Russian. slust Retire Or Advance.

ST. Petersburg (By Cable) Interest
in the ill-starred attempt to capture San
depas is eclipsed by the withdrawal of
General Gripenberg and unconhrmed re-
ports regarding the retirement of General
Kuropatkin.
According TO the latest information re-
ceived by the War Office, operations on
the right flank of the Russian Army
are at standstill. The extreme right
of the Russians continues to hold Chi
antsanhenan, on the Hun River, six
miles northwest of Sandepas. Apparent
ly both sides are unable to move, owing
to the terrible weather. There are rs
degrees of frost. accompanied by wind );
but, in view of the sudden fluctuations in
temperature at this time of the year, the
frost may suddenly decrease, and the
Russians would then be confronted with
the alternative of Withdrawing in order
to avoid being intercepted by Japanese
column from Shilikhe, or of undertaking
general advance. The latter view finds
some confirmation in a dispatch TO the
Associated Press from Tsinkhetchen, re-
porting a reconnaissance by General Rem
ilenkampff's force on the Russian left,
which perhaps is preliminary to an ad-
vance The military authorities here are
encouraged by the report as showing
that the Russians are able TO repeat the
plan of reaching the enemy's line of
communication.
