Washington, Feb. For the

KUROPATKIN DECEIVED
BY OYAMA'S STRATEGY
Correspondent Explains Great
Disaster at lMukden.

WITH GENERAL KUROKPS
ARMY, NORTHEAST OF MUKDEN,
Sunday. March 12.-Every hour in
creases the magnitude of the disaster
suffered by the Russian armies.
Tonight $4,000 dead are known to
have been left on the field, making the
casualties at least 100000.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 prisoners,
some seventy guns and enormous guam
tltles or ammunition and provisions fell
into the hands of the Japanese.
The japanese losses do not exceed
those OF former great battles, even
men.
Field Marshal Oyama's plans COM
pletely deceived General Kuropatkin.
The Russian commander misjudged the
positions and strength of the japanese.
he at first believed that General Nogi's
FORT Arthur army was pressing his
east flank and concentrated a great
force there. This force he was after
ward obliged to shift to Mukden, where
IT arrived in state of exhaustion after
a forced march and was unable to
fight.
The retreat from Mukden began on
March 8. 1t became a demoralized
flight when the Russians discovered
that their egress. was being blocked by
Japanese infantry and artillery from
the east. The rapid approach of the
Japanese was a complete surprise to
the Russians, who expected that their
retreat would be harassed only by Jap
anese cavalry from the westward.
Yesterday Saturday morning one
division Of Japanese encountered sew
eral Russian regiments retreating along
the road to Tie Pass. The Japanese de-
scended from the hills upon the Rus
slams, who attempted to break through
the line. After a sharp engagement, in
which the Japanese guns did great ex-
ecution, 1000 Russians surrendered,
with ten guns. The Japanese lost 100
men.
According to stories told by the cap
tured Russian officers and the appear
ance presented by their troops, the re-
treat lacks organization, every battal-
ion shifting for itself.

ANSWERS RUSsIA'S CHARGE.
Toxic Denies a Violation OF the Neu
trality of China.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-From
the Foreign Office at Toxic the Jap
anese legation has received dispatch
bearing on the report that the Russian
Government has again drawn the at
tention of the powers with a statement
TO the effect that the Japanese troops
were guilty of a violation of China's
neutrality, as their appearance behind
the Russian army in the western part
of Fentian province must have been
effected by taking a route through
Mongolia.
'As matter of fact" the Japanese
dispatch from Toxic says, ''the i'm
perial forces have never passed
through Mongolian territory, while
Russia has long been drawing supplies
from Mongolia and always has been
sending there disguised armed troops,
which, intimidating native Princes and
people, have caused them to render as
sstance to the Russians in the rear"

of further information it is difficult to
say whether the pursuit has slackened
or is being conducted by only portion
of the japanese, and military officials
here hope that, as at the battle of
Liaoyang, Field Marshal Oyama has
paused TO give his weary troops a mo-
mentary breathing spell. while extend
ing his railroad and other lines of sup
ply to his new position and preparing
for the next blow.
To the Russian army every minute
is now valuable and the footsore and
disheartened detachments have been
given scarcely an hours rest before
being set at work improving the de-
fenses of the pass. 1t may be, how.
ever, that even now they are being
turned out of those positions Rumors
are current that a wide eastward flank
ing movement, which was begun before
the battle, is still in Nrogress, and on
the other side 1t is feared that columns
are moving north of Fakoman to take
a position in the Russian rear.
General Kuropatkin still holds COM
mand. An officer of the general staff
said to-day that he probably would not
retire until some semblance of order
had been restored. The question of his
successor is still undetermined.
There are indications that the food
supply at Tie Pass is none too large,
immense quantities having been burned
at Mukden, and Russian correspond
ents telegraph that they have had moth
ing TO eat for two days. The troops,
however, probably are faring bet
ter. The commissariat arrangements
worked admirably during the battle
and even at the height of the fighting
the soldiers received warm food.
kilograms from the Russian side,
though inadequate as a basis for any
detailed estimate of the Russian losses,
show that they have been extremely
heavy-enough to cripple offensive
operations for many months. General
Kuropatkin admits that $4,000 wounded
were carried off, but says nothing as
to how many killed wounded or pris-
oners were left behind: and from his
picture of a little handful of two Off
GERS and $50 men of the Imperial
Rifles marching off, led by their gall
liant colonel, clinging to their stand
ard, can be derived some idea of the
losses sustained by the regiments that
bore the brunt Of the fighting. The
exploit of the 500 at Balaklava pales
besides this. Even the losses in the
bloody angle" of the Wilderness and
in the battle of Antietam are scarcely
comparable.
Another tragic picture of the retreat
is related in connection with the retire
ment of General Rennenkampff's de-
tachment from Oubenepusa with bare
ly one-third of its original strength
the brave soldiers breaking down and
sobbing and kissing the blood stained
ground which they had been ordered to
relinquish.
The loss of officers is said to have
been especially heavy and many of the
higher and more capable orricers were
killed.

KurOpatkin's Dispatches Do Not
Minimize the Defeat.

KurOpatkin's Dispatches Do Not
Minimize the Defeat.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 1S.-Gen-
eral Kuropatkin, in a dispatch dated
March u. says $4,000 Russians were
wounded during the last few days
fighting.
A dispatch from General Kuropat-
kin, dated March IL, says:
The enemy is receiving general re-
Inducements. Examination of the
wounded and the prisoners shows Gen
eral Nogi had almost entirely fresh
forces. The Japanese are always able
to keep their forces up to full fighting
strength. because of the ease with
which they are able to transport troops
from Japan"
In a dispatch dated March II, Gen
eral Kuropatkin says:
According to reports from the rear
guard. a japanese force consisting of
a division and half is within a short
distance of the Russian rear guard.
The Second Army is marching con-
tinually under the fire of the enemy,
who is advancing from the east and
west"
General Kuropatkin adds that the
rear guard advanced in perfect order,
but that the movement of the trans
port along the Mandarin road was
very difficult, owing to the Japanese
cannonade. The country between Tie
Pass and Mukden is intercircled by riv-
ers and steep banks and the Russian
wagons were obliged to halt and await
their turn, causing much delay.
General Kuropatkin compliments the
Japanese intelligence department. He
says:
Thanks TO the organization of the
intelligence department and their re-
connaissanee, the Japanese always
knew the positions occupied by our
army.

CHINA BALKs JAPAN.
Shippers Suffer Through Closing of
the Sinmintin Railroad.

TIENTSIN. March 13.-The Chinese
railway administration has withdrawn
the locomotives and other rolling stock
from the line between Sinmintin,
Koupangtze and Yinkow.
1t is said in high quarters here that
the Chinese are justified in taking this
course, as the high handed action of
the japanese in endeavoring to force
them to violate neutrality by carrying
eontraband of war left them no alter
native. notwithstanding the fact that
the loss of revenue will be serious
one. probably resulting in the deterior-
alton of the bonds of the railway.

authorities TO-DAY stopped all traffic
on the railroad between Yinkow,
Koupangtze and Sinmintin, and took
the rolling stock to Chinchow. AS a
consequence the mails are Interrupted

and salt cars. Another result will be
