THE LAST HOURS AL PORT ARTHUR.
STOESSEL'S REPORT TO THR CZAR,
The following interesting telegram, dated, Chefeo 3rd inst., 4 pm. is reprinted from the China Gazilla :----
Torpedo launches arriving here to-day brought General Stoessel's last report to St. Petersburg, outlining the situation at Port Arthur previous to the surrender. The Rus sian commander therein pays a glowing tribute to his men and officers, eulogizing Gen. Smirnoff and the deceased Gen. Kondratchenko, Details are given showing the terrible caridi tion of the garrizan, the scarcity of ammunition and the fierceness of the enemy's 'shell fire. The report is now in the hands of the Russian Consul for transmission.
A Naval officer arriving with the launches speaks as follows: "There was nothing left for us to do but to surrender. The cuemy held Songrushan and other main forts and, their shells fell like rain. ́Bad General Stoessel waited longer the garrison would have been ex- terminated. General Smirnoff himself favoured surrender; likewise the garrison, unanimously, But the men wept when the first message asking for terms was sent. The soldiers stood in the trenches, staring stupidly at one another, while their officers, prostrated, sobbed as if their hearts would break. No bands played that day, and I don't remember seeing a single smil, ing face.

-quarters, but only to find that the General was absent, whereupon the Russian officer returned without any answer,
Un the sims evening the Japanese army cessed the bombardment, but re-opened it on Monday, contioning it till six o'clock in the evening, when General Stoessel
was in receipt of General Nogi's answer-and was seen con- versing with a group of Japanese officers upon Eagle Hill.

It is now believed that the Japanese occupy all the permanent forts, but have not yet entered into the town. This they may do so to-morrow, Coincident with the cessation of the Japanese shell fire on Sunday evening (such fire being resumed again on Monday morning) the Rus FROM 1st January, 1905, we have Censed sians began the work of destruction, "blowing up two forts between six and seven, and setting the storehouses on fire."
Explosions along the line of defence were frequent during the night,
The destruction of the ships began with the cruiser Bayan,
The battleship Sevastopol was blown up at the entrance to the harbour by means of gun cotton. This was placed amidships and the vessel was fairly cut in two, her bow sinking first.
Officers arriving tell of the tragic deaths of General Kondrachenkound Colonel Rajhevsky.
The former, the highest ranking military officer at Port Arthur, was killed during the siege, while Colonel Rajhgysky, who was con- sidered the bmyest and most daring men ja the Russian army, was distinguished for having "The condition of the hospitals was hot-taken-two photographs on the Petropavlosk rible, the odour of human blood and fostering when she was going down. wounds pauseating oven the Sisters of Charity, accustomed as they are to such things.
The Russian ladies in attendance upon the wounded had to wear cotton saturated in eau de Cologne in their nostrils. So severe was the shell fire, that few of the hospitals escaped injury and many men were killed while lying wounded in their cots. Doctors and nurses were killed likewise. Hundreds are suffering from disgusting mouth ulcers, the result of eating horse-meat. The Sisters of Charity and volunteer nurses worked day and night, many fainting at their posts. Some inmates of the hospitals complain bitterly of what.seemed to them the heartlessness of the doctors and Sis: ters of Charity who have grown so accustom- ed to human suffering as to appear to the poor sick and wounded men to have lost all sympathy. According to the registration returns kept in the hospital sixty-five per cent, of the officials were killed or wounded. Only twenty out of 207 naval: officers remain uninjured. My father was at the siege of Sevastopol, but he never saw there what I saw in the hospitals of Port Arthur,
"The shrieks and moaning of the wounded, the death rattle of the dying, all combined to make the place a veritable bell.
"Medicines ara scarce and the number of doctors deficient even to attend where immedi- ate operations are necessary to save life.
"I shall never forget the heroism of the wounded officers and men, who having received wounds not incapacitating them from duty would stagger in, throw their arm aside and aid in dressing their own wounds; then grab their accoutrements and hurry back into the trenches. Similar scenes were of daily occur. rence during the clasing hours of the singe,
"When General Stoessel requested terms, I can safely say that the number available for duty was not more than four thousand, of which a good percentage were either in bad health, due to the lack of fresh food, or were slightly wounded. It was impossible for this number of men to garrison defances having [1393 circumference of ten miles sufficiently to repel

"When we left the inner basin at eight o'clock last night the enemy were still firing and using their twelve inch guns from positions perfectly commanding the fortress. The city was shrouded in smoke and the detonations and explosions of our arsenale, machine shops and supply depots were deafening. The entrance to the barbour was completely blocked for the passage of big ships by our vessels which had
been sunk by ourselves.
"The total number of Japanese assaults, upon our positions was fifty-six. Recently
their bombardments were almost continual and much more effective than before.
Chefoo, 4th January, 1.10 am. An officer, supposed to be of high rank, arriving this morning with the launches, states that the Port Arthur garrison awaited the word of HIM. Czar.
The despatches duly arrived in which the Czar stated that he did not expect the garrison to fight any longer, and His Imperial Majesty therefore would leave the decision as to the further defence in their hands.
A Council of War was immediately held, commencing at 4 p'clock on Sunday afternoon and lasting for three hours.

saida Brist lady, "receiv ed, more attention than 1
desired. People made re marks about me as I passed. I was called 'a walking ghost, my face was so pale and thin from anemia. I had very poor blood. Food seemed to do me no good. My head ached, and I felt tired after the least exertion. My father thought I was going into a consump- tion,
"After many years of illness a friend recom. mended me to try Dr. Williams' pink pills. The first bottle certainly made me better, and after the second bottle there was a marked im provement. I felt stronger, and was less easily tired. Colour commenced to come into my face-a sare sign that the pills were making new blood, and my friends noticed the change for the better. I continued the couras, and I cannot remember when I was so healthy be- fore. I work well, eat well, and sleep well."
The speaker was Mrs. Thorne, 106 St. Mark's-road, Bristol, England. Dr. Williams' pink pills cured her because they made new blood. Whatever diseases arise from too little bloed, or blood that lacks richness and purity, they can cure, just as surely as food cures hunger. The genuine pills always bear Dr. Williams' name, and substitutes are useless and fraudulent. Dr. Williams' medicine ca, Holborn Viaduct, London, England, will send
a bottle post free for two shillings and nine- pence to any address. It is by making new blood that they cure anemia, bile, consump- tion; indigestion, St. Vitus dance; it is by making pure blood that they cure rheumatism, kidney disease, eczema and all skin troubles. They give strength to everyone, especially to women, who know why they need new blood more often than their husbands and brothers.
