CASTORIA For Infants ard Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought e Bt T Siguature of JAPANESE CAPTURE - TOWN AND MAKE ‘Hope for Victory Is Dim in Russian Capital. War Office Clings to Faith in Kuro- Bl ST. PETERSBURG, March B, 2:15 a. m.—That the battle of Mukden will go down in history with Liaoyang in the long list of Russian defeats is the almost universal belief in pessimistic St. Petersburg, which has forgotten the meaning of the word victory. The War Office does not admit that the is- sue of the great battle, which already exceeds in magnitude of operations and losses that of Shakhe, has been decided, although it is positively said in high quarters that Kuropatkin has telegraphed to Emperor Nicholas that it will be impossible to hold Mukden and that the withdrawal of the army northward has already begun. Nothing from General Kuropatkin later than.Monday has been given out, but advices to St. Petersburg newspapers and dispatches dated to 6 o'clock last night indicate that the position of the Russian army after a day of furious and unprecedented fighting is desperate, but not abso- lutely hopeless, some Russian corre- spondents even predicting a Russian victory soon, and one affirming that the extreme Japanese left has al- ready begun to retire southward. Everything probably now depends on General Kuropatkin's reserves. While the Japanese hurled them- selves forward &g every point yester- day, their main energies were behind the blow west and southwest in an attempt to envelop the Russian right and drive a wedge through the line at Madyapu, but General Kuropatkin seems to have been unable to success- fully change the front on the line of his shattered right, aligning from northwest to southwest to protect the rallroad at Mukden, and at nightfall it was reported he was practically holding all his positions. At the same time he was drawing in and shorten- ing his line to the southeast. According to reports all the concen- trated attacks of the\Japanese to the westward failed, and the efforts of Generals Nogi and Oku to pugh their encircling movement north and east- ward across General Kuropatkin's line of communication were blocked. Reports, however, are conflicting. If Kuropatkin has a plan for striking a real blow, upon which, in the opinion of experts, his salvation depends, there is no indication yet of such a purpose. The commander in chief has been con- fining his strategy, as at Liao Yang, to meeting the attacks of the Japanese and accepting battle at places chosen by Field Marshal Oyama. Both sides are terribly exhausted by ten days of continuous fighting, and all the correspondents at the front in- timate that the issue must be decided definitely to-day. At the military clubs here General Kuropatkin is already regarded as beaten, the only question being his ability to execute a retreat. Those who believe there is still a chance of actual Russian victory are few and far be- tween. The majority regard the fight- ing yesterday as in reality a rear- guard action, entertaining no doubt that there will be a heavy withdrawal during the night. These officers, how- ever, are dependent upon practically the same information as the public. No exact figures are hazarded as to the losses, although it is evident that they will exceed those at Liaoyang on both side According to all ac- counts the Japanese who had attack- ed were the heavier losers everywhere except 'n the west. In the matter of supplying food and ammunition the Russians, occupying defensive lines, enjoy a great advantage, prove decisive at the crucial moment, all the dispatches from the front dwell- | ing upon the terrible exhaustion and hunger of prisoners who have been captured. e it HEAVY JAPANESE LOSS. Storming of Gaotu Pass Mikado 2000 Men. ST. PETERSBURG, March 7.—Gen- eral Kuropatkin, in a dispatch dated March 6, says he counted thirty dead Japanese officers and 2000 men in front of the Gaotu Pass position. The Rus- sians buried many bodies. Another dispatch from Kuropatkin, dated March 6, says: “The center is quiet. The Russian flank west of Mukden continues its offensive. The Japanese attempted to occupy a village, name unknown, but were repulsed. The Russian artillery is still maintaining its position on PoutiloffgHill. The Japanese attack on Kandolisan was repulsed after three hours’ fighting. “The Japanese have again attacked the Russian positions at Oubenepusa and were repulsed there and also at Tomaguchen with enormous loss. “A Russian detachment on the left has occupied a defile ten miles east of Kondiatse, driving back a squadron and a half of a company of Japanese, who left their dead and threw away their arms ‘n their flight.” s iz REN NKAMPFF BEATEN. Costs the Japanese Force Russian Left Center to Retreat. GENERAL RENNENKAMPFF'S HEADQUARTERS, OUBENPUZA, Monday, March 6 (midnight).— Events took an unfavorable turn for the Russians this evening. After a day of marked succession of deter- mined attacks the Japanese ousted the ! Russians from an important positton on the left center of the eastern army. The Japenese are also pressing the right center hard. The Russians have been ordered to retake the position at any cost. There were heavy losses to-day on both sides. DEFENSE OF FUSHUN, TOKIO, March 7.—The greatest | 1 concentration of the Russians defend- ing Fushun seems to be along the | line from Tieta to Manchuntan. Gen- eral Kuropatkin continues to reso- | lutely defend the Russian position at | Fushun. The operjtions in that vi- | cinity do not indichte whether Ku- | ropatkin intends to fight or retire, but { he must hold Fushun td protect the army on the Shakhe River. which may | | RUSH FOR - —_— & Mikado's Men Sterving Continued From Page 1, Column 1. morning. On the fourth attack the Japanese were temporarily successful in driving out the Russians and rushed directly toward the fleld kitchens, where the morning meal iwag being prepared, and com- menced to bolt the food. The Rus- sian troops, however, with a shout of “Save our dinner, brothers,” fell upon the Japanese like a hurricane and drove them out of the village at the point of the bayonet. JAPANESE STARVING. A captured Japanese said they had nothing to eat since Sunday and that they had been told this morning either to capture the Russians’ dinner or starve. At Erdagou, on the center, a regi- ment of Chasseurs made a night at- tack, but the Russians were caught by the Japanese flank-and many of them { were killed, fifty being captured. At Bentsiaputze the Japanese stormed as far as the wire entangle- loss. An attack on the east front early this morning resulted in the capture of several Japanese positions near : Oubenepusa and the seizing of two Japanese quick-fire guns. The Japanese made a counter at- tack and a long and desperate strug- gle ensued, the Russians capturing a third quick-fire gun and holding the positions. The cannonading in the neighbor- hood of Tatchekiao is now increasing in intensity. The Japanese apparently have brought up reinforcements and are attempting to erush General Corn- 08S. The Japanese are bringing up sup- plies by the Sinmintin road and ap- parently are using the railroad as a line of communication. s i g WITTE MAY RESIGN. President of Russian Council of Min- isters Is Dissatisfied. BERLIN, March 7.—The Lokal An- zeiger's St. Petersburg correspondent says that M. Witte, president of the Council of Ministers, has tendered his resignation to the Emperor on the plea that the latter has evinced a lack of confidence in him. SENATORS SHY AT THE TREATY WASHINGTON, March 7.—Without determining any question of policy in regard to the Santo Domingo treaty, | the Senate decided to-day that the treaty should be reported as soon as possible from the Committee on For- eign Relations and the entire question fought out in executive Session. This was the sentiment of the Foreign Rela- iflons Committee as well as the Senate |and In two sessions of the committee the proceedings were with a view to reporting the treaty to-morrow if pos- | sible. The amendments offered in the com- mittee were conflned to a reduction of an alleged surplusage of words. They were offered verbally and taken down by a stenographer. They are to be printed and considered when the com- mittee meets to-morrow. By a tacit | understanding the policy involved in the treaty was not taken up by the committee and it was understood that the action in submitting amendments in this manner did not commit any Senator to support the treaty. The programme was merely to facilitate ac- tion and remove all chance of its being made a party question in the commit- tee. The prompt action of the Foreign Relations Committee undoubtedly will result in a much earlier decision in the Senate. Nearly every Senator who dis- cussed the treaty to-day expressed a desire that the measure be kept from becoming a party question. To pre- vent this Senator Bacon offered to withdraw his resolution concerning the protocol of an agreement entered into between the United States in January, 1903, in reference to the Santo Domingo Improvement Company's claim and modify it. When he again offers it the resolution will be general in character and will ask that the Foreign Rela- tions Committee inquire and report whether the Executive had the author- ity to make an .agreement by which the United States take charge of the customs of another country. i g iy IN COMMITTEE'S HANDS. Santo Domingo Protocol Amended Only in Minor Way. WASHINGTON, March Committee on Forelgn Relations for- mally took up the Santo Domingo pro- tocol to-day, it having been referred to the committee in executive session lot the Senate yesterday. The treaty was read carefully and amendments | were offered for the purpose of cor- recting the phraseolofy, but not di- rected at the policy involved in the document. It was proposed to strike out the words in the protocol which 1seemed to define the Monroe doctrine, this being regarded by a number of Senators to be superfluous. Other ver- bal amendments were offered, but they did not affect the purpose of the treaty. —_——— MOTHERS' CONGRESS WILL i BE LARGELY ATTENDED Delegates From Twenty States to Be Guests, of Mrs. Roosevelt at ‘White House.

March 7, noon.—The Japanese gt 2 o'clock this morning at- tacked a Russian position on the Hun + Rivér from Machiapu. The artillery !fire has been continuous and shifted (northward after daylight almost to the Sinmintin road, from which wounded and Chinese refugees are ar- riving. Fighting is heard also far to the northward. Numbers of wounded Japanese along the Sinmintin road have been brought in and cared for. 1 MUKDEN, March 6 (Delayed iIn transmission).—The sixth day of the! battle on the Russian right flank raged with undiminished vigor ' from dawn till dark. The Japanese made good their position at Tacha and pushed the contest north to Sin- mintin the same as on Saturday. Feur | miles from the main battle lne, ' though apparently nearer, as was the | case in the battle of Liaoyang, the semi-circular positions where the bat- tle is progressing now are so near that the whole of them are accessible from Mukden in a day’s march. The losses already exceed those in the battle of Liaoyang on the Russian' side and the Japanese are supposed to have suffereq much more, though this does not seem to shake the Jap- | anese tenacity, for at noon to-day they attacked Yenhsitun, advancing their infantry and provoking a coun- ter attack, which was first reported to | have resuited in Russian infantry oc- cupying Yenhsitun. About\ 2 o’clock ! in the afternoon, when the artillery battle increased furiously, shells set fire to many buildings, the smoke from which joined a dust storm and shrouded the vast plain in clouds. The appearance of this region, which has now been two davs under firé, begins to resemble a siege. Graves are increasing in number, while dead animals strew the ground. The troops have been seven days without rest and their powers of endurance are declin- ing. They plainly show the strain of the terrible week. The ground is deeply frozen. i The Japanese continue to flank the Russian position. One Japanese divi-, sion is known to have extended to Beling. 3 The Japanese maintained a frontal attack Sunday night, having attacked Shakhe, Erdagou and Huantai and the extreme east, where they are again advancing.) The center remains Russian, but on the southwest the Russians are falling back on their second position. The army on the right wing is now thrown back on the Russian settle- ment, converted it into a great metropolis. At night long trains of lighted cars are to be seen extend- ing in all directions on improvised railways to camps where three days ago there was nothing but bare fields. In magnitude the present battle prom- ises to about equal the battle of Shakhe River. ol TWO MILES OF MUKDEN. Kuroki Says Fight Will Last Several | Days Longer. | GENERAL KUROKI'S HEAD- | QUARTERS IN THE ELD, March ' 7, via Fusan (delayed in transmis- sion.)—The tenth day of the Japanese | attack finds the battle progressing fa- | vorably. Its long duration was ex- pected and it will probably continue several days more before it is con- cluded. The Japanese forces have reached nearly to Mukden, within two miles of the railway, and are bom- barding strongly. The Russians everywhere are mak- ing a desperate resistance, frequently trying offensive operations and ar- ranging every defensive device of mod- . ern warfare. ¢ The fighting resembles a siege more than a field battle. The past two nights | there has been hgrd fighting in front | and east of Witpsan. The infantry | were closely engaged while the Rus-| sian batteries shelled the trenches and star shells were used to illuminate the | battlefield. Hand grenades are em-| Moyed freely in close fighting. Last night the Russians attempted to break the Japanese line by crossing the | river west of Witosan, but they werei repulsed. This afternoon Red Cross flags were raised in order that the wounded lying on the slopes and between the hills north of the river might be collected. Judging by the long processions of ambulances traveling northward the Russians have many wounded. WO HOLD TP AN ARMED GANG "Spectal Dispatch to The Call. GLOBE, A.

WASHINGTON, March 7.—Captain George W. Kirkman, Twenty-fifth In- fantry, who is being tried by court- martial at Fort Niobrara, Neb., on charges of scandalous conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, has tendered his resignation as an officer of the army, and the ques- tion of its acceptance is under consid- eration by the President and Secre- tary of War.
