GENERAL GRODEKOFF.

in the very midst Of it's flight, although
bruted Thursday night, came as a
surprise. 1t transpires that Emperor
Nicholas, upon the advice of General
Dragomiroff and War Minister Saka-
haroff determined that this step was
necessary when it became apparent
Thursday morning that kuropatkin
while concentrating for a stand at Tie
Pass, seemed unaware that the Japan
ese had worked around to the west
ward again and practically allowed
himself to be surprised. The reports
brought by General Grippenberg re-
garding Kuropatkin's failing mentality
also had influence. Under the circum-
stances, therefore, 1t was considered
imperative. in view Of the exceeding
perilous position Of the army. to turn
over it's command to Linevitch, who
alone has been able to bring off his
army in order after the battle of Muk-
den. His record during the Chinese
war had also demonstrated his capac-
ity as commander. Kuropatkin will
return to st. Petersburg forthwith.
The task confided to Linevitch Of
withdrawing what is left of the great
army Of 100000 men to Hardin is
desperate one. He is hemmed in on all
sides. General Kamamura presumably
Is pressing nOrthward through the
mountains eastward ready to swoop.
Generals Nogi and Oku are on the west
OF the Russian forces, the whole line
OF railroad is threatened, if not already
cut, and Chinese bandits are even re-
ported to be in the rear of Hardin.
The contamination of the Mukden dis
aster is feared. Napoleon's plight in
his retreat from Moscow with Kuto-
soff's Cossacks harrassing the starving
freezing Frenchmen was hardly as bad
O: dangerous.
Nothing further has arrived from
the front, but it is feared the decimated
battalions, which had hardly recovered
from the Generalization of the Mukden
retreat, have again been thrown into
confusion by Field Marshal Oyama's
relentless and merciless pursuit. The
war office greatly fears more of the
siege and field gunds which Kuropat-
kin managed to save at Mukden have
been sacrificed in the hurried fight
from Tie Pass. The question of am
munition and food is also vital, as It
is known the Russians were compelled
to burn further stores at Tie Pass,
where the commissariat was only be-
ginning to feed the half-famished
troops when the new retreat was Or
dered. But even in the face Of the
possibility Of the complete loss Of the
army and the admitted fact that Vlad-
ivostok is possibly lost the emperor
still shows no signs Of yielding.
The war council, it is SO understood,
says Vice Admiral Rojestvensky shall
continue his voyage and give battle
to the Japanese in the forlorn hope Of
taking the control Of the sea from Ed-
miral Togo.

DISGRACE DISMISSAL.
War Council Takes Summary Action
Against kuropatkin.
RECALLED TO RUSSIA
General Lineyitch, Who Relieves Him
as Commander of Both Land
Sea Forces, Has a Great
Task on Hand.

St. Petersburg, March 19.-~With the
Japanese hanging on the heels and
TANKS Of the remnants OF the broken.
defeated Russian army, General kuro-
patkin. the old idol Of the private SOL
der. has been dismissed and disgraced.
and General Linevitch. commander 0:
the First army. appointed to succeed
him In the command of all the Russian
land and sea forces in operations
against the Japanese. The word dis :
grace is written in large letters in the
laconic imperial orders gaZetted. which
contains not a single word Of praise,
and also disposes of the rumor that
Kuropatkin had asked to be relieved
Russian military annals contain no
more bitter imperial rebuke. While it
was known that the war council had
already decided to suppiant kuropat
kin after the Muk1 n disaster the de-
cision to confer the task of saving the
remainder Of the army on Linevitch.

several reasons why death must have
resulted from strychhine poisoning.
