LONDON March dispatch to the Evening Standard from itsSt Petersburgs correspondent says a fierce battle is proceeding northof Tieling

A dispatch to the Reuter Telegram Company from General Okusheadquarters announces that the pursuit of the Russians is being kept upwith the same vigor that has marked all the Japanese efforts to overtaketho enemy

An unconfirmed report has been here to the effect that theJapanese suceeecled in cutting off Kuropatkins retreat

Opinions are conflicting as to whether the Russian armya retreat steadily to the northward or will attempt to effect a junction withthe Russian forces at Vladivostok

It is believed that a fresh Japanesejirmy 7 which sailed from Japanin January has landed near Vladivostok and that the Japanese are nowtrying to envelope the Russian army and Invest Vladivostok

This would leave the Russians no alternative but capitulation annihilation

According to the St Petersburg correspondent of the Chronicle officials of the ministry of war say that the Russian army is not retiring toHarbin but tbKirln and Vladivostok

The Tokyo correspondent of the Telegraph declares that the Russiansare so shattered that the Japanese are now able to act independently

The Russiat force are fighting intheir fortified positions to the north ofTiding with flerceness desperation and

knowledge that defeat means a disasterthe least form of which would be a tarrible retreat for hundreds of verstslacking all supplies and ammunitIon

The exhausted troops are harassed bythe Japanese who are declared this timeto be bent on a fight for the extermination of the foe The military attachesarid correspondents with the staff losttheir entire baggage The former havehurried back to Harbin

IJapaneseRecall 01 Kuropatkin

Gratifying toLONDON March 17 The prevailing

opinion in military circles is that Russin has not bettered herself in the NearEast by the recall of Kuropatkin

Competent critics do not believe anyother Russian general possesses Kuropatkins ability They consider that af

rrethods he is better fitted than anyoneelse to continue with the Czars troops

Throughout the war foreign militaryexperts have consistently held Kuropatkins generalship blameless for theRussian defeats and have awardedhim the highest praise for his abilityIn extricating the army from dangerouspredicaments The opinion prevailsthat he Is being sacrificed for the sinsof the bureaucracy

Japan Is PleasedThrough numerous conversations with

Japanese diplomats during the waryour correspondent knows that the Japanese hold Kuropatkin in the greatestrespect Many times when Europeanmilitary experts were thatthe Russian army would be surroundedor annihilated the Japanese diplomatsexpressed their skepticism Whenasked why they invariably replied as asufficient answer
