A special correspondent of the Standard wrote on Feb. 15th. In accordance with out instructions, I left Constantinople a few days ago to await at Port Said the arrival of the Australien, with General Stoessel and the other officers from Port Arthur who have given their parcis.

He informed me that on October 17, with the exception of Fort Kuropatkin, on the extreme left, the Japanese flag was flying over all the Eastern forts for the space of several hours. Some of them were quickly recaptured, but between Forts 2 and 3, behind Eagle's Next Hill, a small body of Japanese succeeded in holding on to a portion of the glacis up to December 12. They were aspirated by a dis. lance of barely ten yards from the Russians occupying the opposite cape sere,

To this General Storsal replied "After October the garrison had as rations three pounds of bread per day and 100 grammes of horse flesh twice a week. I admit the truth of the statement that there were 2.000 horses in the lines, Iat they were absolutely necessary for the

The reflections made on the conduct of his officers especially incensed the Goueral. It was alleged that only 200 of them had been killed or wounded in the whole course of Ueniore. "Well," he ВЫЙ I can show you the official medical retures. They prove that over 200 had been killed outright, and that 600 had been wounded, and had gone into hospital-some of these, how over, passing through twice."
