Official information from the Russian
headquarters in the field, supplement
ed by dispatches from the associated
press correspondents with the army of
the Russian emperor, shows that
General Kuropatkin, after suffering
the most severe defeat of the war, has
succeeded, as he did after the battle
of Lao Yang, in exticating his army
from a position which military experts
twenty-four hours before believed
would result in its humiliation or
surrender
The retreat from Lao Yang has
been considered the most mastery
ever executed, but it is far over
Swallowed by this latest feat of the
Russian general, who has taken
personal command of the troops.
After fighting for nearly three weeks,
loosing in killed, wounded and miss
ING probably a third of his army, or
nearly 100, 900 men, and fourth of
his artillery, Kuropatkin gathered
what was left together north of Muk-
den and took them towards Tie Pass
through a rain of shrapnel, which was
thrown Oh bllCul DOblA lS III ehA4NA ACAt'
This he seems to have been able to
accomplish by resorting to the same
tactics which saved his army at Lao
Yang. AS recently as Thursday last
he commenced sending his artillery
north by rail and road. That night
he destroyed by fire what he realized
could not be removed Friday morn
ing. The retreat was ordered, strong
forces protecting the rear and TANKS.
This movement commenced on Fri
day morning, and as the Japanese
forces on the east, which were to join
hands with the western army and cut
off the retreat, did not cross the
Decentralization road until Saturday
morning the Russians had a full
days start.
Gen. KauIbars seems to have extri-
Gated his corps, likewise Bilderling.

Cost. 100000 Lost by the Two Armies.

The losses in the fighting around

is not less than 200 900 men on both

The Russians sacrificed enormous
quantities of munitions and stores,
the greater part of which were set on
fire before leaving Mukden.
In ordering a retreat Gen. Kuropat-
kin is said to have declared it was
done lin order to satisfy protesting
opinion, and that whatever the blame
he would take it, which in the light of

lean cities, an extension of it's depreda-
tons is said to be imminent. A kindred
band is that of the Camorra, which
also has a large membership in this
country. A short time ago Sicilian
family named Gimavalva, living in the
Italian quarter of New York, received
a letter demanding $1,000 for the Ca
mora. The family kept small but
prosperous grocery store. They paid
no attention to the first letter, but on
receiving a second reported the matter
to the police. Their store was for some
time guarded by officers in plain
clothes, but in consequence of the de-
mand for the services of italian detec-
tives, owing ito frequency of Black
Hand crimes, the guard was tempo
rarily removed. Shortly afterward
there was an explosion, the building in
which the grocery was located was par.
TALLY wrecked, and several persons
We're hurt. Last winter the police of
Jersey City succeeded in locating the
headquarters of Black Hand band
and placing ten of it's members under
arrest. In the lodge room where the
Dand met was an assortment of
strange equipment. The walls of the
room We're festooned by queer pictures
and symbols, all of foreign creation or
origin and many of them resembling
religious emblems. In one spot above
the head of large table were the fig
ures ''2'' and ''3" in bright red. De

The trouble is that the Sicilians, their

safefy OF the general public is that

In the "reminiscences Of General Sir
Evelyn Wood, himself brave English
soldier, touching instance Of courage
and self sacrifice is given. One June
day in 1885 detachment Of English
marines was crossing the Woronzow
road under fire from the Russian bat
teries. All Of the men reached shelter
in the trenches except a seaman, John
BleWitt. AS he was running terrific
roar was heard His mates knew the
voice Of huge cannon, the terror Of
the army, and yelled:
''Look out! It is Whistling Dickr'
But at the moment Blewttt was
struck by the enormous mass of iron
on the knees and thrown to the ground
He called to his special chum:
'Oh, WEIGH, save mev'
The fuse was kissing, but Stephen
WEIGH ran out of the trenches and.
selling the great shell, tried to roll it
off his comrade.
1t exploded with such terrific force
that not an atom Of the bodies Of
Blewitt and WEIGH was found. Even in
that time when each hour had it's ex-
citement this deed of heroism stirred
the whole English army. One of the
officers searched out Welch's old moth.

support while she lived, and the story
of his death helped his comrades to
nobler conceptions of soldiers duty.
