That Japan Will Insist
Upon the Payment of
an Enormous Indemnity

PARIS, March 14.-Inquiry to-day
at three banks principally interested
in, the new Russian loan brought the
response that it had been decided to
postpone the issue. representative
of one OF the banks said the post
ponement was for such an indefinite
period that 1t was unlikely the issue
could occur for some time to come.
The postponement was attributed to
the uncertainties of the war situation.
The Temps says:
II was quite natural that the Paris bankers
should refuse TO sign a contract In view OF
the conditions in Manchuria and the ignorance
OF the hraneiers concerning the realities OF
the Russian Government.
The paper declares the postpone
ment will continue until Russia's in
tentlons become clear.
The Journal des Debats, In It's An
ancial article, says:

the evidence that Russia has reached the end

ly the proposed loan has not been alb
solutely refused. but only postponed"
This. however. is regarded here as be-
ing tantamount to a refusal. and is ex-
pected to speak louder to the Russian
war party even than kuropatkin's re-
verse at Mukden. 1t is the general
belief that by the death Of Germain,
the late Governor OF the Credit Lyon
nais, Russia lost her strongest f1nan-
cial friend in France. and that had
he been still alive no difficulty would
have been experienced. With the
American and English markets closed
to her it is thought that Russia can
only turn to Germany. which is not
likely to be much more responsive than
France, and the only alternative would
seem to be to make peace.

TIE PASS, March 14-As after the
battle Of Liaoyang, the advance of the
japanese army against the new posi-
tions Of the Russians at Tie Pass is
very slow. The leading columns are
eight or ten miles southwark and in
touch with the Russian van posts, but
the operations at present are not seri-
GUS Field Marshal Oyama shows
slight intention Of pressing his ad-
vantage in an immediate attack on
Tie Pass. 1t is possible, however, that
a wide turning movement of which
reports are current, Is in progress IN
such operations the japanese have the
immense advantage Of several bases
and lines Of supplies, TO which is now
added the Sinmintin road, while the
Russian army necessarily is dependent
on one base and one line Of cOmmuni-
cation and therefore may easily be
outhanked.
In the Grand army order is being
brought out of chaos with remarkable

born resistance an attack on Tie Pass.
PANIC NOT WIDESPREAD
II is unfair TO accuse the entire army
Cf this panic. General Linevitch
entered Tie Pass with his regiments in
rerfect order, with music playing and
the men singing, and scarcely a
slraggler was lost in the long, difficult
march. Other organizations made
equally praiseworthy retreats, espe-
cially the rear guards of all the armies,
who performed their difficult tasks
steadily and resolutely. There is much
10 be said, also, for the panic-stricken
condition Of the troops. They were
largely composed Of undisciplined men
and wagon drivers were mingled with
the soldiers, who for fifteen days were
under constant fire, crowded together
in a mass whence egress was i'm
possible.
il is one Of the odd facts of war
fare that the morale Of the beaten Rus
san army has been largely restored
while the japanese. though the VIC

have incurred such heavy losses that

ARE NOT GOOD MARKsMEN.
Neither Russian Nor Japanese Expert
With the Rifle.

With the Rifle.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Au-
thentic adv1ces received in Washing
ton by observers of the campaign in
Manchuria indicate that the small
arms fire of both armies is poor. The
artillery fire on both sides Is good,
but better with the Japanese than
with the Russians, although the lat
ter have the better ordnance. The
frequent hand-to-hand fighting, ne
cessitating the use of the bayonet. is
attributed to the inaccuracy of the
small arms fire and to the practice Of
the Japanese of attacking at night.
The famed bayonet facility Of the
British soldier had no chance in the
South African war because the Beers
were such deadly marksmen.
Army officers interested in the de-
velopment of craftsmanship, not only
in the United States regulars, but in
the militia and among the great body
of civilians who in time of war would
have to supply the bulwark OF the ma
tional defense. have taken pains to
ascertain something about the marks
manship of the Japanese and Russian
soldiers.
Artillery firing is much more of a
mathematical problem than small
arms firing. the range being deter
mined by the mechanical contrivance
while the rifle is solely dependent upon
the good eye and steady hand of the
individual soldier

ARTILLERY SHIPPED OUT.

Three trains contained the ammuni-
ton of the park of artillery which had
been dispatched the evening before in
$40 cars: another train carried warm
clothing; one was coal-laden; one was
loaded with Red Cross supplies; one
with engineers depot supplies; three
with commissariat freights and the re-
mainder with wounded The last train
out was the service train, with all the
employees of the railway, property and
station papers.
The skill. exertion and devotion of
/ this little band of civilians rendered
service the Importance of which can
not be overestimated for the future of
the Russian army. It saved thousands
of wounded soldiers, an immense
amount of ammunition and millions
of dollars worth of property and cash.

critical, and at s O'Clock in the evening,
the order to retire to Tie Pass wa;'
given.
Through the narrow bootleg passage
scarcely five miles wide, a densely'
packed mass of transports pressed
northward, coming under the fire of a
small squadron of Japanese cavalry
and four mountain guns, which earlier
in the battle had managed to dart
across the Russian line of communica-
tlon and conceal themselves in the
mountains to the eastward. The force
of General Tserpitzky began an orderly
retirement from the boot toe and dur

were trying to reach the railroad.

station presented remarkable scene.
Shortly after 9 o'clock came the order
to complete the evacuation of the
station and city, with directions that
movements of trains northward must
be completed by o'clock in the MORN
ing. The enormous task was COM
pleted in nine hours, including the
hasty embarkation of the wounded
who crowded the station and occupied
the hospitals. Many had already left in
the morning when the private trains of
Kurcpatkin, Kaulbars. Sakharoff, Bill
derling and Zabelin departed, but
thousand remained
AT ?.40 p. m. the first string of eight
trains was dispatched and call was
sent to Tie Pass for thirteen loccmo-
tives. The forwarding of these loco
motives without interrupting the
northward movement of trains was a
delicate piece of train dispatching, but
the overworked railroad staff accom-
plished it successfully. At a. m. the
second string was started northward

third string of sixteen departed All
