Mennon- kampfl'; “he is not, awful, but is a slave to system, lacking the neces- sary dash and willingness to take chances that. would make him a most formidable foe." v..- u... u m; General Ronnenkampfl paid the highest tribute to the engineering skill of the Japanese. Their fortifiâ€" cations, he said, are marvels of com- pleteness, well constructed, located and masked. They freely use field telephones, comlecting their battmr- les, and have excellent maps, many of which have been captured on which ranges are marked. The General declared that the Jap- anese are overâ€"slow and cautious. This criticism may be somewhat dis- counted, however, by the fact that General Rennenkampfl .himsdf is one of the boldest and most dashing commanders in the Russian army. n,‘_-_ I ‘\ A despatch from Liao-Yang says:â€" In the course of an interesting in- terview General Rennenkampfl, who was recently wounded, and is now in a. hospital, coolly criticized the JD.- panese shooting us not up to the mark, and said the Japanese relied upon the quantity, rather than the quality of their fire.
