6 THE RATKTfiTl ENTEUPIUSE. Thursday, fTauuary 5, 1905. NO SPIRIT OF BOASTING. Minister Takahira Modestly Com ments on Victory A Great Object Obtained. (Special Dispatch to the Haltiinore Sun.) Washington, Jan. 2. If there was any modest celebration of the great Japanese victory in the fall of Port Arthur it was at the Japanese Le gation in this city today. Minister- Takahira received the news early in the morning and then went about his usual New-Year's cer emonies. At night he said: "The fall of Port Arthur was, of course, expected. It was a part of the general military plan of the Jap anese Government. The result is, of course, a source of great gratifica tion to all the Japanese representa tives in America, especially on such a holiday. What effect it will have on the general military program can not be predicted '.at.' this time, but I can say that it is not. a surprise to the Japanese in this country." "Do you think this is the begin ning of the end of the war?" was asked. "That question, of course, cannot be answered here. It remains with the Kussians to say. 1 may say, how ever, that one of the main objects of the Japanese operations was to cap ture Port Arthur. It was a long siege, the fortress was nobly defend ed, and one of the great victories to the credit of both the Japanese army and naval forces was the capitula tion of General Stocssel. Xo report of the Japanese Government can praise too highly the bravery, en durance and skill of the Russian sol diers at Port Arthur. ' ' C a n y o u f u r n i s h a n y e s t i rn a t e o f the losses to both sides during the siege of Port Arthur?" "I cannot." "What effect will this have on the general result of the war f "That, of course, cannot be pre dicted at this time. The Russian re sources are, of course."-without limit.'' Minister Takahira entertained the ..members.- of his legation at dinner. During the day the Hag of his coun try was displayed at the legation. "Only in honor of the beginning of the new year," said he. "Not in any spirit of boasting." ' Although he had no official news regarding ihe surrender of Port Arthur Count Cassini. the Russian Ambassador, had no hesitation in re iterating what he has repeatedly an nounced, that the loss of the city would not have the slightest effect on Russia's determination to fight to the ' end. "Russia will pursue the war to the end," he said, "and the temporary loss of Port Arthur after such a va liant defense can only spur Russia on to an ultimate victory," Lieut.-Gen. Adna R. Chaffee said : Recently there has been but little fighting in Manchuria, but I look for a resumption of fighting about next March, when the el imate is more favorable. "We know that the success of the siege gives the 'Japanese considera ble additional strength whatever the number of men is that has engaged in the attacks. "There are two great armies still confronting each other. Mukden and the main line of-, the Siberian Rail road is the natural objective of the Japanese army: the Jaranese army is the natural objective of the Rus sian army. : .. - "Each army must organize a mov ing army; that is, in addition to the two armies which face each other in about .(final strength, there must be another force organized to strike on the enemy's flank. The side which gets on the other's flank first will probably turn it out of its position. But it will be hard fighting through- out." ...... ; . "Then there is another naval bat tle tn hf fought. Tf the Japanese win this, their position will be furth er improved, for a time at least. If they lose their position will be des perate." "I have been very greatly interest ed in the siege and capture of Port Arthur," said former Secretary of the Navy 11. A. Herbert, "and con sider it one of the greatest exploits in military annals. "As to the lessons taught by the siege and its termination, I do not see that they have been of great value. I have observed a tendency to criticise the Japanese for having undertaken to canture the fortress by assault rather than by a protract ed siege, but with this I do not agree. The Japanese were bound to capture Port Arthur at any cost in order to destroy or capture the Russian fleet harbored there. The results of at tempts by the Jaranese to carry for tifications by direct assault differ in no respect from similar attempts made during our battles at home, where they failed almost without ex ception and where sapping was ulti mately necessary to accomplish the object."
