Little Known of Recent Events in

TOKYO, March IL, S p.m.-Beyond the
general retirement of the Russians along

OM|NOUS LAST WORDS
st. Petersburg Gloomy Over
Lack of News
OF RETREATING ARMY
LONG RETREAT TO HARBIN NAY
NEVER BE ACCOMPLISHED.
Japanese Pressing Russian Rear Guard
Hard-Attack Feared When
Troops Reach Plains.

ST. PETERSBURG, March is, 2:10 pm
Telegraphic communication with the re-
treating Russian army has been cut for
over twenty-four hours, but the authorities
hope it is only temporary They have
no information that the Japanese have
reached the railroad in General Linevitchs
rear. Nevertheless, with the curtain down.
the war office naturally is the prey of the
direst forebodings.
The last word from the front was con-
tanned in a telegram from one of the Asso-
ciated Press Russian correspondents. the
only correspondent with the retiring army.
1t presaged an attack from the rear.
The telegram, although dated Changtufu
Qorty miles north of Tie Pass, at O'Clock
Thursday afternoon. was sent from Kai-
yuan. thirty miles north of Tie Pass and
only reached St. Petersburg this morning.
1t very brief, saying simply that the
army was retiring in good order and de-
stroying the railroad 1t went, but was
constantly pressed by the japanese. the
rear-guard action being continuous. There
were ominous words in the concluding SEN
tence. as follows:
Fears for Safety.
I'VE believe the japanese making a
wide turning movement north. and that
they are ready to fall upon us when we get
out of the ring-like group of mountains
whic h surround the Tie Pass gorge"
In the long retreat to Harbip the Rus
SLAMS only have the advantage of the Man.
DARN read far as kaiyuan, whence II
bears eastward to Kirin. while the railroad
continues north to Harbin.
According to the general staff however.
a good wagon road runs parallel to tho
railroad. But for an army OF a quarter or
a million men incumbered with tmpedi-
menta. with active enemy relentiesly
pursuing and operating on its fanks, and
the constant threat Of the enemy closing
the line of retreat, it is admitted that the
single railroad and wagon road afford poor
prospects of General Linevitch being able
to bring off the remnants of the army con-
sacrifice of life.
May Force Capitulation.
If the Jananese actually succeed in
throwing n strong force across the ffne of
retreat IT is recognized that the army
might be forced to capitulate.
In the meantime, the mobilization OF q
new army has already begun in several
nrovinces although the order has not yet

OFF FOR EUROPE TODAY
SECRETARY HAY TAKEN ILL
WHILE BOARDING SHIP.

NEW YORK, March 1S-Secretary of
State Hay was taken i'll today he was
about to board the White Star liner Cretic
for a voyage to the Mediterranean, and be-
came so weak that he was taken on board
the steamer in a wheeled chair. That his
condition was not regarded as alarming
seemed apparent, however, as the steamer
started on her voyage without delay.
Mr.. Hay has been in poor health for
some time, and the voyage upon which he
started today was planned to give him COM
plete rest and an opportunity to recuperate.
The Secretarys plans include a stay of
about SIX weeks in southern Europe.
The Secretary had come up from Wash
ington yesterday, accompanied by Mrs
Hay, his daughter, Mrs. James w. Wads-
worth jr.; Clarence Hay, his son, and
Henry Adams, a personal friend. The whole
party went to the steamer today, although
only Mr.. and Mrs. Hay and Mr.. Adams
were to sail.
Overcome Climbing Gangway.
At the White Star dock there are three
short flights of stairs leading to the second
floor, from which floor the boarding of the
steamers is made. In going up these stairs
Mr.. Hay had to rest at each landing. Just
as he reached the top he reeled back, but
recovered himself and kept on
AS he was about to start uD the gang
plank he was seen to turn deathly white
and stagger, and he would have fallen had
not his friend supported him The Secre-
tary was assisted to a heap of freight piled
up near the gangplank. where he sat down
and waited until an invalid's chair was
brought from the steamer. He was then
wheeled aboard the steamer and went at
once to his apartments.
Believed Not Serious Attack.
1t was within few minutes of the steam
er's sailing time when the Secretary went
on board, and 1T was believed that If his i'll
turn was regarded particularly serious
there would have heen some delay. while
physicians were summoned or change in
plans made. No word came from Mr.. Hays 8
apartments, however, and the Cretic left
her docks promptly on schedule time.
The Cretic is not equipped with wireless
telegraph, and except for possible signals
to passing vessel no word of the Secre-
tary's condition will be had until she
reaches the Azores, her first stopping place.
AS she passed Sandy Hook the Cretic dis
played a signal saying that Secretary Hay
was much better,

BILE that Constantinople must fall in
the end to Austria or Russia Never
theless, he is leaving no stone I'M
turned to increase German influence.
If the eternal growth of Russia
should be checked by an exhaUsting
war or by serious internal disorders; if
dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian
empire should follow the death of Fran
els Joseph, Germany would be in a po-
sition TO obtain paramount influence on
theBosphorus and the eastern coasts of
the Mediterranean. The two powers
which could intervene most effectively
! to balk German ambition would then be
the two which saved Turkey from Rus
STA half a century ago. The Anglo
I French agreement, while not an often
siVe alliance. is capable of considerable
development and contains the possibili-
ties of effective domination of the Med
iterranean. Great Britain, France and
Italy together would surely make such
domination certain; and Italian inter-
! ests, especially in the Adriatic, dictate
/ such a combination. The German en-
peror has been credited with a desire to
win French friendship; and very posi-
! bly, this desire exists. But the speech
= of Chancellor Won Buelow indicates
that the far wider results of a. vigorous
! eastern policy have exercised greater
fascination over his mind. Will a med
+ iterranean Monroe Doctrine be strong
ly enough supported to check him as
the original Monroe Doctrine has
checked him in the western World?-
