LOTS OF MONEY SPENT BY RUSSIAN OFFICERS 4" WHILE IN NAGASAKI. Soldiers Have Received No Pay For Months--Stoessel And His Family And Officers Sail At Night. inecial to the Whig. Nagasaki, Jan. 1%-Gen. Stoessel, his wife and daughter, two admirals, two generals 245 other officers, and more than 300 civilians from Port Ape thur, sailed about eight o'clock, last evening. for Marseilles, on the steam- er Australian. The departure of the steamer was deferred until it was dark, in ordér to prevent the Rus sians from seeing the defences of the harbor. During their brief stay here the officers who had given their paroles, bought goods to the value of more than $12,000 in gold. They had an abundance of money, but the sul diers have not received their pay for wany months. Gen. Fock stays here a prisoner: Are Chivalrous Victors. London, Jan. 18.-The Nagasaki correspondent of the Express sends the report of an interview held with tien, Stoessel in which the general pais a tribute to the Japanese. They were extremely chivalrous victors, he said, and Gen. Nogi was the most chivalrous of them all. In discussing the siege Gen. Stoessel said : "We had great hopes until October that the Baltic feet would arrive. Our final urgent requests for help were never answered. It was merely a coipei- dence that the capitulation occurred on the Western New Year's day. The loss of 203 Metre and Erhulngshan, combined with the deadly marksman- ship of those ible ¢leven-inch guns, had a depressing effect. Gen. Rond racthenko's death, and the fearful in- crease of scurvy fixed the ddétg of capitulation beyond the possibility of prolongation. The final war council was Unanimous in favor of surrender. It was quite untrue that 1 dissented." The. eorrespondent adds that the jun- ior officers bitterly denounce the gov: ernment for incapacity, amd for its 3 in ing. upon the war. "A Big Capture.

There are reports of an engagement ou January 6th, near Wang Tszelig, in which the Rus sians lost 100 officers and men, and two guns Large Movement Unlikely. St. Petersburg, Jan. 15.-While the daring cavalry raid on the line of Japanese communications was wel comed as a happy augury of the operations of the New Year, the gene ral stafi does not give encouragement to the idea that it is the precursor of a serious movement. Will Go To Far East. London, Jan. 18.-The Paris corres pondent of the Times claims to have tegitworthy information that the Ral tic fleet immediately will continue its vovage to the far east. He says that Russia has been for some time aware that the presence of the fleet at Mada gascar has been a source of keen anxiety to France. but it is siated that there has been no infraction of French neutrality, for which reason the French authorities could not cur tail the fleet's stay.

Chicago, Jan, 18--Influe mza is more prevalent and mote fatal in Chicago this winter than at any time since the epidemic year of 1891, according to the weekly bulletin' of the health de partment. Twenty more deaths from this cause were réported during the weck. Investigatigne by Dr. Robert B. Preble, a medical inspector for- the de partment, are held to show "there can he no question that influenza, or la grippe is the most fmportant factor of the increase of piewmonia and, in con- sequence, of heart disease.' Statistics are quoted as proof that the deaths from heart disease and from pneumo- nia have incromsed at almost exgetly the same ratio Since 1843. The fact that the germ which causes pnemmonia also irritates the membranes covering the valves of the heart is commented on. FIFTY-NINE PERISH. Rockslide Caused Great Wave In Lake.
