vision toward Slngmlntln thirty mileswest of Mukden to meet any Interfer-ence that attempted from thedirection of Yinkpw or New ChangPyamas advance guard Is reported tobe engaging the Russian rear but

not expected to develop anythingmore serious than a series of rear guardactions tending to htirrass Kuropatkliis retreat

The Japanese have thrown a strongflanking column across the Taitse riverat Benitu abput thirty miles northeastof Llao Yang This column Is hurry-ing to northeast and endeavoring tiget in between the Russian army andMukden It Is against this movementthat dispatched Lieutenant GonoraFllennenkampf with astrong Cossack division which It Is believed is already blocking the easternhigh road

Kuropatkin has three yoads overwhich hc is marching toward Mukdenbesides the doubletracked railroadThe latter is chiefly occupied In thetransportation of guns and of equip-ment of which there is a great quantity The soldiers are marching inJight order and most of the woundedhave already been dispatched north byrailGeneral Kuropatkin in a telegram totile general stuff filed at 1 p m Sept bnorth of says the Japanese onSunday engaged his rear guard southof Yentai the fight continuing untilMonday The telegram details the precautions taken to chetkmate the Jap-anese hankers

Kuropatkin estimates his losses upto and including Sept 4 at 16000 Thisis considered to be avery conservativefigure The low to the Japanese pobably will be double this number owingto their position as attackers Kuropatkin stays nothing regarding the lossof guns but i Us probable that someof the heavier emplaced guns at LiaoYang had to be abandoned

There is no truth either in the re-port that Kuropatkin has Keen wounded or that Lieutenant General Linevjtoh is moving to his support GeneralLInevitch Is still at Vladivostok

LONDON CRITICS

DUMFOUNDED

Few Care to Venture an Opinion on

KUROPATKIN MAY GET AWAY

IN WHICH CASE TJH3T WAR MAY

I OXDOX Sept GTho raco of General1 Kuropatkin for Mukden enthralls

the British press and public and nUiitary and other critics scarcely dare ven-ture a brief surmise as to Us result Thebest opinion inclines to the belief thatJvuropatkin will get through with a

remnant of ILls crcat armythus robbmc the Japanese of the com-plete fruits of their victory but it is rer-nlized that the Russians will not be outof the woods for several days

The latest report is that Geneltil Kuropatkin is once more In of beingcut off and it is believed here to belikely that this report will be repeatedseveral times before the Issue of the san-

itary critics base such opinions aa theyupon the Immense dUGeneral Kuroki must overbornebefore Intercepting who

hold shown ability to take advantage1-

OKI now succeeds utter falling inthe initial attempt ho will inEnglish an almost superhumanachievement

Will Be LuckyHero it is almost taken for granted thata Japanese occupation of must

supposes that Kurosatkln will urearn ofsuch another attempt toscorn theJapanese advance as did at Iitao Yang

If the Russians can reach Harbin theywill according to Bnclish opinionlucky

Before that becomes a question of mo-ment however It is that des-perate mrst ba fought andJapanese arc expected to risk ovenheavier casualties than they sustainedsit

In the final endeavor to anni-hilate General Kuropatkin either on theway to Mukden or In the neighborhoodof Mukden Itself The ofKuropatklns force depends say the Eng

observers of struggle in whichthey are so vitally Jntereated uuon theRussian generals ability toconfine theseefforts to rear

EraiSB for KuropatkinGeneral praise is azaiu accorded the

Russian commander for his temporaryextrication and to the Russian troops fortheir splendid discipline in defeat Theysay that if the genius of Kuropatkin andthe morale of his men had not been sostrikingly brought out in therecent diepatches there would bo scarcely an Eng

paper today that would not declarethe fate of General Kurosatklns entirefore sealed

npoints out thttt if General Kuropat-

kin endeavored toama his transport and force would be solarge that his first army corns would

been marching three Says before thesecond start to follow it The railroad Is of little use to him Mr Wilkinson assort and lie says thatmust be in a series of parallelcolumns each not larger than one armycorps and behind these the rear guard

If Kuropatkin can move his armyover the thirty mlle that separate Yentat and ifr Wilkinson says

he will break the record for such per-formances The Jaounese columnshave little in coming up withhis rear guard arm engaging it wheneverthey please

After Lonjjr CenturiesThe Standard For the first time

in centuries Europe has gone down beforeAsia and troops have vanquishedIn fair fighting awestern army

Yet paper goes on to reiterate thatthe crowning triumph for the is

the Japanese Kurapatkindespite his extraordinary achievementla still to disaster

The Dally Telegraph after declaringthat operations and the de-fense of Port Arthur stand out as twofine achievements hlch have dope themoat to the of Russianarms throughout a campaign which otherwise has a story of unfathomable

and disasteradds that the critical moment of the retreat is only likely to be reached whenGeneral Kuropatkln arrives t the Hunriver some miles I south of Mukden

Once across tnis driovia obstacle theRutBian forces wll be ifa sufficient safetythough the of the river bomade a terribly expensive operation Ifthe Russian army gets to in anyconsiderable force Japan will havereached the limit of hem tILLAlthough we arc that she Winmaintain what she conqueredwill have to face the utmost test in a
