Grippenberg, who arrived from Man.
churia last night, confirms the re-
ported rumor that he relinquished
command after the recent attempt
of the Russians to flank Oyama, be-
cause of Kuropatkin's refusal to send
him help when victory was in sight,
and instead ordered him to withdraw.
Grippenberg will make a personal re-
port to the cZar.
Kuropatkins enemies are making
the most of Grippenberg's report, in
order to force the formers removal
from the Manchurian command.
Grippenberg says his thanking move
ment would9have been entirely sue
cessful, had not Kuropatkin twice re-
fused him reinforcements at critical
moments. He had 100000 japanese
at his mercy, but was forced to with
draw by Kuropatkin, who was over
awed by the Japanese demonstration
