VICTORY FOR LINEVlTCH
IS not CONSIDERED

st. Petersburg, June 2S.-A rumo,
spread throughout the city last nioh1
that Gen. Kuropatkin had been kilied
The rumor was. connected sometimee
with report that 10000 Russians
had been out of by Gen. Noei's army
and that Kuropatkin had been taken
prisoner.
Nothing confrmatory Of these RI.
mors has been received either by the
general staff or in press dispatches.
The members Of the general staff sav
that no reports Of special importance
have bean received. A report received
from Gen. Linevitch indicates that the
Japanese advance continues steadily.
and that the Russian van posts, under
pressure, are retiring fighting.
The military experts take anything
but hopeful view Of Gen. Linevitch's
position. They do not believe he can

perts do not consider the possibility Of
Russian victory. Linevitoh's retire.

Vladivostok eeem TO be regarded az

shall Oyama strikes.
The latest news from the front,
which is So hours old, says Oyama,
after forcing back the Russian right
and center, transferred his weight
against the left, compelling the Rus.
slams to give ground there also. The
military critics, however, agree that
the frontal movement is merely feint
for the enveloping Of one or both OF
the Russian wings, without which
nothing in the shape of decisive vic.
tory is possible.
The impression among military OK.
perts is that Oyams. profiting by past
experiences, is moro carefully prepar-
ing his turning operations, but by the
same token the Russian staff declares
that Linevitch has taken ample pre-
cautions to keep in touch with fsnkine
movements and that it is not possible
to take him by surprise.
