Port Arthur, whose hills have for months run red with the blood of the bravest of the two war-like nations, has at last succumbed to the fierce tenacity of the Japanese attack. Gen eral Stoessel, most stubborn in carry ing out the will of his sovereign, has seen the advance of the-besieging army gain in momentum and energy until to hold out longer wculd have been a .crime against humanity. The conditions uf the surrender are not yet known, but in all quarters it is anticipated that they are such as an honorable sol dier may accept from a brave and vic torious enemy. At 9:45 o'clock Sunday night the commissioners completed the siuging of the capitulation agreement. Eoth armies had suspended hostilities five hours earlier. The city of Port Ar thur will be occupied by the Japanese. The authorities at St. Petersburg, in the absence of direct official nows V from General Stoessel that Port Ar thur has surrendered, have not per mitted the news to become public. Em peror Nicholas is in the south ofRus si?, and his Ministers are for the time bping in the dark as to what dis patches have been sent to him from the front. Tokio was the scene of rejoicing, people of all ranks finding in the out come compensation for all the sacri fice of life and money that was en tailed in the ten months' siege. To what extent the fall of Port Ar thur will make for a restoration of peace is an open question. There is an encouraging note in the expression by Baron Hayashi, Japanese minister at London, of the hope that "in some way it will facilitate final peace," though the pacific note is perhaps lost in tne later words of the minister, whicn call attention to the fact that the besieging army will now be free to go north, where it will be an offset to the rein forcements General Kuropatkin has been receiving from Russia since the battle of Shakhe. The spirit of the Russians may be judged by the state ment of the secretary of the embassay at London that the campaign will be renewed with fresh vigor in the spring, and that the nation will not be content to permit Port Arthur to remain in the hands of the Japaese. Both in Paris and in London the opinion is that the squadron under Vice- Admiral Rojestyensky, which ^-?t?rted from Libau for the far East three months ago, wjll have to retrace its way home, as adherence to th9 original plans would invite disaster without probabllitiy of effecting a junc tion with the warships at pres2nt in the harbor of Vladivostock. That Japan may not be permitted to retain pos session of Port Arthur without dist ut?, is shown in the fact that Paru news papers are already reviving the claim made in 1901 that the holding of that position commanding the Eastern seas by the Japanese would be a menace to European powers. Chefoo, By Cable-Commander Kart zow, of the Russian torpedo boat de stroyer Vlastni, which arrived here u'O&y, in an interview said: "Port Arthur falls of exhaustion, .' exhaustion not only of ammunition, but of men .

Stiowcr1 phone cumbs At Last To The Fhe Japanese ? day they reached the limit of haman endurance. "Ja the casemate of the forts one saw everywhere faces black with star t vation. exhaustion and nerve strain, You spoke to them, but they did not Igive answer, only staring dumbly. j "The lack of ammunition alone j would have suggested the seeking j cf terms. Scant ammunition had long been common in thc fortress, and dur ing the past month many of the forts had nothing with which to return the fire of the enemy. "The Russians sat in the casemates, firing not more than once to the two hundred shots sent by the Japanese. When the assault came they repulsed the enemy with bayonets. But the men themselves, having existed for three months on reduced rations, were so worn that it is marvelous they stood the final strain so long. "Yesterday General Stoessel would still fight. His wound, which was re ceived early in the siege, had been bothering him, but his determination to.fight while one man stood had not been diminished. "'But we cannot fight,' said his gen erals. 'Our men cannot move. They Sleep standing. They cannot see the bayonets at their breasts. We can order, but they cannot obey.' " 'Then you generals fight' saki Stoessel, clinched his fists. 'Ile seemed fanatical on the sah ject, but finally he was brought to see reason by the insistence of his subor dinates. Admirals Lochiusky and Wiren, Generals Smirnoff and Fock, I and many other:. sometimes with broken voices, urged the step which all dreaded so long. "The greatest loss suffered by Port ArtU'-j occurred a fortnight ago, when Major General Krondratenko was Kwied. Officers and men alike re garued him as the brightest star in lort Arthur's firmament. When his death became known^ the~?ali -itt the spirits of the soldiers was plainly vis iole. General ivondratenko was seated ia. the casemate of a certain fort dis cusing with seven other officers the best way of countermining against the Japanese, when an eleven-inch shr.Il burst, killing everybody in the casemate. "General Nogi has taken Port Arthur with his artillery and his tunnel?!. His rifle bullets were seldom found to be of any use. ''We who came here Monday do not know the terms of surrender sugest ed by General Stoessel to General Nogi ncr the answer, having left Port Ar thur even before the messenger had been dispatched. The general impres sion, however, is that Stoessel has proposed that the army shall go free and that he alone be made a prisoner. "It is a simple story. Had thc am munition held out the fortress would have held out indefinitely. For months we held Pert Arthur by baj-onets alone, until flesh and blood could do no more. When a man fell there was none other to replace him. Thus the garrison was gradually worn down. Two hundred and Three-Meter Hill alone cost us five thousand men. The capture of that hill was the beginning of the end." Tokio Wildly Joyous. Tokio, By Cable.-Tokio is wildly joyous over Gen. Nogi's teelgram an nouncing that Gen. Stoessel had sent a letter relating to the surrender of Port Arthur. News boys crying ex tras were the center of large crowds. The people grabbed the papers and re peated the cries. Thus was the news carried throughout the city, and with in a few minutes the firing of aerial and daylight rockets began in various ?part3 of the city. Bands appeared and a score of small processions formed and surged through the principal streets. Japan has paid a heavy price for the Russian fortress. The pros pect of its early posession cheered the people as no other t vent of the war has done. The Lmperor's New Year's reception and auence to the army and navy and officers and civil officials con tinned this morning. The news from Port Arthur gave additional cheer to the general exchange of congratula tions. Increased Wages For Thousands.
