War Office Admits Crushing Defeat
..-. of kuropatkin.
St. Petersburg, March ., $50 p. M
A veil is drawn over the progress of
General Kuropatkin's heroic effort to
extricate his beaten army, but the
general staff insists that. while he has
been defeated, yet there has been no
disaster. The peril of the whole army,
especially of the rear guard. is adj
mitted, and Mukden may have been
evacuated during last night, although
nothing definite has been received on
this point. Yesterday General Bilder-
iing's army. which held the center. fell
back upon the Hun river. clinging all
day desperately to MadyapU at the
apex southwest of the city. One of
General Linevich's corps was hur-
riedly Withdrawn during Wednesday
night and dispatched to the support
of General kaulbaTs' hard pressed
forces, who were lighting off General
Nogi'S thanking legions west and north
west of the city. At the same time
the remainder of General Linevichs
army fell bat to the north bank of the
Hun river where it checked tempo
rarily the pursuing column of General
Kuroki. who hemmed him in west,
south and east.
Streaming Northward.
All day yesterday and last night
wounded. munitions, baggage and
stores streamed nOrthward. The rail-
road and the Mandarin road were al
most blocked at the last moment, not
withstanding the fact that an i'm
mense amount of stores, etc, were re-
moved last week.

The Toxic report that the railroad
Is actually cut rs not confirmed here,
declaring that communication with

Fanatical Desperation
The losses will exceed those of any
battle of the war. The fanaticism dis
played by the Japanese is shown in
an instance mentioned by a Russian
correspondent. who describes how a
captured Japanese broke away from
his captors and threw himself head
foremost. into a Chinese well.
While the defeat of Kuropatkin has
revived the talk of peace. it is too
early yet to measure its full effect.
If Kuropatkin succeeds in drawing off
his army, no matter how badly shat
