RUSSIAN ApMIRALs RECALLED.
Both kaznakoff and Skrydloff to Be
Relieved.

g Petersburg. Dec. 30.-Admira
Kaznakofc is returning to Russia ana
will be replaced by Vice Admiral D"u-
bassoff as Russian commissioner on the
international commission at Paris
which is to enquire into the North sea
incident. Doubassoff starts for Paris,
next week.
/. Vice Admiral Doubassof is chairman
Of the technical board OF the admiralty.
In April last he was appointed TO COM
mand the Russian Black Sea fleet but
declined to accept the post. He enjoys
the greatest esteem of the officers OF
the Russian navy.
Admiral Kaznakoff is returning be-
cause Of ill-health. 1t seems not yet de-
termincd absolutely whether he Will be
able to continue as member of the
commission. At the admiralty the news
Of his breakdown did not cause sur
prise, it being feared when he was ap-
pointed that he could not support the
strain.
Vice Admiral Doubassoff was given
audience by the Emperor just before
His Majcstys departure for the South.
This is regarded as confirmation of the
report that Doubassoff is 20 replace Ad-
miral Kaznakoff on the North sea COM
mission. 1t is understood that DoubaS-
soft would have been sent TO Paris il
the first place, but for the fact that
the Emperor did not wish to spare him
from the important work of the naval
technical committee.
