JV^a^jpatcb from St. Petersburg says iT\ Llaeviboh oontinucH th9 retirement qt the bulk of his army northward. The general staff declares that It Is certain that Field Marshal Oyama has been compelled to re"nqulsh the Idea of pursuit in force for the present. The Japanese forces on the Russian flanks are too light to constitute a serious danger and a lull In heavy lighting for several weeks, if not months, is predicted. Stung by the wholesale criticism heaped upon the war oftlce for its un- 1 preparedness and incapacity In providing the Manchurian army with men, guns and munitions, the army organ lays bare what has been done since the opening cf hostilities, giving exact figures which show that up to March 12, the war oflloe had dispatched 13,087 otllcers, 761,467 men, 146,408 h rses, 1,621 guns and 316,321 tons of munitions and supplies to the front, declaring that transportation strained the Siberian railroad to the utjnost capacity. The army organ admits that the army in the far East when the war opened was hardly worth the name (no tigures being given, but It is known that the troops did not exceed 60,000), defending this on the ground that Emperor Nicholas desired to avoid war and therefore refrained from sending reinforcements which surely would have provoked it Criticism of the war office's failure adequately to supply Port Arthur is ? met by a statement that it was provisioned for a garrison of twelve battalions, the decision to put thirty bat taltons being taken ho late that the original calculations could not be remedied. While afllrmlng that the quick firing and field guns of the Russians are superior to the Japanese the war office explains that the misfortune In the Insufficiency of mountain guns Is due to the faot that when the war broke out Russia was Just adopting a new pattern. It Is denied that the war office was deceived In regard to the available strength of the Japanese army or organization of Japanese reserves, but the army organ frankly admits that tho talents of the officers and wonderful spirit of the soldiers were mlscal culated. The publication of this article has orcated a sensation among military men and in public clroles, many of the former oensuring the general staff for disclosing va'uable military secrets and the latter finding from the figures a practical ad mission that the war has cost almost a half million men, killer) TTfiri wmmded, prisoners and sick As a whole the" army ih the far K ?s . I.n now believed not to exced 300,000. FisR I ILIZ tt J? A i Jb8. An Important Circular IhhikmI by tho Kail ltoad DomtnlHBlon.

The Oame of War Played Sad Havoc With Rusian Officers iU'iu?ik*blfl Numbor of General* and Admiral* Killed, Iteealled or Captured. The New York Evening Mall nays on- of the remarkable 0 atures f the pr* sent situation lo regard to the Rosso-Japane e w ar is the devastation ?it can be call d by no other term? t hat has been wr<>uirht in the ranks of Russia's cocotilanders, both naval and uiilltary, writes II. O Wilson In the London Express. Since the beginning of the cooillct over a d. z<m Russian generals and nearly as many ad mlrtl* have been plac d out of aotion ?k'lied, captured, severely wounded or disgrac d. It is the number of men of commanding rank who fall under the last named heading that gives the matter Its most serious aspect. Nothlug has been more noticeable of late than the dissensions, the b ck eriugs and the quarrels between the Russian commanders In the field. Gen. Smyrot IT, himself a prisoner, bitterly criticises Gen. Stoessel; Gen. Grlpenberg roundly accuses Gen. Kuropatkin of being the cause of his defeat and downfall; the military officers who dt fended Port Arthur blame tho naval commanders for their lack of success, and the admirals pass the blame along to Viceroy Al"xleff. What has become of the (lower of the Russian commanding officers? Of 28 men of the rank of general with whose umiicn v iv war nas maae us ramlllar, more than half are now out of action. Of 15 admirals, three have been killed, four are recalled and In disgrace, and four are prisoners of the Japanese. The remaining four are of almost as little account. One, Admiral Jessen commands the sole remnant of the Russian Pacitlc licet at Vladivostok, and the other three are loitering about at sea with tho various sections of the discredited Baltic fleet. IIow are the mighty fallen! The following list shows what has happened to 28 generals and 14 admiral since tho beginning of the war. OKNKIIAL8. Stoessel?Prisoner on parole. Oripenberg?Recalled In disgrace. Orlofl?Recalled, In disgrace. Trusoflf?Recalled, In disgrace. Keller?Killed at Motienling. Kondretchenko?Killed at Port Ar thur. Tserpltsy?Killed at Port Arthur.

RoJ' St vensky?Near Madagascar. F< lkcrsahm?L ltering at sea. Rotorvosky?Loitering at sea. It is a distressing list, and but little oomfortiug to Ru&dan pride. It is even more terrible by comparison with-the almost complete immunity of the Japanese. So far as can be ascertained, the Japanese have lost but one oflleer of the rank of general, killed in action at Port Arthus, and two of the rank of admiral, both of whom were drowned In the sinking of the battleship Ilatsuse. Not one has been captured by the Russians and none have been recalled. A striking contrast, indeed. Port Arthur was, of course, respon sible for a large proportion of the Itusslan losses. Admiral MakharofT and Molas were drowned in the sinking of the battleship Petropavlovsk on April 13; Admiral Witgeft met his death In the fatal sortie of August 10 whloh was also the oause of Prince Ukhtomsky's disgrace; and four admirals fell Into the hands of the Japanese with the surrender of Port Arthur. Admiral Starck was recalled soon after the beginning of the war for incompetency, It was stated. SkrydloiT and Besobrazt ff were failures at Vladivostok, though the former was credited?wrongly, as is now believed?with the successful raids on the Japanese transports. Viceroy Alexleff has fallen into disgrace not only with the government, but also with the people, for his general conduct of affairs. Of the fallen generals, ten are victims of Port Arthus, two of them? Kondratchenko and Tserlptey?finding a grave there and the rest surrendering. Two? Kialinsky and Smolensky?were killed in the battle on the Shakhe; Count Keller lost his life in the desperate attempt to retake the Motienllng pass, It mtkovsky fell at Liao Yang, and Kashtallnsky and Kondratovitch were severely wounded before the Japanese occupied that stronghold. Of the three generals in disgrace, Gripenberg's offense was in bringing about disaster at Helkoutat, Orloff's at Llao Yang and Truscffli at Kiulienoht ng. It is still possible that this list may be inoreased by the reoall of Linepitch, Bllderllng, or even Kuropatkin blmself. The command of the vast irmles which are vainly seeking for rlotory over the Japanese seems to lave devolved up >n some half dozen generals of no pirticu'ar note, with die exception of Kuropatkin, who, it nust be admitted, has done very Utile to maintain his -great reputation. T" -""h X'." are *** ""'TiuVo . fool or a coward," said Maoaulay on oue occasion, "but never by a debating society." And that seems to be a Qtting description of the remnant ot, Russia's oommandlng > ffloers.
