MAY CUT OFF RUSSIAN LEFT.
Position of That Portion of Army Is
Extremely Critical.

st. Petersburg, March 10.-St. Pet.
ersburg this morning knows little
more of the outcome Of the battle of
Mukden than it knew Wednesday
night and little more of the fate of
General Kuropatkin's beaten army. 1t
is not even known whether the rail-
road has been cut off and commun-
cation destroyed, though it is believed
that the report of the destruction OF
the railroad by General Oku's army
refers to the damage inflicted on Wed
nesday, which was not serious, though
traffic was twice interrupted. 1t is
evident, however, that the Japanese
are pressing closer on this indispen-
sable means of retreat
The most important news received
from Russian sources is the Asso-
ciated Press information that the Jap
anese already have reached the Hun
river. Flu pass Is only twelve miles
east of Mukden and we'll westward
of General Linevitch's line of retreat.
Whether the extreme Russian left has
already succeeded in retiring behind
the Hun river and moving down the
north bank of that stream to
join hands with General Kuropatkin's
main force Is not stated; but 1t is ex-
tremely probable that unless the Rus
slams are able to defend the crossing
at Flu pass, General Rennenkampff's
corps and perhaps additional forces
will be cut off and haze to shift for
themselves In the mountainous region
north of Fushan against expeditionary
forces of Japanese which are reported
from Chinese sources to be racing to-
ward Tie pass. TIE censor allows no
word to pass. but it was stated here
yesterday that General Kuropatkin
had been for some time assembling a
force Of reserves at Tie pass and
Hardin with this eventuality in view,
to defend the pass and positions until

esr of the Edenburgw was lost. Nine
men foundered on the Mataafa.
Early today when the life-saving
crew resumed its efforts to reach the
Mataafs, the form of a man was
seen standing at the door of the
captains cabin. A megaphonewa
secured and in response to repeated
calls a man appeared on deck, and
replied Gall alive forward, can you
get US ashore?' This spurred the
life-savers, and with great difficulty
through a sea so rough that the
waves were rolling over the wreck
and clouds of spray that few mast
high, the life-boat tossed like chip
reached the side of the wreck and g
rope was thrown to the eager hands

The prosecution then began its
cross-examination. The defendant
was requested to describe running"
as Branch had conducted it toward
him. Pressed for direct answers as
to what Branch had done, Meri-
wether said: .-
81 don't care to relate them.'
Meriwether then whispered to
the judge-advocats and the question
was withdrawn. 1t was evident
that Me,iwether hestitated to men,
ton certain things before the wo-
men, of whom there were num-
Der in the courtroom. He then de-
clared that he had not been "ratty"
but had unfairly acquired the rep
utation.
At the end of Meriwether's testi-
mony, the defense announced that
it had closed its case.
Captain George P. Colvocoresses
commandant of midshipmen, was
the first witness for the rebuttal.
He told of a conversation with
Midshipman Churchill Humphreys,
president of the second class, in
which be had told Humphreys that
be was under oath to obey all regu-
lations. He, as eommandant, took
the stand that fighting at the acad-

San Francisco, No. 28.-From
the coast Of faraway Luzon comes
story giving the pathetic features
Of a tragedy of the sea. As the
coast guard steam schooner sent
from Manila on a tour of the small.
ers islands cautiously approached a
desolate islet lying on the northeast
coast of Luzon,l the captain stood
on the bridge, glasses leveled at a
particular place amid the. breakers
on shore where vessel was strand
ed. Flying from the truck of her
only remaining mast was string
of signal flags, and the captain of
the coast guard ship was engaged
In deciphering it's import.
Farewell is what they mean, :"
he said at last to his mate.
The wreck was that of the coast
guard schooner Leyte, which had
been at sea during the great ty-
phoon tidal wave which swept the
Philippine islands two months ago.
During that storm many vessels
were wrecked even in Manila har-
Dor. Tbs Leyte never came to
port. All on board the vessel un-
doubtedly perished as there are no
indications on the island that any
escaped.
AS the little steamer went to her
doom, the brave American officers,
recognizing their fight for life as
hopeless, hoisted the sad message
spelled by tiny signal flags, "Fare.
we'll" as a last word to the world
and their families.
Richmond, Va, Nov. 2S.-The
first jury composed exclusively of

MAY REFUSE TO SHOOT AT
MUTINEERS, BUT WOULD
NOTSHOOT COMRADES.
Spirit of Rebellion Has Spread
Through Army From End to
End of Empire-Cossacks
Alone Loyal.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 29.-The
last day of grace accorded the mu-
tineers at Sevastopol expired at
midnight with no signs of surrend-
er on the part of the men. The
hills towering above the harbor of
the Russian stronghold 10 the Black
Sea may resound this morning, as
they did in the days of the Crimean
war, with the roar of musketry and
cannon, should the government at.
tempt to carry out its announced
intention of crushing the revolt
with the mailed fist. -s s---
The rebellious sailors are playing
a waiting game and apparently
have full confidence that the guns
OF the fleet will not bs turned against
them. If they have not actually
regarded the summons to haul down
the red flag, they seemed determin.
ed to make the authorities show
their hand. -.
Whether General Nepluff, the
commandant- Of the fortress, who
was released. by the mutine-rs to-
day and who relieved General Bar
on Gakomoleskie, will dare to &C.
cept the challenge of the mutineers
and stake the discipline and loyal
ty, not only of the troops at his dis
posal, but of the whole army, on
the cast is, however, doubtful. Dis
patches from more than score of
garrisons in Russia show that the
land forces of the empire ere in a
state of discomfort, and any order
to the troops to fire upon their COM
rades in the sister branch of the SER
vice might probably precipitate a
general and widespread mutiny.
On the other hand. it would be diff
fcult to starve out the sailors by a
regular siege, IS provisions and wa
ter can be obtained by them, and
as they are under the guns of not
unfriendly warships.
The staff quarters at Ssvastopol
are guarded by Cossacks and the
officers in the streets are accompan-
led by escorts of Cossacks, the only
branch of the service the fidelity of
which is unquestioned.
Even the members of the guard
regiments treated we'll and superla-
lively paid, are joining in the rev.

uganda, were arrested at their bar
racks tonight. It is understood that
the soldiers of the equipages from
which the crews of the imperial
yachts are drawn will be Withdrawn
to St. Petersburg on account of dis

Long Range TaiIorine-

Here is a good railroad story:
A man was standing before "a station
one autumn afternoon, when a bell
changed, and all the station employees
came running out, and arranged them
selves in a neat line on the platform.
There was the ticket agent, the tele-
graph operator, the baggage master,
and so on. They stood side by side,
their shoulders squared, their heads
thrown back, like soldiers on parade.
And now a locomotive, drawing only
one car, dashed past.
1T was an observation car, and on
the observation platform sat a small
quick, nervous man. He had a table
before him, with pens and paper on it,
and as the train shot by the station, he
regarded the men sharply, and made
hurried notes.
Who was hep said the stranger to
the telegraph operator, after the train
was gone; some prominent official of
the line?

ROBBED SEVEN TIMES.

New York, Dec. 30.-For the second
time within three months and the
seventh time within three years the
jewelry store of Schwartz Brothers at
1868 Broadway in the heart of the
tenderloin district was robbed early yes
terday and about $4,000 worth of dia-
mond rings and watches were stolen
The loss on the seven robberiess ac-
cording to a member Of the firm, ag-
gregates $4,000.
The robbery was most daring as this
part of the city is the busiest and the
most brilliantly lighted throughout the
entire night Working during the
height of a terrific rain storm when
most of the pedestrians had sought
shelter the burglars gained an en-
trance to the store by cutting through
a steel folding gate that barred the
approach to the front door and then
cut through a heavy wide screen that
protected the plate glass in the front
door. They then smashed the half
inch thick glass to reach their plum
der. In cutting the wires of the screen
over the window the burglars set off a
burglar alarm. yet they escaped with
their booty before the police or the
agent Of the burglar alarm reached
the scene.
