GUARD WAS. WORTHLESS.
Board Condemns Militia Who Failed
to Prevent Lynching.

Montgomery, Ala, Sept 2S.-The
military board appointed to investi-
gate the action of the militia at the
lynching Of the negro, Naples, when
the county Jail at Huntsville was
burned, has reported, saying:
Company F, Third infantry, Ala,
bama national guard, as organized, is
ineffj cient and worthless; we recon,
mend that it be mustered out imme-
diately."
Adiutant General Brandon issued an
order by command of the governor
that the recommendations of the board
be carried out at once.
1t is shown that Captain Hay had
no definite plan of action, that he
failed to support his sentinels on the
outside and that most Of the men had
no loads in their guns, though there
was plenty of ammunition to be had;
that the attack on the jail found the
military sitting around on the steps
and out of military formation and on
the curbstones eating supper.

commenting on recent occurrences at
Tamingfu, province of Pechili, where
a number OF American missionaries
had TO leave owing to the threatening
attitude of the boxers, said:
''It ought to be mentioned that news

swiftly and loses nothing during it's
passage. It's effect many hundreds OF
miles distant from the scene of action
has been Immediately felt. AS we said
in 1900, SO again we repeat with added
emphasis, there is danger Of a general
confagration unless the utmost vigil
ance is exercised. Those interested
in preventing such an outbreak, we
remark as we did then, govern them
selves accordingly"

Details of the Earlier Operations Near
 Liao Yanu.

Tokio. Oct. 12, 4 D. m.-General activ- ity has been resumed in the theater of war It is believed here that a gen eral engagement is progressing be- tween Iiio Yang and Mukden. Field Marshal Oyama has met General Ku- ropatkin's advance with a general ad- vance of the main strength of his forces along a broad front.
 Besides their direct movement the Russians are attempting to stfike the Japanese right at two points widely separated. A considerable force Of Russians which was sent across the Taitse river. thirty-five miles east of Liao Yang. has apparently been Isollt- ed by the Japanese cutting its year
 and the report of it's defeat or capture is expected.
 The following report from the head
 quarters of General KUroki's right
 army was received today: "On the
 morning of Oct. 9 a body of. the enemy crossed the Taitse river from the north
 at Weiningying toward ChiaotaO and
 entrenched between Chiaotao and Ben sihu. Its strength was one brigade of
 infantry, 2,050 cavalry, with two guns. The enemy in the direction of the Taitse river consists of a mixed bri- eade. There is one regiment of iufan- | try at Menohuapo and another aJ Pa
 chiatsu, both of which are advancing south. Their rear seems to be sup ported by forces of some strength" General Nodzu's center army teie- graphs as follows: "On the mOTning g

ST. PETERSBURG BETS ON IT.
THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE.
It Found the Mikado's Armies in
 State of Preparation.

Headquarters of the Russian western army, Mukden. Oct II, via Pekin. Oct. 12-Russian dragons have captured a copy of the message from the em- peror Of Japan to his troops in which the mikadC says he is still awaiting the decisive defeat of the Russians. It is apparent from this intelligence that the Japanese are equally prepared for i'm portant events.
 There have been daily engagements between the advance guards along the entire line of thirty miles. The Jap anese appear to be apprehensive of a cutting off of their movement owing to the fact that the Russian cavalry are south of the Taitse river and also owing to the presence of the Russian forces yesterday in their old positions at Bensihu. They have, therefore, fal- len back.
 The strong position at the Yentai coal mines, which has .been a cause for apprehension to the Russians, was vacated by the Japanese Oct. 9, though
 they are throwing up earthwOrks to- wards the west, where the superiority
 of the Russian cavalry will require su- | perior defense. It is believed that the 1 Japanese have about one hundred suns at the railroad bridge across the Taitse
 river. rendering hazardous a Russian attack there.
