Berlin, Sept. PA dispatch from st.
Petersburg to the Tageblatt, apparent
ly prompted by the Russian war de-
partment. puts the blame for General
orloff's failure to hold the Yentai coal
mines equally upon Alexieff and orloff.
The correspondent says:
"Alexieff detained Orion on trivial
pretexts so that, when he reached the
mines at noon on September /. he was
uniformed as to the situation. Sam
sonoff transmitted Kuropatkin's order
to hold the mines at all costs; but
when orloff heard the cannonade in the
direction Of Skywantun he marched to-.
ward the later place, leaving Samson
off alone TO hold the mines. Kuroki
fell on the left flank half an hour aft
erward. orloff was completely sur
prised. The troops, who were composed
of reservists long out of service, be-
came uncomfortable and broke, going
in the direction of Yentai instead OF
the mines"
