ments of forty-three bodies lay in

eratives had not been accounted for.

The work of Identifying those
killed by the explosion at the shoe

day progressed slowly owing to the

of the victims.

Russians Fear The Capture
of Their Whole Army.

st. Petersburg, March 90
Anxiety regarding the fate of
General Linevitch's force contin-
ues, the main danger to them being
the Japanese columns which are
hurrying northward along the great
route twenty miles west and paral-
lei with the line of retreat. The
heads of these columns were offic-
tally reported to be passing Fako-
man. thirty miles northwest of Tie
pass, on Friday. Their appearance
doubtless hastened the Russians
retirement, which may now have
become literally race northward,
as once the Russians are headed it
would be easy for the Japanese bv
short cut to throw themselves
across the line of retreat. After
leaving Kaiyuan, General Line
witch is believed to have divided
his army, the main portion keeping
to the railroad and the other falling
back along the Mandarin road
which runs to Kirin. it being i'm
possible to leave the latter open to
the Japanese lest they then be able
to creep up to the left flank. At
the same time it is recognized that
separation of forces is always at
tended with the danger of giving
the enemy an opportunity to con-
centrate and fight the army in de-
tail. Some military men here be-
lieve that Linevtch will try to hold
the line from Kirin to Changoun.
12O miles north of Tie pass. The
first corps composed of steady
troops from St. Petersburg, and
formerly commanded by General
Meindorff. is covering the retreat
which the war Office declares is
proceeding in an orderly fashion.
Complete details of the losses at
the battle of Mukden are not vet
available at the war office, but
the reports thus far received indi-
cate that 100000 men were killed,
wounded or made prisoners, and
hat about eighty field guns were
captured. Almost every siege gun,
t is affirmed, was removed.
