huropatkin Escapes with Only 10000
of His Army of 35O,OOO.

The remnant of the Russian army
in decimated sections succeeded in
battling a way to Tie Pass through a
relentless gauntlet of japanese artil-
lery. Kuropatkin, in person, led the
russian right flank in desperate effort
to hold at bay the armies of Nogi and
Oku. Meantime a portion of the re-
treating army got past the immediate
danger point. The retreat continued
under a hail of shrapnel and shells
from japanese artillery occupying po-
sitiOns parallel to the line of retreat.
Thousands of Russians toiled north
ward, mile after mile, their trail a
trail of death, as thousands were
moved down by the awful rain of
steel. The Russian vanguard reached
Tie Pass, but southwark, with undi-
minished fury, the rear guard battle
went on, the Japanese still madly
struggling to make the blow final.
The losses are estimated at 100000
to both armies. The Japanese have
taken thousands of prisoners, and

The Russian casualties are known to
be over 100000.
The Russians had in battle $40 bat
taliOns of infantry, 17S squadrons of
cavalry, and III batteries of artillery.
In other words, Gen. Kuropatkin's
army consisted of 30O,SO0 infantry,
26,7OO cavalry. and 1.36S guns. The
total number Of the Japanese forces is
not stated, but it is vaguely estimated
at 100000 men of all arms.
Forecasts as to the final issue differ.
Some prophesy the practical annihila-
ton of the Russians in a series OF
small battles in the mountains be-
tween Fushun and Telling. Others
think the Russians will be able to
make another stand at Telling, and
that consequently the coup de grace
may be postponed.
