ANESE A RM Y, at Port Arthur,
via Tien Tsln Captain Tsunoda,
the Japanese stall otlicor who was
sent to Port Arthur to Inform Gen
eral Stoessel of tho contents uf tho
messago of tho emperor of Jap in,
saying that tho girrlson should bo
treated with tho greatest consldci-
atlm, says:
"General Stocssel's first Inquiry
was about tho whereabouts ot Gen
oral Kurooutkln. I said I did not
know exactly, but'understood ho was
somewhere about Mukden.
"Goneral Stoessel remarked that
he had last heard fioin Gcnoral
Kuropatklu October 0, saying ho
w uld eomo to relievo Port Arthur
soon. Gunoral Stoessel added that
ho had sent out Chinese spies who
returned and reported that Gcnoral
Kuropatkln, with a relieving army,
wus at Kinchou, twenty miles north
of Port Arthur. General Stoessel
was plainly Jncrcdulous at my state
ment that General Kuropatkln had
been defeated and driven back to
wards Mukden, so I produced maps,
showed him the position o' tho two
armies near the Shakho river and
gave Stoessel details of Kuropatkln's
defeat with the loss of 50,000 to 60,-
000 men, at which the Russian yen
nnri i
eral expressed amazement
quickly remarked that ho had beon
misled.
'oeneral Stoessel then asked
whero the Baltic fleet was, and told
him that sumo of tho ships had not
passed tho Cape of Good IIopo.
"With a hopeless expression Gen
eral Stoessel said:
"Now that Port Arthur has fallen
there is no use for tho fleet coming
any further."
'I then asked Gcnoral Stoessel
what hud caused the most damao
to the garrison during tho slogo, and
ho replied:
Your eleven-Inch howitzers.
After they arrived our defcnslvo
wanes bicarao useless.'
"General Stoessel then polntod
out that ho and Admiral Alexief
had been through tho boxer trouole,
and had seen the work of the Japan
ese army. General Stnossol also said
he had been associated with the Jap
anese cenerals, Yamaguchl and
Fukushlma, at that time, and ex
pressed tho opinion that tho Rus
sian and Japineso forces had borno
the linns' share of the work. Since
then ho had a hieh Idea of tho or
ganization and fighting qualities of
the Japanese armies.
"The real caue of the war was, in
General Stoessel's opinion, tho Ig
norance of the Russian people of the
righting qualities of tho Japanese.
The first attack on Port Arthur in
February by the Japanese fleet was
a tremendous surpri'o Tho forts
lie explained, were only partly gap
risoned by two thousand troops.
"At this point General Stoessel
Fald ho had always opposed the
scheme of Govtrnor SukhaiofI ot
Port Dalny in spending money in
building up Port Dalny, Instead of
finishing the defense of Port Arthur,

"Continuing General Stoessel
prahoi the Ingenuity, pluck and
patience of the Japaneso infantry,
especially In making siego parullels
and trenches to the -forts.
