Japs Not Pressing Russians.

Jdpo lNOA TlNoSiHH 'hNSS~'
Gunshu Pass. March 2l.-The last
two days have been utterly without in
cldent except for the removal Of the
censor to Kudzihu Pass. The Russian
rear guard Is retreating slowly and
engaging in occasional sklrmishes. IT
has now reached a position q miles
north of Tie Pass. The japanese are
slowly advancing. without pressing the
Russians. In the course of the retreat
the Russians are destroying bridges,
the railway roadbed and highways and
carrying of stores and demoishing
buildings and everything not portable.
Reports OF a wide turning movement
nv the japanese are no longer received.
There is increasing activity in secur-
ing reliable information beyond the
limits within which scouting parties
are active. on account Of the detection
Of many Chinese to the Japanese side.
Many natives who have been employed
as servants by Russian officers have
run away. and other consequences Of
the evacuation of Mukden are notice
able in the attitude of the Chinese.
The troops parted in sadness with
General Kuropatkin, whose labors in
shaping the army are recognized and
who was ever attentive to the wants OF
the soldiers in the matter OF food,
clothing and shelter. Regardless OF the
fact that he had been commander-in-
chief. General Kuropatkln offered to
remain here as a subordinate OF GEN
eral Linevltch and as commander OF q

RUSSIANS PRESSING NoRrHWARD
Retreat Is Uneventful, Unmarked BY
Serious Fiuhtinq.

Serious Fighting.
ST. Petersburg. March 2l.-The latest
dispatches from Manchuria indicate
that the retreat OF the Russian army IS
being conducted uneventfully. The
last few days were unmarked by any
lighting Of a serious nature. Both the
Russians and the japanese at this stage
are probably considering that march
ing is more important than fighting.
The Russians. however are neglectins
no precautions to impede pursuit and
hamper the construction of permanent
japanese lines of supply.
NJ Tuluzakoff, an Associated Press
correspondent who had been accompa-
nying General Rennenkampff corps
Of the Eastern army, and whose dis
patches suddenly ceased with the be-
ginning OF the retreat, has arrived at
Gunshu Pass, having been wounded In
the early stage Of the retirement and
lncapacitated from conducting his
work.
According to an Associated Press dis
patch from Gunshu Pass the appoint
ment of General Lineyitch has made a
good impression with the army, the
new commander enjoying the affection
and confidence of the troops almost in
the same measure as General Kuropat-
kin. Both are fighters and not carpet
knights.
