PILLAGE DURING RETREAT
Kuropatkin Lost 70,000 Killed and
Wounded Before Retreat Most
Deadly Fighting Was at
Likampu, Near Railroad.
GENERAL OKU'S HEADQUARTERS,
Saturday, March 11, via Tlnkow, March
16. Prom information received from Rus
sian prisonersand residents of Mukden It
is estimated that General " Kuropatkln's
forces at the beginning- of ,the battle of
Mukden consisted of over 4SO.O00 men.
His loss in kHled and -wounded before
March 10 is estimated at 70.000. X early all
his wounded "were" removed ' norjh before
the railway -was cut. Less than 1000 re
main in the Russian hospitals at Mukden.
Three hundred Japanese -were found in.
these Russian hospitals also.
Reports as to the number of prisoners
captured are yet Incomplete, but it la
thought they -will reach into the thou
sands. Over 2000 were captured in Muk
den, including the -wounded. The Rus
sians set fire to the stores and the rail
way station, but they -were only partially
destroyed. The Japanese saved great
Quantities of flour and other supplies.
Many building? in the Russian settle
ment -were burned. The Chinese fired
them when the Russian retreat began,
supposedly for the purpose of robbery.
Many outrages were committed in the
Chinese city during the retreat, according
to the stories told. It is said that Coe
, sacks murdered two Italian merchants
because they refused to give them money.
The Japanese are investigating v all re
ported outrages.
The work of clearing the second army's
battlefield west of the railway began in
earnest today. The bodies of the Rus
sians are being hurled and those of the
Japanese dead are being cremated.
The battlefield, especially In the vicin
ity of Likampu, five miles west of the
railway presents a terrible sight. Fully
2000 bodies are still lying on the field. This
locality was the scene of the fiercest fight
of the left armies. A division of Japanese
attacked Likampu and a small village to
the south and drove the Russians out,
inflicting much suffering and serious loss.
The Russians, on being reinforced, coun
ter attacked the village in turn, driving
out the Japan eso and Inflicting enormous
loss. The Thirty-third Regiment, south
ot the village, was practically annihil
ated, receiving in front and on the flank
an artillery fire before the infantry at
tack. The Japanese were greatly outnumbered
when the attack began, and their dead
were plied in heaps behind the low mud
walls of the village. The Russian dead
were scattered over the fleld almost car
peting 1
There were also evidences of a desperate
hand-to-hand fight near the village. The
bodies of Japanese and Russians were
piled together in scores. The bodies show
many wounds, indicating that they were
fighting to the last, though -wounded.
Likampu was the scene of a fierce street
struggle. Every street, lane and com
pound wall shows its heap of dead. Many
buildings were burned, cremating the
wounded who crawled Into them for shel
ter. To seek cover for the advancing
troops was impossible on account of the
frozen ground, and both the Japanese and
Russian charges were made across the
open fields. The fighting at this point was
probably the most deadly and desperate
of the entire war thus far.
The Chinese w-cre not allowed on the
field, because it was feared that they
would rob the dead. Hundreds of Japan
ese soldiers are engaged in clearing the
field burying and burning the dead. Most
of the Japanese wounded have been re
moved to the hospitals in Mukden.
COSSACKS CRAZY FOR BLOOD
They Loot and Murder In Mukden
When Kuropatkin is Gone.
LONDON, March 17. From a dis
patch to the Daily Telegraph from Sin
mintin, desoriptlve of the fighting
around and the fall of Mukden, it ap
pears that General Kuropatkin left for
Tie Pass on horseback Maroh 8, his
staff folowlng by train the next day.
On March 10, Cossacks began looting
in Mukden, and, maddened -with drink,
committed the wildest excesses and
robberies and killed numerous civil
ians. The -Russian retreat from Mukden
station -was well executed until it was
discovered that the cordon of Japanese
In the rear, two and a. half miles from
town, was nearly complete, when the
retirement became a flight. The Rus
sian left army, comprising some 150,
000 men, according to the same dis
patch, was. cut,of by the Japanese, but
Is said to liave, by forced marches from
Kushun and Tungfu, by way of Lachia
tun. "U'ayanocheng and Sunchiatl, splen
didly executed a junction with the main
body at Tie Pass in three days.
The correspondent at Tokio of the
Daily Telegraph learns that the Japan
ese left army advanced toward Mukden
with flying colors, and in the last four
days covereciespectively, SO, S5, 20 and
16 miles. One force was sent especially
to search for General Kuropatkin and
his staff, but they had already gone.
CAN'T AFFORD DEFEAT IN PARIS
Russia Will Raise Loan on Any
. Terms French Peace Movement.
PARIS. March 16. The postponement of
the proposed new Russian loan continues
to occupy attention in official and finan
cial Investment circles. The bankers take
the view that the loan Is not a failure
s.nd that an adjustment of the conditions
may still be reached. One of the bankers
who went to St. Petersburg relates that
during tf conversation with him M. "Witte
remarked:
"We can afford to suffer a defeat in
Manchuria, but not one in Paris."
This is taken to indicate a;strong fcel
- ing in St. Petersburg for all possible con
cessions to maintain Russia's financial
position in the French market.'
The peace movement has gained
strong Impetus by the postponement of
the loan, and this leads to reports that
France is adopting discreet means to in
duce Russia to accept peace. However,
authoritative statements are made that
France has not taken any action nor has
Russia given any indication of willing
ness to discuss peace. Nevertheless, un
official Russian influences appear to be
operating to encourage peace movements.
probably with the design to Induce Japan
to disclose her minimum conditions. The
Japanese officials thus far have not
shown a disposition to accept the view
that they should adopt a magnanimous
attitude towards Russia. On the con
trary, they incline to the view that.
after their overwhelming defeat of the
Russians at Mukden, it is not opportune
to urge waiving an Indemnity or to offer
generous terms, which are the basis of
tne present iTencn peace movement.
OFFICERS EAGER TO FIGHT ON
Russia Will Continue War on Own
Resources If She 'Can't Borrow.
BERLIN. March 16. The German gov
ernment has been, informed that the Rus
sian Emperor has again put aside all
peace suggestions and is unshaken in his
resolution to continue the war. All the
higher officers of, the Far Eastern army
recently joined in a petition to Emperor
Nicholas not to consider peace, asking
that they be given other opportunities to
show the quality of Russian valor, and
reporting that, although they have re
treated, they and the army still have the
will to fight.
Emperor- Nicholas' decision had already
been taken and the army's -appeal only
added to his conviction that Russia still
had resources of a character that would
stand more beating before surrender be
came necessary.
The question of foreign credit was re
cently the subject of discussion, the As
sociated Press is informed, among Em
peror Nicholas' advisers, but it was said
that, if foreign credit were denied her.
Russia would find money at home. The
gold stock in the Imperial bank would
alone suffice for many months, and, as
sisted Jby expedients the finance minister
had not yet employed, would suffice for
years. However, there was no question
yet of touching the gold stock. Russia's
bonds, it was stated, stood on the Berlin
and Paris bourses at twice the price of
United States bonds during the low ebb
of the Civil "War. The finance minister
is reported as saying that Russia coiJd
get abundant loans even in England, If
she was willing to accept a low price. . As
for men, the war bad drawn from 7
to 9 per cent of the eliglbles for service.
Some draft riots had taken place, though
not more serious than those in the North
ern States during the Civil War.
It is said among military men that
there is something in the code of war and
something in the national spirit that re
quirts a nation .to fight on until unable
to fight any longer, so that France after
Mars La Tour, Gravelotte, Sedan and
Metz, although beaten according to for
eign opinion, was no more able to ask
for peace than Russia after the battles
of the Yalu River, Liao Tang, Port Ar
thur and Mukden.
KUROPATKIN REPORTS RETREAT

ST. PETERSBURG. March 16. The fol

and trains.
RUSSIANS ABANDON TIE PASS
After Slight Resistance, They Flee
Northward, Hotly Pursued.
CHICAGO, March 16. A special cable
to the Dally News from Tokio says:
Tie Pass. which , was held by about a divis
ion of Russian troops, is now in posses
sion of the Japanese. After a slight re
sistance the Russians evacuated, at mid
night, the strong positions they had pre
pared months ago, setting fire to the rail
way station and other buildings. The
Japanese troops, which had occupied Yin
pao and East Fusbun. are in hot pursuit
of the retreating Muscovites along the
Kirin road. It is predicted mat the Rus
sians will retreat to Harbin.

report from St. Petersburg states that
General Kuropatkin will retreat, not to
Harbin, but to Kirin and Vladivostok.
This, however, is regarded here as quite
improbable, and the ensuing fortnight is
expected to witness a keen run between
the Russians and Japanese for the great
railway bridge-over the Sungarl River, as
It is believed that, after Tie Pass, there
is no fortified place of sufficient strength
at which to make a stand until the Rus
sians reach Harbin. If Kuropatkin should
be able to make a successful retirement
thither, it is likely that be will be able
to add some 50,000 fresh troops to his ex
hausted army.
A question discussed here is the possi
bility of Russia evacuating Vladivostok
and concentrating its garrison at Harbin.
Various reports giving the alleged terms
on which Russia has obtained a loan
through the French syndicate are current
here and on the Continent. These reports
are conflicting in details, but agree that
the loan is for a short term, that the
amount is $125,000,000, and the rate
about 90.
SMALL HOPE FOR KUROPATKIN
London Correspondents Predict That
He Must Soon Surrender.
SPECIAL CABLE.
LONDON. March 17. The advices from
the Far East are believed here to in
dlcate that General Kuropatkin and his
forces in Manchuria will be forced to
surrender to the Japanese within a very
short time. The correspondent of the
London Dally Mail at St Petersburg, tele
graphing late last night, states that ad
vices received by the Russian War Of
fice indicate that a very large force or
Japanese have succeeded in carrying out
Marshal Oyama's enveloping movement
and is now far to the northward of the
fleeing Russian columns.
The correspondent states that he has
discussed the situation with several mil
tary experts and they all agree that there
Is but little hope of extricating the Rus
slan army from the Japanese trap. In
fact, some of the chiefs of the War Of
fice are declared to have stated that
General Kuropatkin seems doomed to surrender.
All of the St. Petersburg correspondents
of the London dally papers declare that
the feeling in the Russian capital is ex
tremely gloomy and intimate the belief
is general there that Russia will be com
pelled to seek peace soon or face revo-
juuon ax nome ana amunuauon aoroau.
It is generally believed here that Mar
shal Oyama will keep the enemy fighting
until the entire Russian army Is anni
hilated. It is the opinion that General
Kawamura. with his army is headed for
a point on the railroad far above Tlellng,
where he will be able to cut off the re
treat of the advance guard of General
Kuropatkin' 8 army and crush it in its
exhausted state.
The Japanese have succeeded in rcduc
ing the elaborate system of Russian de
fenses simply because Kuropatkin had
by no means men enough to defend his
positions and was compelled to bow
to the weight of superior numbers.
It is expected here that, while the pres
ent fighting is' going on near Tlellng, a
large Japanese army is moving against
Vladlvostock, and there would be little
surprise here, were the Japanese to be
heard from soon as having occupied that
city. The reduction of that port would
leave the Russian Baltic fleet with no
base nearer than Europe.
EXHAUST ENEMY BY RETREAT
Young Tolstoi Calls Peace Madness
and Adyocates Peter's Strategy.
SPECIAL- CABLE.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 17. Those
who talk glibly of sending the last man to
the front and spending the 'last ruble In
tho effort to conquer Japan are thundering
all over the land. Count Tolstois son.
one of Kuropatkln's officers, who lately
returned from the front, said:
"Peace at the present juncture would be
madness and national shame. God forbid
that Russia should consider peace for a
moment. It would only cause bloodier
wars. The cheaper tho peace, the dearer
the war. Russia must mobilize. The na
tion need not fear the interior troubles.
"The war in Manchuria will prove like
the Swedish war. Peter's crushing defeat
at Narva was followed by the practical
annihilation of the Swedish army at Pul-
towa. We must exhaust the enemy's re
treat slowly, destroy the bridges over the
rivers, defend the passes, and tho Jap
anese stamina would be broken. The fate
of Charles XII and of Napoleon awaits
Oyama."
''Russia's Manchurlan army is in des
perate need of a Commandor-ln-Chlef,"
said a member of the war council, who Is
himself the commander of an army cprps.
"All. Including Kuropatkin himself," ho
continued, "are agreed on the necessity of
a change: but there is no better than
Kuropatkin at hand. The leading army
Generals now in 6L Petersburg have never
shown ability and they do not know Man
churia. General Llnevltch is old and un
able to Improve on Kuropatkln's ideas and
methods. The other men at the front are
mere groundlings."
"Peace Is a matter of course." said a
director of the Commercial Bank. "The
market is strong and there has been quite
a revival of business as tho result of of
ficial assurance of imminent peace. All
this talk about replacing Kuropatkin is
merely academic"

BELATED STORY OF MUKDEN
Forces Actually Engaged 700,000
Victory-Due to Flank Attack.
"WITH THE JAPANESE LEFT
ARMIES, Friday, March 10. (6 P. M.).
Via Yinkow and Tientsin. March 16.
The Japanese occupation of Mukden
completes the serious defeat of General
Kuropatkln's armies. It is as yet Im
possible to say whether the victory is
decisive enough to end the war, but tne
general belief prevailing in these armies
is that it will hasten the conclusion of
peace. The Russian losses have been
very heavy. Although the figures have
not been reported. It Is believed here
that they will reach nearly 100,000. The
Japanese also lost heavily, perhaps half
as many as the Russians. The flanking
movement of the left armless was en
tirely successful In every detalL
The resistance of the Russians in the
villages northwest of the angle formed
by the railroad and the Hun River was
most determined to the very last and
many of the Japanese attacks were un
successful. The villages were ' very
strongly defended, the Russians having
at some places three lines of trenches
and several ditches, while they used
many machine guns. Hundreds of lives
were sacrificed In the attempts to cap
ture them. Thousands of dead were left
on the field and great fires are burning
in all directions, where tbe crema
tions are going on.
The Japanese take the long-looked-for
occupation of Mukden philosophi
cally. They are. of course, delighted
over the successful' outcome of the
operations, but they have too much
hard work ahead to give them time for
celebrations.
The Russians in all directions fought
splendidly, making desperate stands
and holding their positions until forced
out by the flanking movement. The '
holding of the villages in the angle j
against General Oku's army was par
ticularly valuable, as it allowed the
main force along the Shakhe River
time to retire In good order. The de
struction of the railroad bridge across
the Hun River probably will Interfere
greatly wltn the Japanese use of the
railway to bring up supplies. This Is
the first time the Russians have at
tempted to destroy the railroad.
The Japanese captured enormous
quantities of supplies and ammunition
at various places, and it Is believed
that the retreating Russians succeeded
in carrying off only a small quantity.
A conservative estimate places the
forces actually engaged in the fighting
at 320.000 on each side and the total
number of men on both sides at more
than 1.000,000. The whole movement
was so extensive and so quickly car
ried out that details cannot yet be ob
tained. The surrounding of Mukden was the
best strategical move accomplished by
tbe Japanese during the war.
