Troops, guns and munitions of war have been mcving southward for two months. Between the middle of January and ‘the middle of February ! fifty-six military trains, mostly carry- ing artillery, arrived at Tashkend. | The guns were sent from Merv, | whence a purely military line goes to | Kursk. The traveler in question was | informed, although he had no personal | knowledge on the point, that Russian troopas had crossed the Pamirs through | Terek Pass and garrisoned Kashgar. | The Orenburg-Tashkend railroad was so cruwded that the traveler was forced to return by way of Krasnovodsk. The press informant states that the greatest secrecy is observed. Travel- ers, who are rare, must be provided with special permits from the Minister of War, and are kept under the closest surveillance The baggage of this trav- eler was twice seized and searched, al though his papers were regular. It is significant that local officials have been ordered not to permit Eng- lishmen to travel in Russian Turke- an, and captains on the Caspian have wen forbidden to allow. Englishmen to land on the eastern shores. At Krasnovodsk the informant of the L press was told that two English officers who had been traveling in disguise were languishing in prison. Speaking generzally, the press inform- ant said that ‘the greatest tranquillity prevatled in the Turkestan region..

PARIS, March 9.—The Temps dis- patch of yesterday from Madagascar announcing that Admiral Rojestven- sky's entire squadron was returning to Jibutil, French Somaliland, is not yet officially confirmed, but it is generally accepted as being a fact and appears to be coincident with Russia's cancel- ing large orders for supplies and the munitions to be forwarded to the Rus- sian second Pacific squadron. Rus- slan officials here recently discussed the probability of the squadron turn- ing back. It was pointed out that the principal missionh of Rojestvensky ended with the fall of Port Arthur..

LONDON, March 9.—Count Benken- j dorf, the Russian Embassador to Great - Britain, to-day paid $325,000 to For- ! fresh from Japan, and without food! The combat is fast reaching a point where it is a question not so much of turning columns, o tactics and of strategy as of whose strength, energy and cartridges will last the longer. Gray-coated Russians, patient, un- complaining, strong of soul, clung dog- whose attacks go to the very point of insanity and desperation. ¥or forty- elght hours the Japanese have not eaten. They are starving and ex- hausted, but Field Marshal Uyama himself has told them that the ecity will fall and the slaughter stop on kri- day, and their confidence in their leadel increases their strength tenfold. On Wednesday, when the Russians took Ushuntum, a few dozen Japanese clung to the thick walled temple and refused all overtures to surrender. Cannon were brought up and breached the walls, but the daredevil courage of the defenders continued under the fire, and finally, when defense was hopeless, they blew themselves skyward with the ruins of the temple. One sur- vivor, rather than surrender, threw himself into a stone-rimmed well and - perished. JAPANESE RACING NORTHWARD. Stern Oyama drives and drives his troops northward to encircle the city. With every fresh tianking movement the fron band closes nearer the rail- road, and under this menace the First and “Third armies were forced last night to abandon the mighty fortifica- tivns on the Shakhe river, give up the impregnuble Poutiloff hill and retire _to the line of the Hun river. To-day the Japanese are pushing their columns’ north and northcast, bombarding villages which are keys of the defense and hurling men, some of ‘them veterans of the year's cam- paign and others middle-aged reserves against Russian Dositions. Often they are repulsed and sometimes they master the advanced line, but at enormous cost. Individuals and small parties have reached the railroad, cut the telegraph eign Secretary Lansdowne in settle- ment of the North Sea c¢laims and the inncident was thus closed. { PN 5 SR TS H Kaiser Praises Brown Warriors, BERLIN, March 9.—Emperor Wil- liam, addressing the naval recruits at | Wflhelmlhhv]a;hto-dly. :‘q‘t up zl;g Japanese . soldiers as luminous = amples of patriotism and soldierly | fidelity. : % THREE PARTIES UNITE ON MUNICIPAL TICKET 1 = wires and dislodged a few rails, but the damages were gquickly repaired and the perpetrators usually killed or wounded.

' FIGHTING NEAR TOMBS. MUKDEN, Wednesday, March 8, 10 a. m.—An artillery fire is now being directed from the vicinity of the an- cient northern tombs against the Jap- anese forces which are crowding to the | rallway, where additonal troops are { assembled to meet this contingency. i literally covered by soldiers and mili- tary accounterments. The entire south front is now retir- ing, in confurmity .with a plan formu- lated upen the consequence of = the day's fighting, and the Japanese, ap- prehending the movements, are them- selves rushing northward around the i Rusaian right. Preceding the retivement last night the heavy firing, which extended along the entire south front, was for the first {time audible at Mukden throughout the entire night and increasing with the day as it avproached the west and Morth. It ought tc be impossible now for the Japanese to turn the Russians from the Hun River position, but the {issue appears to depend entirely upon | the extension of the battle line north- ward and up the railway. COST OF THE DEFEAT. The evacuation of the Shakhe posi- tion involved several hundred miles of | fleld and overland railways and tele- graphs, enormous defensive works, Red Cross supplies, fuel and towns, forage stores, the latter of which it was necessary to burn. The military roads covered 500 square miles. The smoke of battlé and fires are every- ‘where obscuring the lines and it is im- pessible to longer distinguish the con- 1l tions. e hospitals here are now crowded, fbut: the service continues adequate. ing among the wounded and the sup- and reserves, who are obliged to dig deep on the wide, shelterless plain and lie widely extended in order to !escape the shrapnel which is sown 3 cast for fifteen miles on the west, W all the troops on nearly ninety miles of battle line constantly ex- i EN, , - March 8, In the flelds watchfires are burning. | The narrcw strip west of the railroad is | A i WEIRD NIGHT REVIEW.

NEWCHWANG, March 9.—It is re- ported héfe that Tie Pass has been in- vested by the Japanese and that Gen- eral, Kuropatkin, having no alterna- | tive, will probably be forced to sur- render within a week. General Nogi's {army made a forced march of twenty- five miles daily and, acting in con- : Junction with General Oku's army, surrounded 80,000 Russians in the di- | rection of Tie Pass and cut off their | supplies.
