Succeeded by Lieutenant General
Count Keller.

1t is announced tonight that Lieu
tenant General ZassaIitch has been re-
leyed of the command of the Second
Siberian army division and that Lieu
tenant General Count Keller. former
governor of EkaterinaslaV has been
appointed to succeed him..
Since the battle of the Yalu. it has
been predicted that General Zassalitch
would nOJ long retain his command.
but there has been no disposition to-
act hastily. The emperors advisers
could not forget that while Zassalitch
did not carry out the plan of opera
lions which had been previously deter
mined upon, he had displayed a stub
born resistance which showed To the
world that Russians had not lost the
courageous spirit of past generations.
What VIII become of Zassalitch,
whether he viii remain iu the far east
OF be assigned TO q less important re-
glou. cannot be learned tonight but it
is emphatically stated that there is no
intention to disgrace him, and that If
he returns from the far east it will be
on sick leave and at his own request.
1t is generally believed that he will
md 1t convenient 10 make such an APP
plicatiOu.
Lieutenant General Count Keller re-
signed the governorship of Ekateriuos-
Law in order TO 60 to the front He is
a soldier rather than administrator.
and is younger than Zassalitch, being
only 81 years Of age. He participated
IN the Turkish wars. In 1887 he COM
manded the imperial rifle regiment,
and later was director of the corps OF
imperial pages by which he was
thrown into frequent contact with the
members of the imperial family, with
whom he is popular. He appears to be
a strategist ana possessed of cool judg-
meut.

Rear Admiral lessen DO not refer TO

1t is said that the Russians would not
have the slightest objection TO the
blockade Of VladivCsLOk since III would
tie up Japanese squadron without

of the Russian squadrOns until the Bal
