NO NEWS FROM KuRoPATKIN
Intense Anxiety Prevails Throughout
Russian Empire.

Intense Anxiety Prevails Throughout
Russian Empire.
ST Petersburg, Sept. There has
been no news from General Kuropat-
kin since Monday afternoon. This is
attributed 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 retreat
without serious risk of being clt off.
None the less intense anxiety is rclt
throughout the whole nation. and this
feeling is shared by the emperor. His
majesty is unwilling at such n juncture
TO absent himself from Peterhof and
has countermanded all proposed jour
neys. He will not go TO Warsaw or
Libau, and remains closeted for hours
with his military advisers.
1t is believed that the outcome OF
these deliberations will be an order to
mobilize several more army corps.
A Russian correspondent of the AS
sociated Press sent message from
Mukden Tuesday evening more than
"a hours after the dispatch of General
Kuropatkins last published message.
This correspondent gives no details
of the retreat. and the censor Is prob
ably not allowed to authorize the
transmission of this news until the
commander-in-chiefs sends his report
The correspondent points out in his
dispatch that the Russian forces are
followed step by step by the Japanese
and are greatly impeded by heavy
roads and floods. He adds:
at is impossible to say how long the
fighting will continue, as the initiative
Is in the hands of the Japanese"
The correspondent does not conceal
the fact that the Russians are under
going a severe ordeal. but he says that
the courage of the troops remains un-
diminished
st. Petersburg is full of the widest
rumors, some claiming that Kuropat-
kin's rear guard has been annihilated;
that Kuropat6in has been taken pris-
oner, and that Port Arthur has fallen.
These alarmist reports were circulated
on the bourse and at one time threat
ened to cause a panic.
Kuropatkin has three roads over
which he is marching towards MulI-
den, besides the double-tracked rail-
way. The latter is chiefly occupied in
the transportation of guns and Of
equipment, Of which there is a great
quantity. The soldiers are marching
In light order. and most OF the wound
ed have already been dispatched north
by rail.
General KuropatlJin, in a telegram TO
the general staff. filed at p. m, Sep
tember 5, north OF Yentai. says the
japanese on Sunday engaged his rear
guard south Of Yentai, the fight con
tinuing until Monday. The telegram de-
tails the precautions taken TO check
mate the Japanese flankers.
Kuropatkin estimates his losses up
to and including September 4, at 16.-
900. This Is considered to be q very
