we have it we shall not care to part with it again. We shall have captured it twion, and there is a strong feeling of sentiment in Japan which inclines us to hold it. It may not again be fortified, for just as Eng. land does in the case of Wel-Hai-Wei, we -are agreed in thinking that its strongest defence in the future will be a powerful Navy.
Stoessel seems to be a very fine Gen- eral, his Excellency went on to say. We have really besieged the town since August 1, and it has held out splendidly. The de- fence in well compared to that of Kars under your General Williams. Sebastopol was different, for that was open to the rear. Port Arthur is completely invested. It has become an affair of sap and mine, and has been since we found that we could not carry it by assault, and we are awaiting the final attack now. A great many people date the commencement of the siege from the battle of Nanshan in May, but that is not the case. The Russians sent all their best ships and their best men out at the boginning. We know that the Second Pacific Squadron has gone to sea with
untrained men, and it seems to be their intention to train them on the voyage. But sailors are very different from soldiers, and require long training. We are fort- unate in having a great reserve of ex- perienced seamen who have been actually trained on our warships, and then we have been under no need to call on them largely, for our losses have been comparatively slight at sea.'
