RUSSIANS IN TIGHT PLACE
Reported That $4,000 Are Surrounded By
The Japanese.
TIE LOSSES At LIAOYANG $4,000.
Reports Of the Evacuation Of Liaoyaug-
Wretehed Condition Of the Russian Soldiers
After Their Long Flight From Llaoyang
Through Mud and Mire- Thousands Of Them
SheIterIess 10 the Terrific Rainstorms.

While reports received at St. Peters
burg state that the Japanese forces
abandoned the attempt TO head off
General Kuropatkin's army, which ar
rived safely at Mukden, the move
ments of the three armies of the Mi
kado are again veiled in mystery. A
German correspondent at Mukden re-
ports the Russian evacuation of that
place progressing.
The London Express says Kuropat-
kin's army is divided into FIVE col
umns. The first has reached Tie
Pass, 30 miles north of Mukden; the
second is between Mukden and the
pass; the third is at Mukden. the
fourth is holding Kuroki in check by
hard fighting, and the fifth, number
ing 10000 men, is nearly surrounded
by the japanese.
The Russian troops. after their long
marches through mud and mire, are
in a deplorable condition. The suf-
fering of the men along the line OF
retreat were terrible. Thousands of
them have no tents or any kind OF
shelter.
The Russians in their fight left
the task of burying the thousands OF
dead to the Japanese. lncessant rains
have prevented the cremation OF the
corpses.
A correspondent with the Russian
Army in the retreat from Liaoyang
says the combined losses in the bat
ties there were 5c 900 men. When the
Russians left the town the streets
were strewn with corpses. The Rus
SLAMS admit their positions there were
too extended for their army to hold
During FIVE days of the fighting
around Liaoyang $4,000 wounded Rus
slams were treated in Red Cross am
balances.
The Russian press and public, par
ticularly at St. Petersburg, do not
conceal their disappointment and dis
comhture over the retreat from Lao
yang and the general conditions at
the front. Russian papers demand re-
organization OF the army, and inti-
mate that Viceroy Alexieff is inter-
fering too much. One ST. Petersburg
newspaper says that what is needed
is some of the do-or-die spirit OF the
Japanese"

Gen. kuropatkin's Army Divided.

London (By Cable).-The Daily Ex-
press claims to have trustworthy in
formation that the Russian army is
divided into five columns. The first
has reached Tie Pass. 40 miles north
OF Mukden, and is preparing to defend
that place against the japanese. The
second is midway between Mukden
and Tie Pass.
The third is at Mukden. The
fourth, consisting Of 10000 men, un-
der General Meyendorff, is holding
General Kuroki in check by hard
fighting IL miles south OF Mukden.
The fifth, OF about $4,000 men, is
further south, exhausted by incessant
fighting, and is surrounded on three
sides by the Japanese, its position be-
ing one of extreme danger, from which
it can hardly hope to escape.
Everything now depends" says the
paper, "on Meyendorff's ability to
hold Kuroki in check, which so far has
been successfully done"
