In an interview the Consul stated that the reports contain evidence of exaggeration in the Japanese official reports. The Russians are still holding all northern forts. The tone of the dispatches show that General Stüssel does not anticipate fai.ure,
The Consul declined for the present to answer any question in reference to the dis abling of the Russian ships in Port Arthuş.
Chefoo, 10th December.
Seven Russians, apparently either naval or military officers, came out of Port Arthur last night, taking advantage of a furious snowstorm, and arrived here at 5 p.m. to-day with blankets, provisions, and dispatches, in a two-masted boat, and entered the Russian Consulate.

The Situation in Manchuria.
Tokio, 16th December.
Some military sections at Tokio believe that General Kuropatkin has not yet abandoned his plan for the relief of Port Arthur, because the main girdle of forts is still in Russian hands, and that the recent lail on the Shaho is due to the Russians awaiting the possession of a superiority in numbers.
The Russian casualties two months ago were about 70,0:0, and these it is now believed have been replaced. When the rivers are frozen and the roads are hard, the communications will naturally be expedited.

The upshot of the matter seems to be that the

Preparations made hur riedly were most expensive and extremely un- economical. The speaker went on to urge that it was incumbent on those in the Colony to join the League, for he could not help saying that it was most unsatisfactory that out of some 1,200 or more British adul

The second and third prisoners were arrested as the result of what No. 1 told the police, and they subsequently made voluntary statements admitting that they were taken by No. 1 to the lighters, their intention being to commit a felony.
The jury found the prisoners guilty. Further charges against the men were not proceeded with.
His Lordship, in passing sentence, charac- terised the prisoners as desperadoes, and it was necc.sary for the safety of the community that they be put out of the way for a considerable time. They would each have to go to pri: on with hard labour for five years, and each
