a sufficient force between the retreating

patsin s rate la sealed. He will be com-
pletely surrounded and must fight to
break through, and if he escapes It will
- be with but a remnant of his army and
with the loss of all his stores and guns.
It is possible thst a Japanese force
' that engaged General Mlstchenko on the
Russian right flank yesterday is the
force of Japanese that disappeared from
observation during the battle Of Mukden.
These troops are reported to the north-
taat of Tieling, headed for the railroad.

repulsed on Tuesday, was undoubtedly a

. success haa compelled the evacuation of

That the rsar Intends to prolong the
war Is evidenced by tne Imperial decree,
issued todsy at St. Petersburg, signed
by ths emperor, ordering the mobilisa
tion of more troops In the military dls-
" trlots of Warsaw. Moscow, Kleff and
Vasean. It Is feared that the calling
out of the reservists will be the signal
for a Terrorists uprising.
Conspiracies - have been discovered
, among the troops in central Russia to
foment organised disturbances in the
army to prevent being sent to Man
churia. - Many of the soldiers have been
court-mart laird and shot. The attempt
' to call out the reserves . will certainly
. meet a violent' opposition throughout
these districts a the peasants are us
ing the torch as a weapon against the
oppressing ' nobles, 1 Hundreds of coun

- The council of war at St. Petersburg
today decided that . General Grlppen-
. berg's action during the fighting on the
Shakhe .river was perfectly Justifiable.
He was accused by Kuropatkln of ex
peed Ins his orders In pushing beyond
' Bandepu and becoming involved in an
engagement In which he lost heavily.
Gfippenberg claimed that his loss was
sue to the failure of Kuropatkln to sup
port him.
.The Jspanese Intelligence department
states that the Russian wounded are be

credence. The retreat from Tte Pass,
coupled with the recent enprmous lossts
