Tho Kusslan army ol uu,ooo, which (Jcnernl Kuropatklu loantfully declnred would sweep the Japaneso into tho sen, is completely routed and wan compollod (o rotrei t in confusion on Feng Iiuan Cheng. Tho Kusslan losses nro vory heavy, while those of tho Japaneso nro do clarcd to havo leon mucJi smaller than might havo boon expected, considering that they had to wado tho Yntu river In tho iiico of n withering II ro from tho Kuasiaiis, who woro very strongly en trench ml. Tho Russian artillery had been silenced by tho Japanese guns, nnd they cnrrlod tho Ilusslnn entrench ment In n gallant layonet charge In which the men vied with tho oHlcers to be thn first to roach the Interior of tho Hue-Inn position.

As nn indication thnt this feeling is shared by tho higher llulgar- lan olliclala tho following facta may bo cited: In tho past It hna lecn customary to gtnnt free lenvea of absence to olllccrs of the nrmy during tho spring nnd early summer months nnd a Inrgo mini' bor of applications nro now pending Ilowover, within n short time, sevornl general orders havo been Issued by the minister of wnr, tho effect of which tins been to do nway with nil leaves for the present, whllo nil olllccrs hnvo been ordered to bring their commands up to the highest degree of cfllclcncy. This is held by well Informed Unl gar Inns to mean that Bulgaria mny yet have to battle to retain her Inde pendence.

The former pur pose failed, owing to the celerity of Rear Admiral Yezsan'a movements." Whllo there is no expectation that Rear Admiral Ye wan will risk an en counter with a superior force by put ting to sea, even on a raiding expedi tion, it is said he is a bold, careful commander and will spring surprises upon the Japanese. ,'V PAIR fJATES OPEN.
