EOUT SEEMS COMPLETE
BROKEN RUSSIAN ARMY MAKING
DESPERATE EFFORT TO Es-
CAPE NoRTHWARD.
JAPS DRAWING IN THEIR LINES
POURING AN ANNIHiLATlNG FIRE
UPON DEMoRALiZED MASS
OF THE ENEMY.
MAY END IN GREAT DISASTER
OYAMA STILL TRYING TO CUT
OFF RETREAT OF THE MAIN
RUSSIAN ARMY.
WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.

The broken Russian army is desper-
ately struggling northward after enor-
nous losses in men, guns and sup
plies. The rout seems complete and
an unofficial report from st. Peters
burg says that Kuropatkin has lost
10000 prisoners. To the east and
west of the retreating army the Japa-
nese are closing In and it is apparent
that Russia has met with the crowning
disaster OF the war.
Official reports from Toxic say that
thousands of Russians are crowded
into the district between the railway
and the Mukden road, while the Japa-
nese are pouring an annihilating fire
upon the demoralized mass.
In a dispatch to the emperor Gen.
eral Kuropatkin announces that he is
I'm full retreat and adds: How many
are surrounded Is not known"
On three sides the enveloping Japa-
nese are drawing in their lines and 1t
seems possible that Oyama's supreme
effort to interpose strong force be-
tween the main Russian army and the
north may be successful.

SIXTY THOUSAND RUSSIANS CAP
TURED AND AS MANY MORE
KILLED OR WOUNDED.
SAYS WAR WILL Be CONTINUED
GRAND DUKE VLADIMIR ASSERTS
FALL OF MukDEN DOES NOT
AFFECT SITUATION.

St Petersburg, March 13.-It is re-
ported in the mif1rftary clubs that Gen
eraI Kuropatkin has lost 800 guns and
about $4,000 prisoners, besides about
the same number of kjlled or wounded.
No official dispatch was issued dur
ing the day.
The temper of the imperial family
can perhaps be judged by Grand Duke
Vladimir's response when asked what
would be Russia's reply to General
Kuropatkin's defeat.
"Send another army" was his an
swer.

NUMBER MANY THOUSANDS.
Prisoners Captured by Japs at the Fall
of Mukden.

Toxic, March 13.-The full extent OF
the Russian disaster is still unknown
here. 1t is known, however, that the
casualties and losses in guns and mu-
nitions of war are enormous. Even ap-
proximate figures are unobtainable as
yet. 1t is expected that the prisoners
will number many thousands. Local
estimates of the number taken vary
from 10000 to 10000
1t is not clear yet whether General
Kuropatkin planned to stand and hold
tire. His action in heavily reinforcing
his right in the neighborhood of Muk-
den inclines many to the belief that
he planned to hold the line on the
Hun river and attempted to check
flank attacks.
By desperate onslaught the Japa.
nese drove a wedge through the line
of the Hun river and then, pressing
northward, practically created a giant
Gordon around Mukden, bagging a tre-
mendous force of the Russians by the
operation. Desperate fighting contin-
ued during the night, the Russians
striving to break the encircling bar
rier.
1t is evident that the losses on both
sides were heavy, swelling the already
tremendous total involved in the cap
ture of Fushun and the continuous
heavy fighting.
1t is now known that as a result of
the operations Friday, ii the Japanese
army succeeds in obstructing the line
of retreat between Fushun and Tie
pass, but small fraction of Kuropat-
kin's army will emerge from the dis
aster.

TERRORIST LEADER KILLED
ACCIDENTAL BOMB EXPLOSION
IN A HOTEL AT ST. Pc
TERSBURG.

ST. Petersburg, March 13.-The ex.
plosion of bomb at the Hotel Bristol
here Just before daylight blew to atoms
the owner of the bomb man with an
English passport and giving the name
of Alfred Henry Mccullough, and
wrecked the adjoining rooms, killing
the wife of an officer and injurlng
several other dodgers. The explosion
tremendous sensation. There is not
the slightest doubt that the man killed
was connected with terrorist plots.
The bomb was of the same power as
those which killed the late Minister of
the Interior Won Plehve and Grand
Duke Sergius, creating the same havoc
as did the explosion at the Hotel Du
Nord last spring. The preliminary in
vestigation of the police leads them
to believe that Mccullough was en-
gagged either in packing his effects, as
the Hotel Bristol was to be vacated,
or in preparing for some desperate
enterprise when the bomb fell and ex-
ploded. The police Immediately sur
rounded the hotel with mounted gen
darmes, allowing no one TO within
fifty PAGES.
An independent investigation made
by the Associated Press seems to es-
tablish beyond question that the man
killed was a terrorist leader. His
passport of course was fictitious, but
the man was foreigner, not a Rus
sian. AT the Hotel De Paris, where he
had been stopping from time to time
since the middle of January, McCul
Tough was described as very intelli-
gent looking man between thirty and
forty years of age, resembling more a
Frenchman than an Englishman,
speaking French with the fiuency of 4
native. Just before Grand Duke Ser
gius was assassinated the man was
absent for two days. which might con-
meet him directly with the grand
dukes murder.

WITH MUKDEN As HIS BASE
MARSHAL OYAMA DETERMINED
TO PUSH NORTHWARD IN
DIRECTION OF HARDIN.

Washington, March 13.-With Muk.
den as his new base Marshal Oyama
has determined to push northward in
the direction of Harbin with a large
part of his army in the effort to follow
up his recent victory as rapidly as pos.
sible and accomplish his one great pur-
pose of administering a really crush
ing defeat to General Kuropatkin. This
from an authoritative source and ac-
curately sets forth the present pro-
gramme of the Toxic war office.
After receiving several cabIegrams
telling of the victories of the Japanese
arms around Mukden Mr.. Takahira,
the Japanese minister, although the
host at brilliant reception which
lasted past midnight, was an early Wis
itor at the state department, where he
had half an hours conversation with
Secretary Hay. AS he was leaving the
department the minister was asked
what effect, in his opinion, the battle
of Mukden would have upon the ulti-
mate issue of the war.
For us 1t is but chapter In the
great conflict, though a most impor-
tant one,' the minister replied. 1T
is difficult for me to say how much
the battle of Mukden will contribute
toward peace, for overtures for peace
must necessarily come from the other
side,
VIII your government suggest
peace in the light of Oyama's vic
tory?" the minister was asked as he
entered his carriage.

REPORT FROM KUROPATKIN
DOES NOT KNOW HOW MANY
OF HIS SOLDIERS ARE
SURROUNDED.

st. Petersburg, March 13.-The AS
sociated Press learns that the dispatch
received by Emperor Nicholas from
General kuropatkin during the night,
In addition to announcing the retreat
oil the Russian armies, added
Our retreat is being conducted with
the enemy harrassing both our flanks.
THE Second army under Bilderling
has suffered the heaviest both in killed,
wounded and prisoners. How many
are surrounded Is unknown"
The army was still in danger when
kuropatkin telegraphed, but the sit
uation is better than the public be-
heyes.

ALL REPORTS PESSIMISTIC
ABSENCE OF NEWS AT ST. Pc.
TERSBURG GIVES FINE PLAY
TO IMAGINATION.

st. Petersburg, March 13.-The cur
tain which shrouds the extent of the
Russian disaster at Mukden has not
been pierced Nothing positive is
known of the situation, not even Gen
eral Kuropatkin's own whereabouts.
The commander-in-chief's message an
nouncing that all the armies were in
full retreat is the last definite word
from the battlefield.
The absence of news gives fine play
to imagination and the city Is filled
with the most pessimistic reports. The
public generally believes that the sit
uation is much worse than is officially
admitted here. While the military
men do not attempt to minimize the
Russian defeat the failure OF Toxic to
report officially the exact situation
affords a glimnier of hope that the
position of Kuropatkin's army is not
so black as painted. The fact that
1920 cars loaded with artillery and
carrying wounded men passed north
ward from Mukden during the last ten
days is interpreted as giving ground
for hope that Field Marshal Oyama's
plumber will not be as great as report
ed. The dust storm and the exhausted
state of the Japanese armies after their
herculean efforts during the ten days
battle may also have rendered the re-
treating army good service. But the
main point, namely, how large pro-
portion of the army is surrounded and
whether it has been captured or still
has a chance to cut its way out is not
elucidated. Everything indicates, how
ever, that Kuropatkin has suffered
catastrophe of the first magnitude.
Peace Rumors in Circulation.
While the air is full of peace rumors
following the Russian defeat there is
undoubtedly necessity for massing
new army at Harbin ii the war is to
be continued. Neither Emperor Mich
olas nor the government have taken
step in the direction of peace and prob
ably they will require several days to
reach decision on this point. The
report that France has already been
asked to intervene is, however, posi-
llpeIy untrue. Il ne ASSOCldIeu GTeSS
is enabled to make the following state
ment:
"The moment might prove oppor-
tune. but the question of peace lies
with Japan and not with Russia. Rus
sia would welcome peace and peace
could be arranged, not through a third
power but by direct negotiations be-
tween the two countries Ii Japan
would propose moderate terms. AS
the victor Japan is in a position to
take the first step. Russia cannot and
will not sue for peace. Neither could
she accept terms which did not recog-
nize Russia as a power in the Far
East. 1t is idle to speculate on the
concrete terms. The only thing is that
Russia's position in the Far East must
be recognized. Friends of peace
throughout the world should use their
influence with Japan. The victor
should show moderation. Otherwise
no end OF the war is yet in sight"
