Mott of the English critics look for repetition of the Liao Yang b'.le at Tiding or In that neighborhood. Scarcely any London newspapers believe that Kuropatkln haa brought the bulk of his forces with him to Mukden. It is pointed out that neither side is nkely to rink the desecration of (he Imperial tombs by a pitched battle si Mukden, tha cradle of the Dynasty, and tha mecca of all guod Manchurian.

The general stall is nut displaying great anxiety over the alarmist reports that General Kiirupatkiu is iu serious danger of being cut olf but if they hail any information from the front with dais they have not revealed it. The members also decline to say, even it they knew, whether General Kurop-atklpurposes taking hia army north of Mukden. An officer of tha general staff said to the Associated Iresa Wednesday night: "1 believe it is safe to say that Gen. Ktirupat kin's army is now out of danger. Our advices since Monday indicate tbai the fighting ia of an character and I do not believe that the tired Japanese troops are capable of seriously threatening the hue or retreat. The greatest difficulty our army ia now having to contend with ia the terrible roads owing to Ilia ram of Monday and Tuesday. Our informal ion la that, the bulk of the baggage haa already passed through Mukden. This ia the usual procedure iu case of any retreat. Kuropatklu's movements, alter all, must depend chiefly on the tactics of the Japanese with whom lies the initiative. If the Japanese continue to press north in the' hope of cutting off the Russians and bringing them to bay then Kuropatkln will be obliged to move north to circumvent them. But both armies already are terribly exhausted and if they again come into grip the result will depend largely upon which of them is able to throw the most fresh reserves into the fight. If there ia a race northward it la apparent that the greatest danger will come at the narrow defile of Tichling, north of Mukden but the authorities seem fairly well sal tailed with (he situation and are confident of ila ultimate outcome, n London, epL 8. The Daily Mail's Kupangtse correspondent, cabling under date of September 7th, says: Rail cars at the rate or eighty a day, loaded with wounded, are passing through the station for Mukden. The shrapnel injuries are frightful and a majority of the men succumbed on the Journey to the hospital. Correspondents arriving here keenly resent their treatment by the Japanese and declare that they see nothing of the war. They are treated as though they were spies, while native correspondent a are permitted to see the fighting and telegraph freely.

Sept. 7. A correspondent has juat arrived here after a Journey covering a distance of 120 milea from Slntalntln (East of Mukden), and aaya that during the latter part of hia Journey he could hear the fighting at Liao Yang. The correspondent aaya: "The whole country is aflame with the wildest and most contradictory rumors. "The principal Interest In the situation Is in ths fact that the Chinese population is becoming more with the advance of the Japanese army VMukdea itself Is overcrowded and it is almost impossible to get food or a place to sleep.- "Everywhere there la the greatest ..uproar and confusion and many families are leaving in the direction of Harbin. The soldiers, however, are not all disheartened at the result of the fight and they sty that the Japanese losses are so tremendous as to seriously weaken teem. They declare that they have made the Japanese pay Infinitely more for Liao Yang than it wii worth. "I visited M.

No official report of Kuropatkln movements had been but the Kokumln aaya it 1 earns on good authority that Kuroki after taking the hrighls near Helying-sta- l, about fifteen miles northeast of Liao Yang, occupied a line from Yen-t- al a to the mines by pursiut of the Sept 4 and 5th. The Russians who were said (0 be concentrated 20 miles north of Liao Yang, are now retreating In the direction of Mukden. The pursuit was obstructed by the high millet. The Russians destroyed their stories but numlier of guns and quantities of ammunitions and supplies were captured In the fortifications and near the railroad station. The Nichi Nlchl says it thinks tho Japanese casualties msy exceed those of the Russians owing to the latter having occupied fortified positions In superior numbers. Preliminary regulations for the national guard was gaxettod today. The report, that the Russians havs occupied Slnmlntln about thirty miles west of Mukden, is denied but a large force of Chinese bandits is displaying activity In the vicinity of 8lnmlntln, but It la supposed that tha Russians will not take action unless compelled to do aa Rua-aiau- reported by numerous Chinese refugees as having occurred before Port Arthur between August 27th and Sit I, occurred chiefly on the first two days mentioned, the Japanese thereafter directing their efforta almost entirely to holding the positions they had obtained.
