London, Sept. 8.—The Central News has a dispatch from St. Petersburg which says thai, it is- rumored at Mukden that General Kuroki, the oom" mander-in-chief of the Japanese laud forces, has been killed. An officer of the general staff said last night: Several of the mob were fatally wounded, but owing to the intense excitement it is ynpossible to learn full details. "I believe it is safe to say that General Kuropatkin's army is now out of danger. Our advices since Monday indicate that the fighting is of an insignificant character, and I do not believe that the tired Japanese troops are capable of seriously threatening the line of retreat. The greatest difficulty our army is now having to contend with is the terrible roads owing to the rain of Monday and Tuesday. Tlie first maneuver problem closed with General Grunt's force pushed through the left wing of General Bell. This put the blue force within two miles Cif Thoroughfare gap, the objective point. However, General Bell had Smith's brigade on the right and Hurry's brigade on the left of this breach In his line, and Colonei Wagner, thief umpire, draws no. conclusion as to what might happen had not hostilities ceased under the command previously Issued by General Corbln to cease hostilities so that the tired troops might be given relief.

While General Bell was falling back to the new lino from the Carolina road, which had been the scene of conflict the day before. General Grant occupied the hours between midnight and daylight in concentrating his forces for an attack on the browu left.

It is regarded as certain that Kuropatkin will give battle somewhere south of Theiling unless he should abandon all his stores at Mukden and by entraining ids soldiers get most of them north. To do this lie will probably have to sacrifice his rear guard, which will not be able to arrive at Mukden in advance of a superior division of Japanese soldiers. Murder Instead of Money.
