cIares General.

St. Petersburg, March S.-A general
who has just returned from the front
Informed the Associated Press to-day
that General Kuropatkin's faults as
commander -in-chief are due to his bu'
reaucratic training, and 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-
cific orders to Individual units, and
kept constantly before him a map
showing the location not only of the
corps, but of the brigades and regi'
ments and undertook to control the
movement of every unit.
1.-THE genius of Napoleon" the gem
eral referred to added, could not &C.

set for himself.

Mukden, Mrach $3.50 a. nl.-The
Japanese last night attacked the Rus

forced the Russians to fall back a lit
tie. The Japanese are concentrating
on the west front. This may be the
last dispatch out of Mukden, as the tel
egraph line lis in danger Of being de-
stroyed. The battle is in full progress.
The Russian army is evacuating its
positions south Of Mukden. ],

ing the walls of houses here to tremble.
An engagement is in progress at the
imperial tombs. i.
ii a. mMukden is still in the hands
OF the Russians, but withdrawal from
the line Of the shakhe river is in full
progress. The Japanese are making a
strong attack north of Mukden, where
they occupy right-angled position,
one side parallel with tn erailroad and
three and one-half miles distant, and
the other facing northward three miles
north of the imperial tombs. The Rus
slams have retired somewhat from the
positions they occupied yesterday in
the region of Tatchekiao, but are MAX
ing, strong stand against the forcs
here. g
The Russians also are holding the
village of Ushuntun, which at nightfall
was partly in the hands of the Russians
and partly in those Of the Japanese. At
2 o'clock this morning the Russians
succeeded in taking complete possession
of the village. which is of great STRAIT
egical importance for the successful ac-
coinplishment of withdrawal.
No attack on the position at Madya-
pu, west of the railroad, has begun at
q this hour The Japanese hold the
heights five miles west of Hushatai,
though Russian cavalry in this region
q yesterday drove in outlying parties. 1t

500 prisoners, who appear to be almost
exhausted.

enormous. The casualties on the Rus
sian left flank on Tuesday exceeded
1000.
The burning of commissariat ware
houses and the destruction of supplies
south of Mukden, which have been in
progress several days, is said by Rus
sian officers to be complete. Every
thing that could not be carried away
was destroyed.
To-day the situation is more tense. A
terrific cannonading is in progress and
the streets of Mukden rumble as with
10000 drums.
ii %. m.-The Russians are retiring
from the line of the Shakhe river and
the left flank to the line Of Notifications

Honolulu, March S.-The police here
are of the opinion that if Mrs Jane

1t is pointed out that the opinion of
the physicians, taken in connection with
the result of the chemical analysis as
given in evidence at the inquest, indi-
Gates that, to bring about a fatal re-
suit, Mrs Stanford would have to have
been given one of the capsules which,
it has been admitted, contained a small
quantity of stryehnine, and dose of
bicarbonate of soda at the same time,
| and that both would be required to
| bring together enough strychnine to be

of bicarbonate of soda and the capsule
combined was only one-twelfth of a
grain, unless the stryehnine was all at
the top of the bottle and was taken

comment on the bitter taste of the med
icine is, however, held as disproving this
theory. The physicians say that one

possibly be fatal to a person Of Mrs.
Stanford's age.

No Reunion This Year.

After thoroughly con idering the
matter the officers of the Southern
Oregon Soldiers and Sailors Reunion
Association have decided to not hold a
reunion this fall, but to postpone it
and hold it in conjunction with the
Oregon state encampment of the G..
A. X. and W. Il. @. that is to be
held in Grants Pass next June.
Departmet Commandenr Z. Z. Hills.
of Ashland, and District Comma nder
S. NJ. Nealon Of Sans Valley, were
in Grants Pass last Saturday to confer
with the g. A. X. officers here rela
tive to postponing of the encampment
that was to have been held here in
September. Thursday a meeting was
held in Medford representing all the
G. A. r. posts in Southern Oregon, at
which Grants Pass was represented by
Capt. Evans, +. A. Wade and Albert
Morrison. At this meeting it was
officially decided to pospone the en-.
campment as above stated The rea-
son for taking this action was that so
many of the old soldiers Of Southen
Oregon had or would.visit the fair and
the trip to Portland would take such
time and money that they felt that
they could not take the additional
time to attend reunion this fall.
The attendance would thus be 70
small that it would preclude the en-.
campment from being the success that
it otherwise would.
1t is expected to have the biggest
encampmeht next June in Grants Pass
that has even been held in Oregon by
the Grand Army.
BY combining the state and local
reunions this will be possible and a
material saving Ct the expenses can
thereby be made.
