The Brial conneil of war which we held on morning of January I was unanimbusly in quite untrue that I dis-ested from the decision, "We found the Japanese extremely chivalrons victors, and of them all General Nogi himself was the most chivalrous.
"
I told the General that the prevailing view in Japon was that ho should have committed suicide
on surrendering, but he laughed at the notion. Ito refused to discuss the various reports that are current as to friction between "Generals Sairao and Fork and the admirals, bat be. asked eagerly for news from Russin bearing on this or similar questions. cerning

General Kuropatkip. The Standard's correspondent telegraphod :-- According to Russian estimates, the force! loft in the Kwantung Peninsula, when it waa bisacted by the Japanese, amounted to 35,00 mon, exclusive of the navy.
The losses during the siege were 16,000. Nino or ten thousand men surrendered, many of whom were unfit for duty, and there were 15,00 sick and wounded.
The officers casualties were very heavy. Fifty per cent. of them were killed, including two Generals. Only 28 officers passed through the siege unscathed.
