WOUNDED SUFFER GREATLY

NUMBERS FROM RUSSIAN
RIGHT FLANK.

Mukden, Feb. Constant streams
OF wounded men are arriving here
from the right flank, including LieuA
tenant General Mistchenko, who is in
excellent spirits and is receiving Wis
itors. According. to the official army
organ the wounded number $500 The
cold is intense and the condition OF the
wounded causes the greatest anxiety
because the exposure of their wounds
to the frost induces gangrene. Pre-
yentiye precautions have been taken.
but the wounded are suffering the
greatest pain.
The Japanese are taking good care
to see that the Russian rank and file
are not left uninformed regarding the
disturbances in Russia They are
carrying on a regular campaign to
spread sedition and discouragement
among the troops. Letters are daily
thrown within the Russian lines de-
claring that all Russia is afiame with
riot and revolt, arguing that the SOL
diers are shedding their blood in vain
and calling on them to surrender or
desert. The soldiers eagerly read and
discuss these communications, espe-
cially accounts of the events at ST.
Petersburg Jan. %. The sincere hope
is expressed on all sides that the Rus
sian nation will forego internal diff
ferences and not play into the hands
of the Japanese.
