kuropatkin overwheImed.

st. Petersburg, March s, p. M
Rumors have it that the day is lost
and the Russian army is in full re-
treat from Mukden. Public interest
is at higher pitch than at any time
during the war. Groups surround the
bulletin boards and extra papers sell
in sheaves.
Despite the optimistic governmental
reports, the belief in the public mind
is that General Kuropatkin has been
overwhelmed by Field Marshal Oyama
and will make last stand at Tie pass.
The losses are enormous on both sides
