RUSSIA'S
FIGHTING
ARMY
Estimate of Strength of the
Czar's Forces in the East
London, July 9. According to tho
latent estimate of the available fight
ing strength at General Kuropatkln's
command It Is Improbablo, after allow
ing for lossej already sustained, casu
i ultles and! 111. that tho Russian com
1 mandor-ln-chlef can dispose of moro
than 94,000 bayonets and sabres, with
2G3 field guns. His force can hardly
on a liberal calculation, exceed 100.-
r 000 Jnfantry, 300O engineers, 10,000
Cossacks and 311 field guns.
With this number General Kuropat
kin has to retard tho Japanese ad
vance and defend tho long line from
Nlu-Chwang to Slamatse, on tho road
to.Mukflen from tho Yalu river, In or
I der to keep his lino of communica
tions open along the Trans-Manchur-
: Ian railway to Harbin, COO miles from
I the sea.
This army forms the main group
of tho Russian forces. It consists of
; 63 batalllons of the East Siberian
j Hies, of tho soenth, second, third,
fifth sixth and ninth divisions, 1G
batalllons of tho tenth and seven
teenth arniV corps and 48 batalllons of
Siberian Infantry, or a total of 127
ibatallons, with 41 batteries of field
and two machine guns.
The second group Is that of General
jStoessol, Intrusted with the defense
j of Port Arthur, consisting of tho '4th
I division, three infantry regiments and
tho seventh division, the total male-
Sing- probably about 28,000 of the land
army, allowing for sick and a loss of
2000 at Kin-Chow. With 10,000 sail
ors his combative strength should, be
38,000 men, with somo 5a field guns
and four hundred siege guns, besides
naval ordinance.
Tho third and lost group of the
Russian forces In the field la that of
the troops assigned! to Vladlvostock,
consisting of the eighth division, and
fortress troops, and a number of Cos1
sacks raiding In northern Corea. These
are under tho command of Goneral
Llijovltch, nnd1 In number probably do
not exceed 12,000.
Tho Russian staff has arranged for
tho despatch of JG2.000 mon and 83,
000 tons of stores during ,thp six
months from May to Octohor, a
monthly supply of 27,000 men and 13,
883 tons of stores. With' tho most
favorablo circumstances and tho un
hampered uso of tho Trans-Siberian
railway, it seems improbablo that
General Kuropatkln within tho next
few weeks can oppose anything like
equal numbors of the Japanese armies
attacking him.

notice of the disappearance of their

from advising them as to his where

have not undertaken any investiga

against their pastor. At a mooting

formally discussed, and Benedict,

was present at tho meeting, Just
