New York Rapid Transit Service Still | Affected by Strike. New York, March 13.—Although sev- eral d have passed since the local lead of the unions inyolved in the big street railway strike were repu- diated by their national officers and the strikers ordered back to work con- ditions on the affected linesihave not beconie normal, Trains are running on ev branch of the Interborough Rapid Transit company’s system, but on reduced and in some cases irreg- ular schedules. It seems probable now that many of the former employes of the company who went out on strike never will be re-employed. It had been announced that have to return as individuals, that they had forfeited their rights of seniority by their action in joining the strikers and that they would be obliged to ac- cept a lower rate of wages than they had received. Later it was said th: the company had deci on the men over forty years of age.

Retreatingf‘mjd:May Attempt to Fall Tie Pass, March 13—The retréating Russians are nearing their positions here while Japanese detachments con- tinue their northward movement from Mukden. The Russian losses in killed and wounded and captured in the twelve day fight ave estimated at about 150, 000. : It is not apparent whether Kuropat- kin will make his stand at Tie Pass or retire to Haroin. {{St Petersburg, March 13, 4:00 p. m. —According to the latest news from the front, the remant of the Russian army reaching Tie Pass is stillin dan- ger. The Japanese flanking columns are in touch above Tie Pass with a large force in the rear of the retreat- ing Russians. The official figures of the killed and wounded already total sixty five thousand. WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.' The broken Russian army is desper- ately struggling northward after enor. mous losses in men, guns and sup- plies. The rout seems complete and an unofticial report from St. Peters- burg says that™ Kuropatkin has lost 60,000 prisoners. To the east and west of the retreating army the Japa-| nese are closing in and it is apparent that Russia has met with the crowning disaster of the war. icial reports from Tokio say that sands of Russians are. crowded into the district between the railway and the Mukden road, while the Japa- nese are pouring an aunihilating fre upon the demoralized mass. In a dispatch to the emperor Gen- eral Kuropaikin announces that he is in full retreat and adds: “How many are suwrrounded is not known.” On three sides the enveloping Japa- nese arve drawing in their lines and it seems possible that Oyama’s supreme effort to interpose a strong force he- tween the main Russian army and the north may be successful. WITH MUKDEN AS HIS BASE MARSHAL OYAMA DETERMINED TO PUSH NORTHWARD DIRECTION OF HARBIN. IN ‘Washingten, March 13.—With Muk- den as kis new base Marshal Oyama has determined to push northward in the direction of Harbin with a large part of his army in the effort to follow up his recent victory as rapidly as pos- sible and accomplish his one great pur- pose of administering a really crush- ing defeat to General Kuropatkin. This information has reached Washington from an authoritative source and ac- curately sets forth the present pro- gramme of the Tokio war office. After receiving several cablegrams telling of the victories of the Japanese arms around Mukden Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister, although the host at”a brilliant reception which lasted past midnight, was an early vis- itor at the state department, where he had half an hour’s conversation with Secretary Hay. As he was leaving the department the minister was asked what effect, in his opinion, the battle of Mukden would hayve upon the ulti- mate issue of the war. “For us it is but a chapter in the great confiict, though a most impor- tant one,” the minister replied. *It is difficult for me to say how much the baitle of Mukden will contribute toward peace, for overtures for peace must negessarily come from the other side.” f “Will your government suggest peace in the light of Oyama's vic- tory?” the minister was asked as he entered his carriage. “The initiative, 1 repeat, can scarce- 1y be looked for from Tokio,” he re- plied. REPORT FRCM KURCPATKIN 'DOES NOT KNOW. HOW MANY OF HIS SOLDIERS ARE SURROUNDED. St. Petersburg, March 13.—The As- sociated Press learns that the dispatch received by Emperor Nicholas irom General Kuropatkin during the night, in addition to announcing the retreat of the Russian armies, added: ; “Our retreat is being conducted with Back to Harbin the enemy harrassing bothj our flanks. “The Second army under Bilderling has suifered the heaviest both in Kkilled, ‘wounded and prisoners. How many are surrcunded is unknown.” The army was still in danger when Kuropatkin telegraphed, but the sit- uation is better than the public be- Lieves. Over 300,000 Russians Engaged. Tokio, March 13.—The general staff estimates the number of Russians en- gazed in the present battle at 300,000 infantry, 26,000 cavalry and. 1,368 guns. The infantry calculation allows for 876 battalions with an ‘average of BO( men each. JAPANESE OFFICIAL REPORT. Retreating Ruwassians Moving North- ward Under Pressure.

INDIAN CONFESSES TO MURL. Wisconsin Red Man Implicates Others in Crime. ‘Waupaca, Wis., March 13.—Sam Blowsnake, an Indian, has confessed to murdering Kickapau Shopodoc on a farm near Marion in 1903. Shortly before the murder Shopodoc disposed of some land for $1,200 and soon aft- erward disappeared. Four Indians were arrested for alleged murder. Blowsnake says he shot Shopodoc and after -the crime three other Indians assisted in carrying the remains to a swamp, where the burial took place, Blowsnake and three other Indians have been bound over. Congressmen Go to Porto Rico. New York, March 13.—The members of the rivers and harbor committee of the house and their wives sailed dur- ing the day on the.army -transport Sumner for Porto Rico, where they go on a tour of inspection.

St. Petersburg, March 13.—Advices from Samara, Buropean Russia, say | that anarchy is reigning there. The authorities are passive in the~face of the most appalling outrages.

Tokio, March 13. “The full extent of the Rus.dan disaSterais still unknown here: it is known, however, that the castalties’and losses in guns and mu- nitions of war are enormous. Even ap- proximate figures are unobtainable as yet. It is expected that the prisoners will number many thousands. Local estimates of the number taken vary from 20,000 to 50,000. 1 It is not clear yet whether General Kuropatkin planned to stand and hold his line north of the Hun river or re- tire. His action in heavily reinforcing his right in the neighborhood of Muk- den inclines many 'to the belief that he planued to hold the line on the Hun river and attempted to check flank attacks. : By a desperate onslaught the Japa- nese drove a wedge through the line of the Hun river and then, pressing’ northward, practically created a giant cordon around Mukden, hagging a tre- mendous’ force of the Russians by the operation. - Desperate fighting contin- ued during the night, the Russians striving to break the encircling bar- | rier. It is evident that the losses on hoth | sides were heavy, swelling the already | tremendous total involved in the cap: ture of Fushun' and the continuous heavy fighting. * % It is now known that as a result ot the operations Friday, if.the Japanése army succeeds in obstructing the line of retreat between Fushun and Tie pass, but a small fraction of Kuropat- kin’s army will emerge from the dis- aster. SUFFERING HEAVY LOSSES. Russians Continue to Retire North- ward of Mukden. Tokio, "March 13.—The Russian forces are now retiring from Mukden northward. They are flankéd on both sides by the Japanese troops in pur- suit and are suffering heavy losses. The Japanese wedge driven through the Russian center on the Hun river continues to advance north. It has already arrived at Hampu, some dis- tance northeastiof Mukden. It is reported that the Russians are retiring north along the railway, evi- dently very badly confused, being caught between the wedge and the ex- treme Japanese left; northwest of Muls- den. They have been heavily punished during their retréat along-the de- scribed route, the Japanese shelling the disordered masses of the Russians. ALL REPORTS.PESSIMISTIC ABSENCE OF NEWS AT ST. PE EARLY VOTE EXPECTED {SANTO DOMINGO TREATY WILL ~ BE DISPOSED OF BY THE END OF THE WEEK. SENATORS SHOW WUGH INDIFFERENCE NOT LIKELY ANY EFFORT WILL BE NADE TO LINE UP THE OPPOSING FORCES. ‘Washington, March. 13.—Many sen- ators are indulging in speculation as to the length of the session required to' take action on the Santo Dominga treaty and whether party lines will be drawn when the convention comes to a vote. 'Thus far it has not developed that either party will caucus and, in fact, 'so much indiffereice as to the fate of the treaty has been manifest: ed, except in small circles of both par ties, that it is not believed there will be any attempt to line up the forces. Few senators were at the Capitol during the day, but nearly all of those Who were in their committee rooms expressed the opinion that if there shonld not be a line up (and they are agreed that one is not likely) the treaty will be brought to a vote by the end of the week and that the special session may be adjourned sine die on Saturday. The amendment made by Senator Hale terminating the proceedings un- der the treaty at the expiration of ten vears wunless extended by another treaty if adopted will satisfy at least three Republican memb who" have been disposed to vote against the rati- fication of the treaty.

St. Petersburg, March 13.—The cur- tain which shrouds the extent of the Russian disaster at Mukden has not been pierced. Nothing positive is known of the situation, not even Gen- eral Kuropatkin’s own whereabouts. The commander-in-chief's message an- nouncing that all the armies were in full retreat is the last definite word from the battlefield. The absence of news gives fine play to imagination and the city is filled with the most pessimistic reports. The public generally believes that the sit- uation is much worse than is officially adwmitted here. While the military men do not attempt to minimize the Russiar defeat the failure of Tokio to report officially the exact situation affords a glimmer of hope that the position of Kuropatkin’s army is not so black as painted. The fact that 1,200 cars loaded with artillery and carrying wounded men passed north- ward from Mukden ‘during the last ten days is interpreted as giving ground for hope that Field Marshal Oyama's plunder will not be as great as report- ed. The dust storm and the exhausted state of the Japanese armies after their herculean efforts during the ten days’ battle may also have rendered the re- treating army good service. But the main point, namely, how large a pro- portion of the army is surrounded and whether it has been captured or still has a chance to cut its way out is not elucidated. Fverything indicates, how- ever, that Kuropatkin has suffered a catastrophe of the first magnitude. Peace Rumors in Circulation. ‘While the air is full of peace rumors following the Russian .defeat there is undoubtedly necessity” for massing a new army at Harbin®if the war is to be continued. Neither Emperor Nich- olas nor the government have taken a step in the direction of peace and prob- ably they will require several days to’l reach a decision on this point. The report that France has Jalready been asked Lo intervene is, however, posi- tively untrue. The Associated Press is enabled to make the following state- ment; 5 “The mombtnt might Drove oppor- tune.-but the guestion of peace lies with Japan and not with Russia. Rus- sia wouid welcome - peace and peace power but by direct negotiations be- tween the two countries if Japan would propose moderate terms.
