IRON RING CLOSED.
Nothing Remained But Attempt to

St Petersburg, March TO- 10 p. M
The extent Of the disaster to General
Kuropatkin's army is, as yet. I'M
known here, but the most sinister re-
ports receive credence. and the public
believes that Field Marshal Oyama
has succeeded in closing the iron ring
around at least a large portion of the
army. Communication with Mukden
apparently is cut, as no word has ar

FanatieaI Japanese Valor.
All hope of Kuropatkin waiting for
an opportune moment to strike and
convert defeat into victory has been
abandoned, even by the military crit
les, and the papers in a dolorous strain
chronicle the last and worst reverse

ISOLATION they find is that the Russian
troops have been conquered by Won

uncanny about the desperate expedi-

Russians, and backing into the Rus

say. does not parallel such desperate
fanatical vaIor as here. The papers
at the same time are filed with re-
elimination.
Russian diplomacy is blamed for not
| including in the theatre of operations
the territory west of the Sinmintin
road, which Field Marshal Oyama used
to accomplish his bold turning move
ment, and criticism is heaped upon Ku-
Topatkin.
The Russ, however, while admitting
kurOpatkin's failure as a strategiSt,
insists that the responsibility should not
be shouldered by him alone. The real
cause of the Russian defeat, the pa
per boldly declares, is the bureaucracy

the worst fears entertained here, the
dispatches Of the Associated Press re-
ceived here last night having shown
that the trap was sprung.
The announcement furnished a mis-

This being a holiday. the war office
was closed to the public. hundreds of
people in quest of news besieging the
doors in vain. Inside the gloom was
intense. Officers stood around discuss
ing the catastrophe seemingly without
a ray of hope. At 4 O'Clock the officer
of the general staff who gives out Off
cial dispatches approached a group Of
waiting foreign correspondents and
said, disconsolately:
Nothing to Give Out.
NO dispatches from KurODatkin to-
day" That was all. Usually he had
been ready to offer explanations. but
today he 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 Cen
erals Bilderling and Kauibars were cut
off, said he thought that considering the
situation last night anything was pos
Sible. It was his idea that Kuropatkin
may have deliberately sacrificed 100, 900
men by hurting two or three corps at
the Japanese in order to bring off the
bulk of his shattered army.
The official reports which have ar
rived are being held at the Tsarskoe-
SelO, where a council of war is in
progress. They will be given out later

Mul1den, Thursday, March 8, mid

more vigorous attack on the railroad

The situation is too extremely serious
to discuss, and owing to the censorship

general, the line held by the japanese
yesterday, west and northwest. were as
follows:
Beginning al the village of Suhetun
on the Hun river, and running north
through the village of Lifuyantun. six
miles west of Mul1den railroad station
to Tatchiekiao. then turning northwest
along the valley of the Pu river to the
village Of Taudyatun, nine miles north
northwest of Mukden and six miles
west of the railroad. and thence con-
tinuing generally nOrthward toward Tie
pass.
In places the japanese bent their
lines sharply inward. as at the i'm

reaching and where the railroad turns
eastward.
One small body of japanese crossed
the railroad to the east Of the line.
