of the J ipanese legation tod y states
"We are not too sanguine and hardly
believe that General Ay ma will be
able to surround General Kuropatkin
and compeiPbim to surrender. It is
too much to expeet that we will be
able to surround a half a million of
men, and we think it probable that
General Kuropatkin will be able to
out his way through and esoape with
suiill parties. Neither do we think
that the occupation of Mukden will be
sufficient to end the war, but we are
certain .iow that wljeu peace doer

to accept any term that the Japa
