JAPS PLAYING HAVOC
WITH RUSSIAN TROOPS
Smashed Through General KurOpatkins Lines,
Captured Thirteen Siege Guns and Caused
the Cars Soldiers to Retreat
DESPERATE BATTLE AROUND MUKDEN

For 10 days the Japanese and Rus
sian armies in Manchuria have been
engaged in a mighty conflict, the issue
of which has not yet been reached.
Although the most OF the news from
the scene Of the battle comes through
Russian sources, and consequently may
be supposed to present the facts in as
favorable a light as possible for the
Russian arms. Il is evident that the
japanese made some gains yesterday.
st. Petersburg has an unofficial report
that General Kuropatkin's centre has
been broken and that 13 siege guns
have fallen into the hands of the Japa-
nese. These guns, which are of six and
eight-inch caliber, were given perma-
nent emplacements on the line Of the
railroad north Of Shakhe station, the
fact evidencing the confidence Of the
Russians that the Japanese could not
penetrate thither.
In st. Petersburg It is generally be-
lieved that General Kuropatkin was
yesterday fighting a rear guard action
10 cover his retreat, and that last night
witnessed a large withdrawal of troops
toward Tie Pass. All OF the commander
in-chief's ability, II is considered, will
be required to extricate his army from
its present predicament.
The issue, Il is expected. will be de-
cided today. and a great deal mques-
tionably depends upon the comparative
ability Of the opposing armies to re-
sist the effects of hunger and fatigue,
the limit of human endurance having
evidently been nearly reached on both
sides Beyond the statement that the
casualties exceed those Of the battle
of Lao Yang, there is little known as
to the number killed or wounded.

Struggle Now In Progress Likely to

Mukden, March S-Fighting Of the
flercest nature, which is likely to de-
eide the fate OF the battle, which has
been in progress for 10 days, began yes
ierday and has continued uninterrupt-
IDLY up to the present time on a front
IA miles long west of the railroad and
on line with the Shalkhe river. The
Japanese also have made a desperate
attack on Bentsiaputze, and reports
are arriving here that fighting was re-
newed on the extreme left of the Rus
sian army. Both sides are fighting with
desperation to the westward. though
the troops are well nigh exhausted.
The issue of the battle may depend
largely on the relative physical condi-
ton of the rank and file In the main
features ne combat is very much like
that at Lao Yang. and II the Russians
should be able to crush the thanking

The losses in the 10 days of battle on
both sides are already greater than
we're the casualties in the battle of
Lao Yang and are likely to increase
as the days pass before the issue is
fully decided.
The Japanese made a succession OF
desperate attacks on General Tser-
pitsky's division on the west front
south of Mukden. repeating the as
sault at intervals Of two hours, with
constant reinforcements. About $4,000
Japanese, with 200 pieces of artillery,
participated. All the attacks were re-
pulsed. there being enormous losses on
both sides. One extremely important

st. Petersburg. March S.-That the
battle of Mukden will go down in his

Russian defeats is the almost universal
belief in pessimistic St. Petersburg,

bic Passage Adapted to Him.
Washington. March 4.-When Presl-
dent Roosevelt was inaugurated on
Saturday his lips touched a passage
In the Bible peculiarly In keeping with
his character as a man of action. The
passage IS found in the Epistle of St
James, first chapter 22d. 23d and Gath
verses:
"22-But be ye doors OF the word
and not hearers only, deceiving your
own selves.
"23-For II any be a hearer of the
word, and not a doer. he is like unto
a man beholdiag his natural face IN
a glass
"24-For he beholdeth himself. and
goeth his way, and straightway for
gettoth what manner Of man he was.
Presidents have usually kissed pas
sages in tho Bible near the centre oI
the volume. 50 that the book might
remain open well during the Inaugural
tion ceremony. The verses kissed by
President Roosevelt occur within 8
few pages of the end. AS on previous
inaugurations. however, the Bible wa
opened at random, and It was purel,
through chance that the quoted pas
sages received the kiss that sealed tn,

According to reports, all the concen-
trated attacks Of the Japanese to the
westward failed, and the effort OF Cen
erals Nogi and Oku to push the encir-
cling movement north and eastward
across General Kuropatkin's line of
communication was blocked. Reports,
however, are conflicting. One cores

may be between Cossacks and a flying

Both sides are terribly exhausted by
their three days Of continuous fighting,
and all the correspondents at the front
intimate that the issue must be def

General Kuropatlkin's critics among
military men are increasing in number,

disastrous or otherwise, they declare,
