Dispatches de scribing tho picturesquo events of the night retreat from n Pass, and tho nil- I night combat at tho railroad bridge across tho Shakho river, hnvo been al lowed to come through, but nothing to show whether General Kuropatkin is withdrawing or Is determined to stand his ground. It is significant that no news has boon received from tlio threatened left 'flank, tho last dis patches leaving tho Russians clinging desperately to Oubcnepusn against strong forces of General Kurokl's vet erans. Although it is not admitted in the war office tho general impression in military cirelcsis that General Kuro patkin may be forced to withdraw.

It has not been learned how tho switch enmo to bo left open, but the gono'ral surmiso is that somo how or careless brakeman forgot to closo it when tho freight was Bido-trackcd this uiorning to wait for tho local to pass. Cnnby is not tho usual passing point for these traius, tho local being duo at that' point at 9 o'clock, Avhilo thej freight, had it bocn on timo, would havo pnssod that station at 7:110 in tho morning. This may havo had some thing to do with tho accident, it being not on schedule time, and tho engineer 1 on tho local, in all probability, whb not looKing ror-nnotucr tram in mat sta tion. It wiib thought for a whilo that No. JJ, tho southbound ovorlnnd, would bo ilelnyod for sovcral hours, but it was soon lenrncd thnt tho accident oc curred entirely within tho switch, nnd tho mnin lino wns left perfectly clour. Tlio local must havo boon running nt a high rate of speed, for tho two engines aro piled togothcr in one con fused heap, whilo tho mnil cur is piled on top of tho tender of tho local's en gine, tho bnggngo car is derailed, and gonornl confusion roigns upon the scene. Tho oscupo of everyone nboard is littlo short of miraculous, nud can not bo undorstood by old trainmen who , hnvo seen vrceks gnloro iu tholr time.
