Harbor Choked with Wrecks.

The fort where the negotiations for the surrender of Port Arthur were held is called the Big Eagle Nest and it is near Itihlung mountain. According to the reports of the negotiations received in Chefon, Gen. Stoessel’s proposal that the Russian sick and wounded should remain under Russian medical supervision and that the Japanese transfer the non-com-batants was acceptable to Gen. Nogi, but the Russian proposal that the Russians should march out under arms caused some controversy.
