WEARY JAPANESE | munication between Mukden and Har- Russian Troo Difficulti There s still a lack of specific in formation rega z the exact situ tion in Manchuria. The Russian zen- eral stafi, lacking details, is unable to | $ speak authoritatively, while advices | from Japanese sources are signifi- cantly lacking. It is established that | the Russian army is safely at Mukden and that the retreat was accomplishea in good order In spite of the harass- ing Japanese, sodden roads and the fact that Kuropatkin was hampered | by more than 12,000 wounded. s There is nothing yet to indicate the exact whereabouts of the three Jap- anese armies. When last heard from Kuroki's forces were on the Russian left fiank and steadily pushing north- ward, but Viceroy Alexiefl reports that railway and telegraphic com- bin is uninterrupted. Genepal Sakharoff reports that there was no fighting during Thursday and while the outposts are still in contact they are not exchanging shots. A detailed list of Russian losses is promised to-day, and it is expected that these losses will approximate 20,000, as against 30,000 for the Jap- anese. It is officially reported that Kuropatkin has not been wounded. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 10, 1:50 2. m.—It seems to be definitely estab- tished that Field Marshal Oyama’s tired troops abandoned on Wednesday the attempt to head off General Kuro- patkin, whose army has arrived safely at Mukden after frightful experiences floundering through mud and mire over the Manchurian roads. Some de- scriptions of the scenes along the line of retreat are almost incredible. They tell how the men lay down in the mud and slept in a drénching rain. It is evident that the last determined effort of the Japanese to bring Kuro- patkin to bay was made on Tuesday, but the Russian commander in chief faced about and two corps with artil- lery beat off the Japanese, while the remainder of the troops continued te march to Mukden. After that the Jap- anese could only hang on the flanks and try to shell the retreating columns from the hills. The outposts are stiil in contact, but they are not even ex- changing shots. A late dispatch sent to-night from Mukden describes the horrible plight of the tentless and shelterless soldiers. ‘I'he detailed statement of the Russian 1o which it is promised will be issued on Saturday, is awaited with in- tense interest. The general expectation is that the losses will approximate 20,- 000, as against 30,000 for the Japanese. The work of burying the dead was left to the Japanese, who were forced to attempt the task as a matter of self-preservation, but it was an almost impossible undertaking. The awful raine have handicapped the work of cremation, which the Japanese re- lied on, and only shallow trench burials were possible in many cases. Not only is such burial one of great difficulty, but it is almost valueless from a sani- tary point of view, the storms un- doing it soon after it is accomplished. The care of the wounded hgs taxed the hospitais to the utmost. One cor- respondent says that 12,000 wounded bad passed through Mukden hospitals up to Monday and only the most se- vere cases could be attended by the nurses and surgeons. Many, there- fore, had to be left to the rough but well-meant care of their comrades. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 9, 6:20 p. m.—Official news from the front to- day confirms the reports from Muk- den that the Japanese are still resting their main forces, but their outposts are in contact with the Russians. The latter continue to hold Sintsintin, sixty-six miles east of Mukden, and Russian cavalry is operating over a wide area east of Mukden to prevent a Japanese column from slipping and making its way north. The reports that six more army corps are to be mobilized are untrue. As stated in these dispatches, only two corps are mobilizing and at pres- ent there will be no object in mobil- izing more than the railroad is able to transport. The present facilities permit the transportation of a little over one corps each month, but this is expected to be increased in a few days with the complétion of the rafl- road circling Lake Baikal. The War Office promises to give out detailed figures to-morrow in regard to the number of Russian wounded. The press dispatches place the figure at more than 12.000. 25 PRAISE FOR KUROPATKIN.

Japanese and Rus- sians alike have shown ocapacity for sacrifice, contempt for death and utter abnegation of self, in answer to the su- preme demands of patriotism, which have never yet been excelled.” The paper reads a lesson to the Eng- lish people, drawn from the battle, which is to the effect that they must be prepared to fight for existence to an extent not even indicated in the South African war, “when by the lessons of a far greater war.” oS sy SENTIMENT IS CHANGING.

PETERSBURG, Sept. 10, 3:55 a. m.—Intense activity is being displayed by some Russophobic revolutionary or- | ganizations abroad. It seems that they have united In an effort to appeal to all the discontented classes of the Rus- sian population. Incendiary proclama- tions have been smuggled across the border and distributed broadcast in the towns and_ cities, and especially in Pol- ish and Jéwish centers, calling on the population to take advantage of the Government's preoccupation, owing. to the war, to rise against the authorities and overthrow the autocracy. Such propaganda in Russia always results in an increase of violence. The proclamations are addressed to the jews in particular, but the appeals are made to all the heterodox sects, workmen and soclalists, and a new feature is that Special appeals are made to soldiers and peasants. Many of the proclamations have been seized, and it is proved that they have been printed in Lordon. Until now they have met with little response in Russia proper, but tners have beengseveral manifesta- tions in various places in Poland and Southwestern Russia, where the popu- lation is largely Jewish. ————— FIFTH COLUMN IN DANGER. Little Hope for Escape of 12,000 Rus- sian Soldiers. LONDON, Sept. 10.—The Daily Ex- press says it has trustworthy informa- tion that the Russian army is divided into five columns. The first has reach- ed Tie Pass (forty miles nortt of Muk- den) and is preparing to defend that place against the Japanese. The sec- ond is midway between Mukden and Tie Pass. The third is at Mukden. The fourth, consisting of 40,000 men, under General Myendorff, is holding General Kurokl in check by hard fighting twelve miles south of Mukden. ' The fifth, of about 12,000 men, is further south, exhausted by incessant fighting and harassed on’ three sides by the Jabanese, its position being one of ex- treme danger from which it can hardly hope to escape. “Everything now depends,” eays the paper, “on Myendorff's ability to hold Kuroki in check, which thus far has been successfully done.” S e HEAVY RAIN FALLS. Greatest Downpour, of Campaign Oc- curs at Mukden. MUKDEN, Sept. 9.—This evening around Mukden has occurred the great- est downpour of rain of the whole campaign and with it a terrifying ac- companiment of thunder and lightning. There has been the greatest difficulty in preventing the cavalry stampeding and all the horse lines have been tied. One advantage is that the rain has checked the movements of the Japan- ese eastern and southern armies. Quiéet reigns over the whole front. s ESTIMATES LOSSES AT 50,000. Correspondent Tells of the Awful Cost of Linoyang Fight. MUKDEN, Wednesday, Sept. 7, via Peking, Sept. 9.—A correspondent of the Associated Press, who has just re- turned to Mukden with the Russian rear guard after having accompanied the army the whole time since the battle of Liaoyang, says the losses on both sides were enormous. As a mod- erate estimate he places them at §0,- 000. PR O S ANTI-JEWISH DISTURBANOES. Russian Minister of Interior Says Re- ports Are Exaggerated. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 9.—The Minister of the Interior says no re- ports of extensive anti-Jewish dis- turbances in several of the govern- ments of Southwest Russia have been received. The only recent disturb- ance, it is added, was a small affair at Biela, near Kieff, in which no one was killed. ¥ BESLIA LS WILL PAY INDEMNITY. Russtans Will Compensate Owners of Oaptured Colliers. ST.

BERLIN, Sept. 9.—It is said in well informed quarters that the project of sending Prince Frederick Leopold to the Russian headquarters in Manchuria has not been definitely abandoned.

PETERSBURG, Sept. 10.—Now that the battle of Liaoyang is history, officers. of the general.staff are more disposed to discuss some of the circum- stances of the fight, although they lack specific confirmation, making it 1fipos- sible for them to speak authoritatively on many points. General Kuropatkin’s army at Liaoyang consisted of twenty battalions of infantry, 147 squadrons of | cavalry and 700 guns, approximately 108,000 bayonets, 15,000 sabers and 10,- 000 gunners. Portions of two European corps and one Siberian. corps had been left at} Mukden, and a number of these re- serves ‘were brought into the fight. The size of the Japanese army has not been definitely established, but its actual flghting\ force is supposed to have had a superiority in numbers of from 50,000 to 60,000 men and a consid- erable superiority in artillery. One of the advantages possessed by Field Marshal Oyama, according to Russian experts, consisted in the great- er elasticity in movement and in hand- ling, on account of ‘the, separation of the respoctive armies of Generals Ku- roki, Oku and Nodzu. General Kuropatkin very late also in- troduced the same system, after a fash- ion, when he created the eastern and southern armies under the respective commands of Generals Ivanoff and Sa- roubaieff, but these armjés had not been acting independently for mont! while the Japanese armies had been acting separately. On his arrival at the seat of war Lieutenant General Bildering of the Seventeenth Army Corps took over the command of General Ivanoff, who, though a seasoned and tried. com- mander, familiar with his men, with the field of battle and with the tactics of the Japanese, had to give way to a man older in years, but possessing nene of thesé advantages. MISTAKE IN A CHANGE. The change in commanders at such a critical time is regarded as extremely unfortunate. Although it is admitted that the eastern army had to face Ku- roki, who had earned a reputation as tne most skillful of the Japanese lead- ers, the poor showing which it made in comparison with the southern army, perhaps not altogether unjustifiably, might be attributed to this change of commanders, and the battle might have been won if Bildering had been able to duplicate In the east the splendid stand which the southern army made against Oku anpd Nodzu. But Bildering wa¢ twice repulsed. It was the second repulse by the Japanese forces on the Heights of Yental which induced Kuropatkin to order a retreat and there are officers of the general staff who believe that this order was precipitate, holding that if Kuropat- kin had followsi up the offensive on Septemher 2, leaving to Stakelberg, who arrived at Kentai mines in time to support Orloff, the blocking of the sweeping movement, the day might have been saved. These officers are inclined to believe that, like Napoleon and some other of the world's greatest generals, Kuropatkin suffered a tem- porary eclipse of judgment in recall- ing the army corps which had launched against Kuroki and in ordering a re- treat. As it was, they declare, Kuro- patkin's skill reasserted itself and shone brightest in the hour of appar- ent disaster, when, massing his armies along the branch railroad at Yentai, he held thé Japanese in check long enough to enable the south force to pass him and escape northward. The Bubsequent retreat of the Rus- sian army over the terrible roads, har- assed by the determined foe, is re- garded as a brilliant feat by all, but it is undeniable that Kuropatkin has disappointed many of his old admirers, who are unable to forgive the defeat, and who now recall that Kuropatkin's reputation was made as chief of Sko- beleff’s staff and not as a leader of the army. They know how carefully the posi- tion at Liaoyang was prepared, and they have been assured that if Kuro- patkin accepted battle there he would achieve victory. Instead, they say, re- gretfully, hé was outflanked and out- generaled. R o ISR, RUSSIAN POLIOY FIRM. Ministgr of Interior Outlines Plans for the Future, PARIS, Sept. 10.—A St. Petersburg correspondent of the Echo de 'Paris sends an interview which he had with | Prince Peter Sviatopolk-Mirsky, the! new Minister of the Interior, in which the Prince said: “I do not intend to change Russia’s | internal policy, but shall strive to fol-, low the programme set forth in the Czar's manifesto . of February, 1903, working on the foundation laid by my sovereign to inspire my actions by true | and broad literalism, especially as this | will not change the established order | of things.

I received a letter from Sherifft Lucas of Topeka, Kans., several days ago, which stated that Romain had made a confession re- garding the Independence depot and Vindicator mine explosions. I wrote for full details. I have not had an answer to my letter. “I have no details as to whether Ro- main belonged to the Western Federa- tion of Miners, but am of the opinion that before the strike he was a mem- ber of Free Coinage Miners’ Union No. 9 of Altman. He came to the district about a year+and a half ago, shortly after having been released from the Canon City Penitentiary, where he had served a sentence for burglary.” Sheriff Bell added that as soon as he learned something more definite ex- tradition papers for Romain’s return would be asked for and the suspect brought to this city. Romain’s confession was made be- fore County Attorney Hurgate and Sheriff Lucas and sworn to before M. ¥. Laytock, notary p—hlic. Follo- ing are the names of miners whom Ro- main declared were confederated with lim in the dynamiting of the Vindi- cator mine and Cripple Creek depot.

Kennison is now in the County Jail, having. been arrested several weeks ago in Denver. Kennison originally came from the Coeur D’Alene and has been one of the most ardent union men in the district. He was arrested by the military and confined in the bullpen for weeks, gain- ing his liberty by habeas corpus pro- ceedings. James Hicks and Carl Nelson, other men mentioned in Romain’s confes- sion, were United Miners, concerning whom little is known. None of the men mentioned by Romain are in the Crip- ple Creek district excepting Kennison, who will stand trial in November for connection with the Independence ex- plosio CRXEELH CREEK, Colo., Sept. 9.— The men whom Romain implicates with himself in the explosion are for- unions 4n this district.
