bilization is not known.
No change in the command of the
army in the far east has yet been
gazetted. One high military official
told the Associated Press yesterday that
to remove General Kuropatkin at this
moment would be much like trading
horses in the middle of the stream"
and that it would be better to give
Kuropatkin a chance to get what is
left of his army out of the claws of
the Japanese before committing it to
a new commander who necessarily
would need little time to get grasp
upon the situation.

kado'S Armies.
st Petersburg, March 17.-With the
evacuation of Tie pass "Wednesday
night the Russian army abandoned the
last stronghold in southern Manchuria
and definitely turned over the sec
tion to the Japanese for the campaign
of 1905. At least no other strategy is
possible for General Kuropatkln, IN
view of his scanty supplies OF ammu-
milton and stores, the shattered cond1-
ton of his army and the wide deVel-
opine movements which the Japanese
have continued almost without stop
since the Russian defeat at Mukden.
Nothing has been heard of the part
which General KaWamura's army is
taking in these operations, but Gen
erals Nogi and Oku, operating in the
low hills of the Tie pass gorge, We're
themselves sufficient to turn the shat
tered Russian army out of the fortifi-
cations which had been prepared with
view to being held by the army af-
ter it should have been Withdrawn
from Mukden.
The japanese evidently are doing
their utmost to accomplish the envel-
opment of the Russian army, which all
but succeeded at Mullden, but General
Kuropatkin, with the railway for a
line of retreat, probably will be able
to keep ahead of his pursuers. A con-
stant succession of delaying rear
guard encounters may be expected.
Military men here have but the haz-
lest ideas as to where the next stand
will be made. Apparently there are
no more fortified positions in readiness
and the retirement probably will not
stop short of Kirin or Kuanchentzy
on the railway line, and if the Japan
ese press the pursuit the Russians
may retire beyond and up the Sungari
river. there to await new levies the
mobilization of which will begin imme-
diately in Russia.
The evacuation of Tie pass involves
the loss of the coal mines in that VII
cinity, which. with the Fushun and
Yentai mines gone, is severe blow
The railway shops at Tie pass and
more supplies were sacrificed.

GERMAN STEAMSHIP CONCERN
BUYS ISLAND IN DANISH
WEST INDIES.
PREPARING FOR WARP.
That is Question That Is Being Asked
in Washington, the Appearance Be.
ing That Germany is Back Of Pur.
chase, Getting Island for coains
Station.

Washington, D G, Oct - Consider
able concern has been caused the ad-
ministration as result of the action
Of the Hamburg-American Steamship
company in purchasing Water island
ish West Indies, for use as coaling
station.
Advices to the state department
which have been furnished by Con-
sui Payne who is stationed at ST.
Thomas, intimate that the purchase
was effected through collusion be-
tween the German and Danish govern
ments. The anxiety of the authorities
arises not only from this fact, but from
the further fact that the Hamburg
American company is subyentioned
by the Germany government. Its
steamers are available in time of war
for use as auxiliary cruisers and it's
coaling stations may be utilized by
the German government in order to
carry on hostile operations
Treaty's Defeat Recalled.
The news which Consul Payne sent
is of considerable importance in it's
effect upon the relations of the United
States and Germany and of the United
States and Denmark The German
government knew two years ago that
treaty was negotiated by the United
States and Denmark for the. transfer
OF the Danish group to this country
At the time there were rumors that
Germany had brought about the de
feat of the treaty by campaign con
Quoted at Copenhagen. The. German
government denied this report, and in
quiries which were made by Anne sicar
agents in Germany and Denmark sndi
Gated that the authorities in Bsrlir
spoke truly.
Nevertheless there has been feel
i ing in official circles that German
policy was opposed to American ac
/ QUESTION of the Danish West Indies. Il
was in order to remove all temptation
from foreign powers that seek to &C
quire these islands that the United
States sought with so much eagernes!
to obtain them. When the Panam;
canal is completed st. Thomas, which
has the best harbor in the group
would make an ideal base from which
a hostile fleet could operate and con
troll the canal, and besides the cana
commands Porto Rico and Cuba, ant
these islands are the key to descen
States. The knowledge Of this strate
gical advantage Of the Danish Yves
Indies has lent especial Importance il
the eyes of the officials to Consu
Payne's report.
