KUROPATKIN’S REINFORCEMENTS. RUSSIAN TROOPS DESERTING. It is reported at Shanghai that 50,000 dark skinned Don Russian troops have reinforced General Kuropatkin. Military desertions are so frequent rhat the Russian police are hardly able to cope with them. Private advices show that during \dmiral Withoeft’s sortie from Port Arthur last month the Japanese took great pains not to hit the hospital ship Mongolia and signalled her to steer where she would avoid torpedoes. RUSSIAN ARMY DEMORALISED. The documents found at Liaoyang included general orders showing that the commander of the second Ural Cossacks was cashiered for abandoning important positions on the mere rumours of the Japanese approach. Others were cashiered for a lack of discipline. Admiral Alexieff, Russian Viceroy in the Par East, on July 18th, rebuked non-commissioned officers for assaults on native women.
