Petersburg, un der date of Friday said that the Jap anese -hanging on the heels and flanks of the remnants of the defeated Rus sian army, Gen. Kuropatkin, the old idol of thep rivate soldier, had been dismissed and disgraced and Gen. Linevitch, commander of the first army, was appointed to succeed him in command of all the Russian land and sea forces operating against Ja pan. The word "disgrace" is written in large letters in the laconic imperial order gazetted, which contains not a single word of praise and also dispos es of the rumor that Kuropatkin had asked to be relieved. The Russian military annals contain no more bit ter imperial rebuke. It transpires that Emperor Nicho las upon the advice of Gen. Drago miroff and War Minister Sakharoff determined that the step was neces sary when it became apparent that Kuropatkin. while concentrating for a stand at Tie pass. seemed unaware that the Japanese had worked around westward again and practically al lowed -himself to be surprised.

Under the circumstances, therefore, it was con sidered imperative in view of the exceedingly perilous position of the army to turn over its command to Linevitch, who alone had been able to bring off his army in order after the battle of Mukden. His record during the Chinese war -had also dem onstrated his capacity as a comman der. Kuropatkin will return to St. Petersburg for:hwith. Mr. Cleveland's Birthday.
