Tale Of the Retreat.

Hemmed in by the victorious
legions OF Field Marshal Oyama, with
Mukden and Fushun lost and with an
army demoralizcd by repeated re-
pulses, Kouropatkin must surrender.
according TO the opinions OF many
military critics az London.
Dispatches from Toxic, Ylnkow
and Newchwang indicate that the
Russian retreat is a rout, that the
soldiers are panicstricken and that
enormous numbers OF prisoners and
great quantities OF stores have be-
come spoils OF war 10 the Japanese.
The line OF retreat. apparently, is
toward the hill country TO the north
east, and II IS not believed that the
russians can keep up their resist
ance for many days
There is intense anxiety here to
learn whether the chain Oyama has
drawn around them will be strong

must be in a terrible plight, and n

garded as among the possibilities On

probably means that all effort In this
direction is hopeless.

Nogl's guns already command the rail-
