thusiasm AH
8t. Petersburg, Jan 8 It is official
ly announced that General Btoeessel
must ooms noma to stand a court
majtial for the surrender of Port : Ar
thur. v
This announcement has provoked
an outburst of protest from the press
of the oountry, who point out thai not
a single member of the royal family Is
at the front in the fai east Criticism
of this type has resulted in the sup
pression of the Buss.
The Nova Vremya states: "By all
mean , let us have a court-martial
and make it, if possible severe and
oruel. The judge will perhaps , deal
leniently with those who have given
blood and lives for their oountry. Per
haps, also, the court will determine'
why the fortress known to be Jtbreat
ened by blockade was not supplied
with nsoessary food and ammunition
to enable it to hold out." i

Over Russia;
the proposed oourt-martial of General
Stoessel Is indignantly received. 1 8to
t ssel Is looked upon as the hero of the
war and his gallant defense gives him
a dean bold on the hearts of - the . no .
pu! ace . The work of the Put Ar
thur garrison receives nothing but
praise. v : V':'
The faot is pointed out that Russia
has bad 11 months of hard but val
uable experienoe in the . art of war
under the new conditions Impos'd by
mcdsrn warfare and it Is unanimous
ly asserted that Russia cannot ' afford
to quit a losing fight. ' The autocracy
is held to blame for the fall of Pori
Arthur, and sot 8toessel and his band
of defenders. A speolnl from Mukdsn
ays that fighting is prooeeding along

have attacked.) the, Russian Una ia
several places,' but so far have . met
with' only repulses. ' "" ' ' "
