zASSALITCH
RELIEVED
He DiSobeyed Orders At the
Yalu Fight.
AT SIUNG-Y -CHENG.
japanese Make Landing There
Covered By the Fire of
Their Ships.

LONDON, May 1S.-Advices from St
Petersburg say the following telegram
from General Kuropatkin to the en-
peror has been given out;
Toward noon seventeen steamers
approached Siungyuecheng and opened
fire upon the town, while five vessels
approached the shore.
AT 1870 p. m. three large steamers
appeared Off the cape, and at 800 p. IN.
the enemy landed at Huangtsiatung
and commenced march in the dlrec-
ton of Kalping"
1t was announced last night at st.
Petersburg that Lieutenant General
Zassalitch had been relieved Of the
command of the Second Siberian army
division and that Lieutenant General
Count Keller, former governor Of Eka-
terinoslav, had been appointed to sue
ceed him.
All dispatches from the theater of
war indicate that the japanese are in
full possession of the entire lower por-
ton of the Liautong peninsula and are
marching on LiaOyang. All indications
are that unless the rumOred intention
TO withdraw TO Mukden is carried out
by General Kuropatkin tremendous
battle will be fought very soon at or
near Liaoyang.
There is japanese force thirty
miles to the northeast of Mukden, and
military experts declare that General
KuropatEn, with 100000 men, is being
surrounded by 100000, under KuToki.
and is being forced into a position OF
the gravest peril.
They hold, however, that General
Linevitch's movement In upper Korea
is far more important than has yet
been indicated the belief being that
the Russian leader Is about TO make a
sudden descent on the principal Korean
towns, the results OF which will be
exceedingly disastrous TO the Japanese
rear guard and its line of communica-
ton.
A member OF the general staff said
that the removal of the guns from the
Notifications erected at Kinchau and
the destruction of Port Dalny were
primarily for the purpose of concen-
trating the entire Russian force at
Port Arthur. II the men and guns
were scattered the effect would have
been to distribute the means of de-
fense OF the fortress over a number Of
points strateglcally weak. The destruc-
tion of Dalny was the result of no sud
den determination, but was due to the
that force attempting to
hold this place could be separated from
Port Arthur and captured. To defend
the whole Of the southern end of the |
Laotung peninsula II would have been |
necessary to have an army equal to
that which the Japanese could have
landed.
The destruction OF Dnlny Is com
plete the breAkwater and the build |
ings as we'll as the piers and docks
having been blown up.
A Mukden dispatch says II is an
nouneed there that the main body of
the Japanese forces is advancing on
about ton miles southeast OF
Nswchwang, and Raiping Katchou),
about thirty-ivs miles south Of New
chwang, and that a smaller force is
marching In the direction of Liaoyang.
Important developments are probable.
