fortunate man had failed, one day, to

commissioning the vessels OF the vol

the Dardanelles bound for the far east,
to hoist the Russian war flag and seize

1t is understood the emperor has CEN

WINGED that important news is being kept

confirming the rumors noted in yester-

MISTAKES OF RUSSIAN ARMY.
II. j. Whigham Explains How kuro-
patkin Has been OverrruIed.

London. July 26.-The war has been COM
pletely overshadowed the last week by
the political situation arising from the
affairs of the Red sea. The most interest
Ing feature reaching London Is another
Illuminating letter from II. j. Whigham,
dated at AIukden. June II. This shows
how. when the Japanese commenced the
advance on Lioayong General Kuropatkin
had less than $1,000 troops, scattered from
Fengwangcheng on the east to Newt
chMang on the west. Ka.chou on the
south and Mukden on the north. They
We're at Kuroki's mercy, but the latter
elected to go back.
Then Russian reinforcements began to
arrive in earnest. k%uropatkin with n
steadily growing army held an excellent
defensive position at Haicheng and Lao
yang. Obviously 1t was his game to sit
down at L!aoyang and let his army grow
till after the rains.
But Niceroy Alexier. Russia's evil ge-
Mus of war. was keeping a sort of royal
state only a few miles from Kuropatkin's
headquarters. On his advice General
k~uropatkin was ordered, against his bet
ter Judgment, to send General Stacked
berg to relieve Port Arthur. Thus the
Russian army was again strung out, while
the relieving force entered a death trap.
at Nafangow. which resulted in drawing
the main army from its base.
Alexieffs Real Motive.
Alexien's motive was to ave his own
face, no matter what the cost. "He de-
termined by every effort and at whatever
risk to save the fortress, the fall whereof
would destroy forever his already tar
nished reputation"
Mr.. Whigham describes Alexieff as "a
stupid, obstinate man. 1t was entirely
his fault that difficulties were put in he
way of the foreign consuls coming to Man
churia. His subordinates implored vain
ly, but similarly in every way he chose
to %irritate England. America and Japan.
When Informed of the preparations of
the Japanese he told the intelligence Of
ficers they ought to do their work better
and not bring them fanciful tales.
Alexicff now Is he laughing stock of
the coolies in the streets of Mukden and
kirin. He lives in an incloscd space, to
enter which correspondents are specially
forbidden even to ask, and from hence
he issues bombastic DEGREES whereat tho
Chinese who are Intelligent enough to
read simply laugh.
"AleXieff,' continues Mr.. Whigham, sis
still q great power within n radius of 200
yards of Mukden and the railway station,
but outside that Russians and foreigners
alike, ever the Chinese, laugh at the i'm
perial airs of the little Armenian but

window to look out and see If the
