LONDON, Jan. 24.-In a dispatch from General Kuropat,.in to Emperor Nicholas additional details are given of General Mischtschenko's raid. General kuropatkin mentions q number of off cers who distingu shed themselves by bravery before Yinkow and gives the total losses for the four days as olii- cers and 73 men killed and 32 officers and 2J7 men wounded and 2l men missing. General kuropatkin says the raid created the greatest alarm in the Japanese rear guard.
 A Tokyo dispatch says that Vice Ad- miral Kamimura has left to rejoin his fleet. It was recently announced that the Russian Vladivostok squadron was believed to have been repaired, and it was thought it might come out at any moment

The whole city Is reported to be in a state of great ex- eitement over the news of the blood shed here, which has prec.pitated i'm nediately the strike that had been planned for Wednesday
 Moscow has more workmen and less troops than St. Petersburg and besides 10 just now the heart of the liberal movement. and the danger of bloodier occurrences there than have been wit lessed here are proportionately greater. rising at Moscow is also more likely b have greater results industrialIy and politically than that in St Petersburg.
 According 10 private reports. the Eorkmen in several other big cities. Dotably kharkov. where large locomo- live works are located. alreldy have completed plans for general suspen- sion of work Moreover. reports are eurrent that the work men. who other gise would soon be forced back into he shops or starye. have received as Grances of financial support from the spurces which hitherto have furnished the sinews of war to the liberal and evolutionary agita ton. but have not Before been in touch with the labor movement. If the strike becomes gen pral all over Russia. and especially if he railroads are drawn in. it might Immediately force the nation to make Deace with Japan.
 It is said here that as the outcome of he meetings of the Reform party Of Eorky, AnDensky.

He in. sists that the Russians destroyed their warships at Port Arthur beyond any possibility of salvage by the Japanese. The statement follows:
 General Stoessel. who was in abso- lute command of the fortress, vigor- ously opposed the naval policy. He maintained that, despite the unpre- paredness of the fortress, Port Arthur could easily be defended by troops armed only with rifles.
 "The equalization of Two Hundred and Three Meter hill sealed the fate of the Russian squadron. which had pre- viously been able by constantly shift ing its anchorage to protect the ships.

The plunging fire of the Japa- nese eleven inch howitzers was disas- trously effective. In several instances these projectiles landed in decks of the battleships and went down clear through their bottoms.
 When the news that General Stoes- sel had sent q letter to General Nogi offering to surrender reached the navy we realized the necessity of destroying our ships beyond the possibility of their use by the Japanese.
