JAPANESE APPEAR IN
FRONT OF RUSSIANS

ing Fresh Troops.
JAPANESE MEAN TO PUSH FIQHT
There Seem* To Be no Change In the
War Situation Other Than that the
Japanese Are Only Waiting for Rus
alans To Stop for a Battle. %
St. Petersburg, March 23.—A dis
patch from General Llnevitch dated
March 21, says:
Yesterday Japanese cavalry detach
menta appeared in front of our ad
vance posts. Behind the cavalry were
Infantry who halted at the village oi
Maohantzy.
St Petersburg, March 22.-1:55 p.m.
The retreat of the Russian army, from
the latest reports, evidently is being
conducted in a splendid fashion. In
four days' actual marching after leav
log Tie Pass the rear guard has called
back 70 miles and the heads of the
columns are already entering Gun-
ehu Pass, 40 miles further north, keep
lng up with the Japanese column,
marching north over the Grand Trade
route. With the bridges and railroad
destroyed behind the Russians, the
Japanese are unable to press the rear
and according to Information received
from the front it Is believed that the
bulk of Field Marshal Oyama’s army
is still at Tie Pass, the flanking col
umn being comparatively weak. This
news may, however, prove incorrect
For two days there has been some
Eklrmishlng accompanied t>y artillery
exchanges between the Japanese on
the Grand Trade route and the Rus
sians screening the retreat, showing
that they are in constant contact.
Many military men here believe
that General Llnevitch while prepared
to withdraw to Harbin, will attempt
to hold the line from Kiuchantln to
Kirin to control the rich Sungari val
ley as a source of supply for the
army. A Japanese‘advance to Kirin
would be equivalent to the isolation ol
Vladivostok. —
The war office points out^the fact
that General Llnevitch was able to
give his troops' a day of rest as being
the best evidence that complete ordei
has been restored, and that the stor
ies of demoralized flight are untrue.
The Russian press commends Gener
al Kuropatkln highly for the fine splr-
It which he displayed In returning to
the army in a subordinate capacity,
declaring that the defeated leader it
more to be pitied than blamed.
The advocate of the continuance ol
the war are encouraged by the some
what better outlook In the Far East.

Oyama at Tie Pass.
Gunshu Pass, Manohuria, 108 MUer
North of Tie Pass, Monday, March 20.
—The Russian rear guard is now at
Sipinghai, 70 miles north of Tie Pass
The Japanese are slowly pursuing, but
are not energetically pressing the
jear. Apparently Field Marshal Oy
ama Is holding his main army at Tie
Pass.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press after the renewal of tho Russian
headquarters from Tie Pass remained
with tho rear guard some davs with
out telegraphic facilities. Kxtensive
preparations to carry out the plan ol
retreat were made by Generals Kuro-
patkln, Llnevitch, Bilderllng and Kaul
bars, and were successfully carried
out. On March 19 Kuropatkln, con
sidering that tho army was safe, de
parted for Harbin, but having sub
sequently decided to remain as com
rr.ander of the first army, reached her*
today, receiving a great ovation at the
railroad, station and acknowledging
the cheering by a short speech in
which ho expressed the hope that the
army would soon be able to relieve its
reverses.
It is too early to determine the ef
fect of the change In the supreme
command, but private soldiers have
great confidence in the venerable
Llnevitch, whose task Is monumental
The reorganization effected tat Tie
Past after the retreat from Mukden
Incontestibly marked tho end of the
second stage of the war.
Gunshu Pass, which has a large
railroad station and Red Cross settle
ments with til army facilities, is now
an enormous camp overflowing the n*
live hamlet to all directions. Troopi
are arriving dally. The advanced d!
visions are continuing their march
northward, while some fresh troops

from European Russia are cominr

ders by James Hargis, according to a
sensational story told today by Whitt
in the hearing on the motion for bai
for the Hargises and Callahan.
Anderson WhJto is the brother oi
Tom White, who is under life sentence
for the murder of J. B. Marcum.
White said that prior to the killing
of Cockrill James Hargis look him tc
the Hargis’ store and gave him a 45
caliber pistol and told him he wanted

to shoot five men, White being or
dered to shoot in the event that any
trouble started. The men he was tc

Mark Cockrill, Attorney Vaughan and
another, the witness recalled to be
Marcum.
“Kill all of these five or any damned
one of them,” is what White said Har
gis told him to do. He said he de
clined to do this, and returned the pis
tol. Hargis told him them that he
would be neeed probably as a wit
ness, and told him to return when
sent for.
Jeff Smith followed White. Ho said
that before the killing of Cockrill,
Judge Hargis in the latters office, de-
dared to him “Jim Cockrill has got
to be killed, for if he is not, Gockril!
will kill Callahan or me, or both of
us.”
Witness said he declined to partlc
ipate in a plot, and Hargis then said
he would have to get George Smith
or Curtis Jett, to do it On the day
after Cockrill was killed, he wsr at
Hargis’ store. Callahan and Judge
Hargis were there, and when the new
came from Lexington that Cockrill had
died In a hospital they both smiled a!
each other. He said Hargis asked
him only recently what he would test
fy to In this case, but that he would
not tell him.
