RETREAT CUT OFF.
Linevitch. Caught in Trap, Must Gu.
His Way Out Or

st. Petersburg. March PA dispatch
from Gen. Linevitch, dated March 81,
says: Yesterday japanese cavalry de-
:achments appeared in front Of our adj
vance posts. Behind the cavalry were
infantry who halted at the village of
MachantZy."
London. March 233-That the Russian
retreat toward Hardin has been blocked
is the official announcement made by
Linevitch. who in q message to st.
Petersburg announces the appearance
of Japanese cavalry and infantry in
front of the advance posts of the retir-
ing Russians.
This Japanese force is undoubtedly,
in the opinion of experts, the army of
which Kawamura is commander, and
which left Oyama the day before the
great battle of Mukden. At that time it
was reported kawamura would endeav-
or by forced marches to get in the rear
of the Russians and complete the en-
veloping movement which was intended
to compel the surrender of Kuropatkin.
The movements of this army have been
carefully concealed and its exact
strength is not known. 1t is believed to
be- formidable enough to accomplish the
mission on which it was sent.
Gen. Linevitch now faces greater
problem than was ever presented
\ kurOpatkin, because he is between two
forces of the enemy, and will have to
cut his way out or surrender. That he
can make any effectual resistance is
doubtful, as, according to latest reports,
he is short Of ammunition, guns and
supplies. besides having only the
dispirited remnants Of a struggling and
disorganized army to face the untiring
Japanese.
Toxic, March 22.-Revised figures of
the japanese losses at the battle of
Mullden place. the number at $4,000.
and revised estimates of the Russian
losses from the commencement of the
battle of Mukden and ending with the
fighting at Tie pass place the total at
$4,000 killed, wounded or captured.
London. March 23.-The correspond
ent at Toxic of the Daily Telegraph
says: can officer who has returned from
Moji describes the terrible fighting
which occurred at the various gates be-
fore the capture of Mukden. He says
that never in the history of warfare
were such formidable field defenses
faced by infantry attacks as the works
protecting Mukden. The ground be-
came covered with hillocks of corpses.
Three separate forces attacked the
western, southern and eastern gates.
The struggle was not decided for many
hours. Line after line of japanese in
fantry went, down. Finally, at IL
o'clock at night. the Russians broke and
fed in the direction of the northern
gate. They suffered enormous losses
outside. however, being caught on all
sides like rats in a trap. Altogether,
10000 prisoners we're captured at the
southern and 5000 at the western
gate"

q violent jerk rushed the line through

In vain he tried to check the mad
rush of the enraged shark. Diving some

Suddenly Lieut.. Huddeson, on duty at

to Minister Bowen Wednesday after

President Roosevelt will order retalia-

Secretary Taft is in complete sympathy
with the presidents attitude. and is pre-

The belief in diplomatic circles in
Washington is that Castro has deliber-
ately sold out to the German and British
bOndholders, that he has received an
enormous bride for validating the $685.

SEEDING IN PROGRESS
IN WESTERN CANADA.
Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
Of Settlers.

The splendid yields of wheat. oats
and barley produced by the farmers
OF Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means Of giving an: increased
interest throughout the United States.
As result the inquiries made of the
Agents Of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those Of the
same period last year. Railroad COM
,pauies are putting on increased. carry
ing capacity to meet the demand made
upon them for carrying passengers
and freight. Everything points to q
most prosperous year. There is room
for hundreds of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year.
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from tho
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number it
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
. letter written by Mr.. Geo. NJ. Girls

G-ever, Montana, written on the I'd
Of January, is as follows:
Il am located one and one half miles

laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are hne wheat. oats. barley and fax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co.

dairy country. This is the right time
to get foothold In the Canadian
West. as it was some years ago in the
United States. We are free from wind
