In London.

London, March 6.-The intensely

highest pitch. English papers for a
long time have ceased to receive war
specials and in this respect are lack
ing much information that Is avail
able in Associated Press dispatches.
1t is believed that General Kuropatkin
is In a tight place, and the chances OF
his extricating his army are keenly
