8'1' PE'rEH8BtJRG-Tho army or-
cnn publll1he8 a long list of now CIIU'
mnnders In the far east , Including ( ) \ the
nppolntmentH of Generals Llnovltch
and nulbar8 to the First and Third
armies , respectively.
Generals Kutncvltch and 8ellvnl1or
will command the 'J'wenty.socond and
'rhltry.sovcnth divisions of the First
corps , which chief , General Meyon-
dorff , Is resigning on account of III
henlth. General SlouchovsltY , com-
mnndcr of the 'ronth corps , has also
resigned , cold It Is expected that ho
will hc succeeded hy General , T7.erpll-
IIy. The swooping character of these
changes may Imply that there Is no
Intention 011 General Kouropatldn's
part to assume the offensive during
the 'ear'8 campaign unless an exceedingly -
Ingl favorable opportunity offers. Indeed -
deed It begins to loolt 111(0 a deadlock
between Mululen for the winter unless
Port Arthur falls or the Japanese
abandon the idea of renewing the as-
soult upon the fortress there and settle -
tie down to a regular siege , either of
which would relen o enough tr1011'J ' to
give the preponderance necessary to
try to force the Russians out of Mud
len. In fact , the latest dlspatch03
from the front indicate that some
i such move Is preparing , though the
best opinion nt the war office holds
to the vIew that there Is not likely
to bo another big battle this year , one
of the Indications pointed out being
the departure or many military attaches -
taches for the wlntor.
General Orloff , whom General Kour-
olantldn blamed for the Russian reverse -
verse at Lluo Yang declares , In the
course or nn interview published III
the Novoo Vremya that ho obeyed
General Stacliolherg's orders In making -
Ing the much crltlclsed attack , In
which his divisIon was decimated and
ho himself wounded. General Kouro-
rn : kin apparently Is convinced ( that
Orloff was not to blame allll the order
detaching hIm has been revoked and
ho has been appointed on General
l\ouropatldn's : staff.

Stough or h "remont county and Sheriff
Fenton and posse of Big Horn county
arrIved here shortly : after sundown
Friday , having found the trait of the
Cody hank robbers and followed It
Into the very heart of the bad lands.
They are now not more than ten
miles behind the outlaws. Reliable
information has been receIved here
that the bandits have taken refuge
at the ranch house ] of a sympathizer
near the notorious "Hole.ln.the'Vall"
redezvous , southwest of this place ,
and do not ] crow that the officers have
followed this far.
Sheriff Fenton , who Is directing the
movement against the desperadoes ,
has asked for reinforcements from
Casper , 'V'o. , 100 mites southeast of
here , and a telephone message was
received late Friday night ; stating
that Sheriff Webb and a large posse
had started for the scene. Fenton
and his men will do a little scouting
quietly to see that the outlaws do not
leave their hIdIng place before Webb
and his party arrives. Should the
outlaws become alarmed and attempt
to leave the country , Sheriff Webb
will bo advised at Walton , Lost CabIn
lOr one of the smaller stations on
the telephone line , and an effort will
ho made to intercept the bandits at
tno eastern exit of the Hole.ln.the-
Wal1. Should the robbers attempt to
double back on their trail and es-
cape by the only other exit from the
hole , the route they followed in entering -
tering the rendezvous , they will bo
attacked by Fenton and his part
near this lnce. )
A bloody battle Is certain to occur
during the next thlrty.slx hours , either -
er at the western or eastern exit of
time Hole , or In the vicinity of the
recent hidIng place or the outlaws.
Should the bandits remaIn In Ignor-
anco of the plan to bottle them up
In the rendezvous , then the fight will
occur at the ranch home or their
friend , for two posses from the east
and west will combine forces ns soon
as Webb arrives and close In on the
bandits at once.
The officers here are completely
worn out , hut they are anxious for
the l1ght. They will get almost twen-
ty.four hours' rest , however , If present
plans carry and will be In prime con-
dition for the battle when Webb arrives -

bel' 28 the Japanese , who on October I
26 had daringly entrenched themselves ,

forced their way further and draft
the Russians from their last trend

slam retreated from theIr trenches t. ,
the other sIde of the mountaIn.
It Is alleged that the JapanCNi
might have entered the fortifications "

but that they refrained from doing IJO' . t j
ns It would obviously be ImpossIble t f
for them to hold the position In the t l \ l
face of the fire which would bo sure '
to be directed against them from oUter -
er forts.
It seems to bo the intention of the
Japanese to enter several co-operative
I.
forts simultaneously or not at alL
The Japanese have found It Impossible
to remain In any solitary fortifica.-
tion while the other big forts went
able to concentrate a fire upon them.
The Japanese have also advanced
somewhat closer to Itz mountain , havIng -
