OPPOSED By GENERAL STAFF.
Desk Heroes Fought kuropat<in and
Dislike LineVitch Also.

st. Petersburg, March Is. $50 Il. M
Decided anxiety is felt regarding the
tate Of the army in Manchuria under
its new commander. no news of mill
tary developments during the last
three days having been received. The
only dispatches from the front are
the brief announcements yesterday
that General LineVitch had assumed
command and that Kuropatkin was
departing for st. Petersburg dispOS-
ing OF a rumor that Kuropatkin had
committed suicide, and the Associ-
ated Press Changfu dispatch. filed the
morning Of March 16. and written at
the station of kaiyuan, which was then
held by the Russians. In this CORES
pOndentS opinion no pause in the Jap
anese advance is probable for some
time. The Russians are losing heaV-
lily in the rear guard actions. and Jap
anese columns are reported to be push
ing northward as fast as possible to
complete the enveloping movement of
the Russians.
General LinevitCh will have a con-
siderable accession of fresh troops in
day or two, the Fourth European
corps being now at Hardin and de
parting southwark.
Military officers declare that there
are now 26S, 600 men at General Line
Vitch's disposal in ManchUria. and it
is believed that this force will he suf
hcient to cause the Japanese to eXer-
else greater caution i'm their pursuit.
Prince Hikoff, who will leave St.
Petersburg soon to prepare the ST.
berian railway for forwarding the new
levieS which have been determined on,
said that there had been no break
down as yet. and that he hoped as
soon as navigation opened it would be
possible to transport One-fOuTth of the
outgoing soldiers by the rivers and
relieve the railroad TO that extent
Although General EUROPA tkin s
downfall was inevitable from military
standpoint, it arOuses sympathy in cir
cles familiar with the long campaign
that has been waged against him by
the general staff. General Sakharoff
was his open enemy and General
Dragomiroff his most severe critic, and
many of his own suboTdinates were
jealous Many epigrams about Cen
eraI Kuropatkin's shortcomings are at
tributed to General DragOmiroff. and
the supersession of the former at such
a critical moment is directly attributed
to General DragomiToff' advice, EN-
perOr Nicholas not giving ear to the
veteran strategist in military affairs.
General Linevitch is distinctively a
line officer with a long record as
fighter. He is almost as cordially dis
liked by the general staff as is his
predecessor. and there is also bad blood
between Kuropatkin and Linevitch dat
ing from a personal quarrel in the
days when KurOpatkin was cOmman-
der of the Trans Baikal army, which
led LineVitch to demand satisfaction.
KurOpatkin assumed the position that
he could not fight an officer of inferior
rank. The succession of this officer

patlxin's discontinue.

STUBBORNLY FIGHTING.
Rear Guard Action Continues as
Russians Fall Back.

Chang Tufu. March IL. a. m. ODE
laYed in transmission 1.-The rear
guard action is continuing almost I'M
interruptedly. Soldiers wounded in the
last fight. to the number of LOO, were
dispatched north from Tie pass on
March Is.
On the morning of March 10 the Jap
anese made the principal attack on the
Russian left, and in the evening at
tackled the right also. 1t is reported
that several columns of japanese in
fantry, with cavalry are moving north
a considerable distance west of the
railway. with the intention of cutting
the Russians from their base. 1t seems
evident that the advance movement Of
the japanese has continued for a long
time. and perhaps uninterruptedly. The
Russians, though fatigued with three
weeks of constant fighting, are offer
ing a Stubborn resistance in their with
drawal. although not attempting to hold
a position which lis naturally open to
a turning movement
The wagon trains are gradually as

vate supplies of food.

UP TO GENERAL STAFF.
Scene of HostiIities Unmapped, Al
though Time Was Ample.

St. Petersburg. March Il. HIP p. M
NJ. KirilOff, a war correspondent, con-
tinuing his disclOseTus of Russian army
conditions. attributes to the failure of
the general staff to map properly the
region between Lao Yang and Mukden
the Russian loss of $4,000 men south
of Mukden in October, when the troops
were ordered TO make a turning move
ment against a naturally impreSna BILE
position.
Kiriloff asserts that the Grippenberg
episode and other events indicates that
the fault had not been remedied when
the battle of Mukden began. and there
were encountered obstacles that were
not expected because the country was
not known, unknown because unmap-
ped, and mapless because nobody both
cred himself. though there had been
ample time and opportunity"
KiTilOff cites the case OF a Chinese
calling on missionary. in Mukden and
casually mentioning that the Russians
we're preparing to burn the stores at
Yinkow. and who. when questioned.

this would cause Miscellaneous fail

Kiriloff concludes that the chief cause
