C UROPAYftIN BIN LE B DISMISSED By 1EHF CUR Idol of the Individual Soldier in the Russian Army is Held Up Contemptuously by the Empe ror and Summarily Withdrawn From His High Position. In the Face of Odds Which Threaten to Crush Remnant of Her Army, Russia is Press ing Arrangements to Continue the War, By Associated Tress. St. Petersburg, 10.15 p. m., March 16 With the pananese hanging on the heels and flanks of the remnants of the broken, defeated Russian army .Gen eral Kuropatkin, the idol of the pri vate soldier, has been dismissed and disgraced and General Linevitch, the Commander of the first army, has been appointed to succeed him in command of all the Russian land and sea forces, operating against Japan. The word disgrace was written in large letters in Laconic in the, im perial order gazetted, which contained not a single word of praise and also disposes of the rumor that Kuropatkin asked to be relieved. Russian mili tary annals contain no more bitter im perial rebuke. Emperor Nicholas,-upon the advice of General Dragomiroff and War Min ister Sakharoff, determined that it was the step necessary when it became ap parent yesterday that Kuropatkin, while concentrating for a stand at Tie Pass, seemed unaware that the Japan ese worked around to the westward again and allowed himself to be sur prised. Old reports brought by Gen eral Gripenberg regarding Kuropat.kin's failing mentally also had influence. Linevitch alone has been able to bring off the army in order after the battle of Mukden. Kuropatkin will return to St. Peters burg forthwith. The task confided to Linevitch for withdrawing the rem nant army of 350,000 men to Harbin is desperate. Hemmed in on all sides, General Kawamura is presumably pressing northward through the moun tains to the eastward ready to sweep down. Generals Nogi and Oku are on the west of the Russian forces, while the railroad is threatened, if not al ready cut, and Chinese bandits are re ported in the rear of Harbin. A con summation of the Mukden disaster is feared. It is feared that the decimated bat talions have again been thrown into confusion by Oyama's, relentless and merciless pursuit. The war office fears more of the siege and the field guns 'hich Kuropatkin saved at Mukden have been sacrificed in the flight from fie Pass. The Russians were compelled to burn lurtner stores at Tie Pass when the commissiary was only beginning to eert half the famished troops when me neA- retreat was ordered. In the face 0f a possibility of a com- tr f)f th'; army and the admit ied fact that Vladivostok is already possibly lost, preparations for continu es the War on a larger scale than rrLare Proceiding.

She then sank into a nat ural sleep. At daybreak yesterday she slipped out of bed and going to a couch, on which her father lay, worn out by his long vigil over her, asked that her might be dressed. All traces of her ill ness had vanished. Yesterday was made a day of thanks for answer to prayer in the child's behalf. COUPLE. DIE TOGETHER. Man and His Wife Found Dead in Their Home.

SAMOAN INDEMNITY CLAIMS. Negotiations For Their Settlement Practically at a Standstill. By Associated Press. Washington, March 17. The nego tiations between the United States, Great Britain and Germany looking to a settlement of the Samoan indem nity claims have practically come to a standstill, owing to a wide difference of opinion as to the extent of damage sustained by the German subjects in the Samoan group as a result of joint operations by the American arid Brit ish naval forces in 1900 to suppress a rebellion. The question of the lia bility of the United States and Great Britain for the damages sustained by German plantation owners was decid ed by King Oscar of Sweden in favor of the claimants in 1902, but the arbitra tor did not attempt to assess individ ual damages, leaving these to be ad justed by negotiation. These negotia tions have dragged along ever since 1902, and now the principals find them selves no nearer an agreement than at. the beginning. The German claims amount to about $65,000, and the British and Ameri can negotiations insist that that sum is excessive, and that $25,000 is a good price for the property destroyed. It is probably it will in the end be necessary to appoint a commission to take tes timony as to the extent of the actual damage, though the smallness of ,the amount involved would seem to make this an unduly expensive undertak ing. Meanwhile, the claimants are be coming restiye and are bringing pres sure to bear upon the German govern ment to obtain settlement. WILL LOOK FORJBIG GAME.' President's Hunting Trip Next Month.

When the president left the stand the diplomat is said to have drawn a knife and to have cut a piece half an inch thick and four inches long out of the table.
