ANOTHER UNCONFIRMED REPORT
(By United Pre##.)
London, Feb. 6.? It is reported here
that General Stoessel hus been found
iruilty of the premature and unwar
ranted ?urrt?nder of Port Arthur and
mat he has been sentence.) to dinth.
The trial of General Stoessol has oc
cupied several wosks before a military
tribunal. The evidence has been very
conflicting, and personal prejudices
have entered into it, on both sides:
Japanese geneials were anxious to tes
tify in his favor, but were not permitted
to appear. General Kuropatkin testi

properly prepared for the ?iege, and
Uie minister of war answered tbis by
producing Kuropatkin's rfport to the
effect that the fort was practically im
pregnable. The report of the sentence
h s not been confirmed.
