st. Petersburg, Feb. 49, The arrival
in st. Petersburg Of General Gripen-
berg. former commander of he second
Manehurian army, who reached here at
midnight, has caused sensation in
military circles. The general frankly
avows that he relinquished his command
after the recent attempt Of the Rus
slams to flank field Marshal oyama, be-
cause, as he claims, General Kuropat-
kin refused to send him help when vic
tory was in General Gripcnbcrgs hand
instead of ordering the latter TO With
draw. Gripenberg will personally re-
port the situation to Emperor Nicholas.
It is too early to say what the result
will be, although it is evident that Ku-
ropatkin's enemies are pushing their
campaign against him. 1t is only faiI
to kuopatkin TO say that his friends
claim that Kuropatkin's side of the
story Is that he only intended to make
demonstration in force and that Grip
enberg pressed the attack too far and
became too much involved
