Paris. June 4.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Echo de Paris
telegraphs that the taking Of Kinchau
and the march Of the Japanese on
Port Arthur has increased the misun-
derstanding between Viceroy Alexieff
and General Kuropatkin.
The former, who never has seen
active service, desires General Kuro-
patkin to march his army to the relief
of Port Arthur. Kuropatkin insists he
should wait for reinforcements. AS a.
consequence there was violent discus
sion between them when they met the
other day at Mukden.
Alexieff insisted on the necessity Of
saving Port Arthur so as to keep a.
base for the f1et and obviate the fatal
blow its capture would inf1ict on Rus
after the way in which the Japanese
had taken Kinchau there was no guar
anteetng they would not sacrifice an
enormous number Of men to take Port
Arthur SO the Russian armies, there
fore, should go to its relief.
On the other hand, General Kuro-
patkin argue that the Russian forces
! at Lao-yang were not strong enough
| for a forward movement, having
Kurokl in his front and the Japanese
army that landed atTanku-shan on his
left. He thought it wise to stay at
Liao-yang until he had 100000 men at
his disposal, and leave Port Arthur to
defend itself. Moreover, he declared
its capture by the Japanese would be
Of no strategic Importance

London, June 4.-General Kuro-
patkin's predicament ehcits the pro-
| fessional sympathy Of even British SOL
diers, who say that he is between the

Gus strategic wisdom and equally OBJ

lowing language Of Die Rsiehswehr,
