WOULD CRUSH
OUT REVOLT
Journalistic Spokesman of
the Russian Autocracy
Urges Drastic Measures

ST. PETERSBURG, March s.-A sem
sation was caused to-day by a leading
editorial in the Moscow Gazette, the
traditional spokesman of autocracy,
declaring that the present revolt in the
interior should be put down immedi-
ately by the method by which General
Michael Muravieff crushed the Polish
and Lithuanian rebellion in 1863.
1T would be a sad sacrifice of life. -
says the Gazette, but hundred times
less now than if the revolt were allow
ed to continue until it becomes abso-
lutely necessary to take decisive steps"
LONDON. March 9.-Anarchy and
open defiance of the authorities, ac-
cording to the Daily Mails correspond
ent at Batoum, is spreading in the
Western Caucasus. The situation Is so
serious that an expeditionary force has
been mobilized to enter the disaffected
districts of Georgia. 1t consists of
seven battalions of infantry, six COM
panies of Cossacks and a battery of ar
tillery, and is commanded by General
Alikenoff, who is noted for his drastic
methods. The Georgians threaten that
the first shot will be the signal for a
revolution.

orderly manner before the onward rush
of the Japanese, who have advanced
more than twenty miles in four days,
always being in touch with the Rus
slams.
The Russians had many strong de-
fenses along several lines, but these
were not defended by them as strongly
as the Japanese had expected. 1t Is
evident that the Russian soldiers had
become disheartened by the fall of
Port Arthur, and it is believed at these
headquarters that they are. or have
been, in almost open revolt. Many
strong positions were given up by them
without a show of resistance.
The battlefield shows evidence of a
hasty retreat. 1t is covered by bits of
clothing and heavy felt boots, thous-
ands of the latter having been thrown
away, probably because they impeded
the hasty flight of the Russians.
Many rifles and thousands of rifle cart
ridges were thrown away.
The Russians are retiring to the east
and north in confusion, and 1t is now
evident that all plans for retreat were
upset by the rapid rushes of the Japa-
nese. The entire Russian right seems
to be disorganized, and reports re-
ceived to-day show that the troops are
in an almost panic-stricken condition.
One Russian army corps opposed to
the extreme left of the Japanese armies
is retiring rapidly, making practically
no effort to stop the movement of the
Japanese.
The Russian center near the railway
still retains its position, but 1t is be-
lieved that unless the Russians there
retire the entire command will either
be surrounded or it's retreat cut off at
Tawankampu on the Hun River, which
was captured last night by the Japa-
nese. In this capture the Japanese Sc
cured large quantities of supplies and
considerable light railway material, the
Russians having retreated precipitately
without having time to either carry
away or destroy their supplies.
The advance of the japanese left
armies has been the most rapid they
ever made. Recognizing the fact that
the Russians had become demoralized,
the Japanese determined not to allow
them time to rally. So far the Japa-
nese have not captured any guns, but
they have taken q large number of
rifles and much ammunition.
The movement of the Japanese troops
practically throughout the entire battle
was conducted by telephone, the per-
feet hatness of the country not allow
ing any hill from which commander
could direct the movement Of the
troops. The ground is still frozen, and
therefore it Is impossible for the ad-
vancing japanese to throw up any
shelter. and they are using various de-
vices for protection, some Of the men
being furnished with small steel shells
large enough to cover the head while
lying, and others carrying sand bags.
Some of the Japanese even use a half
dozen bricks taken from the ruined
Chinese houses and bound together
with wire.
The Chinese are suffering greatly as
q result of the fighting. Many of their
villages have been burned by shell fire,
and others have been set on fire by the
Russians. All the houses containing
anything of value, have been looted by
the Russians.

SOtdiSI VIII
MUKDEN. March Sup to noon to-
day, when the order to. retreat was
given, the almost unparalleled death
struggle In which the armies of Kaul-
bars and Nogi were locked seemed to
be largely a question Of endurance. 1t
was difficult to decide with which force
the advantage lay. The Japanese
stormed village after village, only to be
driven out again by Russians. Some
positions were captured and recaptured
many times. One village was occupied
by each side four times. This village
was finally held by the Japanese, who
made entertainments with the bodies of
their own dead, piling them up through
the night and making of them a COM
pact wall with mud.
A correspondent to-day rode over
ground strewn with Japanese dead An
hour later the Japanese marched back
and reoccupied the same ground Push
ing on, they encountered Russian
troops, which held their ground stub
bornly and ultimately hurled the jap
anese back.
At sunset three Russian regiments
marched across the plain, distance of
two miles, into battle. They advanced
in column of companies, with their ri
f1es at the shoulder, colors flying, bands
playing and the men singing the
mighty chorus of a Russian hymn,
which was heard above the roar of bat
tie. Shimose shells burst so thickIy
around them that black smoke hid
them from view; shrapnel ragged over
head like an electrical storm, but still
the regiments moved forward, closing
up gaps in their ranks and forming
into line when they reached the point
of engagement, as if on parade The
spectacle was sublime.

REXIXES PEACE TALK.

The news of a retreat on Tie Pass Is
bound to revive talk of peace, though
If Field Marshal Oyama has failed to
crush General Kuropatkin, peace is no
more imperative now than it was last
month. Peace advocates point out the
departure of Vice Admiral Rojestven-
sky's squadron from Madagascar for
Jibutil, simultaneously with the loss Of
Mukden, and intimate that, perhaps
the movement of the fleet may have
been made in view of the latter event.
The movement. on the other hand, may
be in pursuance of a plan for a juno
ton between Rojestvensky and the re-
inforcing squadron, preparatory to CIV
ing battle to Togos fleet
The peace movement admittedly has
a strong following, even in the Min
istry; but it cannot be stated now
whether the defeat at Mukden has been
effective enough to turn the scale.
No decision can be taken, at least un-
til the extent of the reverse is known
