TOXIC, March 5. - Field Marshal
Oyama is continuing his great drive
around both hanks Of the Russian
army. Oyama's front now resembles
a huge bow with its base on the Shakhe
river. His right arm reaches a point
east of Fushan. His left arm extends
to a point west of Mukden. He Is
steadily Tightening his great cord Of
men of steel, while Gen. Kuropatkin
is striving desperately to check the
Japanese advance, contesting their
flank encroachments and hammering
their center.
The Japanese are making heavy
gains west of the railway and have
captured great quantities Of stores.
Already there has been bloody fighting
and the heavy losses will be vastly in
creased when the masses Of infantry
meet.
Oyama reporting yesterday says:
Captures Railway Terminus
"a few days ago our force in the di-
rection of Sengching pressed the enemy
into his position at Tita, which is fif-
teen miles southeast of Fushan, and at
Manchuntun, fifteen miles south of
Fushan.
"An engagement continues in the di-
rection of the Shakhe river.
"On the nightNof March the enemy
made four determined attacks against
our positions at Housuntupaotzu and
Tangshiatun. All of his attacks were
entirely repulsed.
"In the district east of the railway
the enemy's frequent small attacks
were all repulsed.
"In the district west Of the railway
our force, continuing its fierce attacks,
has occupied the districts of Wuchen-
ying, five miles west of Shakhe village;
lishenpao, three miles northwest of
Wuchenying, and Shuhopano, the
terminus of the new railway which has
been constructed by the Russians.
Russians Driven Back
"Our force on the right bank of the
Hun river, after dislodging the enemy
from his position northeast of the
Siaopei stream, which is between the
Hun river and the Lao river, has ad-
vanced to the north. This force carried
the defense line of the enemy between
Changtan and Sufangtai and then
fiercely pursued the enemy.

fifteen miles southwest of Mukden;
Tatzupao, thirteen miles west of Muk-
den, and Lamuho, which is four miles
north of Tatzupao.
During the previous engagement
the casualties of the enemy were heavy.
We captured great quantity of spoils
but we have not as yet had time to
investigate them. We also captured
large quantities of provisions at Wan
changpao and a considerable quantity
of clothing at the depot of Tahantai."

ACCUSED SLAYER
ENDS HIS LIFE
MARTIN F. THOMAS IS FOUND
SHOT THROUGH HEAD
BELIEVED TO BE SUICIDE
San Bernardlno Officers Had Been
Seeking Him to Arrest Him for
the Murder Of John
N. Doyle

Special to The Herald.
SAN, BERNARDINO. March 5.-Ly-
ing few hundred yards back Of the
Doyle cabin, with a bullet hole through
his head, with the rifle lying across
his body, the remains Of Martin f.
Thomas, the supposed murderer of
John N. Doyle, were found today.
This sensational climax to the mys-
terry which has baffied the officers of
the county for the past three weeks
came as great surprise to the COM
munity at large. Judge C. L. Thomas
of this city, a brother of the dead man,
last night made the startling statement
that he believed his brother to be dead
than the brother realized it would be-
This morning Hugh Thomas and Frank
Thomas, sons of the dead man, and
Constable Will Allen, a son-in-law,
started out on search of the vicinity
Of the cabin. After several hours
search they came upon their fathers
body in small canyon. The body was
sitting in half upright position, a
bullet hole had been blown through the
head and rifle lay across the dead
stick, with which, it is believed, he
pulled the trigger, sending the fatal
bullet through his brain.
Believes 1t Is Suicide
Sheriff Ralph states there is no doubt
that it is case of suicide, though the
relatives of Thomas maintain that an
other murder has been committed.
The belief is that Thomas has been
dead since week ago last Friday
when the Doyle place was visited by
Sheriff Ralphs and Under Sheriff Nc
Nabb in search of evidence. Some one
was heard chopping wood in the house,
but when the officers entered no one
was to be found, though the hatchet
had been dropped in the middle of the
floor where it had been used. No trace
of a human being could be found. The
theory OF SnerlII fIdlpnS Is JndL Wnen
Thomas saw them approaching he be-
lieved they were coming to arrest him
for the Doyle murder and, fearing ex-
posure, made his escape to a canyon
in the rear and sent bullet crashing
through his own brain rather than
be convicted of the crime
This ending of the case is considered
as conclusive evidence by many that
Thomas killed Doyle, though the Off
GERS will not make a direct statement
to that effect
1t is believed that when Thomas left
the cabin he went to the rear to a
point where he could command a view
of the road leading from the cabin to
San Bernardino. He undoubtedly saw
the sheriff leave the cabin, go to neigh
bors and interview them, return and
make second search. This convinced
him the sheriff was after him and he
took his life.
