i. UN. ARMY CORPS i I BOUT OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY IN FAR EAST IS COMPLETE BUT FIGH'liNG CONTINUES. Demoralized Russians are Retreating in the Greatest Disorder for the Hill Country. I Tokio, Mrch 11. Fushun has boen occupied by the Japanese Fighting continues on the heights north of Fushun. Newchwang, ftarch 11. According 'to reliable inforimiUon received here,1 the Russians have been driven out ot llukden and Fushun and with the railroad cut are retreating in a deraor , alizcd condition to the hill country towards the northeast. I ' Detached bodies of Russians are (roughly entrenching with a view to checking the pursuit, but no great1 rear guard action Is being fouslit. It will be impossible for the Rus sians to keep any sort of resistance for many days, as there are no means lot provisioning In the rough country to which they are retreating. ! It is believed that the Russians may attempt to roach Kirln, 225 miles northeast of Mukden, through the valleys, but a special Japanese corps from the direction of the Yalu river ( threatens to cut them off. I General Kuroki Is advancing north west and! Is forcing the Russians against General Nogl's army. I The casualties on both sides have ' .been enormous. The Russian Six- i teenth army corps was practically j annihilated at Tatchcklao. Eight thousand Russians fell at Leukuan pao. 1 Terrific Fighting at Diushantun. Mukden, March 11. The Japanese B pushed up from the south across the I abandoned plain between the Shukhe . and Hun rivers and are about five : miles south of the latter, and from the Hun, opposite Machfapau, and northward, Japanese batteries are pouring In a ceaseless fire. The Jap naese succeeded in ein placing Blege guns and mortars at Diushantun. araout Bix miles west of this city. Diushantun was the scone of the bloodiest and most desperate fight ing of all this terrible buttle. Its pos session was vital to the Japanese, who stormed It again and again. Tho Russians dislodged them, but the Jap anese finally recaptured the village after much hand-to-hand fighting. Eyewitnesses say the (lead scatter ed in the streets, courtyards and , houses bave been unburled four days. Rifles and other arms lie about wrenched and twisted. Hand gren ades were thrown by the Japanese and the garrison was subjected to the concentrated fire of as many as a hundred guns. Once Diushantun is in .their hands the Japanese can train guns on tne niiiKacn rauroaci station and it has been held at frightful cost. The Japanese arc also concentrating their efforts about seven mites north of Mukden and about five miles west of the railroad, with the object of breaking through and cutting off the surrounding troops below.

M March 11. All Santa Fe trains for the west are held at this point indefinitely. Heavy ruius to the west and faouth have swollen nil streams along the Santa Fe-Pncillc and the Rio Grande divisions of the Santa Fe, and the lino is badly crip pled. The big blue water dam on tho Rio San Jose and the Cubero dam on the same stream have gone out and the floods have played havoc with the San ta Fe tracks, which closely parallel that stream for nearly two miles. The huge steel bridge at Rio Puerco sta tions, where the railroad crosses the Rio Puerco, buttressed with immense stono walls and piers at enormous cost a year ago, is so badly damaged that It Is Impossible to get trains across it, and it is feared the bridge may be entirely swept away. - The track along the Rio Grande, near La Joya, south' of this city, near the confluence of the Rio Puerco with the Rio Grande, Is badly damaged, large stretches being completely wash ed away. The company has ordered several carloads of sncks of sand to this point to prevent more serious damage. Five hundred Indians and Mexicans are at work at Rio Puerco to save the bridge and get the track open for business. A Chicago Alderman Oivs Ills Elcc tion to Cliamb.-ilaui's L'outrli Kmieily.

HELD VICTIM WITH IRON HOOK, Blacksmith Given a Terrific Drubbing by a Cripple. , Salinas, March 11. Sherman Stark ey, a man who has escaped conviction on many felony charges, through legal technicalities, is under arre3t for an alleged unprovoked assault on Wil liam Gllsen, a blacksmith. The at tack on Gllsen, which took place Tues day night, was witnessed by a number of citizens of King City, who started some talk of lynching Starkey. Gllsen passed Starkey near tho Odd Fellows Hall, when Starkey hailed him. Gllsen went back to see what was wanted, when Starkey, without a word of warning, struck him In tho jpw close to the jugular vein with an Iron hook, which Starkey usob in place of an amputated left hand. His vic tim, clinging to the hook with both hands, was dragged Into range for close work and Starkey struck him with his right hand uutil he dropped to the ground from loss of blood. Starkey has the reputation of being a dangerous man. Besides his alleged connection with the Mnfia gang, of which Peter Castro, now in San Quen tin, was the leader, he is accused of many petty offenses. He killed a man In Castrovlllo a few years ago, escaping on a plea of self defense. Comparatively a short time ago he escaped prosecution on a bur glary charge. Women's Kidney's.

St. Petersburg, March 11.

Patterson, night policeman, of Nashua, Iowa, writes: "Last winter I had a bad cold on my lungs and tried at least a half-dozen advertised cough medicines and had treatment from two physicians without getting any benefit. A friend recommended Foley's Honey and Tar and two-thirds of a bottle cured mc, I consider it the greatest cough and lung medicine in the world." GLOOMY AT CAPITAL1 WORST FEARS ENTERTAINED ARE CONFIRMED BY RECEIPT OF LATER DISPATCHES. St. Petersburg, March 11. Tho dis patches of the Associated Press from Tokio and Yinkow announcing that Mukden had fallen and that the Jap ancse had captured thousands of prisoners and enormous quantities of I stores and prims only confirmed tho worst foars entertained here, the dis patches of the Associated Press re ceived the night before having shown that tho trap was sprung. The announcement furnished a mis erable end to the Russian carnival week. The war office has little consolation to offer tho pitiful inquirers for news. The papers are filled with long lists of those killed in the earlier days of the fighting and the churches are crowded with wives, mothers and sis--tors praying that their loved ones may be spared. j At last all classes seem to have join ed in the common grief. Ali hone of Kuropatkin waiting for j an opportune moment to strike and i convert defeat Into victory has been abandoned even by the military crit ics, and the papers in a dolorous strain chronicle the last and worst reverse to the Russian arms. The only con solation they find is that the Russian troops have been conquered by a won derful foe, declaring there is some thing uncanny about the desperate ex pedient which the Japanese success fully employed at Diushantun, when, during the storm the Japanese lines actually faced about, practically fir ing Into their own reserves, deceiving the Russians and backing into the Russian wire entanglements before the ruse was discovered. History, military men say, does not parallel such desperate fanatical valor. The papers at the same time are filled with recrimination. Russian diplomacy is blamed for not Including in the theater of operations the territory weHt of the Slnminttn road, which Field Marshal Oyama used to accomplish hla bold turning movement, and criticism 1b heaped up on Kuropatkin. The Russ, however, while admitting Kuropatkln's failure as a strategist, Insists that the responsibility should not be shouldered by him alone. A Safe Cough Medicine for Children.
