General Lnevitch Reports that His

Gunshoe Pass, 108 miles north OF
Tie Pass, Manchuria, March 2l.~
The Japanese losses are estimated al
the Russian headquarters to be 1907
600. Some of the troops employed to
cover the retreat from Mukden were
badly demoralizing, losing their way in
the hills eastward and only rejoining
their own divisions.
So certain was General KuropatkiD
of being able to hold Mullden that
maps of the country nOrthward were
not even distributed. Kuropatkin how.
ever resolved to accept battle against
his better Judgment, owing to the i'm
patience of ST. Petersburg for victory,
or he was confirmed in this decision
by false calculations of Field Marshal
Oyama's strength.

cess of the Japanese we're their vio
lation of Chinese neutrality in the
