GEN. GRIPENBERG rs OUT.
Quarrel with Kuropatkln Results in His
Retirement

sp,cial Cable Despafchts 10 THE sun
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 6.-The question
Of the acceptance of Gen. Kuropatkin's
resignation was considered to-day. but
the difficulty caused by the Generals dis
sension was solved by the acceptance OF
the resignation Of Gen. Gripenberg.
The same widespread and high placed
influences which agitated for Gen. Kuro-
patkin's removal after the battle Of Lao
yang are now endeavoring 10 induce the
Emperor to accept his rendered resigna-
ton. 1t is suggested that either Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicolaieytch a cousin OF
the Emperor, who commands the Russian
cavalry Gen Sakharoh, Minister Of War,
or Gen. J. inieyitch. commanding the First
Army in Manchuria be appointed 10 succeed
Gen kuropatkn as Commander-in-C Chief.
Gen Kuropatkn reports that Japanese

and that the japanese have been driven out

PARIS. Feb. G.--The St. Petersburg cor
respondent Of the Echo dc PARIS says that
he has good authority for believing that the
following telegram was addressed TO Rus
sian military headquarters by Gen. Grpen-
berg, commander Of the Second Manchurian
army: we had taken several fortified
positions. but not being supported in time
had to retire. During the retreat l lost
10 900 men
The st. Petersburg correspondent OF the
Petit journal learns that the return Of Gen.
Kuropatdn has been Professionally decided
upon. But he says it Is exclusively due to
reasons of health. Cen Kuropatldn, he
says is suffering from cerebral anemIa.
The Figaro on the contrary. declares that
there il not an atom of truth in the report
that Gen. Kuropatkin is TO be recalled.

LONDON, Feb. THE st. Petersburg
correspondent OF the Chronicle asserts that
Gen. Gnpenberg's reverse and the apparent
impossihiiity Of gaining victory over
the Japanese have caused the Grand Duoal
party to review the situation. with the
result that it has decided In favor OF peace.
The announcement that Gen. Kuropat-
kin might be recalled was really started in
order that negotiations to terminate the
war might he facilitated
The correspondent says he knows that
the Russian representatives in Paris have
been instructed to take whatever steps
they deem advisable TO secure the good
will of Great Britain, with the object Of
obtaining the most favorable terms from
Japan. Count BenckendorT. the Russian
Ambassador at London, was In st. Peters-
burg last week in connection with the situa-
ton, and he was similarly instructed.
