LiNENTCH IS OLD
FOE OF KUROPATklN

ST. PETERSBURG, March 1S.-De-
cided anxiety is felt here regarding
the fate OF the army in Manchuria un-
der its new commander, no news Of
military developments the last two
days having been received. The only
dispatches from the front are the brief
announcements yesterday that Gen.
Linevitch had assumed command and
that Gen. Kuropatkin was departing
for st. Petersburg and the Changtufu
dispatch fled the morning of March
10 and written at the station of Kali
yuan, which was then held by the Rus
slams. In this correspondents opinion
no pause in the Japanese advance is
probable for some time. The Russians
are losing heavily in the rear guard
actions and Japanese columns are re-
ported pushing northward as fast as
possible to complete the development
of the Russian forces. Gen. Linevitch,
however, viii have a considerable ac-
cesSion OF fresh troops in a day or two,
the fourth European corps being now
at Hardin and departing southwark
Military officials here declare that
there are now 26S.000 men at Gen.
Linevitch's disposal in Manchuria and
1T is believed that this force will be
sufficient to cause the Japanese to ex-
ercise greater caution in their pursuit
Although Gen. Kuropatkin's downfall
was inevitable from the military stand
point, nevertheless it arouses sympa-
thy in circles familiar with the long
campaign that has been waged against
him by the general staff. Gen. SAX
haroff was his open enemy and Gen.
Dragomiroff his severest critic; and
many of his own subordinates were
jealous and grudgingly obedient. Many
epigrams about Gen. Kuropatkin's
shortcomings are being attributed to
Gen. Dragon1iroff, and the suppression
of the former at so critical a moment
is directly attributed to Dragomiroffs
advice, Emperor Nicholas now giving
ear to the veteran strategist in military
matters.
Gen. Linevitch is distinctly line Of
fcer, with a long record as a fighter.
He is almost as cordially disiiked by
the general staff as is his predecessor,
and there also is bad blood between
Kuropatkin and Linevitch dating from
a personal quarrel when Kuropatkin
was commander of the Transbaikal
army, which led Linevitch to demand
satisfaction. Kuropatkin assumed the
position that he could not fight an off,
Ger of inferior rank. The succession of
this officer will naturally increase Gen.
Kuropatkins discontinue.
