Nofi ami Stoesst! Meet
Headquarters of. the Third. Japanese
Army in Front of Port Arthur, Jan.
(via'Tien Tsln). The meeting of Gen
Nogf and Gen. Stoessel today was as
undramatic as the whole conclusion of
the siege. It had . previously been' ar
ranged" to take place aj: .noon in the
single undamaged house of the village
of Shuishl. The house was a . miser
able hovel called Plum ,Tree Cottage.
Through a misunderstanding Gen
Stoessel rode Out of Port Arthur at 10
o'clock, accomr nied by-Col. Reiss and
two staff officers, to the Japanese lines
and missed the Japanese officer dele
gated to escort him ; to f the meeting
place. The general rode 'there without
an escort and was received by a Ju
nior officer who happened to be on the
spot" The latter telephoned to Nogl
who hurried his departure from head
quarters and arrived at H o'clock, ac
companied by Maji Ijichi, his chief o:
staff, and Cols. Yasuhara, Matsudaira
and Watanabe, staff officers, and M,
Kawakrin, secretary of the foreign of
flee at Tokio.
Gen. Stt assel is a large man of heavy
appearance, ' and looks like, a good
fighter. - . '
When Nogl, looking careworn, , en
tered the compound of the cottage, the
generals cordially shook hands and
Nogi, through an interpreter, expressed
his pleasure at meeting a general who
had fought so bravely and gallantly for
his emperor and country. Gen. Stoes
sel thanked Gen. Nogi for the pleasure
of meeting there the hero of the vic
torious army.
Gen. Nogi explained that he had re
ceived a message from his emperor
that the greatest consideration be
shown to Gen. Stoessel and his officers
In appreciation of their splendid loy
alty to their emperor and country. Be
cause of that wish, he added, the Rus
sian officers would be allowed to wear
their swords.
Gen. Stoessel expressed his gratitude
to the Japanese emperor for this sav
ing the honor of his (Stoessel's) family,
and said his descendants would appre
ciate the thoughtful kindness of the
emperor of Japan. The general also
rRS.ta me grauuiae oi-nia umara

sage from Gen. , lR5e"Se
Nicholas and transmitting his majes- "
tjr's reply, which read:
"I allow each officer to profit by the
reserved privilege to return to Russia
under the obligation not to take fur
ther part in the present war or share in
the destinies of their men. I tnanK .
you and the brave men of the garrison
for the gallant defense."
The generals praised each other and
their officers for their bravery. ; . :
The conversation ; afterjeardturned-
on the erplosion of the mine arShangO
shu mountain fort ; General Stoessi y
said the entire garrison of the fofC
was killed or made prisoners.
The Russian "commander greatly
praised the Japanese artillery practice,
especially the concentrated fire which
was instantaneous with the explosion
of the Shangshu mine. The gallant''
deeds of the Japanese infantry, General
Stoessel added, spoke for themselves.
It was impossible to exaggerate their
good qualities. The skillful work of .
the engineers had also won admiration.
Continuing, General Stoessel said he
had hsard that Gener?! Nogi had lost
both of his sons and praised his loyalty
in thus sacrificing his sons who had
died fighting for their emperor and
country, .; 7": ; "P":
General Nogi smilingly replied: "One
of my sons gave his life at Nanshan
and the other at 203 Metre Hill. Both
oThees&ttjjobU the great
est! importance.to tiiejapsjjf
I am glad that the sacrifice of my
sons' lives had been made in the cap
ture of such important positions, as 1
feel the sacrifices were not made in
vain. Their lives were nothing com
pared to the objects sought" '
General :oessel then asked permis
sion to present his charger to General
Nogi as a token of h.s appreciation
and admiration.
General Nogi expressed thanks for
the Russian general's kindness, but
said he could not accept the horse,
but, he continudd, he would accept It
for the Lrmy, since he considered that
the Russian horses were the property
of Japan and felt he could not make
General Stoessel's charger his private
property. General Nogi also promised
that when the horse was handed over
to him to see that it was treated with
the greatest kindness out of respect for
the brave Russian foe.
Thereupon General Stoessel assured
General Nogi that he admired his rig
orous principles and appreciated his
point of view. t -
The Japanese commander requested
General Stossel to continue to occupy
hjs residence at Port Arthur until ar
rangements were completed for the re
turn of himself an family to Russia.
Referring to the I rial of the dead,
General Nogi said the Japanese since
the beginning of the military opera
tions had always buried the Russian
dead. Those found later on would be
interred at a special spot and a suit
able memorial would be erected as a
tribute to the bravery of the formar
foes of the Japanese.
After luncheon, t which both gen
erals sat together, a group photograph
was taken at the cottage and General
Stoessel remounted hi3 charger to
show the horse's good points and raid
good-bye to General Nogi and rode
back to Port Arthur. -
The quiet and even solemn meeting
of the generals ended at. about 1
o'clock. The regular Russian soldiers
in Port Arthur marched out today. The
only troops now in the city are' the
volunteers. -
Two fires were started in Port Ar
thur today, for which General Stoessel
apologized.. He said . the volunteers
were unable to control thrxK)pulace
and. he desired the Japr Je enter
Port Arthur immediately'; .w iteep or
der.. -
The formal entry of - the .Japanese
army Into Port-Arthur has-been fixed
for Sunday, January 8. '
