RUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS, Huan
Mountain, Manchuria. Feb. 15.-Dur-
ing the Japanese bombardment of Pou-
tiloff hill a projectile from a siege gun
entered an underground hut, burst in
side, tore off the head of lieutenant
and wounded colonel and two staff
captains who were playing cards.
In front of Koudezi, on the right
flank, the Russians are trying the eff
feet of concentrated siege and mortar
batteries with good results, firing as
many as twenty mortars simultan-
eously.
The Japanese are reported to have
suffered more from the cold than the
Russians during the fighting Westward,

say that General Nogi will command

Rumors continue that the Japanese
are quietly shifting heavy forces
from their center to their tanks,
the constant artillery work in the

movements.
While the nights are still cold, the
days are warmer and the time is ap

ruin to either army should it occur

Japanese in Mongolia
Whatever grounds may exist for the
charges that the Russians are violat-
ing Chinese neutrality, it is certain
that bodies of Japanese troops and
Chinese bandits acting under Field
Marshal Oyama's orders are operating
in Mongolia. usually IN heavy detach-
ments of several hundred men. 1t
was one of such bodies that recently
destroyed a railroad bridge between

The Warrant Warehouse Company has nearly completed its building at Thirty-f1fth Street and Avenue A, which Is now in course of erection for the storing of cotton. w. D. Nesbitt stated to reporter that they would be ready for taking in surplus cotton for storage by the first of October.
 The building which is now nearing completion. will have a storing capacity of 16,000 bales of cotton. Judging from the cotton growth for the past two or three years. this means that the ware house vii be able to take care of all the cotton around Birmingham for & considerable distance that has been allowed heretofore to jay in the field corners exposed to all kinds of weather. The building itself will be 3a7xl24 feet. and will be tive stories high, made of solid concrete. The plot of land on which the warehouse Is built is 40ox4SO feet and is admirably situated adjoining the railroad tracks. On the south side of the building Is the Frisco. the Sea board Air Line and the Birmingham Belt Line. On the north side are the Alabama Great Southern and the South ern Railway.
 The freproof feature of the building is possibly the most interesting feature in the whole building. When completed there will be no wood whatever in the onuFe pldce. ms VIII insure against the outbreak of fire, a common occur renee in places where a quantity of cot ton is stored
 It was pointed out yesterday by MT. Nesbitt that fully $40.000 has been lost in the Birmingham district during the past six months through inadequate storage of cotton. The establishment of this warehouse In Birmingham will add materially to the influence of Bir- mingham in the cotton market and will be sought by the farmer for the storing of their products for many miles around Birmingham. Harvie Jordon, President of the Southern Cotton Growers Asso- ciation, when in Birmingham some time ago fully emphasized the need of a warehouse in Birmingham and predict ed a great future for such a building.

It Is scarcely an exaggeration to say that hardly a coun- ty in the British Isles is without some place or thing with the designation Devil.

 wide spread in the city. and no warm ing or intimation given by the author ities for the protection of an innocent and unsuspecting public. making 1t
 possible and probable for the infection to scatter over the entire country un- suspectecly, and.
 Whereas. The quarantine regulations of New Orleans, and some other sea port towns, have been made purposely loose for commercial reasons. thereby jecpardizing the health of the entire South, by the possible introduction of yellow fever, and.
 Whereas, The city of Pensacola has. by her rigid quarantine prevented the advent or yellow fever Tn tnIS locAilty for nearly a quarter of a century, with the exception of one suspicious case during the general epidemic of yellow fever in 1897, which was prevented from spreading or gaining any foot hold,
