SOUTHERN MANCHURiA

a. m.-With the evacuation OF Tie pass

abandoned the last stronghold in
southern Manchuria and definitely
turned over that section TO the Japa-
nese for the campaign Of 1905. No
other strategy is possible for Gen. Ku-

of ammunition and stores, the shattered
condition of his army and the wide en-

EXPECT RACE FOR
GREAT RAILWAY BRIDGE

LONDON, March II. = An uncon-

states that Gen. kuropatkin will re-
treat. not to Hardin. but to Kirin and
Vladivostok- This however. is re-
garded here as quite improbable. and
the ensuing fortnight is expected to
witness keen race between the Rus
SLAMS and japanese for the great rail-
way bridge over the Sungarin river

there is no fortified place of SUFFICIENT
strength at which TO make a stand
until the Russians reach Hardin. n
huropatkin should be able to make a
successful retirement thither. IL ia
likely that he would be able to add
some fifty thousand fresh troops to his
exhausted army.
question discussed here is the pos
s1bility of Russia evacuating Vladiyo-
stok and concentrating its garrisons at
Hardin.
Various reports giving the alleged
terms on which Russia has obtained a
loan through the French syndicate are
current here and on the continent.
These reports agree that the loan is
for short term. and that the amount
is about $125, 100000.

BIoodthirsty Pamphlet
Castros attitude is reflected in a
pamphlet just issued through one of
his advisers, Col. Juan BautiStia La
medic, in which plans for sending 81, 900
Nenezuelans against New Orleans are
disclosed. The pamphlet urges the
public to avenge the insults offered to
Venezuela by the Americans and de-
clares the invasion of the Mississippi
valley would be the most effective
means of curbing the power of the
United States. The following is an ex-
tract from the pamphlet:
Perhaps 10000 Venezuelans. bearing
the glorious national banner, that very
banner whose floating iris Illuminated
the waters of La Plata with the splen-
dor of the Venezuelan fatherland to
the echoes of the clarions of Carabobo

today be sufficient TO wash away the
insult which our glorious flag has re-
ceiVed from North America, in the
very waters of the Mississippi. Con-
duncurca is not more distant from
Venezuela than the hostile land. and

order that the sons of Washington
