Russians Remain Very Calm.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 7.--2:20 p.
m.~—’l‘he calmness with which the Rus-
sians accept the isolation of Whatvsi-
ways has been regarded as the Rus-
sian Gibraltar in” the Far East, is re-
markable. In military circles it had
been considered inevitable from the
first. No attempt is made to belittle
the energy shown by the enemy, but
from the strategic point of view- the
investment of the fortress is regard-
ed as relieving the military situation
on the mainland. which had been much
embarrassed by the necessity for main-
taining the seagirt stronghold at the
extremity of the Lino-tong peninsula.
Besides, the utmost confidence is ex-
pressed in the ability of the fortress
to withstand a siege. The whole of the
lower end of the peninsula from Klen
Chou (30 miles above Port Arthur)
south, is an entrenched camp, com-
manded by a chain of most formidable
fortifications, which surmount the
crest of every hill. Millions of roubles
and years of work have been develop.
ed to rendering the place impregnable
by land or sea. The railroad circling
within the camp wil pormtl of easy
transportation of the defending troops.
According to the Russian view the
Japanese have a hercuiean task before,
them in the event of their at‘temptlngt
the reduction of the fortress. l
Successive lines of defences must be
carried, and the Japanese operptlous
cannot begin at an advanced position,
Kin Chou. until their siege guns are
landed.
General Stocsscl. who will have so.
preme command of the defence of Port
Arthur, is considered to be able and
resourceful, and to have an lndomit~
able will. His orders of the day have
breathed a spirit of unyielding defi-
ance, One of them declared that the
last man must die in the defence of.
Port Arthur. The latest newapapcr
despatches from the beleaguered fort-
ress contained an account of a stirring
appeal made by General Stocssel to
his troops yesterday on the occasion
of the review in honor of the Empress
Name day, in which he announced that
he would never surrender.
In addition to the 10,000 sailors on
board the ships at Port Arthur and
the regular, fortress artillery, proba~
bly numbering 2,000 men, the defend-
ing force consists of a division of
riflemeu. and three batteries of field
artillery, a total of about 22,000 men.
In anticipation of the severance of
communication all the valuable public
documents had been removed to Muk-
den and the work of supplying the for-
tress with provisions and ammunition
had bee nprogresslng for-weeks. The
authorities apparently are satisfied
that practically no non-combatants re.
main there. The inbabitanats of Port
Dalny were sent away some time ago.
The newspapers accept the news
stolcally, adluring the peeplo not to
be discouraged, as the cutting off of
Port Arthur was a foregone conclu-
sion from the first.
The Novoe Vremya sayszl. .
, "The fortress and its defenders must
now shift for themselves until army
in sufficient strength can come down
from the north- and rescue them. In
the meantime the people must accus-
tom themselves to be without direct
news from Port Arthur,” ' ‘
