RUSSIANS OUT OF DANGER
REMNANTS OF GENERAL kURO
PATkIN'S ARMY MAKE GOOD
THEIR RETREAT.

st. Petersburg, March 15.-Accord-
ing to the latest information received
by the war office the remnants of Gen
eral kuropatkin's army have made
good their retreat and are now out OF
the immediate danger OF new turn
ing movement north of Tie pass.
The japanese are reported to be
completely exhausted by their long,
hard fight and are compelled to rest
and undertake the tasks of burying
their dead and looking after their
wounded, prisoners and plumber. The
war office admits, however, that kuro-
patkin has not furnished specific in
formation as to the whereabouts of
General Kawamura, who has been re-
ported to be northeast of Tie pass, or
of the Japanese columns reported to
be pushing north by forced marches
west of the railroad. Kuropatkin has
also left the war Office in the dark In
regard to the number of prisoners cap
tured by the Japanese, having made
no detailed report about the separate

in no position to contradict the Toxic
dispatches detailing the Russian
losses.
Responsibility for Disaster.
While Kuropatkin has assumed full
responsibility for accepting battle at
Mukden he has complained to the en-
peror that his plans miscarried largely
through the failure of two generals,
whose names cannot be learned, to
execute his orders. He also throws
blame on some of the troops, who
failed to respond promptly at the crit
ical moment.
The war council held at Tsarskoe
Selo during the day, at which War
Minister Sakharoff, General Dragon
iroff and others were present, is un-
derstood to have decided the question
of continuing the war in the affirma-
tive. Ways and means were discussed,
but decision on some points, 1t is un-
derstood, was reserved. The question
Of Kuropatkin's successor was also dis
cussed, but the emperor has made no
final decision. Grand Duke Nicholaso-

and inspector general of cavalry, is
again mentioned and General Gripen-

Paris Bankers Discuss Proposed Rus

Paris, March 15.-Inquiry at three
banks principally interested in the
proposed new Russian loan brought
the response that it had been decided
to postpone the issue. A representa-
tive of one of the banks said the post
ponement was for such an indefinite
period that it was not likely the issu-
ance would occur for some time to
come. The postponement was attrib-
uted to the uncertainties of the war
situation.
The Journal Dispatch, in its financial
article says:
MANY people consider the postpone
ment to be evidence that Russia has
reached the end Of her resources"
