ARMY AT TIE PASS
C0LDIER8 IN RETREAT ARRIVE
FROM MUKDEN DEMORALIZED.
Reported That Japanese Army Is
Making Wldo Turning March North-
' vvard Correspondent Tells How
Battle of Mukden Was Won.
London, March 14. The Russian
fcciiiTHl stuff report that "the main
hotly has already completed Its re
treat ami the rear guard southward
are falling back slowly." What eith
er the "main body" or the "rear
uard" consists of has not been defi
nitely fixed, but rrom the dispatches
lrom the Associated I'ress correspond
ents with the Japanese and Russians,
Hie two combined must bo but :i small
portion of the army which General
Kouropatkin had gathered along the
banks of thu Shakhe and Hun rivers.
jnd yet those who hnvo reached Tie
pass, worn out from days or lighting
and retreating, are not out or danger,
the Japanese, it Is reported, having
already started another turning move
ment which will force the Russians
onto the plains north or Tie pass,
where, In their disorganized state,
thoy would bo easy prey for the victory-Hushed
soldiers or the mikado.
The men who escaped aro strengthen
ing the fortifications In Tie pass, but
It Is hardly possible that the pass can
be held in the race or the overwhelm
Jug forces opposed to the Russians,
and it Is hot likely that Oyanm will
rest Batlslled with his victory at Muk
den, aB ho did after Lino Yang. There
will be no uneasiness as to the food
supply as long ns communications are
maintained to the northward, as largo
bands or cattle roam the plains under
Cossack herders and every station on
tho railway Is a huge commissariat
department.
As to tho losses, General Kouropat
Itln now admits that 50,000 wounded
were carried on" the Held. This, with
the 211,500 dead lea on tho field, the
40,000 prisoners and the wounded left
In the hospitals, comes somewhat
nearer tho latest Japancso estimate
that tho total Russian losses were
155,000. At this rate Kouropatkin
cannot have more than 100,000 effec
tive fighting men, with him. The
army of General Llnevitch seems to
Lave made tho best retreat, but tills
no doubt was duo to tho stubborn
fight made by General Reunenkampft
on his extreme left and the equally
Heroo resistance or General Kaulbara
on the right, tho latter general losing
28,000 men. Neither tho army or
Knulbars nor or Reuneukampir has
yet. been accounted for by the (Its
patches. After his defeat around thu
western tombs, Knulbars, finding his
retreat directly northward cut off,
made a detour to the eastward, where
lie was still lighting at last accounts.
Rennenkampl'f must, also still bo in
the hills to tho eastward, as It took
tho Associated I'ress courier three
days to reach Tie pnss. The Japa
nese report tho capture or twenty
four guns, sixty-six in all, a rather
-small number considering the de
cisive defeat and the number of men
captured.
The Japanese losses have been re
markably light In view or tho length
und severity of tho lighting.
The Associated Press correspondent
with General Kurokl's army tells how
the battle of Mukden was won. The
llnsslan general was deceived as to
where the blow was to bo struck and
after massing his forces on tho Japa
nese loft, round, when too late, that
his right was tho objective or the
Japanese.
BELIEVE PEACE ISNEAR.
Diplomats Predict Cessation of Hos
tilities Soon.
Washington, March 14. When the
czar calls his war council today he
will be able to infoim them that the
Japanese will welcome peace on rea
sonable tortus and will promptly name
nor conditions, provided she receives
trustworthy assurances that they will
bo seriously considered. This the em
peror has learned from friendly chan
cellories in Europe, as well as the
general terms acceptable to Japun.
' Those, It is said, include tho reten
tlon by Japan of Port Arthur, a Jap
anese protectorate over Korea and an
indemnity. From a high oillcial the
Associated I'ress hears that Russia
has recalled her second Pacific squad
ron. An attacno ot ltussian embas
sy in Europe Is quoted as expressing
the belief that Kouropatkln's recent
dercat will force Russia to ask for
peace.
Briefly, these were the reports cur
rent In the diplomatic corps and as a
result or this Important Information
official Washington believes that Rus-
That Is one thfng for which trio wat
will be fought to the end. Victory for
the Russian arms will alone make for
pence."
At tho Japancso legation It Is de
clared that St. Petersburg and not
Toklo Is the cnpltal rrom which tho
world must hope for peace proposnls.
Mr. Takahlra, the Japanese minister,
Enid in the most emphatic manner
that Japan had not directly proposed
pence. He did not deny that neutral
powers, through the envoys, from
time to tlmo had sounded Japan as
to the terms on which she would no
cept peace, but theso. he said, neces
sarily changed with the progress of
hostilities, the Intimation being that
U'tssla could have obtained better
terms after the fall or Port Arthur
than after the capture of Mukden. H
tho Japanese government were as
sured that peace proposals would bo
considered by Russia, there Is author
ity for tlio statement that Japan
would respond immediately. Rut sho
will Insist that these assurances shall
bo of tho most positive character. Ja
pan's experience In the negotiations
preceding the war, it. Is said, will
make her exceedingly cautious In tho
future. Sho wl',1 Insist that such as
surances shall como rrom tho Rus
sian government and not rrom tills or
that party or this or that friend or
tho emperor.
London, March 15. By delay In
pressing his pursuit ot Russia's de
feated and demoralized army to Tic
pass, Field Marshal Oynma has af
forded General Kouropatkin time to
sort out tho disorganized units of his
command and restore his forces to ai
loast a semblance or order. So far
as known there Is no considerable
force of Japanese nearer Tie pass
than six or eight miles, but in Rus
sian quarters there is a feeling of ap
prehension that some turning move
ment, of which there Is no 'definite in
formation, Is In progress. From Japa
nese sources It is reported that many
straggling parties or Russians, cut oiT
rrom their commands In the retreat
from Mukden, are surrendering upon
tho appearance of tho Japancso troops.
Tho council of war summoned by Em
peror Nicholas Is reported to have de
cided that the war must bo carried
forward. Tho all-important question
of financial means, however, Is said
to have reached no solution, the situ
ation being complicated by tho report
ed decision of French capitalists not
to negotiate the loan recently offered
by St. Petersburg. The probability as
regarded in St. Petersburg seems to
bo that when General Kouropatkin
has completed tho task of reorganiz
ing what Is left or his army, ho will
bo permitted to return to Russia ael
that tho command In Manchuria will
he entrusted to General Stikhoinlimoff,
whose war apprenticeship was served
under General Drngomlroff, who has
been regarded as the foremost of Rus
sia's scientific soldiers. It Is possible,
however, that tho command will go to
Qrnnd Duke Nicholas Nicholalviteh.
The peasant movement Is spreading
to tho northwest provinces. Serious
disturbances are reported in the prov
inces of Vllna and Kovno. where tho
estates and property of the govern
ment officials and others have been
sacked and burned.
the army and nnvy as may be In
curred by carrying out the provisions
of the treaty shall bo paid from tho
revenues of Snnto Domingo. This
amendment was pending at tho time
the senate adjourned.

cott of this city has been advised that
a fire has destroyed his corral and
1,500 head of sheep at Chester, Chou

have been of Incendiary origin and to
have resulted from differences be

Effort to Be Made to Get Rid of San
to Domingo Treaty This Week.
Washington, March 14. Tho senate

when tho treaty was taken up In
executive session. For more thnn an
hour the senators discussed ways and
Trains on New York Subway More
Irregular Than Last Week.
Now York, March 11. Tralllc on all
the elevated roads and in tho subway
was handled in a manner that failed
to give adequate satisfaction during
tho rush hours. It seemed that the
peoplo had forgotten tho conditions
that obtained last week. They crowd
ed elevated and subway stations,
fought to board expresses and avoid
ed front and rear curs. Service In the
subway was Irregular and nt all sta
tions tho police and employes were
rendered nlmost helpless by the
crowds on the platforms. A number
of the old employes have been rein
stated and they were given charge of
the expresses, but tho Irregularity of
the locals, run by strike breakers, ren
dered the efforts to improve tho serv
ice fruitless. Over 1,000 strikers have
been given their old positions and tho
company Is considering the applica
tions of many others. Several minor
accidents occurred during tho day.
