JAPANESE PRISONERS AT "PORT "ARTHUR.

HORRORS OF RUSSIAN PRISON DISCLOSED.

The experiences of the three Japanese merchants, who were recently imprisoned at Port Arthur by the Russians, are published in the fiji and the Chugai Shogy, Mr. Hajime Yamana, one of the party, makes the following

statement

Mr. Manhichi Takenouchi and I, both of the Kanegafuchi Cotton Mill, and Mr. Kokichi Tsuji of the Mitsul Bassan Kaisha left New chwang for the interior of Manchuria at the beginning of September for the purpose of ascertaining what kind of cotton yarns, the Chinese wuld take and what manner of transactions they would prefer,, War rumours were in the air, and it was considered to be dangerous to venture far inland. We therefore visited Lianyang, Moukden, Tickling, etc., and their outlying districts.

Lis.admitted. The hole-is-about-5ft-gia-above-f- the floor. The furniture of the cell consists of an iron bed, straw mauling two inches thick, and a table. Each cell is guarded by a soldier And there are always about 50 more on duty in the courtyard. Their vigilance is something beyond belief. They would never permit us to sleep for two consecutive hours. Every time they were relieved, they would knock at the door with their swords or kick it until we responded.

The monotony of the prison life was un- paralleled. We had nothing to read or to do For 31 days we had to brood over our fate, A source of unspeakable niisery was the thinness of our clothes. I was attired in a summer suit of alpaca and white trousers, and had nothing with which to keep myself warm except a thin blanket, and it was snowing when we were released. The cold seemed to reach the marrow, and I thought I should be frozen to death before long, Our guards were greedy beyond description.

In this manner prison life cost me Mr. Tsuji and I were also arrested on account of our being in his company. We were then brought before the commander of the Russian garrison, who asked us the purpose and destination of our journey and searched our clothes and baggage. Finally it was announced that the examination was not completed, and a little past midnight, we were put on board a train in custody of of several soldiers. For fifteen hours we were

I was impatient to let him know that we were in the clutches of the Russian military authorities, and was going to answer when our guards became angry, struck the Japanese traveller, and finally forced him out of the carriage.

Was vain to hope for communications with our coun. trymen, even If we were lucky enough to meet one of them. So I bribed the Rus- sian soldiers and bought beer for them, with the result that their manner greatly softened and they began to talk with us. At a station called Kuanchengisze, I descried a Japanese on the platform, and sauntered out from the carriage. As a Russian soldier of course fal- lowed me, I gave him some money. But as it was out of the question to address the Japanese openly, I drew him to a cigarette stail, and while buying cigarettes, asked him to inform the Mitsui Hussan Kaisha at New-Godowns of the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf chwang of our arrest.

The train stopped at Harbin on the 25th, at 4 p.m., when I was able to send a Japanese for Mr. Kawai, of the Mitsui Bussan office al Dalny, who was then staying at Harbin. He came to the station, saw us, talked to the Russian soldiers, and said to us; "Be at ease! I will do something."

NOTICE TO CONSIGNEES

We were then conveyed to the Russian barracks at Harbin, where we were imprisoned for about 24 hours without any count proceed. Ings. On the 26th, at 2 p.m., we were again put in a train bound for Port Arthur. A Russian officer and four soldiers guarded us.

Meanwhile the Mitsui Bussan's office at Dalny, receiving a telegram from Mr. Kawai, was deeply anxious about our fate, and sent one of its officials, Mr. Fujioka, to the station, where there is at junction and the name of THE Steamship. which I have forgotten. Mr. Fujioka was Awaiting us, and on pur arrival there he came into our train. We saw each other, but were not able to conversa. He remained with us until we arrived at Port Arthur on the 28th, nt 4 p.m., when we were conveyed in a carriage to the General Staff Office. En route, how- ever, Mr. Fujioka lost track of us having been unable to keep near for fear that the Russians should suspect his purpose.

We were kept at the Staff Office for three or four hours, but the Russians did not examine us. By and by, we were cast separately into the Russian prison, where we remained for the ubsequent 30 days without trial,

There is a Japanese firm called the Yoshida Shoten at Fort Arthur. It is purveyor, to the Russian army and b's business connections with the Mitsui Bussan. Mr. Fujioka, troubled at losing track of us, was consulting with the people of the firm, when a Russian soldier appeared and asked if they could prepare Japan- ese food for three persons. The Japanese rightly conjectured that the food was for us, and consented to supply it. This arrange- ment enabled them to learn our fate and ourselves to know that the Yoshida firm was still unmolested at Port Arthur, and that the world was still at peace. What we apprehended most was war, in the event of which we should have been butchered. On 27th October, we were tried for the first time by the Court Martial, Mr. Hino, representative of the Japanese at Port Arthur, interpreting. The Chief Procurator and the chief of a police station, who was a Major, took down the description of the route we had travelled, the object of the journey, etc., and made us sign affidavits. The next day, a soldier tossed us our baggage and announced that we might go. We were all very weak, and therefore lodged a right at the Yoshida firm, and returned to Newchwang by the Nantsu Maru. We spent 3 days in the prison, besides 5 days in travel. ling in Russian custody.

The prison at Port Arthur is enclosed by high walls and contains 17 or 18 cells. Each cell is 6ft. wide and gft, long;, the door con. sists of tremendously thick boards; the walls are of brick one foot in thickness and the floor is made of cement. The cell has only one window of about 3ft. square, which has a lattice of Iron bars, and double panes of thick glass beyond the lattice. The door has also a hole of about dva inches square, through which food
