treat the Situation is Desperate.

st. Petersburg, March 18.-Tele-
graph communication with the retreat
ing Russian army has been cut for
over twenty-four hours, but the au.
thorities hope it is only temporary, de-
claring that they have no information
that the Japanese have reached the
railroad in the rear of General Line
witch. In the long retreat to Harbin
the Russians only have the advant-
age of the Mandarin road as far as
Kaiyuan, whence it bears eastward to
Kirun, while the railroad continues
north to Harbin. According to the
general staff. however a good wagon
road runs parallel to the railroad. But
for an army of a quarter million men,
encumbered with impediments and
with an active enemy relentlessly pur-
suing and operating on the flanks and
the constant threat of the enc
my closing the line of retreat, it is ad.
mitted that the single railroad and
wagon road afford poor prospects of
Llnevitch being able to bring off the
remnants Of his army without tre-
mendous sacrifice of life. If the JAP
anese actually succeed in throwing
strong force across the line of retreat
1t Is recognized that the army might
be forced to capitulate. In the mean
while the mobilization of a new army
has already begun in several provin-
ces, although the order is not yet pub.
lished. Newspapers generally endorse
Lfnevitch's selection as temporary
commanderin-chief, on the ground
that Kuropatkin's lack of success
made suppression imperative. At the
same time it is recognized that Kuro-
patkin's failure also rests on other
shoulders and pity is expressed 1t
his sad fate.
To Carry War to Limit.
Toxic, March 18-Beyond gener.
al retirement of the Russians along
the railroad northward, little is known
here of the last three days events in
Manchuria. There is much specula-
tion over the extent of the Russians
retirement. Hardin is regarded as a
logical base but 1t is suggested that
they may attempt to hold the Kirin
line. Formerly the conservative ele-
ment in the high councils Of Japan
favored setting limit to the Manchu-
rian advance It opposed advancing
to Harbin. but the results of the vic
tory at Mukden are removing opposi-
tion and the bulk of opinion and judg.
ment now favors pressing the advan-
tages and carrying the war to the ut
most limits possible.
Reported Rear Guard Action.
Hinkow, Manchuria, March 18.-It
Is reported that the Russian rear
guard Is fighting a heavy action in
the vicinity Of Kaiyuan, about twenty
