Statistics of Garrison's Loss Terms
of Capitulation Crum's Nomination
Is Confirmed Abeei's Conviction
and 8entence Affirmed Monthly
Crop Bulletin.
Japan has made no overtures for
peace, directly or Indirectly, through
the United Statjos or any other power;
-the contemplates no such action and,
now that Port Arthur has fallen, pro
poses to press the war In the north all
the more vigorously by reinforcing
the Jupanese armies at Llao Yang
with the greater pnrt of the troops
which have been besieging Port Ar
thur.
This, In brief, represents the views
of Kogoro Takahlra, the Japanese min
ister. Statistics of Garrison's Loss,
Some Interesting statistics concern
ing the defcnBO of Port Arthur, have
been received from Chefoo. Or
iginally the army numbered 35,000.
Eleven thousand hnve been killed ; 10,-
000 are wounded or sick, and 8,000 re
mained In the forts, of whom, how
ever, 2,000 were unable to fight.
During the siege 205 per cent of the
garrison were put out of action. This
remarkable fact was due to wounded"
men returning to the front Cases
have been recorded where men hav
Eone to hospitals four times, roturnliiG
convalescent to' the forts.
The number of officers killed was
proportionately greater than In any
battle known In history. This was
due to the frequent lethargic condi
tion of the men, who, without food and
without sleep, moved only when or
dered by their officers.
The Russians estlmnte that the tak
ing of the fortress has cost Japan
100,000,0f
A renoiiv- General Nogl s hend-
quarters ses the figures of the
surrendered bnrrlson, and intimates
that the force handed over to the Jap
anese at Port Arthur will be 32,005,
exclusive of 15,000 or 1G.000 sick and
wounded, making- a rough total of 48,
000. Reports received up to date are as
follows:
Eight generals, four admirals, 57
colonels and majors, 100 captains and
commanders, 531 ormy captains and
lieutenants, 200 naval lieutenants and
naval officials, 99 army officials, 109

Sca3onabln nulet rules distribution
at present. Consideration of past fa-
vorable results and preparations for
what Is confidently hoped to be a
prosperous year's trade engrosses
wholesalers and Jobbers.
Cold weather, however, makes for a
fair retail trade In winter goods, and
this, with necessary replenishment of
broken stocks, Induces a fair reassert

A cloud on the industrial activity in
New England Is, however, the stagna-J
tlon in the bituminous coal trade grow

section.
Telegraphic advices to Bradstreet's
report the view taken as to the com
ing year's trade optimistic, except at
the South, where lowered cotton
prices tend to depress dealers' views,
cloud the outlook and affect collec
tions.
The movement of staple prices has
been Irregular. Most of the cereals
are lower. Wheat displays a not

slightly weaker markbt. Corn feels

A BLACK HAND MURDER.
Contractor's Wife Strangled In
. Her Room at Hotel.
HUSBAND WAS AWAY FROM CITY
SA
Police Learned That Last Thursday
Two Men Visited Her, Since Which
Time She Was not 8een Alive Had
Received a Letter Demanding $200
on Penalty of Death.
Buffalo, Jan. 10. With a rope se-
Brely tied ar.ouiid her neck, the knot
ted ends cutfingdeeply Into the flesh,
Mrs. Joscphj'ne Desantl, wife of An
tonio Disantl, 4 contractor, was
found dead in her room on the third
Boor of the Terrace Park hotel at
Church street and the upper Terrace,
Bhortly after noon yesterday.
The police say the woman was a
victim of the "Black Hand" society,
and as a result the police drag net is,
now out for everyone whom the police
have suspected in the past of being
connected in any way with the organ
ization. Mrs. Desantl bad been threatened
by the Black .Hand, a demand being
made that she pay to the society $200
on penalty of death should the money
not be forthcoming.
Last Thursday night, the police
learned, two men visited her and it is
believed their visit was for the pur
pose of collecting the money. It Is
believed Mrs. Desantl refused to com
ply with their demands, and they then
tied her hands and feet and slipping
the noose of a clothes line about her
neck attempted to force her Into giv
ing up the money. She refused and
her death resulted.
Then the men searched the room.
They br.oke open a trunk, but wheth
er they secured any money the police
have been unable to learn.
Antonio Desantl, the husband, was
in Olean at the time the murder was
committed. He returned to Buffalo
Monday morning and falling to get In-.
to his wife's rooms, he called in the
police.
Chief of Detectives Taylor accom
panied him to the rooms and forced
open the door. 'The woman's body was
found on the floor of her sleeping
room. She was fully dressed, and
from the condition of her features It
was evident she had suffered terrible
agony before death relieved her suf
ferings. .
Mrs. Desantl was 24 years old. She
was married to Antonio Desantl about
five years ago and the couple have
since lived in various hotels and room
ing houses in the Italian ('(strict.
Desantl was a contractor ind s said
to be worth considerable ; lone.'. He
was well known to the Italian- not
only In Buffalo but In several of the
cities in this end of the state and
Pennsylvania. '
About three' months ago with his
wife he moved Into the Terrace Park
hotel. They were given a small suite
of rooms on the third floor facing the
Terrace. They were well liked by the
Italians and people who occupy adjoin
ing rooms say they had many visi
tors. They were thrifty and for several
years had been carefully saving their
money. With a substantial bank ac
count they had finally announced their
Intention of returning to Italy. They
had' made all arrangements to leave
Buffalo 6n the 20th of this nnnth.
About three weeks ago while the
Black Hand excitement was at Its
height In the Italian district, the Dos
antls were among those who received
demands for money.
They received a letter In which Mrs
Desantl was instructed to give to two
men $200 by a certain date. The let
ter said should she fall to pay the
money she would be put to death.
The Desantis did not becomo fright
ened over the letters. They laughed
at them and did not even notify the
police,, as many other Itallahs had
done up fi Hie receipt of similar let
ters
The police now believe the ftlno for
turning over the money expired last
week and the Black Hand agents bold
ly visited the woman and strangled
her upon her failure to give them the
money.
Desantl said that when he left for
Olean, about a week ago, his wife had
something more than $2,400 in Itl'f
trunk. It was this money, In whole
or part, that she Intended to use for
tbrMrlp to Italyr"A search of every
part of tho Desantis' rooms revealed
only n few dollars In change

A PATHETIC SPECTACLE.
Long Procession of Remnants fort,
Arthur Garrison. j '
Headquarters of the. Third Japaiu&'
Army at Port Jfflthur, via Yinkow and
Tien Tsin, Jan. 10. Five thousand
men of the Russian garrison at Port
Arthur were marched from Yahutsul
to Changllngtzu and thd other detach
ments followed soon after. Each de
tachment was accompanied by six
loaded transport carts.
The Russians during the night will
be taken on special trains or open
truckB to Dalny and there they will
Immediately embark for Japan.
The long procession of the remnants
of the gallant Russian garrison was a
pathetic spectacle. The first arrivals
at Changllngtzu were four droskles
drawn by sorry looking horses. They
contained the staff officers wo ad
refused to give their parole. All wore
their swords, as they were allowed to
do under the terms of capitulation
compact.
A few minutes later the first detach
ment arrived. The regimental officers
marched with their men, their heads
bowed and their faces seamed with
lines, showing the result of the mental
and physical strain they had under
gone, during the long defense.
As the Japanese soldiers crowded
about them with evident curiosity the
faces of the Russian officers were an
Interesting study. All of them ap
peared to feel their humiliating posi
tion keenly and though some seemed
to be resigned to their situation others
were resentful at being regarded with
curiosity.
The men looked to be well fed, but
their faces, like those of the officers,
indicated the awful physical strain
they hnd undergone. The officers
were clean and well clothSd but the
men wen clad In dirty looking sheep
skin coats and appeared to be resigned
and glad that the end had come.
The horses drawing the transport
carts were suffering with fatigue,
though the loads were small. They
were tied to the carts and led by of
derlies. In the procession were
many lean looking pet dogs belonging
to tho officers.
In many cases officers refused to
wear their swords, but had them car
ried behind them by orderlies. The
officers saluted the European and
American correspondents with the
Japanese army and appeared to be
both plensed and astonished at seeing
the Europeans and Americans there.
The prisoners were treated with the
greatest respect and kindness, though
they were regarded with much natural
curiosity. The soldiers were given
food, cigarettes and beer and the cor
respondent even saw Japanese sol
diers voluntarily carrying the effects
of the prisoners when they were over
come by fatigue. The railway has
been repaired and gauge changed al
most to the city of Port Arthur, into
which trains will enter In a few days.
The telephone and telegraph lines
have been completed to the city and
already Japanese engineers are sur
veying the destroyed forts on the
eastern fortified ridges.
GANG OF BOY BANDITS.
Two Have Confessed to Thefts at In
stance of a Junk Dealer.
BInghamton, Jan. 10. The police
have arrested Edward Ackley, aged
14, and Peter Burke, aged 17, charged
with being members of the gang of
boy bandits, who attempted to shoot
Lineman Richard Smith on Saturday
afternoon. The fourth member of
the gang has not been 'captured.
These boys with "Mickey" Forbes,
who was arrested Sunday, have con
fessed to a large number of thefts,
largely copper wire and other articles
that they could sell for Junk, which
they admit stealing during the past
two weeks.
They claim that they were encour
aged In the theft by John Martino, nn
Italian Junk dealer, who was arrest
ed and Is now in Jail. A large amount
of wire and other junk, which the
boys confessed stealing, was found In
Martlno's store when It was searched
yesterday afternoon. The boys point
ed out where It was hidden.
