Moreover the notices were neatly
printed. a thing unknown In the days
OF the late interior Minister Won
Plehve, when similar notices were al.

time the Grand Duchess Marie, like
the Grand Duchess Elizabeth In the

disaster has again overtaken the Rus
sian arms, according to which Mukden
has been outfianked and is untenable
and kuropatkin Is Withdrawing from
his strong position on the Shakhe
river. That such reports are exag
gerated is beyond question, but al
though reticent and seeking to mini
mize the operations of the last few
days the officials of the war Office are
plainly discouraged at the fashion in
which Kuroki Is able to drive in and
turn the Russian extreme left, his ad
vance columns actually crossing the
Shakhe river. 1t Is admitted that the
fighting was desperate at several
passes Sunday and Monday, while the
front was being involved, the purpose
of Field Marshal Oyama evidently be-
ing to keep the center and right en-
gagged and prevent Kuropatkin from
sending reinforcements to head off
Kuroki.
Should Kuroki cross the Hun river
the high road to Tie pass, forty miles
north OF Mukdsn, would be open and
kuropatkin's retreat threatened.
Further news is awaited with great
anxiety. Anything like a decisive
Japanese victory now would probably
end the war.
