A dispatch from Tokio quotes military opinion as belieriug the entire garriaon trill bo allowed to march out under arms ami may be seat to Russia oa parole. Late dispatches have shown that the gallant defease of BtoeascI and hia men has nowhere been given a liner appreciation than iu the laud of hia foes, and it la more than likely that Japan will embrace the opportunity to show her magnanimity and admiration of the gallantry of Port Arthur's defenders. by allowing them ail the honors which war permits a victorious army to bestow upon the vanquished. The siege and the defense of Russia's stronghold in the Far East have been marked by bravery, gallantry nnd deswarperation unequalled in modern fare, and hardly excelled, ia military history. The story of the operations around Port Arthur is one of repeated lighting, both by land and sea, of the most desperate and thrilling character. Isolated instances of heroism that wsuld have set the world ringing have marked the fighting. By ara there were dachas of superb recklessness, and big mine ships have ploughed through fields with heroic disregard to give battle or la wild efforts to escape.
