says the concentration Of political and
economical interests in the Pacific
ocean has enormously magnified the
military importance of that side Of the
continent and the continued rapid
progress Of events suggests the expedi-
ency of an early enlargement of mill
tary facilities to meet the growing me-
cessities of the Pacific ocean. He rec
ommends that new post for a full
regiment of infantry be established in
the vicinity of Los Angeles, Cal, and
post for a full regiment Of cavalry
at suitable site in the Willamette
valley in Oregon. This last recon-
mendation is made with view to a

ON VERGE OF PANIC.
St. Petersburg Filled with Widest
Rumors of Russian Disasters.
NO LATE NEWS FROM KUROPATKIN.
1t Is Known That the Mad Race
NOrthward IL Greatly Impeded
by Japanese Attacks and the
Muddy Roads.

st. Petersburg, Sept. There has
been no news from Gen. Kuropatkin
since Monday afternoon. This Is at
tributed to the interruption of direct
communication with the commander
in-chief, owing to the transfer of the
telegraph office to Mukden, whittier
messages have to be sent by courier.
The utmost confidence prevails at
the war office that the Russian army
is slowly but surely effecting the re-
treat without serious risk of being
cut off. None the less, intense anxiety
is felt throughout the whole nation
and this feeling is shared by the EN-
peror His majesty is unwilling at
such juncture to absent himself from
Peterhof and has countermanded all
proposed journeys. He will not go to
Warsaw or Libau and remains closeted
for hours with his military advisers.
It is believed that the outcome of these
deliberations will be an order to
mobilize several more army corps.
A Russian correspondent sent mes
sage from Mukden Tuesday evening,
more than "a hours after the dispatch
of Gen. Kuropatkin's last published
message. This correspondent gives no
details of the retreat and the censor
is probably not allowed to authorize
the transmission Of this news until
the commander-in-chief sends his re-
port The correspondent points out in
his dispatch that the Russian forces
are followed step by step by the Japa-
nese and are greatly impeded by heavy
roads and foods. He adds: ut is i'm
possible to say how long the fighting
will continue, as the initiative is in
the hands of the Japanese" The cor
respondent does not conceal the fact
that the Russians are undergoing a
severe ordeal, but he says that the
courage of the troops remains undi-
unfinished.
st. Petersburg is full Of the widest
rumors, some claiming that Kuropat-
kins rear guard has been annihilated;
