Japanese Crossed Hun Near Fuchau,
 OutnankinG Russian Left.
 LONDON. March 4.-According to the latest information from the seat of war, the fighting along the whole line south of Mukden is now general and of the most desperate character. The losses have been exceedingly heavy on both sides. Although it Is not officially admitted. it is regarded as certain that General Kuropatkin is directing all his efforts to the withdrawal of his army to Tie pass.
 It is now practically rear guard ac- tion, but the task of extricatlng him. self is proving very difficult.
 The Japanese have not only driven in his left. but column is already re- ported to have crossed the Hun river cast of Fuchau. At the same time the Japanese are pressing the Russian cen ter under cover of the fire of their siege guns. and General Kuropatkin is gradually retiring before the Japanese advance.
 No ofhcial figures regarding the loss e are obtsinable. but according tJ un- official reports the Russian losses are nearly 1000 men.
 The wounded are streaming through Mukden northward. Great confusion prevails in that city. every means of transport out of Nukden being used.
 A Tokyo dispatch says that both wings of the Russian army have been crumpled up toward.Mukden. the Jap anese pressing hard on the Russian center. and kuropstkin is believed fo be in retreat to Tieling.
