CHARACTERIZATION
Wishes to Be Relieved of
Army Command.
Places Linevitch in Charge Be-
cause Of III Health.
Indications Point to Another General
, Russian Attaek-The Situation.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 5.-Interest in the
ill-starred attempt to capture Sande-
pas is eclipsed by the withdrawal OF
Gen. Gripenberg and unconf1rmed re-
ports regarding the retirement OF Gen.
Kuropatkin. According to the latest
information received by the war o.
fee, operations on the right flank OF the
Russian army are at standstlll. Inc
extreme ripht of the Russians contia-
ues to hold Chiantsanheran, on the
Hun river, six miles northwest OF SAN
depas.
Apparently both sides are unable to
move owing to the terrible weather.
There are 25 degrees of frost accom-
panied by wi ind, but in view OF the SUI
den fluctuations in temperature at tiis
time of the year the frost may suddenly
decrease and the Russians would theh
be confronted with the alternative Oh
withdrawing in order to avoid being IN
tercepted by a japanese column from
Shilikho or of undertaking a general
advance, The latter view finds some
confirmation in a dispatch to The AsSo-
ciated Press from Tsinkhetchon, report
ing q reconnaissance by Gen. Rennen-
La,nnff's force on the Russian left,
which perhaps is preliminary to an ad-
vance.
The military authorities here are en-
couraged by the report as showing
that the Russians are able to repeat
the plan of reaching the enemy's line
of communication.
st. Petersburg, eFb. 5.-Rumors of
r., his n
mand to Gen. Linevitch, commander of
the First army, have been current IN
st. Petersburg since the announcement
that Gen. Gripenberg had been relieved
of his command of the Second army.
The Associated Press is unable to OBJ
tain any confirmation of the reports.
The war Office declares they are inn
probable. but is unable to deny them.
According to one report. Gen. Gripen-
berg complained to the Emperor that
Gen. Kuropatkin had refused to sup
port his thanking movement, in view OF
which Cripenberg asked to be relieved
The Emperor, it is added, then tele-
graphed to Kuropatkin. asking for ar
exclamation, in reply to which kuro-
patkin wired that his health was shat
tered and requested permission to turn
over his command to Gen. LinevltCh.
According to the second and more
commonly credited version of the affair
Kuropatkin complained to the Emperor
that Gripenberg undertook the thanking
movement in defiance of orders and de
manded the generals dismissal.
Gripenbergs withdrawal has moi
changed the situation. The Russians
continue to hold their positions arount
SandepaS.

TIE YAZOO POST OFFICE CASE

Mr.. Roosevelt and the postoffice de-
partment were not in such a hurry to
take up the case of that YazoO negro
who claimed to have been ill treated
because he accepted a position as clerk
in the postOffice of that city. While
they stood by their first action in the
case of Minnie Cox of the Indianola
postOftice and kept the people of that
town deprived of the conveniences of
a pOstoffice for a long time, they evil
IDENTIFY found they had made a mistake
and were glad to let the case go off as
it did. Both sides stood firm. The
president of course, would not admit
that he had made a mistake or com
mitted a wrong. The conditions were
righted through the dropping off Of re-
ceipts of the Office and the controversy
died a natural death. But when a
similar case arose in Yazoo the presr,
ident was careful not to jump to con
clusions on the ex, parte statement of
'he heSIo CoHlIHS W uIm Will d Siie'-
ance. He was going to be more care
full than in the Indianola affair. He
found that his time UP to his departure
On his tour to the southwest would be
so taken up with other business that
he could not give attention to this
matter, and the negro was referred to
the civil service commission. There
no doubt the case will rest.
In the mean time there m from
Yazoo a denial by the white people OF
the negro's story of ill treatment and
the statement hat he is wanted there
for carrying a concealed deadly wea-
pOn.
