4 THE 0EQOm&$t ' tAUARX 9,. 1905. OF PEMJE Umsdorff Said to Favor End of War. SALYE TO RUSSIA'S PRIDE 'Promise to Leave Manchuria iong Since Made EMPEROR'S COUNCIL IS ENDED Stv Petersburg 'Diplamsty lejievc if Japan Makes -AnyStrt f .Reasoii- aWe-0ffer1t':WIII Lead to Opening sf ' Negotiations. oT- PETERSBURG, Jan. 9 (2:10 A. M.) The conference which 'Emperor Nicholas has been, holding wjth .members of the Jo(nt Court of the Empire, M. WItte and oilier members ' and advisers, on the In terna and external situations, has -been concluded, but nothing has occurred which -would indicate that thev govern ment Is prepared to depart from its pres ent programme- of continuing -the war to the bitter end. Nevertheless, alk of peace -was heard Sunday In many quar ters, th foundation for it being ascribed to Foreign Minister -LamsdorfTs alleged position jn favor of such course on the ground that, aside from the humiliation to military prestige involved it would only mean the relinquishment of Man churia, to which Russia already is for mally pledged. There Is no conflrmationof this state ment of Count LamsdorfTs position be yond the general knowledge that he al wajs has belonged to the peace par.ty. It is quite probable that the peace, talk gossip "has been produced by thearrlval of -foreign papers, as it receives no 'en couragement In responsible quarters liere. The belief, which existed Jn exception ally well-Informed diplomatic circles, that Japan would follow the fall of Port Arthur with moderate peace propositions has not been realized. Up to tho present time nothing has reached the government, "Ither through the United States or other channels. Diplomats here cannot figure ut the general lines of a peace treaty at this Juncture which both belligerents could accept, but realize that if Japan makes any sort of offer, unless it Is re jected outright, as not entertalnablc, ne gotiations would be opened, and negotia tions at once entered upon in which friends qf both parties could use their good offices and bring about good terms. This is the only hope for a termination of the war which diplomats can see. Solemn services in honor of those who fell 1n the defense of Port Arthur were held on Sunday at the Kazean Cathedral and the Troitka Monastery. The .service passed off without demonstration of any aort. Neither the Einpcror nor members Of the Council were present. A requiem was held simultaneously in the chapel at Tsarko-Sclo. Although Field-Marshal Oyama took pains formally to communicate the news of the fall of Port Arthur to General Kurop.itkln. announcement has not been made to the army In Manchuria, or at least no mention of such announcement is made in dispatches from the front of the manner in which the news -was re ceived there. One curious dispatch spoke of a big celebration of New Year's day along the Japanese lines, the Russians evidently mistaking jubilation over 'Gen eral Stoesscl's surrender for New Tear's festivities. PRISONERS OF THE JAPANESE Three Generals and a Rear-Admiral Arrive at Tokio. TOKIO. Jan. S. Lieutenant-Generals Fock, Smyrnoff and Gorbatowsky and Rear-Admiral Wiren have been brought to Japan as prisoners of war. General Stocasc will leave Dalny January 12 nri a Japanese transport for. Nagasaki. He will be accompanied by the other paroled officers. The Russians prob ably will remain in Japan a few days and then proceed on a French steamer to Europe, going by way of the Suez CanRl. General Nogi reports that the officers paroled to date number 441 and order lies 229. Reports previously received were to the effect that both Lieutenant-Gener-ala Fock and Smyrnoff had been killed at Port Arthur. January 2, a St. Peters burg dispatch denied that Fock had "been killed, but admitted that he had been wounded. A dispatch received from Mukden January 7 said that while the death of Fock had not been pub lished. It had for six weeks been ac cepted there as a fact. The report of oenerai smyrnon s aeath had never been confirmed. The only Prince Admiral known to have been at Port Arthur was Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky. A St. Pe tersburg dispatch on Saturday said that reports had, been received there fron eneroo that Prince Ouktomsky had ar rived at Cbefoo on board a launch. REFUSE PAROLE. Generals Fock and Smyrnoff Will Re- 'main Prisoners of War. HEADQUARTERS OF THE JAPAN ESE THIRD ARMY, at Tort Arthur, via Fusan. Jan. S. General Fock. commander of the Fourth East Siberian Rifle Bri gade, and General Smyrnoff. who com manded the forts, have decided to go to Japan as prisoners of war. There were five Admirals at Port Ar thur, including Prince Ouktomsky, and one of these will go to Japan. Fifty per cent of the officers will share imprison ment with their men. Twelve naval attaches visited Porth Ar thur and Inspected the sunken vessels of -the Russian fleet. The above dispatch and the earlier dis patch from Toklo indicate that the ru mors of the death of General Fock were without foundation. NAVAL STATION AT ARTHUR Garrison Will ie Small Dalny to Se Opened. TOKIO. Jan. 8.(Noon.) The Japanese intend to establish a naval station at Port Arthur. Vice Admiral Shlbayama will probably be placed tn charge "of it. The military admjnistration at Port Ar- SENS thur tvll .retain -only a, small garrison as soon as tbci prisoners are withdrawn and order is restored. - The fleet is busily engaged In clearing seines, but owing to 'their great number navigation will tc unsafe for a long time. Oniy government era ft"" will be allowed to enter the harbor. It Is probable that Dalny will soon be opened to neutrals. The Japanese com panies arc prepared to establish weekly service, to that port. . It la proposed shortly to float a fourth domestic war loan under the same con ditions -as the third was negotiated.

Vice-Admlral Bot tovsky's division of the Russian second Pacific squadron, consisting of the cruis ers Oleg, Izumrud, Dnelpcr .and Rlpn, and . the torpedo-boat destroyers Grozny, Groxnskl and Realty, which has been de layed in Suda Bay left this afternoon for Port Said. ' Attempts to Sink Sevastopol. TOKIO, Jan. S. In a report received here last night Rear Admiral Kataoka reviews the attempts of the Russians to destroy the battleship Sevastopol and the coast defense vessel Otvashni, their sink ing of the vesfels for the purpose of blocking the entrance to the harbor aud the dash for freedom of the torpedo-boat destroyers Skory, Stratni, Vlastni and Serdlty, which reached Chefoo, and tho Smyrll and Bolkl, which reached Tslngtau. The report Pays that the Japanese protected cruiser Akitsuahlma and a flo tilla of torpedo-boat destroyers followed the four first-named Russian vessels to ward Chefoo and that tho protected cruiser Chlyoda and a number of torpedo boat destroyers followed the Smyrll and the Bolkl to Tsingtau. In both ports, the report says, the Russian vessels were compelled to disarm. The report in con elusion says: "I beg to report that our brilliant strategical movement in this direction was successfully completed." Religious Services for Prisoners.

Religious services which were held in the. morning at lp o'clock, and the assemblage of pris oners was addressed by a Russian priest In full canonical dress. After the services there was music and danc-. ing on the open ground in front of tho station. The 8-year-old daughter of a Rus sian officer was among the prisoners. Fifty per cent of the officers are going to Japan. No Warships at Madagascar. SPECIAL. CABLE. PARIS. Jan. 3. It has been learned from unimpeachable authority that up to 7 o'clock Sunday evcnlrjr no Russian war ships entered the Madagascar port of Diego Suarer. which Is tho only one on the island offering accommodation for war votaels. "The opinion prevails Here that Madagascar will not be made -the point of concentration of the Russian ships and that if any of them enter the harbor it will be only to effect repairs. There are some who believe that Rus sia's frequent declarations that the Baltic squadron would assemble off Madagascar were made in order to mislead the Jap anese. New Vessels for Yokohama Route. VICTORIA. B. C. Jan. S. The steamer Kcemun. which arrived today from Liv erpool 1a Japan, brought news that the Toyo Ktscn Kalsha has decided to build MaJor-GeBcral Fock, One of the Pris oners f War. twtf 12.tW-ton liners for the San Fran cisco and Yokohama route.
