PANAMA CANAL CHANGES
President Thinks Commission Un-
wieldy and Wants Results


Ry Associated Press.
WASHINGTON March S.-Radical
changes are to be made in the person.
mel of the Panama Canal commission.
President Roosevelt has let members
OF congress know that he is not at all
satisfied with the work of the COM
mission as It is at present constituted.
He had hoped congress, at the session
which closed Saturday would enact
legislation under which he could re-
construct the commission and place
the work on a more practical basis
than now exists. His desire, it is un-
derstood, is to reduce the commission
to three members. all of whom shall be
practical engineers of emlnence. Under
the Spooner act one Of these engineers
must be from the navy and one from
the army
AS constituted now the commission
is said to be unwieldy. 1t is regarded
as containing too many elements which
have to be adjusted, one to another, be-
fore anything definite can be done. To
remedy this defect the president, it is
believed, will reduce the membership
OF the body and place in immediate
supervision of the canal workmen who
will work in consonance with the ideas
of himself and Secretary Taft.
The president is deeply interested in
the construction of the canal and pro-
poses to do everything possible to
facilitate the work. BY adopting such
a plan as is here outlined he hopes to
get together a harmonious working
force-a force that will achieve re-
suits.

CHINESE BANDITS BUSY
Capture and Behead Russian Scouts
and Alleged Spies
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW CHWANG, March 8, via Tien-
tsin.-With Japanese flags flying, a
band of Chinese bandits today be-
headed two young Russians, who were
alleged to be spies, at Sinmintin. The
first one executed was evidently an
officer, but he was wearing a Chinese
overcoat. He kneeled without a muir
mur while his companion watched the
death stroke. The second captive was
clothed in Chinese clothing throughout
He whimpered for moment, but re-
gained his nerve and struggled fiercely.
He was thrown and killed while long
trumpets fanfared. The chief of the
bandits was mild-mannered old man
wearing a Japanese sword. He watched
the execution unmoved. "They are
Spies" he said, land we should kill
them. Besides, it is difficult to trans
port them"
Last Monday night the bandits sur
prised a small body of Russian scouts
and killed twenty-five, besides captur-
ing the two that were beheaded. To-
day the whole band, consisting of 200
cavalry and 100 infantry, formed a
great circle on the outskirts of Sinmin-
tin. The bronzed and stern featured
Chinese dismounted and held their
gayly trapped and shaggy ponies. The
men were armed to the teeth with long
rifles and Mauser pistols. The infantry
were mostly turbaned, but many wore
Russian caps.
The Russian captives were brought
to the center of the circle with a flour
ish of trumpets. They were stripped
and their arms were bound together
behind their bodies. They were turned
over to a six-foot-high executioner,,
who smilingly drew his red-sheathed
sword and wiped the blade on the
clothing of the corpses.
When the executions were finished
the corpses were left lying on the sun
lit road. Bugles were sounded and the
bandit cavalry swung into their sad
dies, while the infantry fell into line
and departed from the scene of exc
cution.

His Bureaucratic Training Makes Him

ST. PETERSBURG, March S,-A
general who has just returned from

that Gen. Kuropatkin's faults as COM
mander in chief are due to his bureau
cratic training and to his desire
to keep all the reins in his own hands.
Instead Of relying on the judgment of
the army commanders to carry out his
general orders, he made of them simply
orderlies for the transmission of spe-

kept constantly before him map

THE TURNING MOVEMENT
Generalization Sets In Among the

WITH THE JAPANESE LEFT
ARMY, March delayed in transmits
slon) delayed reports from the Jap
anese left show that as far back as the
4th inst. Gems. Oku and Nogi had exc
cuted their turning movement and were
marching parallel to the railroad and
within four miles westward Of it.
The Russians made strong fight at
the start, but later their resistance
was slight, the troops retreating in a
disorderly manner before the onward
rush of the Japanese, who advanced
over twenty miles in four days.
1t is evident that the Russian soldiers
had become disheartened by the fall
of Port Arthur and 1t was believed at
headquarters that they were or have
been In almost open revolt. Many
strong positions were given up by
them without a show of resistance.
Threw Away Their Clothing
The battlefield showed evidence of
hasty retreat. 1t was covered with
bits of clothing and heavy felt boots,
thousands of the latter having been
thrown away, probably because they
impeded the hasty flight of the Rus
slams. Many rifles and thousands of
rifle cartridges were thrown away, AMI
it was clear that all plans for retreat
were upset by the rapid rushes of the
Japanese.
The entire Russian right seemed to
be altogether disorganized and reports
showed that the troops were in an
almost panic-stricken condition. One
Russian army corps opposed to the
extreme left of the Japanese armies
retired rapidly, making practically no
effort to stop the movement of the
Japanese.
The advance of the Japanese was
the most rapid they ever made. Recog-
nizing the fact that the Russians had
become demoralized, the Japanese de-
termined not to allow them time 20
rally. They captured no guns, but took
a large number of rifles and much am
muntion.

TERRIFIC LOSS OF LIFE
Slaughter Far In Excess of One Hum
dred Thousand
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
TOXIC, March o. a. m.-The great
battle in Manchuria ragged all day
Yesterday along the entire and enor-
nous front. The Japanese were gen.
orally victorious and they drove the
Russians from n series of important
positions By nightfall 1t seemed inn
perative that General Kuropatkin
would have to withdraw his shattered
legions to avoid complete disaster In
deed it appeared impossible for him
to effect a retreat without heavy
losses of prisoners, guns and stores.
The continuous battle is already the
bloodiest of the war. Upon the ground
that General Oku alone gained lie 5000
Russian dead. The reports from the
other armies are expected to triple
this figure. 1t is estimated that the
Japanese have lost $4,000. making the
Joint slaughter far in excess of one
hundred thousand men.
Japs Said to Have Railway
Details of the combat are lacking,
but it is believed that the Japanese
have cut the railway north of Mukden,
leaving only the roadways and light
railway from Fushun to Tie pass as
avenues for the retreat of the Rus
slams, but army headquarters refrains
from affirming or denying report to
that effect.
The details of operations against Fu-
shun are not yet at hand, but it is
understood that, following the capture
of Machuntan, the Japanese renewed
the assault on Theta and dislodged the
Russians.
