Russia Short Of Ammunition.

st. Petersburg, May pa copyright
cable dispatch TO the New York Amsri-
can says: Real concern is felt in official
circles over the fact that quantities of
war munitions urgently needed In the
far east, and which were supposed to be
on hand. are not to be found, and it is
said that these discoveries are hamper
ing operations at the front. Ammuni-
ton and equipments of all descriptions
are gone. The czar. 1t is understood,
has ordered a searching investigation,
and it is limited that a scandal is i'm
pending which will involve many high
officials in widespread conspiracy Of
looting. 1t is said that the guilty will
be punished without mercy and that
sweeping reforms in both the war and
navy departments will be made which
will minimize the chances for such cor
ruption in the future. A we'll known
officer said today:
ut cannot be doubted that Russia's
unpreparedness is due largely to these
populations and the loose methods in
both war and naval establishments.
Kuropatkin now is hampered by lack OF
supplies and facilities, which he had
every reason to believe We're at his
command. Recreant and corrupt Rus
sian officials have been more potent
than the Japanese in bringing discredit
on Russian arms
