St. Petersburg, November, 9.-Thore is the greatest rejoicing hore at thG failure of tho recent Japanese attacks on Port Arthur. The papers aro tilled with columns of praise, interspersed with poems, eulogizing the gallant defense made by General Stoessel and tho heroic garrison. The linn convic tion provnils here that General Stoes sel would never surrender and that if the fortress fails the garrison will go down lighting. According to information received by the war oflice .00,001) is a low estimate of the Japanese losses before Port Ar thur. Tokio, November 0.-It is reported that the Japanese have completely silenced the forts on Kihlung and Sung mountains and that their main strength is now attacking Ftso moun tain. Tokio, November 10.-It is reported that General Stoessel, commanding at Port Arthur, has asked the Japanese for an armistice, the purpose of which is net stated. ? continuation of tho report is unobtainable. lt is hoped hero that General Stoes sel will capitulate before the city proper is taken.

Under these conditions it will pos sibly bo difficult to avoid a massacre when the troops meet in the liual com bat.

It will be published with the en dorsement of all the camps of Veterans and Sons of this city and under the direction of Committees from all these Camps.
