NO MATCH FOR oYAMA.
German Army Experts Have No Con-

BERLIN, March IL. Lieutenant
General Won Boguslawsky, retired, of
all the military critics who endeavored
to estimate the battle of Mukden in
the Berlin press to-day, probably is
the most competent and of the highest
rank. Field Marshal Oyama, he says,
BY the greatness Of the things
he has done, must be accepted
as great commander, espe-
cially as he did not possess superiority
in numbers. The battle is of absorb
ing interest for professional soldiers,
because never before have such num-
bers been engaged over so wide a ter
ritory. The very magnitude of the
operations has been a test of the in
genuity of the commander in chief.
Il am little Inclined" says General
Won Boguslawsky, ito sit at the green
table and give a damning verdict, but
still one may be allowed to form an
opinion on such facts as are already
available.
THE task Of directing 100000 men
on single stage, with eighty to one
hundred miles of front, so that each
unit may have it's proper, weight
against thoughtful and active enemy,
was too large for Kuropatkin, whose
training was adjusted to the COM
mand of some 100000 men. The brain
IN command failed on the Russian side
to perceive the developments and meet
them with proper precision.
"Oyama was somewhere far from
the rim of the lighting zone, in touch
by field telegraph and telephone with
every important unit in action. He
was doubtless able to sketch approxi-
mately at any time the relative posi-
ticns of his own and the Russian divi-
sions and coordinate the movements.
Even with the fruits of victory not yet
fully gathered, he has achieved an i'm
mense victory, the effects of which on
the military situation in the Far East
and in the internal situation in Rus
sia must be far and deep reaching

other critics arrive at the same con-
clIsions.

ST. PETERSBURG, March II. - A
semi official statement issued this
evening is as follows:
material for conjectures of peace pour
parlers to the European press, which
is filled with articles and expressions
of opinion on the subject of peace.
1t has been stated in all seriousness
that the Russian Government has in
formed the French Government that
it is the intention Of the Emperor to
engage in peace pourparlers.
I'VE are authorized to declare in the
most categoricaf fashion that all state
ments to the effect that 1t is the iilten-
ton of the Russian Government TO
open pourparlers With view to the
conclusion of peace are absolutely
without foundation. The statements
do not emanate from well-informed
Russian sources. They are simply
conjectures of various correspondents
or are derived from Japanese sources.
1T is known that Japan is at present
negotiating a loan with British and
American bankers and that she is also
negotiating for O0,000,000 yen (about
$4,000, 000) with an oil company, CIV
ing as a guarantee naphtha deposits in
North Japan and in Saghalien Island.
Interested parties are encouraging
these reports in order to assure sue
cess of loan after removing the fears
caused by the uncertainty as to the
duration of the war"
WASHINGTON, March n.-"After
Liaoyang there was talk of peace.
Russia's answer was reinforcements.
Like Liaoyang. Mukden is the scene of
another retreat, and again Russia S
answer will be large reinforcements,
but of peace not a word"
This was the emphatic statement of
Count Cassini, the Russian Embassa-
dor, to-day in the light of the morn
ing dispatches telling of the Russian
retreat. The ambassador was ac-
quainted several weeks ago with the
final decision of the Emperor that Rus
sia would continue the war until Rus
sian arms were victorious, regardless
of the time it would require, and that
already preparations are being made
for large reinfocements to General Ku-
ropatl<in.
PARIS, March 1.-THE Temps. which
usually reflects the sentiment in Off
cial quarters, prints a notable leading
editorial this afternoon. appealing to
Russia to accept tine, anevitable and
make the best peace terms possible.
The paper declares that Russia's sac
rifice will be less than that of France
at the end of the Franco German war,
as France struggled against the dis
memberment of her own country,
whereas Russia struggled to hold Man
churia, which she has formally prom
ised to return TO China. Moreover, the
battle of Mukden definitely establishes
Japan's advantage, and therefore self
interest demands that Russia recog-
nize her defeat and abandon the
struggle.
1t is gathered that the events of the
next few days may have an important
influence for peace. although an over
whelming Japanese victory is con-
sidered in the highest quarters as
likely to retard instead of advance
peace. This is based on the theory

oYAMA WILL SOON PUSH ON.
KuropatIxin to Be Given No Time TO
Reorganize His Army.

WASHINGTON. March 11.-with
Mukden as his new base. Marshal
Oyama has determined to push north
ward in the direction of Harbin with
a large part of his army In the ef-
fort to follow up his recent victory
as rapidly as possible and accomplish
his one great purpose Of administer
ing a really crushing defeat to Gen.
eral Kuropatkin. This information
has reached Washington from an au-
thoritative source and accurately sets
forth the present programme of the
Toxic War Office.

Japanese had broken through between
the slender First and Fourth army
corps, taking advantage Of the hurri-
cane that was blowing clouds of dust
into the faces Of the Russians, to de-
liver an attack which the Russians
were not prepared to meet. 1t was
impossible to support the retiring corps,
SIS the reserves, to the last man, had
been sent to the line of battle at other
points, and as the danger of communi-
cations being severed by this attack
from the east was imminent, retreat
was determined upon and Immediately
begun.
The four principal roads leading
l~northwaEd- toward Tie Pass were COM
pletely occupied by a continuous file
of artillery and transports and the re-
treating army blackened the country
between.
Before beginning the retreat all the
depots, stores and military buildings
and everything that would be of ser
vice TO the Japanese was set on fire.
A large amount of baggage and many
stock belonging 10 the railroad was
brought away and not a single car or
locomotive was left at Mukden.
RETREAT DURING HURRICANE
About 1900 severely wounded Rus
slams and several hundred japanese
were left In Mukden hospitals. The
remainder of the wounded in hospitals
were sent northward and. a railroad
train remained behind almost with the
rear guard and brought off trainload
of those wounded in the retreat, many
of whom reached Tie Pass without
their injuries having been bandaged.
Mukden Station was abandoned al
I O'Clock on Friday morning. The re-
treat was dreary and disagreeable to
an extreme. A dust hurricane, blow
ing directly southwark, filled the eyes
of the troops, but at the same time
tended to blind the enemy and delay
pursuit from the south.
The retreating columns were bonn
/ barded on both fanks by batteries
which ii was impossible to silence, the
chells reaching the Mandarin road
from the east with especial frequency
from the village of Tawan, eight miles
north of Mukden. and Pu. FIVE miles
farther north. Under these circum-
stances the retreat was conducted with
astounding precision, which was
largely due to the personal efforts of
General Kuropatkin, who. with hag-
gard face and uniform yellow with
dust, was everywhere when needed.
REAR GUARDS HEROISM.
The troops composing the rear
guard fought with extraordinary brav-
cry under the very eyes of the cena4
mander in chief and the morale of the
entire army. under the circumstances.
was excellent.
The Mukden defeat is attributed to
many reasons, one of the most import
ant OF which was insufficient informa-
tion concerning the Japanese and their
strength, which was far in excess of
Russian calculations.
The censorship bureau at first re-
commenced work at Tie Pass, but is
returning to the rear guard, COM
munication with which is still open.
