Petrograd, Feb. 10.-(Via London. }
The marvellous mobility of the Ger.
man army has shifted the fighting in
the eastern theater of the war almost
In a night. Where three days ago the
territory in the region of the Bzura
was the scene of the fiercest fighting,
the extremities of the eastern battle
front, East Prussia and the Carpa-
thians, are now witnessing engage
ments which are growing in intensity
with every minute.
Germans Shift 6oo,ooo Men.
The Germans, utilizing the 10000
motor trucks and the railroads, have
suddenly shifted some 100000 men to
the north on the Koenig sberg line
aid have brought up reserves to re-
inforce thu Austrians holding the
passes of tie mountains on the Hun
garian border.
The fighting line to the north in
East Prussia is practically contin-
nous. 1t extends from the province
OF Flock, in Russian Poland, as far
north as Tilsit The Germans appar-
emily are taking the offensive from
Gumbumo as far south as Lipno, in
Poland, thus making another drive at
the right bank of the Vistula.
Marshal Won Hindenburg, now af.
fiicted with the govt, never leaves his
car in his supervising tours, but with
his feet wrapped in plaids, travels
constantly, receiving reports and
transmitting the order of the general
staff.
Would Head of Russ Attack.
AL signs point to the initiation of
battering ram movement along the
northern line in East Prussia and In
a Russian drive towards Koenigsberg.
In addition to the first line strength
hurriedly shifted to that point masses
of reserves are being concentrated be-
hind them in order to counteract the
effect of the Russian repulse of last
Saturday. The situation indicates
that a battle is imminent in East
Prussia between the Polish frontier
and Koenigsberg.
Dispatches from Zyradow, Poland,
describing the recent furious fighting
OH the Bzura, facing Warsaw, says
the tide began to turn in the Russian
favor on Feb. a. The Russian peas
ants advanced to the task which was
like forcing the gates of hell, SO ter
rible was the fire rained on them.
Inch by inch they forced the Germans

Germans Use Explosive Bullets.
God knows how they suffered
says the correspondent who sent the
dispatch. 81 have never seen such,
horrible wounds as disfigured the poor
fellows who lay crowded in Count So
bansky's chateau at Guzow. The
sight nearly unnerved one of the most
experienced Russian surg cons. Great
numbers had their chest and stomach
torn open by explosive bullets used by
the Germans, arms and legs were torn
OF and IN almost all cases the wound
ed were mangled."

EXCITING TIME
IN The KILLING
OF A WILD BULL
SEVERAL POLICEMEN WERE
SUMMONED AND QUICKLY EN-
Gagged IN SHOOTING ANIMAL
WHICH WAS A DANGEROUS
ONE.


Three members Of the Pensacola
police department yesterday morn
ing engaged in the really exciting
and interesting pastime Of shooting
a bull, in truth and in fact. It re-
quired about twenty shots from re-
vnlvers and Winchester to lay the
fsrocious animal low, and when the
fearless FTorida-raised product went
TO the mat and breathed its last,
there were scores Of people who also
did some breathing they breathed
easier than they had been inhaling
the ozone for the previous couple Of
hours. Captain Of Police CusacNs,
Mounted Oficer Steward and Officer
Tarrants were the bull marksmen.
Just which one fired the fatal shot is
yet b dispute. but they all aclnowl-
edge TO shooting the bull" while
scores Of people looked on.
The animal escaped from the stock
pens Of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad at $3.50 o'clock yesterday
morning, and before it was killed
had chased any number Of people
from the streets. Even the care
takers On the trainload of cattle were
not free from the animals horns, for
when one Of them struck q fighting
attitude In trying to get the animal
back to the pens, and the bull saw
them standing so defantly, toss of
the head and q whisk Of the tail, and
the animal was after them. It was
remarkable what memory they dis
played in remembering that the TOP
of the train was the highest available
point, and what agility they demon
strated IN getting to that point.
Dozens Of people, according to the
police report of the excitement, mar
rowly escaped the maddened animal

to capture or pen the bull and fail

HAS PURCHASED

MEXICAN CRAFT
NEW ORLEANS MAN ANNoUN-
CES THAT BONA FIDE TRADE
HAS BEEN MADE FOR THE
SCHOONER YsIDORo.

Announcement has been made
that the Mexican schooner Ysidoro
has been purchased by Nathan S.
Stern, head of New Orleans foun-
dry and machine shop, the trade, it
being alleged, having been a bona
fide one. The schooner is anchored
in the slip between Central and
Commandments wharves, and is in
the custody of the United States
marshal. There are representatives
of two factions from Mexico here,
and "Col." Cardenas is at the head
of the faction which came here and
has established claim for the YES
sci. The Mexicans have taken rooms
at the San Jose hotel, on East
Wright street.
It appears that seven chests of
money" are on the way, or are al
ready in Pensacola, judging from
the New Orleans States, which in a
late issue, thus refers to the vessel:
Nathan A. Stern, head of the
Stern Foundry and Machine Com
pany, of New Orleans, has bought
the Cotton Mexican schooner Ysidoro,
which is being held at the port Of
Pensacola by litigation IN the fed
eral court between the Villa and Car
rama consuls at New Orleans, in
stituted by the latter to prevent the
vessels departure on an alleged Villa
revolutionary expedition against
Yucatan. Carranza's consul has libel
ed the schooner on the ground that
she was stolen from the Constitu.
tionalist government of Yucatan, and
had been loaded with arms and am
munition. The case is pending be-
fore Federal Judge w. l. Grub, a
Birmingham.
Mr.. Stern has filed an interven-
ton in the libel and expresses con
fidence in his ability to prove thai
the sale Of the schooner to him is Z
bona fide transaction, and that hi
bought her from the rightful owners
the Constitutionalists.
meanwhile the seven chests Of
Villa paper currency, of little actua
value, addressed to Col. P. Cardenas
at Pensacola, which were held NJ

SOLDIER TEAMS
PLAY FAST BALL
TWENTIETH COMPANY AND THE
SEVENTY-SEVENTH COMPANY
SPLIT DOUBLE-HEADER WITH
THE SAME SCORE.

In two of the fastest games of the
season, the goth Company and the
nth Company split double bill yes
terday at Barrancas.
In the first game the goth Com
pany let the Post champions down
without hit, defeating them in a
score of 2 TO 1, this being the only
no-hit game played on the Barran-
cas- diamond. Niece, pitching for
the 10th Company, had the hard
hitting Champs at his mercy, and at
no time was he in any real danger.
The teamwork behind him was of
the major league style. Binger,
working on the rubber for the 77th
Company, pitched a fine game, but
punched hits won the game in the
fifth inning.
The second game was very fast
and snappy, Brown pitching for the
goth Company, and allowing only
two hits. Two wild throws, how
ever, cost him the game.
The peculiar part of the games
was that both were won in the same
score, that Of 2 to 1.
Line-ups of the games were as fol
lows:
10th Company-Neece, pitcher; A.
Brown, short stop; G. Brown, first
base; Schwindinger, third base; Red
field, catcher; Boring, second base
Bressner, center field; McReynolds
left field; Lueller, right field.
77th Company - Seranke, short
stop; Binger, pitcher: Abrams, third
base; Lusids, second base; Strader
left field; Anderson, first base; Dyer
center field; Butler, catcher; Jeritt
right field.
In the second game the teams lineC
up substantially the same as above
