LONDON, May 21.-Advices from st.
Petersburg say that following on the
heels of the news of the disasters to
the Japanese fleet the general staff has
received official advices of the defeat
of the Japanese force which was
marching northward from Fengwang-
cheng for the purpose of executing a
flank movement on Mukden.
Details of the dispatch will not be
made public until It has been passed
by the war commission, but enough
has been communicated to make ii
clear that in order to save themselves
from destruction the Japanese were
compelled to retreat toward Feng-
wangcheng.
Since General Kuroki sent a column
northward to gain the road leading di-
rectly west from Mukdcn General Ku-
r0patkin has kept it under the closest
surveillance, awaiting the moment to
