REGRETS MUKDEN'S RETREAT.
Believes That the Peril of the Army
at That Juncture OVer-Estimated
and That the Day Was Far From
Lost When Retreat Was Ordered.

Gunshu Pass, May General Line
Associated Press at his headquarters
here in the course of which he eX-
pressed himself as highly satisfied
with the present condition of the Rus
sian army and its readiness to assume
the offensive He manifested en-
phatic regret for the retreat from
Mukden. The new commander-in-chief
believes that the peril to the army at
that juncture was over-estimated, and
that the day was far from being lost
when the retreat was ordered. with
his eyes cleaning with a great energy
and emphasizing his words with a
blow upon the camp table before him,
General Linevitch exclaimed:

treated 1 realize that it is easy now

facts, but nevertheless l repeat l

ed Kuropatkin to stand at Tie Pass
and we halted there for time. We
could have remained, but on account
of the factors he considered it mex
pedient, and the retirement was con-
tinued. After assuming command l
gave the men a days rest. The
Japanese did not press us, and could
not do so, as their condition was
quite as bad as ours. AS for that
unfortunate retirement itself, any OBJ
server can convince himself that it's
significance and especially it's infiu-
ence upon the army has been indus
triously and greatly exaggerated by
the Japanese and the foreign press.
The retreat was in no sense in the
nature of a complete rout, proof of
which is evident in the fact that in
less than a month after the retreat
the two armies were thrown into con-
fusion by the Japanese, had been col
lected and fully reOrganized. The
first army did not require this, hav-
ing retired in order.
General Linevitch attributes the
great success of the first army during
the retreat to the relatively more ad-
vantageous position in which it was
located. He admitted that there were
heavy losses in both men and ma
terial during the retirement, especi-
ally to the wagon train, but he de-
clared this was also exaggerated.
Touching the breaking through of the
Japanese at the Hun river on March
8, General Linevitch said he did not,
nor did he now attach real signifi-
canoe to it, believing that this force
was not greater than two companies
| of scouts or small bodies of cavalry,
and he believes that the report that
Japanese artillery was in action east
of the Great Manchurian road on
| March 10 was based on miscalcula-
| ton.
General Linevitch also discussed
| the Grippenburg incident, taking the
part of General Kuropatkin as against
| his former subordinate, and finished
with an expression of good will to-
ward the press in the present war
After an expression of regret that
so much harm had been done before
