This corrispoiideid adds that ho believes that (Jen.

Gen. KePernberg, a Russian com- mander, is d.\ing at Mukden, both his legs having been shot off. The Japanese losses were terrible. The slaughter on both sides is believed to outrival th(! records of (hn world's great battles. tireaking up of tho ice in the north- ern aroa of the Japanese and Chii.ese .Seas, togethi'r with tho appearance of a .lapanese fleet at .Singapore, and the reported departure of Admiral HojestMiisky froi i Madai;ascar for the I'ar l-'ast, again calls attention to the naval side of tho war. It is known, of course, that the .Japaneso have been for a long (imo scouting the channels of the I'/ast Inclics, but the appearance of a numerous squad- ron so far west as Singnp(u-e has not been previously reiioiled.

Prince Khilkol'f atlds that his department is still eiicrgeti- call.v engaged, as for a year past. in supplying tho arm.v. All its plans are now concerned with tho desinilch of fresh troops and muni- tions over the Trans-Siberian Rail- way." Recenll./ IS iiisteail of 21 tiains (hiili.' have been dosp:\tche(l. This to he attributed more to the fact that the snow is delay in;; trans- portation than to trouble with the emplo.ves of the raiLva.v. 1'liese troubles were less s;erious than those in Kuropenn Russia, becausa inmiedi- nto concessions were n.ade to the uun's fleinands. I'riiu-e KhilkoiT believes that Gen. Kouropatkin ciwi withdraw his arm.v as an org.xnized force. He instances the fact that the Conu'.uinder-in- Chief removed 'I'l.OOO wounded from Mukden while (he .lapanese envelop- ing was being carried out, which shows that his force retains an or- derly defensive fonnalion. J>espit-.i tho Minister's statements, it is (he cons'iisus of opiniiui among (hose best inforn.od as to tho situa- tion in .Manchuria, (hat the Russians are unal le to make a successful re- ticat to llarl.'in, and that it will br." a most dillicult task to mobilize a new aTin.v. The grain stored tl ri.ughout t'le winter alongside the .Southirn and Central Russian lail- wa.v lines ia sprouting since tho thaw, and is now useless. This fact is assisting the rapid spread of tho peasant rising aiul ;ho destruction of Government propirty. The 'act that the railway cars were nionopoUzed i).v the Trans-.SIberian line prevented the (Joverninent from moving the giuin from great wheat areas to market.
