
Gratis are divided over the form of the
BILL vigorous OPPOSITION having de-
veloped to the government ownership
feature at Saturday nights caucus.
They were confronted also by the op-
position OF the republicans.
Some of the democrats, however, say
that II the government ownership and
government controlled steamship cor
poration features are eliminated at the
caucus. the measure can be passed and
that 1t will have the support of pro-
gressive republicans. Another matter
to decide IL how much continuous time

British Observer Declares German SOL

London. Jan. 1s.-A military observer
at the British army headquarters in
France, writing under date of Jan. 16.
discusses the physical and mental con-
ditions" of the British and German
troops. The writer, after making al
lowance for the possibility that the
German prisoners represent the more
morbid soldiers. says there is diff
ferent feeling in the German rank and
file from that existing few weeks
ago."
Some of our prisoners" the OBJ
server continues, now realize that a
victorious advance is out Of the ques-
tion and that their duty is merely to
gain any advantage commensurate with
the sacrifices incurred. A thought of
a general forward movement appears to
a great extent to have disappeared, but
there are few Germans who contem-
plate the possibility of an actual defeat
and the invasion of their country.
AS regards physical well-being 1t Is
doubtful IL the Germans are SO we'll as
are the British. The German medical
arrangements also are inferior Many
civilian physicians without surgical
experience are being used. They showed
surprising ignorance. running several
instruments intended for disartculattng
liaments, by attempting to cut bones
with them. After this they were not
permitted to operate .

morning he took with him most OF the
troops garrisoning the capital. State
department advices indicate Guiterrez's

dent. was to utilize the police force
temporarily as soldiers
The state department is anxious to
know whether Gutierrez has abandoned
all claims to the presidency or had
gone to Pachuco with part of his cab
met to set up government there In
defiance to the constitutionalist faction
