Mukden, Feb Constant streams
OF wounded men are arriving here
from the right flank, including Lieul
tenant General Mistchenko, who is in
excellent spirits and is receiving Wis
itors. According to the official army
organ the wounded number $500 The
cold is intense and the condition OF the
wounded causes the greatest anxiety
because the exposure of their wounds
to the frost induces gangrene. Pre-
ventiVe precautions have been taken.
but the wounded are suffering the
greatest pain
The Japanese are taking good care
to see that the Russian rank and file
are not left uniformed regarding the
disturbances in Russia. They are
carrying on a regular campaign to
spread sedition and encouragement
among the troops. Letters are daily
thrown within the Russian lines de-
claring that all Russia is afiame with
riot and revolt, arguing that the sol
diers are shedding their blood in vain
and calling on them to surrender or
desert. The soldiers eagerly read and
discuss these communications, espe-
cially accounts Of the events at ST.
Petersburg Jan. %. The sincere hope
is expressed on all sides that the Rus
sian nation will forego internal diff
ferences and not play into the hands
of the japanese.

Affects Economic Situation.
1t is estimated that the number Of
killed or wounded at Warsaw is about
400, which is conservative estimate.
The rioting in Poland will largely
affect the economic situation. The
factories at Warsaw, LODI, Petrokoff
and other industrial centers in Poland
have been compelled to gradually re
duce their output and decrease their
working forces since the outbreak of
the war, which has almost entirely
closed the Siberian and Manchurian
markets. The result has been that
thousands of Workmen have been
thrown out of employment for many
months, furnishing horde of hungry,
dissatisfied, desperate men, among
whom the news from st. Petersburg
produced an outburst of riotous and
incendiary spirit It is feared that a
large proportion of these thousands
may be utilized by the revolutionary
organization in Poland, which is the
hotbed of socialism, and the move
ment may develop a purely political
character, though there is no indica-
ton SO far of any cooperation on the
part Of the intelligent classes of the
Polish poulation, which are averse to
a revolutionary movement
