Thaw Followed By Gale.

Gunshu Pass, Manchuria. April 1.-The thaw has been followed by fierce gale, which has dried out the mire and is now raising a heavy dust It Is a providen- tial change. as otherwise the troops tenting in the mud probably would soon be subject to sickness, even in epidemic form.
 E It is steadily becoming more evident that first calculations to Russian losses in the battle of Mukden were ex- aggerated.
 A portion of the Fifth rife regiment. which was cut oIL at Mukden, has just arrived at kirin, having succeeded In penetrating the Japanese lines.
 Chinese state with nositiveness that Geenral Kawsmuras army, supported by General Negfs army. is moving in a northe@starly . direction. aiming to cut Russian communications with Vladivo- stok.
 Chinese Become Hostile.
 According to the same sources 30,00J Japanese landed at Dalny March 28, and 1t is reported that six additional divi- sions are forming in Japan to operate against Vladivostok and Sakhalin.
 The Manchurian Chinese have adopted an attitude of positive hostility to the Russians. A body of five hundred na- tive horsemen fired on Russian troops at the village of Chendi and Manchurian militia Is said to De taking the nelu on the side of the Japanese on the Hun river.
 The leader, Fuingo. has been appointed commander of the militia at Kaiyuan but force of Chinese regulars Is stationed along the border of Mongolia, with the object of preserving neutrality. The Japanese now occupy Sytzyatji Chang tufu and Kalpangomu, and the impression prevails here that the direct advance from the south has halted for the present at that line.
 There were a number of skirmishes last week between Russian and Japanese scouting parties, but no action of serious consequences.
 The country in which the present opera tions lie on both sides of the railroad eastward from the Mandarin road, is wide plateau broken by spurs of medium sized hills, running north and south. Near Sipingha the whole plateau Is cut by small streams some of which have some steep banks, and in many places the ground is half swamp. There are few large villages or hamlets. These villages consist of large buildings surrounded by high walls and sometimes by ditches, making excellent points of defense. The region is rich and the troops on arriving found large stores of forage and wood.

CuIIman Men Are Fired Upon by John Williams
 NtaI Joppa
DEPUTY | H.. DUNLAP WILL
 DIE FROM HIS INJURIES
Desperate Man Barricades Himself In House and Defies All Corners. Culman Posse Leaves
 for Scene.

Cullman, April 11.-(Special.)-one or the most dastardly and distressing trage- dies in the history of the county ocui- red this afternoon about 4 o'clock one mile north of Joppa, a small postonice 22 miles east of this place and as re- suit State Senator Robert L. Hipp is dead and Chief Deputy Sheriff j. H. Dun lap is probably fatally wounded.
 Owing to the remoteness of the scene of the tragedy and the absence or tele- phonic communications it is almost im- possible to get the exact details of the horrible affair.
 The facts as near as can be learned at this hour are that Deputy Sherin Dun lap. in company with Senator Hipp' R. E. Ryan, a liveryman at this place, Con stable Giles of Joppa precinct and MT. Holmes of Joppa went out to serve some papers of ejectment upon a man by the name of John Williams, who had pre- viously been ejetced from the premises but had returned without legal permis- sion
 Williams Invites Them In.
 Senator Hipp was the attorney in the case and he and Dunlap stepped in at the front door and informed Williams of their mission, at the same time reading the papers to him. Williams accepted the situation very coolly and seemed to submit withotu word of protest, invit- ing them into the house. There was no thought of trouble by either Dunlap or Hipp. Deputy Dunlap called to Constable Giles and Holmes, who were in the yard, to come in, at the same time placing his hand upon some pieces Of furniture, yhereupon the wife of Williams remark cd: Don't you move any of that stuff and sgnalled her husband to open fire, which he did with deadly effect.
 The first shot struck Deputy Dunlap in the breast and he started for the front door, while Senator Hipp was making for the rear door. when Williams turned the weapon upon hlm and fired, the ball striking the senator in the head.
 Hipp walked around the house and fell. while Dunlap, realizing the serious ness of his wounu and suffering from the less of blood. made his way to a neigh bring house. Seeing tiles. Holmes and Ryan on the outside, Williams then turned upon them and continued his murderous fusillade by firing several shots at them They also sought the shelter of the nearby woods.
 Began WhistIing on veranda.
 After dispersing the entire posse Will Hams walked out upon the veranda and sat in a chair and began whistling, and told boy who had come from neigh boring house. Seeing Giles. Holmes and the people up there that he had killed Bob Hipp shot Dunlap and run the bal ance off, and if they wanted him they would find him right there at home.
 Excitement is at fever heat in Gull man and every available livery rig is pressed into service carrying armed men to the scene of the tragedy. The affair has cast a gloom over the entire commu- nity, as no men in the county were held in higher esteem than Senator Hipp and Deputy Dunlap.
