All hope that General Kuropatkin

that he is gradually withdrawing

inclined to believe that he has waited

remnants of his army.
At the war office it is said that the
Japanese siege guns from Port Arthur

terrible p;Aishment. Nothing can
stand up against them.
The only news received at the war

equanimity on the theory that Rus.
