IN DEMORkLIzED CONDITION
RUSSIANS RETREATiNG TO THE
HILL COUNTRY NORTHEAST
OF MukDEN.

Newchwang, March 11.-Accordins
20 reliable information received here
the Russians, having been driven out
of Mukden and Fushun, and, with the
railroad cut, are retreating in a de-
moralized condition to the hill country
towards the northeast.
Detached bodies of Russians are
roughly entrenching with a view to
checking the pursuit, but no great rear
guard action is being fought.
1t will be impossible for the Rus
SLAMS to keep up any sort of resist
ance for many days, as there are nc
means of provisioning in the rough
country through which they are re
treating.
1t is believed that the Russians may
attempt to reach kirin, 225 miles
northeast of Mukden, through the val
leys, but a special Japanese corps
from the direction of the Yalu river
(probably General Kawamura's forces)
threatens to cut them off.
General Kuroki is advancing north
west and is forcing the Russians
against General Nogi's armies.
The casualties on both sides have
been enormous The Russian Sixteenth
army corps was practically ami
hilated at Tatchekiao.

JUST STORM RAGING.
Interferes With Progress of Battle in
Manchuria.

Toxic, March 11.--Reports from
Manchurian army headquarters say the
Japanese have captured Theta. The
Russians are vigorously holding and
defending their fortifications north OF
the Hun river. A dust storm is inter.
fering with the battle. The following
telegram has been received from the
Manchurian army headquarters in the
field:
"In the direction of Singching for
some days our force has been attack
ing the enemy, who is making an OBJ
stinate resistance in strong positions.
Finally, in the neighborhood of Theta,
our force at o'clock Thursday morn
ing completely dislodged the enemy,
whom they are now pursuing.
"Our force in the vicinity Of Ma
chuntan continues in hot pursuit OF
the enemy toward Fushun.
"In the direction of the Shakhe and
east and south of Mukden we entirely
pressed the enemy to the basin of the
Hun river. We stopped on the left
bank attacking the enemy's strong
fortifcations west and north of Muk-
den.
"A heavy dust storm obscured the
Sun Thursday and as a consequence
the darkness precluded seeing any dis
tance."

SOME DESPERATE FIGHTING.
BloodIest Engagement of Present Bat
tie at Diushantun.

Mqkden, March 1.-THE fighting
around Mukden has been terrific for
two days past.
The japanese Wednesday night
pushed up from the south across the
abandoned plain between the Shakhe
and Hun rivers and took positions
about five miles south of the latter
and from the Hun opposite Machiapu
and northward Japanese batteries
poured in a ceaseless fire. The Japa-
nese succeeded in placing siege guns
and mortars at Diushantun, about six
miles west of this city, whence they
opened fire before dawn. Diushantun
was the scene of the bloodiest and
most desperate fighting of all this ter
rible battle. Its possession was vital
to the japanese, who stormed 1t again
and again. The Russians dislodged
them, but the Japanese finally recap
tured the village after much hand-to-
hand fighting.
Eyewitnesses say the dead scattered
in the streets, courtyards and houses
have been unburied four days. Rifles
and other arms lie about wrenched
and twisted Hand grenades were
thrown by the Japanese and the garri-
son was subjected to the concentrated
fire of as many as hundred guns.
With Diushantun in their hands the
Japanese trained guns on the Mukden
railway station and it was held at
frightful cost. The japanese are also
concentrating their efforts about seven
miles north of Mukden and about five
miles west of the railway with the
object of breaking through and cutting
off the surrounding troops below.

NEWS OF THE FALL OF MUkDEN
CAUSES DEEPEST GLOOM
AT ST. PETERSBURG.
EXTENT OF DISASTER NOT KNOWN

FICED BIG FORCE TO SAVE
BALANCE OF ARMY.

st. Petersburg, March 1.-THE dis
patches of the Associated Press an
nouncing that Mukden had fallen and
that the Japanese had captured thou
sands of prisoners and enormous guam
titles of stores and guns only confirm
the worst fears entertained here, pre-
vious dispatches having shown that
the trap was sprung The announce
ment furnished a miserable end to the
Russian carnival week This being a
holiday the war Office was closed to
the thousands of people in quest of
news besieging the doors in vain. In
side the gloom was intense. officers
stood around discussing the catas-
trophe, seemingly without a ray OF
hope. At o'clock the officer of the
general staff who gives out official dis
patches approached a group of wait
ing foreign correspondents and said
disconsolately:
mo dispatches from Kuropatkin to-
day"
No Explanations Offered.
That was all. Usually he had been
ready to offer explanations, but he
only said in reply TO all inquiries:
I'VE have absolutely nothing"
Another officer who was asked by
the correspondent of the Associated
Press for his opinion of the report
that the major portion OF the armies of
Generals Bilderling and Kaulbars
were cut off said he thought that, con-
sidering the situation, anything was
possible. 1t was his idea that kuro-
patkin may have deliberately sacri-
feed 100000 men by hurling two or
three corps at the Japanese in order
to bring through the bulk OF his shat
tered army
The official reports which have ar
rived are being held at Tsarskoe Selo,
where a council of war Is in progress.
They will be given out later. II is very
questionable whether Kuropatkin will
attempt to make stand at Tie pass,
although the place offers natural ad-
vantages for defense and besides has
been fortified.

from the meager information In the
days dispatches it is apparent that
his position is extremely critical. Be
sides the japanese screen that has
been gradually thrown to the west and
north of Mukden columns of infantry
and guns are reported to be moving
northward. The japanese line, after
covering the whole east and west
front, is bent sharply toward the north
and at strategic points is projected
east until it's guns are within range OF
the railway. On the east General ka-
wamuras army is reported as making
forced marches with the probable OBJ
ject of striking the retreating Russians
on their left. Apparently the Russians
are racing north with a Japanese col
umn ON either flank and fighting a
rear guard action with the Japanese
center army.
st. Petersburg is prepared for news
of great disaster, but all Japanese
sources of information are significant
ly silent as to what is transpiring on

END OF WAR NEAR AT HAND
General Opinion Among the Diplomats
at Pekinq.

Peking, March 1.-THE results oi
the recent fighting in Manchuria have
made considerable of an impression
in diplomatic circles here and even
the most sanguine pro-Russians have
been forced to admit that the pros
poets for Russian success are discour'
aging.
From a Russian point of view it was
expected that after the winter had
passed the Russian armies reinforced
would ayenge their reverses and re.
trieve their fallen fortunes.
The recent defeat has shattered this
hope and 1t is generally believed that
the end of the war is not far distant.
