ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 5—A dispatch from Kuropatkin, forwarded yesterday evening, indicates that General Kuropatkin’s army and Kuroki's army are racing for Mukden and that the result is in doubt. General Kuropatkin says that the retreat is being conducted in perfect order. The Japanese repeat- edly attacked the Russian rear on Sunday, but in every case they were repulsed.

The result of the race is in doubt. The united Russian forces are now north of Yen- tai, a station on the railway about ten miles northeast of Liaoyang. They are pushing on to Mukden, to which the bulk of Japanese forces is marching direct, after having swarmed across the Taitse River. A strong Japanese flanking column is about thirty miles northeast-of Liaoyang and is trying to get between the Russian forces and Mukden. With this race in progress there comes a brief dispatch from Mukden, saying that preparations for the evacuation of that place are proceeding.

LONDON, Sept. 6.—The race of Gen- | “shattered remnants of his army” to] by censor).—A Russian correspondent eral Kuropatkin for Mukden enthralls | Mukden. He believes that the Mukden | who has arrived here from Liaoyang | the British press and public and mili- tary and other critics scarcely dare venture a brief surmise as to its rey sult. The best opinion inclines to the belief that Kuropatkin will get through | with a respectable remnant of his great army, the thus robbing complete fruits the Japanese of of their victory, but it is realized that the Russians will | not be “out of the woods” for several days. The latest report is that General Kuropatkin is once more in danger of being cut off, and it is believed here to be likely that this report will be repeated several times before the issue y struggle is decided. English military critics base such opin- | ions as they have upon the immense to- pographical difficulties General Kuroki must overcome before intercepting Kuropatkin, who, they hold, has shown ability to take advantage of every phase in the strategy of retreat. If Kuroki now succeeds after failing in the initial attempt he will have accom- plished, in the English view, an almost superhuman achievement. Here it is almost taken for granted that a Japanese occupation of Mukden must quickly ensue, critic supposes that Kurépatkin will dream of making such another at- tempt to stem the Japanese advance as he did at Liaoyang. |HEAVY FIGHTING LOOKED FOR. If the Russians they will, a be lucky. can reach Harbin rding to English opinion, Before that becomes a ques- tion of moment, hc ver, it is ex- pected that desperate engagements must be fought and the Japanese are expected to risk even heavier casual- ties than they sustained at Liaoyang in the final endeavor to annihilate Gen- | eral Kuropatkin, either on the way to Mukden or in the neighborhood of Mukden i f. The fate of General Kuropatkin’s force depends, say the English observers of the struggle, in which they are o vitally interested, upon the Russian general's ability to nfine these efforts to rear guard actions. General praise is again accorded the Russian commander for his temporary | extrication and to the Russian troops for their splendid discipline in defeat. | The military authorities say that if the genius of Kuropatkin and the mor- ale of his men had not been stri ingly brought out in the recent dis- patches there would be scarcely an English paper to-day that would not declare the fate of General Kuropat- kin’s entire force already sealed. Spencer Wilkinson, in the Morning Post, points out that if General Kuro- patkin endeavored to retreat in single column his transport and force would be so large that his first army corps would have been marching three day: before the second could sart to follow it. The railroad is of little u Wilkinson asserts, and he says Kuropatkin must be retreating series of parallel columns, each not larger than one army corps, and be- hind these the rear guard. MUST WORK A MARVEL. “If Kuropatkin can move his army over the thirty miles that separate Yentai and Mukden,” Wilkinson says, “he will break the record for such performances. The Japanese columns will have little difficulty in coming up with his rear guard and engaging it whenever they please.” The Standard says: “For the first time in centuries. Europe has gone down before ‘Asia and Oriental troops have vanquished in fair fighting a western army.” that Yet the paper goes on to reiterate | that the crowning triumph for the mo- ment is denied the Japanese, though Kuropatkin, despite his “extraordinary athievement,” is still exposed to dis- aster. The Daily Telegraph, after declaring that Kuropatkin's operations and the | defense of Port Arthur “stand out as two fine achievements, which have done the most to maintain the prestige of Russian arms throughout a campaign which otherwise has formed a story of terrupted disaster,” adds that the critical moment of the retreat is likely to be reached only when General Kuro- | patkin arrives at the Hun River, some miles south of Mukden. LAST BAR TO SAFETY. “Once across this serious obstacle, the Russian forces will be in sufficient safety, though the passage of the river may be made a terribly expensive oper- ation,” it says. “If the Russian army gets to Mukden in any - considerable force, Japan will have reached the limit of her advantages and, aithough we are convinced that she will main- tain what she has conquered, she will have to face the utmost test in a de- | ;enslve struggle before the truce of ex- tion is forced upon the combat- ants.” The Times believes it is impossible that “the heroic rear guard,” which defended Liaoyang, “has had time to rejoin Kuropatkin, whose long and dangerous retreat” it believes to be seriously menaced. h The military critic of the Times be-,| serVice on both broad-gauge and narrow. lieves' that Kuropatkin must sacrifice his rear guard if he hopes to get the No serious Eng- | to him, | in a | i i | European Russ garrison and other troops will come south to receive “the fugitive army,” but he is still doubtful if “the Rus- sians can shake themselves free from their alert and dangerous foe.” 2 G KUROPATKIN OUTGENERALED Japanese Strategy and Extreme Mo« bility Upset His Plans. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. b.-Ac- cording to the military authorities, all | Kuropatkin's hopes and plans for vic- | tory were dashed by the wonderful | celerity with ‘which Oyama’s right pushed forward after crossing the Taitse River. 'Here Kuropatkin's in- formation-evidently was faulty in be- lieving that he had before him. the whole of the Japanese forces which had crossed over to the .right bank. He had already completed a prelimin- ary bombardment of Kuroki’'s force on ! Friday and was about to strike him when he discovered that another Jap- anese column had crossed the river farther up stream.- This column was marching with great rapidity westward to cut the railroad and close the door on the Russian retreat to Mukden. Just at this point there is a hiatus in the reports. Whether Kuropatkin actually ‘attempted ta deliver a blow against Kuroki is not clear. At all events, if he did he was compelled to desist upon the discovery of the north- erly Japanese column. The latter took him by surprise. General Orloff’s division, which suf- fered severely, had just arrived from Although this divi- into confusion and sion was thrown lost a frightful number of men, the tem v check it was able to give the Japan bably saved the rail- | road for tkin. In the mean- time Kuroki, freed from Kuropatkin, marched hastily westward to intercept General Stakelberg, who was crossing the river from the left bank. It was then that Kuropatkin thought Stakel- { berg’s corps was lost and so reported to the War Office. But Kuroki was too late. Stakelberg not only succeeded in getting his corps across, but marched at high speed thirty miles to Yentai, actually arriving in time to come to the support of hard-pressed Orloff. S S EXPECTS BATTLE AT MUKDEN. Tokio Believes Kuropatkin Will Again Turn Upon His Pursuers. TOKIO, Sept. -A mass of official reports on the battle of Liaoyang reached the imperial headquarters to- day, but they will not be given out until it is possible to put them in order and make from them a connected and detailed story. In the meantime head- quarters is refraining from giving any- thing to the public. It is generally known that General Kuropatkin succeeded, by means of a desperate rearguard action and strong and well handled flank movements, “in withdrawing the great ‘bulk of the Russian army and that he cut bridges to hamper the Japanese pursuit. Critical interest centers in the opera- tions of the Japanese right wing late Friday night and early Saturday morn- ing. General Kuroki then swung to the westward, his movement being de- signed to flank the remainder of the Russians left at Liaoyang itself. It is believed here that General Kuropatkin is bound to lose many prisoners to the Japanese. It is possible, however, that the topographical difficulties and the overwhelming opposition of the Rus- sians may check this movement on the part of General Kuroki. Among the Japanese officers reported killed in the battle of Liaoyang are Lieutenant Teraouchi, son of Lieuten- ant General Teraouchi, Minister of War, 2nd Lieutenants Fukushima and Muratta, both sons of Japanese gen-J' erals. Official figures of the Japanese losses and a list of the trophies captured are expected to reach Toklio to-morrow. It is belteved here that General Kuro- patkin's next stand will be made at Mukden, although there is defensible ground south of there. ;i Field Marshal Yamagata, chief of the general staff, and Lieutenant Gen- eral Teraouchi were the hosts at a ban- quet given to-night in honor of the Liaoyang victory. The guests included the imperial Princes, the members of the Cabinet and the Elder Statesmen, the staff officers of the army and navy departments and chiefs of bureaus. Tokio was {lluminated again to-night and the principal streets of the city, where a series of lantern processions took place, were thronged. RO HORRORS OF THE BATTLEFIELD.

(delayed Extra Ferry Service to Oakland and Alameda * The Southern Pacific will 'give half-hour ferries after 6 o'clock Tuesday and evenings, September 6 and 9, instead of h service, as ordinarily, gives some details of the final assaults on that place. He says: “At the time of the Japanese bom- bardment of the railway station the ambulances were in the rear of the sta- tion, from which it was impossible to move them. A shrapnel shell which burst over the station wounded two nurses, one of whom has since died. ““The hottest fighting was on August 30 and 31, when the repeated assaults of the enemy were all repulsed. The Thir- ty-fourth and Thirty-fifth regiments of the Ninth Division and the Twenty- third Regiment of the Hastern Divi- sion were particularly hard pressed and were several times reinforced. Ammu- nition could not be brought quickly enough, and the men at times actually stoned their assailants. “In many of the companies all of the officers were killed or wounded and the men fought under non-commissioned officers. Many of the Japanese wounded fell into the Russian trenches and could not possibly be removed when the retreat commenced, and had to be abandoned. Qghers, more unfortunate, fell between the lines and we could mot|” bring them in. The Japanese could not remove them, and they lay most of the day and night exposed in the line of fire. Their cries ahd groans, which were heart-rending, could be distinctly heard. Our skirmishers fell on many of them while pursuing the retreating Japa- nese, and when they could gave water to them, but had to leave them to be run over by the succeeding waves of the Japanese attacks. “There was a lull in the fighting on August 31. General Marozovsky, who was on the firing line the whole time, sat down with a Cossack picket in the shelter of the trees for a cup of tea and a biscuit. The Japanese artillery sud- denly swept the woods with their fire and a shell burst, wounding the general in the leg and tearing off his orderly’s Pl AR BLAMES VICEROY AL XIEFF. German Writer Says Reinforcements Were Kept From Kuropatkin. BERLIN, Sept. 5.—Colonel Gaedke, the war correspondent of the Tage- blatt, writing from Liaoyang under date of August 9, declared that it was not the intention of General Kuropat- kin to defend Liaoyang to the utter- most, but to retreat to the next posi- tion, which was said to be Tieling, about sixty miles north of Mukden, which had been strongly fortifted. “The peculiarity of all these posi- tions—Haicheng, Anshanshan, Liao- yang and Tieling,” writes Colonel Gaedke, “is that naturally they are of the strongest, but very weak when fortified and an army sits down pas- sively within them.” Colonel Gaedke says it is possible that- the Russians may retreat even further than Tieling. He writes in the bitterest terms of Viceroy Alex- ieff. He says that the arrival of the imperatively needed troops had been suspended for three weeks, by which General Kuropatkin had been de- prived of at least 75,000 men, which might turn the scale in his favor. Pl 3 0 REPORT OF KUROPATKIN. Message Scnt on Monday Announced Repulse of Pursuers. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 5.—Un- der date of September 5 General Ku- ropatkin telegraphed the Emperor as follows: “The retreat of our troops from Liaoyang, on the right bank of the Taitse River, on the night of Septem- ber 4, was carried out in good order. The enemy’s insignificant attempts at pursuit were stopped by our rear guard. “During September 4 the Japanese strengthened their forces operating against our left flank, extending their lines from the Yentai mines north- ward. The Japanese also on Septem- ber 4 crossed from Liaoyang and its environs.” 4 SIELr P E VON PLEHWE'S SUCCESSOR. Senator Platonoff Appointed Russian Minister of Interior. . ST.

YBNTAI, Sunday, Sept. 4—The Rus- slans evacuated their positions around Liaoyang during the night of Septem- ber 3, crossing the Taltse River and burning the bridges behind them. In the meantime a strong force was hold- ing General Kuroki b.ck from Yentai. During the combined attack on Liao- yang, which commenced on August 30, with Oku attacking from the southeast and General Nodzu from the southwest, | the shell fire was terrific, in one in- stance fifty-six shells bursting at the same tima. infantry attack. They succeeded in reaching the Russian trenches, but were repulsed with heavy loss. The Japanese shrapnel, as a rule, burst too high. On the whole the day went well for the Russians. The Japanese were driven from the villages along the rail- road. On August 31 the shelling commenced at daylight from all sides, but the Rus- sian infantry pressed forward. Late that afternoon the news came that Kuroki was threatening the raiiroad at Yentai and the Russians commenced to retire, enabling the Japanese to bring up two batteries and enfilade the Russian force along the railroad. Dur- ing the night the transport moved into Liaoyang. On ‘September 1 the Russians re- treated from their main position, which formed a circie around the ecity, while the transport crossed the river. At 2 o'clock the Japanese succeeded in plac- ing two gums in position and shelled the railroad station, resulting in many casualties: At the same time the Japa- nese infantry attacked the inner Rus- sian position, but was repulsed. In the evening the Japanese brought up heavy guns and used Shimose powder to shell the Russian town. The Russians held the position until the night of Septem- ber 3, when they retired across the river. On September a strong Russian force was moved east from Yentai to hold Kuroki back. Kuroki attacked it and was repulsed, being driven from his positions on the left. The Japa- nese poured in a terrific shrapnel fire, one shell annihilating two Russian companies. In the evening the Rus- gian artillery, which had been rein- forced, shelled the Japanese position. Kuroki pushed his right forward and got_within twelve miles of the railroad at Yentai. Later he was driven back to his original position. Desultory fighting occurred on Sep- ternber 3 in the vicinity of Mukden.

LONDON, Sept. 5.—No official rep- resentation will be made by the Brit- ish Government in regard to the Jap- | anese-Korean agreement, the text of which was cabled froth Tokio last night, but the authorities are taking a lively interest in the extent of the in- tervention of Japan in the affairs of the herm kingdom. Under the Anglo-Japanese alliance both powers agreed to respect the in- dependence and integrity of Korea and the agreement between Japan and Ko- rea is regarded as an infringement of Korean independence. But it had been expected that if Japan were suc- cessful in the war she would estab- lsh a protectorate over Korea. DOAN’S PILLS.
