Liaoyang (By Cablc).-General Sta
kelberg and his Siberian Corps of 25,-
900 men are reported by General Ku-
ropatkin to have extricated thcms
from the perilous position in which
they were Saturday. and to have suc-
cessfully crossed the Taitse River and
joined in the general retreat.
General Kuroki, however, is reported
by Marshal Oyama TO be executing a
turning movement encompassing 4
large force of the retreating Russians.
Stakelberg's escape, it is said at St.
Petersburg, also enabled General Or
lofts demoralized force to get to-
gether in safe retreat. Unless the
Gar forgives Stakelberg he will have
to stand court-martial for disobeying
Kuropatkin's order Friday to join in
the general retreat.
Field Marshal Oyama reports that,
after severe engagements Saturday
night and Sunday morning, the Japan
csc finally occupied Liaoyang The
reports Friday and Saturday that the
Japanese had taken this Russian posi-
tion were premature, and the Japan
ese official reports show that the
Cars forces did not give il up with
out desperate struggle
According to General Kuropatkin's
report Of Saturday evening, the great
er part of his army. including Stakel-
berg's corps. is moving in the direc-
ton OF Mukden. The troops left at
Iiaoyang to cover the retreat, crossed
the river Saturday and occupied the
right bank. Kuropatkin last night had
reached Tiehling north OF Yentai and
eighteen miles south OF Mukden. He
has asked the Gar to despatch the
Sixth Army Corps to the front.
General Orloff's detachment. which
was guarding the Russian left flank at
Yentai, suffered enormous losses, one
regiment losing 1900 men. In the bat
tie last Thursday before Liaoyang
1900 Russians fell.

VICTORY OF JAPS AT LIAOYANG
kurOpatkin in Full Retreat and His First Siberian
Army Gut 0ff...25,OOO Russians in DAN
ger of Capture.

Liaoyang (By Cable).-The seven
days gigantic conflict around Lao
yang between General Kuropatkin's
Manchurian armies and the Mikado's
three armies under Marshal Oyama,
in which the combined fighting
strength was nearly half a million men
and several thousand guns, has cul-
minated in a decisive victory for the
japanese.
General Kuropatkin is in full re-
treat northward, after sustaining enor-
nous losses, including more than 35,-
600 men killed and wounded, the First
Siberian Army, numbering $4,000 men,
commanded by General Stakelberg,
surrounded and cut off, and his strong
ly fortified position with valuable
stores and guns abandoned Before
evacuating Liaoyang the Russians
blew up the magazines and set FIRE
to the buildings containing the army
stores and provisions Later the Jap
anese entered the city.
The Russian armies are now about
20 miles north of Liaoyang, but it
is doubtful whether Kuropatkin will
make another stand until reinforced
He will probably continue on to Muk-
den.
General Kuropatkin blames the dis
aster to the First Siberian Corps un-
der General Stakelberg for failing to
obey his orders and cross the Taitse
River when the commander-in in-chiei
decided the whole army should retire
TO the northern side.
The Japanese losses in the battles
about Liaoyang are estimated at 3o,-
900 men killed and wounded.
The retreat Of Kuropatkin will be
disheartening to the Port Arthur gar
rison, which can no longer hope for
relief from his forces. Meanwhile the
Japanese continue their attacks upon
the fortress and number OF the Rus
sian outer forts are now in their pos
session.
