HuSTsvILfE, Ala, Sept le.-The Madison

are looking for nine others who have been
indicted. Judge Speake of the Circuit

and wired Acting Gov. Cunningham for
the militia.

in Jail on an indictment for murder in the
first degree.

peace Of this community, even II the city

II necessary Solicitor Peters denies the
rumor that Sheriff Rogers and Mayor Smith
have been indicted. The only foundation
for this report is the fact that the Grand
Jury has asked instructions on how to pro-
coed to bring about the impeachment of
these officers il such action should be
deemed advisable.
! Acting Gov. Cunningham yesterday ap-
pointed a military court Of inquiry to in
vestigate the conduct Of Capt, r. L. Hayes

Special Cable Despatch TO TIE Sum.
LONDON, Sept. IA despatch to the
Daily Mail from Mukden. dated Sept. IA.
says that the Chinese are greatly alarmed
by the prospect Of battle around Mukden,
chiefly because Of practical certainty Of the
demolition Of the sacred tombs Of the
dynasty at Fuhling.
This place occupies q wooded eminence
eight miles east of Mukden, close to the
Hun River. 1t is an important strategic
position, which inevitably will be the object
of artillery assaults. Chang Chun. the
Chinese Governor, made representations to
Pekin on the subject and requested that
diplomatic influence be exerted with the
view to inducing the combatants to fight
elsewhere. reply from Pekin directed
Chang Chun n appeal direct to the COM
manders OF the Russian and Japanese
armies, which was done, without, however,
eliciting a response.
1t is now taken for granted that both
armies intend to decide their fortunes by
great pitched battle on the open plain
along the Hun River. The Japanese will
not possess the crushing advantage OF
having hill positions from which nanking
movements can be made. AS there will
be more equal front there will be pro-
tracted and fierce struggle, and the result
will be more decisive than at Liaoyang.
The Russians assert that they were un-
able to hold their former positions against
their strategical disadvantages and that
their army was not beaten. While poor
peasants are focking to Mukden the rich
merchants and officials are preparing to
escape to sinminting. There is a shortage
