St. Petersburg, March 17.-Decided anxiety is felt regarding the fate of the army in Manchuria under it's new commander. no news of military de- ve!Opments- during the last three days having been received. The only dis patches from the front are brief an nouncements yesterday that General Linevitch had assumed command and that Kuropatkin was departing for St Petersburg disposing of the ruInor that Nuropatkin had committed suicide and an Associated Press Changtufu dis patch filed on the morning of March 16. aTfd written at the station of Kali yuan, which was then held by the Rus sians. In this correspondents opisi0n To pause in the Japanese advance is probable for some time. The Russians are losing heavily in rear guard ac- tions. and Japanese columns are re- ported to be pushing northward as fast as possible to complete the envelop- ment of the Russian forces.
 General Linevitch will have a con- siderable accession of fresh troops in a dc-- or two, the fourth European corps being now at Harbin and de- parting sOuthward. Military officers declare that there are now 26S, ,00O men at General Liuevi.ch's disposal in Manchuria and it is believed this force will be sufficient to cause Japanese to exercise greater caution in their pur- suit.

HIS FEET WERE CLAY.
Why Huropatkin, the Long Time Idol,
 Was Dismissed.

St. Petersburg. March IT. 1 a. m.- With the Japanese hanging on the heels and Hanks of the remnants Of the broken and defeated army. Kuropatkin the old idol of the private soldier has been dismissed and diseraced, and Gen. Iinevitch, commander of the first army. is appointed to succeed him in command of all the Russian land and sea forces operating against the Jap anese. The word disgrace is written in large letters in the laconic imperial order which contains not a single word in praise of Kuropatkin. Russian military annals contain a no more bit ter imperial rebul1e
 It transpres that the emperor de- termined that this step was necessary when it had become apparent yester- day morning that Kuropatlliu. while concentrating for stand at Tie Pass seemed unaware that the Japanese had worked around to the westward again and practically allowed himself to be surprised. It was considered impera- tive, therefore, in view of the exceed ingly periIous position of the army to turn over the command to Linevitch. who alone was able to bring off his army in order after the battle of AIuk- den.
 Linevitch's record during the Chi Eese war also demonstrated his capa- city as a commander. Kuropatl5in will return to St. Petersburg forthwith. The task confided to Linevitch or withdrawing what is left of the great army of 35O,00O men to Harbin is a desperate one. He is hemmed in on all sides. A consummation of the Muk- den disaster is feared. Napoleon 8 plight in his retreat from Moscow was hardly as bad or dangerous It is feared that the deeimated battalioas have again been thrown into confusion by Oyama's relentless merciless pur- suit. The war office greatly fears that more siege and field guns have been sacrificed in the hurried flight from Tie Pass. The question of ammunition and food is also vital, large supplies having been burned at Tie Pass.
 But even in the face of the possibii- ity of the complete loss of the army and the admitted fact that VIadivostok is already possibly lost the emperor shows no sign of yielding The dic-

Prince HIkoT. who will leave St. Petersburg soon to prepare the Siber- ian railroad for forwarding the new levies which have been determined on said there had been no breakdown as yet and that he hoped as soon as na- Vigauon opened it would be possible to transport one fourth of the outgoing soldiers by rivers and relieve the rail- road to that extent
 Although General Kuropatliin' s downfall was inevitable from Q mili- tary standpoint, it arousos sympathy in circles familiar with the long cam paign that has been waged against him by the general staff. General Sak- haron was his open enemy and Gen eral Dra|oniroT his most severe crf- ttc. and many of his own subordinates were jealous Many epigrams about General &urOpatkin's shortcomings are attributed to General Dragomirof and the supersession of the former at such critical moment is directly attribut- ed to Dragomiron's advice, Emperor Nicholas now giving ear to the vet eran strategist in military affairs.
 General Linevitch is distinctively a line officer with a long record as a fighter Re is almost as cordially dis liked by the general staff as is his pre- decessOr, and thore is also bad blood between Kuropatkin and Linevitch dat days when Kuropatl1in was command

POLICE CAPTAIN ON TEAL.
Accused Of Clubbing a Man When He Raidr d
BCNnE Dout.


The trial Of Police Captain Thomas F.
Darcy Of Long Island City on charges Of
assaulting citizens was held by Deputy
Police Commissioner Farrell In Brooklyn
Yesterday. The assault is alleged to have
taken place in Frank Casewend's hall,
Queens borough, on Nov. IL last, during a
boxing bout Casewend testified that the
captain and his reserves came TO the hall
in a patrol wagon and the captain struck
him with a billy, saying, Now, you tin
horn sport, I've got you" Casewend's
testimony was corrobOrated by several
other witnesses. Casewend has also
brought a civil suit against the captain and
il was asserted that the captain had offered
10 settle the suit by paying Casewend $500.
Cant Darcy said he had been warned
by Inspector Kane 90 look out for the box
ing bout. He and his men went 10 the
house, but he denied clubbing any one. A
number Of his policemen said there was no
clubbing and that the captain never car
ried a billy.
Deputy Commissioner Farrell said he
would have dismissed the case At once, but
for the fact that the captain had made the
Offer of money to settle the suit. He thought
il strange that an offer Of money should
