The Russians Cut Off. St. Petersburg, March 10.â€"St. Petersâ€" burg yesterday knew nothing of the outcome of the battle of Mukden, or of the fate of Gen. Kuropatkin‘s beaten army. The most Aimportant news reâ€" ceived from Russlan sources is the inâ€" formatfon that the Japanese already have reached the Hun River. Fu Pass is 12 miles east of Mukden, and well westward of Gen. Linevitch‘s line of retreat. It is probable that unless the Russians are able to defend the cross~ ing at‘Fu Pass, Gen. Rennenkampfi‘s corps, and perhaps additional forces, will be cut off and have to shift for themselves in the mountainous region north of Fushan against expeditionary forces of Japanese, which are reported from Chinese sources to be racing toâ€" Tokio, March 10.â€"The continuous battle is already the bloodiest of : the war. Upon the ground that Gen. Oku alone gained are eight thousand‘Rusâ€" sian dead. The reports from the other armles are expected to triple this figâ€" ure,. It is estimated that the Japanese have lost 50,900, making the joint slaughter far exceeded by one hundred thousand men. Details of the combat are jJacking, but it is believed that the Japanese have cut the rallway north o# Mukden, leaving only the roadways and & light railway from Fushun to Tie Pass as avenues for the retreat of the Rusâ€" Newchwang, March 10.â€"It is reported that Tie Pass has been invested by the Japanese, and that Gen.
