PETERSBURG. b = LINEVITCH NAMED ,gru SUCCEED HIM TASK OF NEW COMMANDER-IN: CHIEF OF RUSSIAN FORCES A DESPERATE ONE. &t. Petersburg, March - 18.—With the Japanese hanging on the heels and flanks of the remnants of the broken, defeated Russian army, General Kuro- patkin, the old idol of the private sol- dier, has heen dismissed and disgraced and General Linevitch, commander of the First army, is appointed to suc- ceed him in command of all the Rus- sian land and sea forces operating against Japan. The word disgrace is written in large letters in the laconic imperial order gazetted, which con- taius not a single word of praise, and also disposes of the rumor that Kuro- patkin had asked to be relieved. The Russian military annals contain no more Ditter imperial rebuke. While it was known that the war council had already decidsd to supplant Kuropat- kin after the Mukden disaster the de- cision to confer the task of saving the remainder of the army on Linevitch in the very midst of its flight, although bruited the previous night, came as a surprise. It transpires that Emperor Nicholas, upen the adyice of General Dragomiroff and War Minister Sak- haroff, determined that the step was necessary when it became apparent that Kuropatkin, while concentrating for a stand at Tie pass, seemed un- aware that' the Japanese had worked around westward again and practically Allowed Himself to Be Surprised. Old reports brought by i@eneral Grip- enberg regarding Kuropatkin's failing mentality also had influence. Under the circumstances, therefore, it was considered imperative, in view of the exceedingly perilous: pasition of the army, to turn over its command to Linevitch, who along had been able ta hring off his army jin order after the Lattle of Mukden, Fis'recokd during the Chinese war had also demon- strated his capacity as a commander. Kuropatkin will return to St. Peters- burg forthwith. The task confided to Limevitch of withdrawing what is left of the great army of 350,000 men to Harbin is a desperate one. He is hemmed in on all sides. General Kawamura presum- ably is pressing northward through the mountains eastward ready to swoop down, Generals Nogi and Oku are on the west of the Russian forces, the whole line of the railroad is threat- ened if not already cut and Chinese bandits are even reported to be in the rear of Harbin. A consummation of the Mukden disaster is feared. Na- poleon’s plight in the retreat from Moscow, with Kutusofi’s Cossacks har- rassing the starving, freezing French* men, was hardly as bad or dangerous. Nothing further has arrived from the front, but it is feared that the decimated battalions which had hard- ly recovered from the demoralization of the Mukden retreat have again been thrown intc confusion by Field Mar- shai Oyama’s Relentless, Merciless Pursuit. The war office greatly fears that more of the siege and field guns which Ku- ropatkin managed to save at Mukden have been sacrificed in the hurried fiight from Tie pass. The question of ammunition and food is also vital, as it is known that the Russians were compeiled to burn further stores at Tie pass, where the commissariat was only beginning to feed the half fam- ished troops when the new retreat was ordered. But even in the face of the possibil- ity of the complete loss of the army and the admitted fact that Vladivostok is already possibly lost the emperor still shows no signs of yielding. Prep- arations for continuing the war on a larger scale than ever are proceeding. The dictum has gone forth that an- other army’ of 450,000 men is to be dispatched to the Far Fast and in or- der to avoid delay it has been decided instead of sending only reserve men to form new armies largely of regular units, leaving the reserves to replace the regulars in garrison duty at home. Separate armies are to be organized under Generals Grodekoff, Gripenberg and ‘Kamaroff. The war council, it is also under- stood, has definitely decided that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky shall continue his voyage and give battle to the Japa- nese in the forlorn hope of wresting control of the sea from Admiral Togo. If Rojestvensky is successful it is claimed that an entirely new complex- ion will be placed on the situation. OYAMA ENTERS MUKDEN. Buildings and Streets Gaily Decorated for the Occasion.

Linevitch was also prominent in the relief of the legations at Peking. He is greatly beloved by the soldiers because of his constant solicitude for their welfare. At the battle of Mukden General Linevitch was reported March 5 as stubbornly liolding his position and as having repulsed thirteen consecutive attacks of the Japanese, but in spite of this he is said to have escaped with slight losses and March 13 he entered the Russian lines south of Tie pass with his regiments in perfect order. The following day the Russian troops, apparently those commanded by Gen: eral Linevitch, repulsed a Japanese at- tack at the Fan river, the Japanese leaving 1,000 men killed before the Russian position.
