epoch in the world's history.
loe siege of the famous Russian

a marvelous achievement , in
modern warfare, that has exalt

the honors of war and it is to
the credit of General Stoessel of
the Russian army to give np
the useless struggle rather than
to make further sacrifice of hu
man; life.- The people will look
