SOON BECAME A SCRAMBLE

HEADQUARTERS OF GENERAL KU
ROKI'S ARM near Tiding March 25.
The first realization of the Immensity of
the Japanese forces was brought home to
the observer when the two central armies
rolled across the Shaho on the morning
of March 8 In the wake of the retreating
Russians. Hitherto during the battle
.parts of two or three brigades of Infan
try, with a few, battalions of reserves, a
dozen or more batteries, with pack trains
and field hospitals, were all that one per
son could see In the mountainous country
jof the great armies engaged. But when
the whole array moved northward with
its impediments following, it was an im
pressive host. Looking from the heights
where' the Russian batteries had been, one
could see many khaki-colored processions
for miles on either hand emerging from
the valleys and passes where the Japan
ese had been concentrating since October,
streaming across the dry bed of the river
and the narrow channels of ice and wind
ing away among the bare hills and sandy
plains northward.
It was a business-like army swathed in
dark blue and khaki with no spectacular
show of gold braid, no brass, and hardly
a touch of color except the scarlet blan
kets 'worn over the shoulders. Most of
the ranks were boys yet, but they were
toughened by a year of campaigning into
hardy veterans. They plodded on silently,
asr usual,. with no show of rejoicing over
victory, without confusion or excited of
ficers. Japanese dominion over Manchuria-
was spreading at the rate of two
mHes an hour.
By the river banks were fields of kao
liang whleh had stood unharvested since
Fall between the lines of hostile cannon,
and through these were swarming men,
women and children reaping and stack
ing their crops. The Chinaman fritters
away no time gaping at victorious armies
when- a few dollars are to be gathered.
Dust Stirred by Million Feet.
For ten days from that morning the
whole country within the area of the
fighting was covered with a mist of fine
dust stirred up by the feet of. more than
a million men and animals. It never set
tled for a minute, it choked the throat
andbllnded the eyes, sifted under cloth
ing, made food gritty and turned all wa
ter into mud. The flames from burning
houses, and stacks of grain showed
through it in the nights like the moon
through the fog. The sandstorms which
began on the second days of the pursuit
and continued at Intervals for a week
came from th north directly into the
faces of the Japanese and made the dis
comfort and hardship worse. There was
great contrast between the country south
of the Shaho and north of it. The vil
lages toward Mukden were larger and
more prosperous. . with better buildings,
and the picturesque temples and tombs
surrounded by grove? or dark,, green firs
made a welcome panorama to the eyes
of the men from beautiful Japan who had
spent months among the dreary and mo
notonous hills.
Chinese families gathered in front of
their houses and greteed the Japanese
with shouts. Doubtless they were equal
ly ready to acclaim the Russians and de
nounce the Japanese when it was poli
tic Outside the larger towns, Chinese.
'Officials wearing their robes of office and
buttons on their caps with bannres and
sbldiers in gaudy uniforms received the
Japanese Generals, and General Kuroki
and his staff rode Into the village where
hjs headquarters are now, through a
double file of villagers kneeling on both
sfdes of the road.
Retreat Becomes Scramble.
The beginning of the Russian retreat
from the Shaho was orderly and they
le.ft a clean field. None of their portable
effects worth taking had been abandoned,
except hundreds of stacks of tin cases In
the trenches and huts, containing cart
ridges. Toward evening of that day
General Kuroki's troops overtook their
rear guards eight or .nine miles north of
toe , Shaho and from that time the re
treat, became a scramble for safety. At
the various supply stations huge piles of
grain were fired and smouldered for
days. The pursuit continued all though
the night of the Sth. and the right divi
sion of Kuroki's army came to the branch
line of railroad running from Mukden to
the mines at Fushun.
On the morning of the Sth the sand
storm began which threw both sides into
confusion and made orderly retreat or
pursuit on a large scale Impossible. All
the telegraph w.lres connecting the head
quarters and the different divisions were
blown down, so that each contingent pro
ceeded largely on its own responsibility.
lne left division crossed the Hunho un
der cover qf the thick dust clouds with
out a battle. Apparently the Russian
commander was afraid to risk a defense
on' such a day, even in the elaborate
works which should have made the Hun
ho the most formidable line of defense;
perhaps because his own men were in a
panic
What Might Have Been.
Probably this was the decisive day of
the battle, for the Japanese forces west
of Mukden were being pressed hard and
the brigade on the extreme left was al
most wiped out. Had Bildering repulsed
Kuroki two or three days at the Hunho.
the Russian reserves might have been
abje to turn the tide at Mukden. Good
generalship and good fortune made his
tory otherwise. Kuropatkin had hurried
his reserves from Mukden east to Fushun,
as the Japanese had planned that he
should. "and then hurried them back to
Mukden, but only too late. The Japanese
center army from Kuroki's left was push
ing past Mukden to the north and Kuro
ki6 left division was marching still far
ther north protecting Its right flank.
Having lost the Hunho. the Russian
central army left Mukden to Its fate and
continued in its disorderly retreat to Tle
llng. That all their dead were left where
they fell showed what the retreat had
become. On the morning of the 10th the
left division again encountered the Rus
sian rearguard in considerable force
northeast of Mukden and. as the Russians
attempted to make a stand, they were
bfaten in two engagements, and In the
afternoon the division arrived at the town
of San-a. 10 miles beyond Mukden on the
main road from Mukden to Tiding.
Trendies Near Tiding Taken.
Until "the 10th the army had been pushed
forward day and night In the face of
every difficulty to draw the attention of
the Russians from Mukden, and the men
were nearly exhausted by their forced
march. The military road from Fushun
to. Tiding wound along the plains among
sharp hills and the division followed this
to. get to. the north of Mukden, while Gen
eral Linievltch took most of his men
directly north through the mountains
with the Japanese right army pursuing.
Several times. the Japanese had brushes
with' the rearguard, but no important action-until
the Hth, when they approached
the range of -high steep hills seven miles
southeast of Tiding, which was strategi
cally the strongest defense of the city.
There was a broad level plain In front of
the hills and no avenue of approach for
an attacking force except to cross this
plain under such cover as could be found
in the gullies and behind occasional
ridges. Consequently it was decided to at
tempt the Tiight attack with the bayonet
once more, and thus the first line of
trenches below the hills was gained.
For the general advance on the morning
of the 14th two battalions were assigned
for a frontal attack, one for a diversion
on the right and the largest force of eight
on the left. A direct charge upon the
main trenches was Impossible because the
slope before them was almost too steep
to be scaled, even with no resistance. A
lower hill to the west and in front was
vulnerable on its west flank and after an
artillery engagement the main body occu
pied this. Night stopped the fighting and
before morning the Russians had retired
in haste, leaving 200 dead, while the Jap
anese had EO0 casualties.
I.ast Stand at Tiding.
The last stand of th& Russians before'
Tiding was on a chain of hills 3000 meters
southeast of the city, equipped elaborate
ly with a long chain of trenches and well
constructed gun positions which they held
with 2i guns. While the General of Divi
sion was rcconnolterlng the positions on
the afternoon of the loth, another Japan
ese brigade from the south began to en
gage one of the Russian batteries. This
partly exposed the Russian flank to the
enemy and 35 Japanese guns were con
centrated in a bombardment of that posi
tion. Darkness again interrupted the
work after an hour's bombardment and
again the Russians retreated, abandoning
without serious resistance their most val
uable depot between Mukden and Harbin,
which was their strongest military posi
tion as well. General Kuropatkin had
been there In his special train until the
afternoon of the 15th, It was said. When
the firft Japanese company entered the
settlement at 1 in the morning, it cap
tured the stationmaster and two other
officers who had been left VTlh orders to
apply the torch at the last moment, but
only a few buildings were burned and
there were valuable stores of munitions
undamaged.
Scattered Like Sheep and Taken.
No more dramatic encounter occurred
during this eventful week than the cap
ture of the Fifth and Nineteenth Regi
ments of Russian rifles by Kuroki's left
division on the morning of the 11th. In
the panic which prevailed at Mukden
these two regiments were left at 3 in the
morning with no general commanding
them, a mixed crowd of soldiers from oth
er organizations and camp-followers at
taching themselves to the retreat. When
the two forces discovered one another,
they quickly formed Into fighting line and
the Russians came on with the officers
in front of the ranks to cut their way
through. The contact was so sudden that
there was confusion at first, in which the
Japanese general and his staff with two
foreign attaches came under the fire of
the Japanese rifles and guns. The fight
was short and decisive. The Russians
could not stand In the open fields under
the shrapnel and soon scattered like
sheep, while many parties waved towels
and handkerchiefs to surrender. The
Japanese had only 209 casualties, while
dead and wounded Russians were all over
the field.
During the rest of the day the Japanese
were occupied hunting for Russians In all
the surrounding country. They had brok
en up Into small parties, were fleeing in
every direction, some trying to get back
to Mukden, others to find roads of escape
northward, and many hiding in the
ravines and In Chinese houses. However
brave they were in fighting, when cor
nered some of them made spectacles tf
themselves hardly to be expected of men
of a military race. Doubtless the men
wore unnerved by the strain of long fight
ing, but the Siberians captured earlier in
the war bore themselves with the dignity
of soldiers. Whether the European troops
who have been sent to the Bast are the
best quality of the Russian army there Is
no means of judging, but certainly they
have not compared favorably In physique
or fighting qualities with the Siberians,
particularly the East Siberian sharp
shooters. That is the opinion of the
Japanese officers.
Four Thousands in Day.
The total of prisoners taken that day
was nearly 4000. They were a fierce and
savage-looking crowd, all wearing big
t black or white sheepskin hatF, many in
I dirty fur coats, "most of them heavily
beaded, all unwasnca tor aays. Among
the officers were several old men. one of
the a veteran of the Russo-Turkish War
with a white beard hanging to his waist,
who gave Ills age as 72. The next morn
ing they wenL down the road in a big
cloud of dust a long and picturesque pro
cession of dejected-looking loujlks, with
their officers riding In Chinese carts and
Jeering Manchurlans running along the
flanks to Join the army of Russians In
Japan, which now numbers nearly 100,000.

STILL MS RECORD
Dewey Says Togo Has Not
Equaled America's Glory,
IF SOME SHIPS ESCAPED
.Manila and Santiago Only Naval Bat
tles Where Beaten Fleet Was ISx-terminalctrZ-Russia's
Only
Hope Is Peace.
WASHINGTON. May 3. Admiral
Dewey tonight expressed the belief that
Admiral Togo has struck a powerful blow
for peace, which he declared to be Rus
sia's best alternatl-e. "It is the begin
ning of the end," he said, "and I can see
no other outsome than that Russia will
sue for peace.
"The advices so far seem to show that
the Japanese achieved their victory by
hurling torpedo-boats against the Rus
sians. It is not to be supposed, how
ever, that the Russian battleships would
surrender to the torpedo-boats alone.
Admiral Togo's training and the. prepared
ness throughout his fleet, I am convinced.
Is responsible for his stupendous victory.
"If some of the Russian ships escaped,
we still have the record, for the victories'
at Manila and Santiago were complete
In that all of the ships of the enemy1
were either destroyed or taken."
HAILED AS A NEW THAFALGAR
Jubilant British Journals Compare
Togo With Nelson.
LONDON, May 30. The naval battle
between the fleets of Togo and Rojcst
vensky strikes the Imagination of the
British public with far greater force than
any of the military operations. Hence
Togo's victory arouses far more Intense
interest here than any incident of the
war, anft Is greeted by thq newspapers
and the people with great jubilation.
Everywhere It is being compared with
Trafalgar and Abouklr.
"Togo," says the" Dally Telegraph edi
torially, "has won the Trafalgar of the
Far East and won It, as his allies re
joice to note. In, Nelson's yar."
The same editorial rccallii the fact that
tho baltlcs of Manila Ba and Santiago
did not cost the Americans a single
ship, and Indeed, hardly a single life,
and it would, therefore, not be surprising
to find that Togo had gained a relatively
bloodless victory-
In varying strains of eulogy all the
papers pay tribute to Admiral Togo's
extraordinary success. They say that the
sun has set on Russia's naval glory and
comment on the possibilities of peace.
Universal opinion is that It rould' be
criminal for the Emperor of Russia to
continue the war., but serious doubts are
expressed as to whether serious disaster
will even convince the war party In
St. Petersburg of the hopelessness of a
further struggle. The belief seems to
prevail that It will rather harden the
hearts of the war advocates to persevere
to the bitter end.
Details of the great fight are anxiously
awaited, for- beyond the Associated Press
dispatches and the Japanese official ac
counts, nothing is yet .available. The
version of Togo's report published by
the Japanese legation says that the Vladi
mir Monimach foundered and was af
terwards captured.
Naval experts mostly hold to the opin
ion that the greatest damage was done
by the Japanese torpedo-boat destroyers.
It Is said that Togo was prepared to sac
rifice practically the whole of his mos
quito fleet If he could thereby destroy
Rojestvcnsky's battleships and armored
cruisers.
The surrender of several of the Russian
vessels Is regarded as proving the com
plete demoralization of Rojestvcnsky's
men and It is fully expected that further
captures will be made before the rem
nant of his ships reach Vladivostok.
DISASTER STUNS FRANCE. .
Peace Russia's Only Chance, Though
Some Predict Land Battle.
PARIS. May 29. The magnitude of the
Russian naval disaster has fairly stunned
French public opinion, which had hoped
that late advices would show that Japan
had also suffered some share of the losses.
However, dispatches showing that the
Japanese fic?t escaped practically un
scathed from the encounter dispelled the
hope entertained that Vice-Admiral Ro-
jestvensky by sacrificing a portion of his
fleet had succeeded In crippling VIce-Ad-
mirai Togo's? fleet to such an extent that
the Japanese would be placed in a posi
tion of peril. Therefore the disaster is
generally discussed by the officials, the
public and the prew in a tone of depres
sion, the prevailing view being that Rus
sia now will be compelled to seek some
means of terminating the war.
The Bourse first gave evidence of a
strong peace sentiment by the buoyancy
of the market. The leading journals. In
cluding the- semi-official Temps, urging
peace,, declare Russia has played her last
card.
It was stated in diplomatic quarter? to
day that, while the result of the battle
would contribute to eventual peace, it did
not give any Immediate prospect of the
opening of negotiations to that end
It was pointed out that the obstinacy of
the character of the Russians would
probably impel them to turn to General
Llnevltch and await the result of another
land battle. It was said in this connec
tion that the situation would not be likely
td permit Field Marshal Oyama to strike
another decisive blow within two weeks.

BERLIN. May 30. The Berlin morn
Ing- newspapers, "with the latest news
from the battle, give the greatest rec
ognition to Vice-Admiral Togo's
achievement, and say it will rank
among the greatest events of history.
The battle is characterized as the
greatest drama ever known. Some of
the newspapers assume, however, that
an important 'part of the Russian fleet
was not present at the combat, and
that the vessels composing this part
will reach Vladivostok ami still give
the Japanese trouble. Some express the
opinion regarding tne fate of the ves
sels fleelnfr toward Vladivostok that
they will hardly escape tne Japanese
swift cruisers.
Astonishment is expressed at the
sorry figure cut by the Russian battle
ships. This leads a naval expert, writ
ing in the Lokal 'Anzeiger. to point
out that a modern battleship is a most
Inefficient machine unless manned by
thoroughly trained officers and sea
men; that tne Russians were notorious
ly deficient in training during the time
of peace, and that it was Impossible
for them to make good this defect since
tne war broke out. The event, there

RUSSIA WILL FIGHT AGAIN
Admiral Evans Believes Togo Will
Finish Russian Fleet.
NEWPORT NEWS. Va.. May 23. (Spe-clal.)j-ln
the opinion of Rear-Admiral R.
D. Evans. the,severe defeat administered
to the Russian squadron will not have
the effect of ending the war. Seated In
his cabin on hoard the Maine at Old Point
Eddy, he said:
"I do not think the victory will close
the war. Russia will stand for another
land battle.
"Rojestvensky's fleet will be destroyed
or captured entirely. It will be a great
opportunity to display the usefulness of
the torpedo-boats. In the vicinity of the
straits -are two of the most powerful tor
pedo stations in the world. They will
doubtless be heard from, as they can oper
ate 200 torpedo-boats in a radius of 200
mlla?. Rojestvenky must face the torpedo-boats
while pursued by Toso. What
chance for escape has he?
Rojcstvens'ky's course through" the
straits instead oftaklng to the open wa
wa? a surprise to the officers of my fleet.
It was expected that he would reach
Vladivostok, making It a base for opera
tion;, asrainst the Jananem in the straits.
He would then have'had a safe harbor in !
the event of Just such a defeat."
Admiral Evans praised the valor and
the lighting ability of the Japanese and
said they were the best gunners in the
world. He said: "There Is no telling
itfiat the yellow midgets will do in bat
tle," and continued: "We must be ready
for anything In the way of valor or skill.
They can almost drive a nail with their
big guns, and they know no fear. It '
would hardly be extravagant to say that
one Japanese cruiser, manned, as they
arc. by men who have had yeaers of
training and active service, would more
than match two Russian battleships. At
any rate. I would rather be In command
uf such a cruiser so manned than either
of the battleships,
"Further information must be had be
fore I can give a correct estimate,- but It
looks to me as though Rojcstvensky's
fleet la entirely doomed."

VIENNA. May 29. The comments in the
newspapers here today are exclusively to
the effect that Russia is conclusively
beaten, and that nothinsr remains hut tn

been proved that the Russians can never
vanquish the Japanese, and say the re
sult of the engagement In the Corean
Straits Is a ghastly blow to Russia's pres
tige, abroad and at home, and that tho
sooner Russia concludes an honorabllel
peace tne sooner sne can hope to Improve
the conditions existing In her Interior."
RAXCE DEPLORES ALLY'S LOSS
Paris Paper's Talk or Yellow Peril
and Intervention.
PARIS, May 30. This morning's news
papers unanimously deplore the Russian
disaster, while eulogizing Vice-Admlrai
Rojcstvensky's heroism. ' The majority
consider the time ripe for intervention In
favor of peace. The Figaro sympathizes
with Rojestvensky and expresses appre
hension with regard to the "yellow peril."
The Matin says: "It is more than a de
featit is a catastrophe."
The Echo de Paris remarks that It Is
"the ruin of our ally's hopes."
BEGINNING OF END OF WlAR
Opinion Expressed by Naval Officials
at Washington.
WASHINGTON. May 29. (Special.)
The view that the beglnlng of the end
of the war has come with Rojestvensky's
defeat Is not confined to Admiral Dewey
alone. Among all the high naval officials
the same view is expressed that Russia
Is now in a position where she must sue
for peace.
"The Baltic fleet was Russia's last
hope." as one prominent officltl express
ed it, "and she has absolutely nothing
now to rely on to push her campaign.
The fleet which she has, pened in the
Black Sea, though as comparatively strong
one, cannot be gotten but of there with
out raising a storm of protest from
England. It Is not likely that Russia
will attempt to bring that fleet into play.
It is my opinion that Japanese gunnery
was chiefly responsible for the crushing
blow administered to Rojcstvensky's
powerful squadron."
Among some officials, however, there Is
a tendency to "the view that the naval
battle will not mean the cessation of
hostilities altogether, - as there Is a be
lief that Japan will now Immedlatelyat
tempt a tremendously crushing move
ment on land. . '.

When your child is ill
dislike to make it take
tasting medicine. Hence
well to know that Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral is very
pleasant. But it is a
medicine, a strong
medicine.
Time and time again we have published the
formula of this cough medicine in the principal
Medical Journals of this country and Europe,
and have mailed it to nearly every physician in
the United States. .
. So it follows that when your doctor orders it
I for coughs, colds, bronchitis, or consumption,
I he knows precisely what he is giving.
I Physicians recommend their families to keep
lit on hand.
