REJOINiNG THEIR DIVISIONS.
Russian Troops Lost in the Hills Since
Battle of Mukden.

Gunshu Pass, 10S Miles North of Tie
Pass, Manchuria, March 22.-The Japa-
nese losses are estimated at the Rus
sian headquarters to be 100000.
Some of the troops employed to
cover the retreat from Mukden were
badly demoralized, losing their way in
the hills eastward and only now rejoin-
Ing their own divisions.
So certain was General Kuropatkin
Df being able to hold Mukden that
maps of the country northward were
not even distributed Kuropatkin,
however, resolved to accept battle
against his better judgment owing to
the impatience of ST. Petersburg for
victory and he was confirmed in this
decision by false calculations of Field
Marshal Oyama's strength.
One of the main factors of the sue
cess OF the Japanese was their viola
ton of Chinese neutrality in the use
of the Sinmintin road.

CONTINUE TO FALL BACK
RUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS ESTAB.
LISHED AT CROSSING OF
SUNGARl RIVER.

st. Petersburg, March 22.-General
tablished for the present at Chenchia-
watzu, situated at the crossing OF the
Sungari river, whence he is directing
the retreat of the three armies and
disposIng OF the fresh troops OF the
Fourth corps, just arriving from Euro
pean Russia. The protection OF the
Sungari bridge is vital to the saliva
tion of the army, as the river is not
fordable below Kirin and once the
line of the river is passed and the
bridge blown up the Japanese pursuit
will be effectually checked
At the same time the Second army
is falling back of the line of the rail-
road, while the First and Third, with
the transport, are retreating along the
mandarin road to Kirin, both destroy
ing bridges and roads and denuding
the country behind them and making
1t impossible for the Japanese to live
in the immediate wake of the retreat
without their own commissariat. The
japanese are advancing over the grand
trade route twenty miles west of the
railroad. However, they could prob
ably live on the country, the road just
before the opening of navigation OF
the Liao river being crowded with Chi
nese provisions on the way to market
southwark.
Apparently 1t is question as to
which army will outmarch the other,
although the general staff seriously
doubts the ability of Field Marshal
Oyama's fatigued soldiers, with the
difficulties OF getting guns, ammuni-
tion and provisions over the ruined
roads, to continue the pursuit ener-
getically.
No information is available regard
ing the strength of the Japanese col
umn advancing along the grand trade
route. but the war office SAYS 1t is

AMERICAN MINISTER PRESENTS NOTE
IN CASE OF REFUSAL NECESSARY
STEPS WILL BE TAKEN TO
SECURE JUSTICE.

Willenstad, Island of Curacao,
March 22--The Venezuelan govern
ment, it is announced from Caracas,
has received a note from the Amer
lean minister, Mr.. Bowen, requiring
an answer as to whether Venezuela
will arbitrate the questions pending
and saying that in case of refusal
the United States will feel free to take
the steps which may be necessary to
secure justice.
The charge d'affaires of The Neither
lands has advised the Venezuelan gov
ernment that Holland will use coercive
measures in view of the fact that she
has been unable to secure the release
from Imprisonment in Venezuela of
five Dutch sailors who have been IL
legally kept in prison for seven
months.

Toxic, March 22.-No reports of the
Russian retreat or Japanese pursuit
were received during the day, which
is strengthening the belief that the
Russians plan to hold the line from
Changchun to Kirin. The Japanese
continue to closely follow General
Linevitch's rear guard, but the dam
aged bridges impede their progress
and possibly will create sufficient de-
lay to permit the Russians to recon
centrate, reinforce, partially reorgan-
ize and construct works at Changchun
and Kirin.
1t is reported that portion of the
Vladivostok garrison has been with
drawn and hurried to Harbin, but no
confirmation of the rumor is obtain
able.
The first Mukden prisoners are ar
irving in japan. The government has
chartered and fitted out forty steam
ers to assist the transports in carry
ing prisoners and wounded.
Revised figures of the Japanese loss
es at the battle of Mukden place the
number at $4,000 and revised estimates
OF the Russian losses from the COM
mencement of the battle of Mukden
and ending with the fighting at Tie
pass place the total at 175,000 killed,
wounded or captured.

REPORT OFFICIALLY DENIED.
France Has Presented No Uitimatum
to Venezuela.

Paris, March 22.-The foreign office
says the French minister at Caracas
has not presented an ultimatum to
Venezuela and no French Warships
have been sent to Venezuela. The
statement to that effect results from
the publication in London newspapers
of dispatches saying the presentation
of an ultimatum had been followed by
the dispatch of two warships. The
officials are surprised and d.spleasei
at the reports, which they construe as
tending to force the hand of France
into more aggressive and belligerent
policy than anything France contem
plates. Intimations are made that the
United States occupies the best posi-
tion to send warships, owing to the
length of time the American contr0-
versy with Venezuela has been pend
ing, whereas the French controversy

GREATER FLOOD THREATENED
Heavy Rain Falling in Allegheny and
Monongahela Valleys.

Pittsburg, March 22.-Another and
greater flood threatens this section.
For twenty-four hours heavy rains
have been falling over all the country
drained by the Monongahela and her
tributaries and reports received show
that all the streams are rising rapidly.
1t is also raining heavily up the Ale
gheny valley and while that river is
now receding continued rain may
check the fall.
Forecaster Ridgeway of the weather
bureau has issued a warning TO the
effect that a much higher stage of
water might be expected.

ty-six hours. The river is rising a

beyond their banks and Wills creek,
running through Cumberland, is now

London, March 22.-Russian official

official news, are inclined 10 credit a
Harbin story published in Paris con-
Meeting the firing reported to have
been heard about seven miles south OF
Tie pass with General Rennenkampff' s
division. The dispatch from Harbin
points out that the only explanation
of a cannonade in that locality is that

at Tie pass, where the Russian armies
were ordered to rendezvous in case OF
retreat, but only to find the place oc-
cupied by the Japanese. Consequent
ly it is feared that Rennenkampff is

Brief Teleurams From Linevitch.

st. Petersburg, March PA couple
of brief kilograms from General Line

during the day. They merely say that

had inspected more new arrivals from

cellent spirits.

tons or department.
Washington, March 22.-In calling
upon President Castro for an answer
tion the issues between the United
States and Venezuela Minister Bowen
is acting in accordance with specific
instructions from the state depart
ment which have recently been placed
in his hands. Mr.. Bowen made a
proposition of this kind to the Venezu-
elan foreign office several months ago
and there was an exchange of notes
on the subject, but its further consid-
Grafton was cut off by abrupt depar-
ture from the capital of President
Castro at moment when his own de-
cision was required. The Venezuelan
government at that stage had made a
counter proposition looking to the arbi-
tration of the dispute by The Hague
tribunal, but with the important quail
fication that the tribunal should arbi-
trate as a preliminary the question as
to whether or not the United States
government had the right under inter-
national law to intervene at all as be-
tween the Venezuelan government and
American concessionaries for their
protection. This was construed here
as an attempt to bring into play the
old Calvo doctrine, which the United
States has
Repeatedly Refused to Accept
in it's negotiations with the Southern
republics. S Mr.. Bowen reported to
the state depa ttment the fact of Presi-
dent Castro's departure and asked for
instructions. These were prepared
with great care and after Attorney
General Moody had furnished an opin-
ion to the effect that the proceedings
In the Venezuelan courts involving the
asphalt company's properties were so
irregular as to amount practically to
a denial OF justice. Therefore Mr..
Bowen was told to renew his PROPOSE
tion for free arbitration of the issues
between Venezuela and the United
States at the first opportune moment
and this 1T appears he has now done.
If President Castro rejects this last
offer of Mr.. Bowen to arbitrate these
cases it is expected that he will
promptly report the fact to the state
department and it will be determined
what course to pursue. The minis
ter's presentment of this matter, there
fore, is not an actual ultimatum for the
way is still open for further negotia-
tions If the department decides that
the time has not yet arrived TO with
draw its minister and adopt some CO
ercive measures. There is great re-
luctance on the part of the officials to
the adoption of the latter course, but
the situation is believed to be such
that unless the department is willing
to submit to the complete effacement
of the American claims some action
must be taken very soon.
