GREATEST DEFEAT OF PRESENT WAR Kutopatkins Short Message is
 the Only News ST, PETERSBURG MYSTIFIED "surrender" and "Peace" Are the Two Thoughts Foremost In the
 Minds of All Rus
 slans.
ST, PETERSBURG MYSTIFIED

St. Petersourg March Il. 2:SO a. m.- Last night all our armies commenced to retreat
 The greatest defeat in the history of the far eastern war was made known in St. Petersburg last night, but only in the foregoing eight words from General Ku- ropatlSin to Emperor Nicholas. This brief message was flung about tho streets In newspaper extras. and 1t was passed from mouth to mouth. Two thoughts formed instantly In the minds of every one. and two words were on every lip: surrender "Peacer The former dreaded, the latter hoped for.
 General Kuropatkin is no maker of phrases his words never arc quoted like the famous ''all Is lost save honor.' but his laconic message hides more than prob ably any two other sentences in the lit- erature of war St. Petersburg knows nothing of the extent of the disaster. not even the lines of Kuropatkns retreat whether the route to Tie Pass is still open. whether he Is endeavoring to cut his way through to safety, or whether as many pessimsts believe, he has taken to the mountains If he has fled Into the mountains he will inevitably hemmed in and starved into surrender.
 The dispatch from kuropatkin has been studied. and from the words all our armies" optimists draw the conclusion that the bulk of the Russian forces got away clear. the commander in-chief sac rificing. however the devoted rear guard. which flung itself as prey to the Japa- nese, who were closing fin on their trail. and sacrificing on either hand the greater part of his heavy artillesy, especially the siege guns and enormous quantities of suuuIies

London Critics Think He May
 Retire to BaikaI
MUCH PEACE TALK IS HEARD
One Correspondent States That kure. patkin Is Now at Tie Pass and That He Win Remove
 to HErbin.

London, March 1.-The fall of Afukdsn was overshadowed in London by the gem erai progress of the battle of NIukden. the result of the Japanese encIrcling movement and its possible effect on the future progress of the war.
 The opinion is that while the Russian fighting force Is disabled and probably will be obliged to retire further than Tie Pass. or even Harbin, the fighting spirit of the Russian nation will be increased rather than deterred by the defeat. The Japanese legation has been inundated with congratulations and everywhere the prime note was praise of the genius oe Field Marshal Oyama.
 Discussing the possibilities of peace aud Russia being cowed by the great defeat the Spectator thinks that despite historic precedent 1t does not follow that the Elm peror will make peace. He is credited with saying that it is only necessary to retire behind Baikal. refuse peace and rebuild the forces till he is again ready for az gressive action; and he may well consider this course preferable to the incapable shame Of being beaten by an Asiatc na-
 ton, and the possible dangers to his dynasty involved In making peace OH the . +f" '-i'e-'t -t' '''N~ts U" NNAi'AhNt Peace Talk Afioat.
 This difficulty of predicting what line Emperor Nicholas will take, is admitted on all sides; but there is still in some quarters an opinion that peace will en- sue. According to the Daily Graphic overturcs have already commenced. the Emperor's readiness to negotiate having been intimated to the French government and communications having passed be- tween the British and French govern ments with l. view to Great Britain open Ing communications with Japan 1t IS impossible at present to confirm or verify the statement of the Daily Graphic which declares that the decision Is duo not only to the defeat of kuropatkin but also to the almost insurmountable difficulties Russia met in the last attempt to nego- tiate loan in Paris.
 According to report Kuropatkin states the dispatch was sent from Tie Pass and that he would almost immediately trans fer his quarters to Harbn, The Daily Telegraph's Tohio correspondent asserts that the Russians were ignorant of the movements of the Japanese. and that the appearance of the latter in the Sinmntln district was | surprise. Kuropatkins dis aster, the correspondent adds. was largely due to an inefficient intelligence depart ment

Cuts Deeply In Families.

But generally the defeat cuts deeply. and Is keenly felt especially by families represented in the endangered army. The spirit of unpatriotic exultation will do the liberals no good at this time, as the defeat which one Russian correspondent describes as slaughter, not battle" en- tails the sacrifice of so many thousand Russian lives that the people fear to count up their loss. It is realized that in the fighting before Mukden was evacuated

Details Are Unknown.

St. Petersburg. March II, 2:3O a. m.- Of the present situation of the army of the proportion of Russians left on Jap anose hands. or of the prospect or the escape of the remainder, St. Petersbur1 at this moment knows less than the smallest hamlet in America. Since the Associated Press' Mukden dispatch was filed at o'clock Friday morning. no dis patch save the brief announcement. of the retreat of the Russian army has been received. General Kuropatkin's preceding dispatch giving the last details as to the position of the army having been written at o'clock Thursday evening. The mem bcrs of the general staff when asked for information. said:
 "We know nothing We hope he will bring the army off safely, but we don t know how he will do It. We only know he has commenced the retreat. That Is ah"
 Every one now is discussing peace, which many of the staunchest advocates of war. bureaucracy and officers. now declare to be inevitable It is openly brulted that Roiestvensky's fleet has been recalled and Is now on the way home ward. The admiralty when asked If the report were true. said:

It can be said, however that no overtures for peace yet have been made, and none Is likely to be made for q few days until the extent of the disaster has developed
 Aside from peace, defeat may bring other consequences in It's train. That an enormous impetus has been given to the reform movement is plain even to the most reaetionary conservatives, but the immediate result chiefly dreaded is the effect on internal disorders not only in the capital but also since St. Petersburg is not Russia to the millions of peasants in the vast agricultural regions, among whom the spirit of revolt Is now incubat- ing and already has matched plllage and arson in Il few districts
 It is believed, however. that the govern ment is able to nip these uprisngs in the bud, and prevent radicals in the cities from bringing off anything more than demonstrations and talk of revolution. aside from the peaceful revolution which has been under way in the last six months Is secuted in all we'll informed quarters.

There were no crowds last night; no demonstrations. no change from the ordinary street life. Newsboys were hawking extras on the streets-ncre dodgers with three lines of General Ku- ropatkn's dispatch surrounded by wide margins of black paper; but there was nothing to indicate that the extras were more important than those in which for year General Kuropatkin's dispatches have been issued.
