HUNDREDS OF WOUNDED
 WERE LEFT AT MUkDEN.

and several nunQIeu JdpdHtSC HCiC ASAe at Mukden hospitals, together with a complete Russian medical staff. which was entrusted to the care of the chival- arous Japanese. The remainder were sent northward, and railroad train re- mained behind almost the rear guard, and brought off train load of those found- ed in the retreat. many of whom reached Tie Pass without their injuries being ban daged.
 o'clock Friday morning. the retreat was dreary and disagreeable to an extreme. Al dust hurricans blowing directly south ward filled the eyes and faces of the troops, but at the same time tended to blind the enemy and delay pursuit from the south.
 The retreating columns were bombarded on both Hanks by batteries which 1t was impossible to silence, the shells reaching the Mandarin road from the east with especial frequency from the villages of Tawan and Pu. Under these circum- stances the retreat was conducted with astonishing precision, which was largely due to the personal efforts of General Europa tkin. who with haggard face and uniform yellow with dust, was everywhere when needed.
 The troops composing the rear guard fought with extraordinary bravery under the eyes of the commander-in-chief. and the morale of the entire army under these circumstances was excellent The cause of the Mukden defeat is attributed to many reasons, one of the most import ant of which Is insufficient information concerning the Japanese. and their strength, which was far in excess of Rus sian calculations.

rTzIE PASS. March 11.-G ?. m)-
 For many versts all the ap-
 breaches to Tie Pass are cov- cred with troops. artillery and baggage transports, pressing northward, and twenty-five miles away the strong rear guard of troops which Is personally com manded by General Kuropatkin is re- tiring slowly, doggedly disputing with the pursuing enemy every foot of ground ir order to cover the retreat of the re- mainder of the army.
 The total loss on both sides in this de- feat, which is the most bitter yet e.s- perienced by the Russian army, by moderate computation, is not less than 2oO,00O men,
 The Russians, in addition sacrificed enormous quantities of munitions and stonss. the greater part of which were set on fire before leaving Mukden
 It is impossible to say whether t.ie Russians will be able to put fight and hold this position, or whetherfit will be necessary to continue the r.ereat to Har- bin, but the rank andffi whose mili- tary qualities never. stIne so brightly as AD. retreat aIu udlefttf dlS Adl rum DSAa6 parfc stricken, and under capable leader ship, and given a brief time to strength en positions, may be able to check their pursuing enemy at this point.
 ORDER ITO RETREAT
 GIVEN ON THURSDAY.
 The order to abandon Mukden and re- treat to khe Tie Pass position was given at g o'clock on the evening of March g. At dawn of that day the Russians held q line on the Hun river from a point ten miles eaist of Fushun to Madypu, the west frfont extending to point six miles north df Mukden station, the continuous line oil battle generally paralleling the railway four or five miles distant. A ter rible Siust storm ragged and the tension had &eached It's extreme limit. It was real$zed if any point of the Russian line gav3e way all would be lost
 The position in the most extreme danger aApeared to be north of Mukden station Where 1t seemed for a time the Japanese Knight break through and entirely cut the lines of retreat General Kuropatkin con- centrated heavy columns there, took com mand himself and succeeded during Thursday morning in forcing the Japa- nese back from the railroad and also in driving out bodies of Japanese east Of the railroad.

LAPS BREAK THROUGH
 THE RUSSIAN GUARDS.

The maneuvers appeared to point 10 success when suddenly, and unexpected ly news arrived that the Japanese had broken through between the slender f1rst and Fourth army corps, taking advantage of the hurricane that was blowing clouds of dust into the faces of the Russians and to deliver an attack which the Rus sians were not prepared to meet. It was impossible to support the retiring corps, as the reserves to the last man had been sent to the line of battle at other points. and as the danger of the communications being severed by this attack from the east was imminent, retreat being determined upon and immediately begun.
 The four principal roads leading north- ward toward Tie Pass were completely oc- cupied by a continuous file of artillery and transport, and the retreating army blackened the country between. Before beginning the retreat, all the depots, stores and military buildings. and every thing that would be of service to the Japanese, was set on fire. large amount of baggage and many guns were abandoned. All rolling stock belonging to the main railroad was brought away. and not single car or locomotive was left at Mukden, though some cars belonging to the military roads behind the Shakhe river positions were abandoned

The Gar Frustrated by
Extent Of the Defeat.
St. Petersburg ParaIyzed By
Annihi|ation Of the Fleet.
Most Bitter Of All Is the Claim Of Lille
Damage to Japs' Ships.

st. Petersburg, May 30.-1.55 A. NJ
After waiting vainly all day and even
ing for direct news from the scattered
remnants of Vice Admiral Rojestven-
sky's destroyed and beaten fleet, the
Russian admiralty at midnight no
longer attempted to hold out against
the overwhelming evidence pouring i'm
from all directions that the feet on
which all their hopes were conferred
had suffered a greater disaster than
the combined French and Spanish
fleets at Trafalgar.
More bitter even than defeat is the
Japanese claim of the virtual annihi-
lation Of the Russian fleet with prac-
tically no loss on their side and many
officers cling doggedly to the belief that
Vice Admiral Togo must have suf-
fered heavily.
With every ship of Rear Admiral
Nebogatoff's reinforcing division either
sent to the bottom or forced to strike
its flag and only six of Rojestvensl<y's
original 16 fighting ships absent from
the list of the vessels sunk or captured
and with the Japanese pursuit still
continuing. no naval authority has the
temerity to dream that Russia can
again attempt to wrest the mastery of
the sea from Japan In the present war.
The captured warships alone will fur
nish Japan with ready-made REIN
fOrcements. which will be more than
a match for the fourth Pacific squad
ron now about to sail from CrOnstadt.

London. May 3O.-Toso's Victory has

Naval experts mostly hold to thu
opinion that the greatest damage was
dore by the Japanese torpedo boat de-
stroyers.
The surrender of several of the Rus

complete moralization Of ROjestven-

further captures will be made before
the remnant of the ships reach Vladi-

By the Severity Of Blow
Dealt Russian Allies.
Sees That Gear Has Played Last
Card--Must Ask Peace.
But Russian Ohstaacy May Cling 10 Hope
Of Victory on Land.

Paris, May 29-The magnitude OF
the Russian naval disaster has fairly
stunned French public opinion. which
had hoped that late advices would
show that Japan had also suffered
some share of the losses. However,
dispatches showing that the Japanese
fleet escaped practically unscathed
from the encounter dispelled the hope
entertained that Vice Admiral ROjest-
vensky by sacrificing a portion of his
fleet mad succeeded in Gripping Vice
Admiral Togo's feet to such an extent
that the Japanese would be placed in
position of inferiOrity. Therefore.
the disaster is generally discussed by
the officials. the public and the press
in tone of depression. the, prevailing
view being that Russia will now be
compelled to seek some means of ter
mnating the war.
The Bourse first gave evidence of
strong public sentiment by the buoy
ancy If the market. The leading jour-
nails including the semi-Official Temps
urge peace declaring that Russia had
played her last card. The officials.
however took conservative view.
maintaining it was too early to fore
see the effect until Russia's side had
been heard and fuller details were
available.
Some quarters were disposed to coll
slider the presence of Secretary Hay
as oppOrtune. but those best posted
sail that the Secretary's health ana the
regime which he is compelled to follow
by order Of his physicians would pre-
clude the possibility of his taking an
active hand even IL a peace movement
developed. Moreover. France is on the
eve of a national demonstration of well
come to King Alfonso. who Will arrive
here. Tuesday. and this absOrbs French
official attention owing to the lmpor-
lance attaching to the candor-French-
SPANISH entente over Morocco.
It was stated in diplomatic quarters.
tonight. that while the result OF the
taftle would contribute tc eventfn'
peace, it did not give any Immediate
nrOspect of the opening of negotiations
10 that end. 1t was pointed out that
tho obstinacy of the character of the
Russians would probably impel them to
turn their hopes towards Lieut.. Gen.
inev,tch and to await the result of an
other land battle. 1t was hoped In this
connection that the land situation
would not be likely to permit Field
Marshal Oyama to strike another de-
cisive blow within two weeks, thus
nroloneing Russia's hope on land and
deferring her willingness to ask for
peace.
