SPECIAL CABLE.
CHICAGO. March 20. The "Daily News
prints the following from its St. Peters
burg correspondent:
Mobilization of the last man and
spending of the last ruble to beat Japan
Is a mere bluff. The Czar's treasury is
empty, the army Is annihilated and
new one cannot be raised.. Nicholas him
self and nine-tenths of the people desire
peace. The Alexieff clique is fighting;
for existence and is strongly .opposing
the better informed statesmen. General
Bjetzkl said to the Dally News corre
spondent this morning:
"To speak of continuing the war would
be inaccurate; it would be more correct
to talk of beginning. It is not enough
to have a hew commander. AVe must
have a new army, new ammunition and
a new railroad. Where are we to get
them? Even if wo had them, it would
be impossible to think of assuming the
offensive. General Linlevitch is con
demncd to act on the defensive. Is it
possible that Russia can look with any
degree-of -confidence to the Baltic fleet
to .save the situation? Rojcstvensky'a
squadrons are weak and without proper
sea base. They would have to risk all
on a, single battle."
Yellow Peril Dragged Out Again
France is. called on by the jingoes to
aid .Russia by force, if necessary, to orjng
the Black Eea fleet, through the Dardan
ellcs. to lend naval bases to the Russian
fleet and to supply money. Should this
not be done, France is warned that tri
umphant Japan will shortly turn its at
tention to the capture of Indo-China. It
is also hinted that driving the Germans
out -of Klaochow Is part of the Mikado's
cherished 'designs.
Roosevelt and Uncle 6am Cartooned
In the Novoe Vremya is published
pcriWtlonal story to the effect that the
Ignited States Is urging Japan to make
the hardest terms possible with Russia.
It says that the Standard OH Company"
has advanced a loan of $100,000,000 to the
Mikado on the security t the oil wells
in Sakhalin Island, which belongs to
Russia and has not yet been captured
, by the Japanese. This, according to the
Novoe "Vremya, vis selling the bear's skin
before the animal Is killed. America, it
assorts, is encouraging the growth of
Japanese power to accomplish the ruin
of Europe. The paper also publishes gross
caricatures of Roosevelt and ridiculous
pictures of "Uncle Sam."
Don't Blame Russian People.
Korsakoff, the celebrated Liberal pa
trlot, said this morning: "The Novoe
Vremya was chiefly responsible for the
war with Japan. It now Involves us la
further complication by Its ignorance in
confounding President Roosevelt with
the Standard Oil Company. Americans,
however, do not confound the autocracy
and the bureaucracy with the Russian
people. America will remain our friend
and will help to get us out of the trouble
into .which the Novoe Vremya has
dragged us."
RUSSIANS DESTROYING ROADS
In
Rearguard Skirmishes Mark Retreat
Chinese Turn Against Invaders.
GUNSHU PASS, March 20 (mornlng.)-
The last two days have been utterly
without, incidont except for the removal
of the censor to Kudzlhu Pass. The Rus
slan rearguard Is retreating slowly and
engaging in occasional skirmishes.
has now reached a position 27 miles north
of Tie Pass. The Japanese are slowly
advancing, without pressing the Rus
slans.
In the course of the retreat, the Rus
slans are destroying bridges, the railway
roadbed and highway, carrying off stores
and demolishing buildings and everything
not portable.
Reports of a wide turning movement by
the Japanese arc no longor - being re
celved. There Is increasing difficulty
securing reliable information beyond the
limits within which scouting parties are
active, on account of the. defection
many Ghlncse to the Japanese side. Many
natives who have been employed as serv
ants by Russian officers have run away,
and other consequences of the evacuation
of Mukden are not noticeable In the at
titude of the Chinese.
The troops parted In sadness with Gen
eral Kuropatkln, whose labors In shap
ing the army arc recognized and who
was ever attentive to the wants of the.
soldiers in the matter of food, clothing
and shelter.
Regardless of1 the fact that he had
been Commander-in-Chief, General Ku
ropatkln offered to remain here as a
subordinate of General Linlevitch and as
-commander of a" corps.
General Linlevitch, who also enjoys the
respect and confidence of the troops as
a fighter. Is determined to initiate reform
by weeding out the .overloaded staff and
other administrative departments, and is
taking other steps which. It is believed,
will r.esult in economy as well as In
creasing the efficiency of the army.

Between Armies Gives Little
Time for Fighting.
ST PETERSBURG, March ZL :17
A. M.) The latest dispatches from Man
churia indicate that the retreat of the
Russian army is being conducted unevent
fully. The last few days were unmarked
by any fighting of a serious nature. Both
the Russians and the Japanese at this
stage are probably considering- mat
inarching Is morS important than fight
ing. The Russians, however, are neg
lecting no precautions to Impede pur
suit and hamper the construction of per
manent Japanese lines of supply.
A dispatch received yesterday announc
ing that a cannonade had been near a
south of Tie Pass is apparently an error,
either as to direction or location.
M. Tuluxakoff. an Associated Press cor
respondent, who had been accompanying
General RennenkampfTs corps of the
eastern army, and whose dispatches sud
denly ceased with the beginning of the
retreat, has arrived at Gunshu Pass, hav- i
ing been wounded in the early stages of
the retirement and incapacitated for con
tinuing his work. '
According to an Associated Press dis
patch from Gunshu Pass, the' appointment
of General Linlevitch has made a good
impression with the army, the new com
mander enjoying the affection and con
fidence of the troops almost In the same
measure as General Kuropatkln. Both are
fighters and pot carpet knights.
EXPECT NEWS OF SURRENDER
Readers Between Lines Believe Bat
tle Is Fought on Flanks.
SPECIAL CABLE.
LONDON, March 2L Those who have
examined the reports that have reached
here during the last iS hours from the
Far East are certain that within a short
time word will arrive that the Russian
forces that are slowly -fighting their way
northward along the line of the railway
toward Harbin have been finally cut off
by the Japanese and that they will be
compelled to either give battle or surrender.
The Jaoanesa official advices, as pub
lished, deal entirely with the fight that
has been participated in by the rear
guard and say nothing about the fighting
along the flanks and at the head of the
retreating column. This secrecy Is be
lieved here to Indicate that movements
of importance are in progress andVlhat
until they have been finally carried out
all of the news that will he permitted to
filter through will be devoted to the de
tails of engagements already reported.
HOW KAIYUAN WAS CAPTURED
Japanese Repulsed Russians Again
Finding Buried Guns at Mukden.
TOKIO; March 20. Cll A. M,) The fol
lowing official announcement has been
made:
"Our detachment entered and . occupied
Kaiyuan Sunday morning at 4 o clock.
On the same day at 10:30 o'clock the ene
my's cavalry, about 60 strong, with three
companies of infantry, attempted a coun
ter-attack, hut was completely repulsed.
Toward the northeast the bridges on the
main road south of Kaiyuan have been
burned by the' enemy. The railway
bridges have been partly destroyed.
The number of guns captured near
Mukden IS Increasing, owing to discov
eries of those buried by the enemy before
retreating."

arc Inquiring among bankers as to the
feasibility of a Japanese loan, in which
the National City Bank of New York will
also probably participate, if satisfactory
arrangements can be agreed upon. No
definite arrangements appear to have been
made as yet, the chief obstacle being the
form of security offered by the Japanese.
The Deutsche Aslatlsche Bank headed the
syndicate that took the Chinese loan.
NEW YORK, March 30. The participa
tion of the National City Bank, of this
city, and Kubn, Locb & Co., of this city.

the American bankers, the Berlin finan
ciers and the parties representing the Jap

will take part in the loan.
Linlevitch May Try to Hold Line
From KIrln.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 20. (4 P.
M.) Anxiety regarding' the fate of
General Linievltch's forces continues.
the main danger to them being the
Japanese columns which are hurrying
northward along the great trade route
20 miles west and parallel with the
line of retreat. The heads of these
columns were officially reported to be
passing Fakoman, 30 miles nortnwest
of Tie Pass, on Friday. Tnelr appear
ance doubtless hastened the Russians'
retirement, which now has become lit
erally a race northward, as. once the
Russians are headed. It would be easy
for the Japanese by a short cut to
throw themselves across the line of re
treat.
After leaving Kaiyuan, General Un
Ievitch Is believed to have divided his
army, the main 'portion keeping1 to the-
railroad and the other jailing back
along the Mandarin road which runs
to Kirln, It being impossible to leave
the latter open to the Japanese, lest
they then be able to creep up to the
left flank. At the same time, it Is
recognized that a reparation of forces
is always attended with the danger of
giving the enemy an opportunity to
concentrate and fight the army in de
tail.
Some military men here bolleve that
Linlevitch will try to hold the line
from Kirin to Cbangoun. 120 miles
north of Tie Pass.
The First Corps, composed of steady
troops from SL Petersburg, and for
merly commanded by General Meln
dorff. is covering the retreat, which
.the War Office declares Is proceeding
In an orderly fashion.
Complete details of the losses at the
battle of Mukden arc not yet avail
able at the "War Office, but the reports
thus far received indicate that 120,000
men were killed, wounded or made
prisoners., and that about SO field guns
were captured. Almost every siege gun
It Is. affirmed, was removed.
LINIEVITCH MAY BE AT HARBIN
General Believed to Have GonetAhead
of His Army.
LONDON. March 2L General Llnte
vltch's report to the Emperor that h
had Inspected the newly-arrived troops
causes much speculation In London as
indicating that he either has gone much
further north than bad been supposed
or that Russian reinforcements arc still
being sent south from Harbin. The lat
ter hypothesis is considered hardly like
ly, in view of the Tact that the Russians
are trying to effect the speediest possible
reltrement on Harbin. Clearly a rigorous
censorship is again being .enforced from
both the Russian and Japanese sides.
The SL Petersburg correspondent
the Morning Post declares that Russia-
is stubbornly prolonging a useless strug
gle Jn the hope of dragging in foreign In
tcrventlon to dictate a settlement more
favorable to her than would be possible
by direct negotiations with Japan.

KUROPATKIN ON WAY HOME
With Shattered Nerves He Starts for
St. Petersburg.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 20 (4:54 P.
M.). The story that General Xuropat
kin remained at the front in command
of General Linievltch's old first army
Is untrue. He is proceeding: to Irkutsk,
where he may stop a short time to re
cuperate before going to St. Peters
burg. His nerves .are said to be badly
shattered. It is again being affirmed
that Kuropatkln requested the Em
peror to relieve him.
Emperor Nicholas Is almost in daily
conference with General Dragomlroff,
Minister of "War Sakharoff and others
on the situation, and the General Staff
is energetically at work planning the
reorganization of the army and con
sidering- the ways and means. Prep
arations continue, irrespective of the
possibilities of peace, for a demonstra
tlon of Russia's ability to prosecute the
war, which Is regarded as vital, whether
peace negotiations begin or not
The bankers and Finance Minister Ko-
kovosoff have had a financial meeting, at
which terms for a new international loan
wre completed. It Is expected it will be
announced soon.
Linlevitch Finds New Troops Well.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 20. A dis
patch from General Linlevitch, dated
March 19, F. M., says:
The commander of the second army
reports that he has bad no further fight
ing.
No reports have oeen received from
the first or third armies.
I have inspected tho troops which have
arrived from Russia. They are In excel
lent spirits and good health."
Time o Prepare for Peace.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 20 (4:55 P.
M.). The Novoe Vremya editorially
today, for the first time, admits the
possibility of peace. It says:
'After all, the war is like an others.
It must end sometime by peace. Re
membering how dearly we paid for the
lack of foresight of our diplomacy dur
