War Raging in the Far East.

Mukden, March 7.-Fighting of
the fercest nature which is likely to
decide the fate of the battle which
has been progressing for ten days,
began at dawn today, and has con-
tinued uninterruptedly up to the
present time on a front IA miles
long west of the railroad and line
With Shakhe river. The Japanese
also have made desperate attack on
Bentsiaputze, and reports are arriv
ing here that fighting was renewed
this morning on the extreme left Of
the Russian army. Both sides are
fighting with desperation to the
westward, though the troops are
we'll nigh exhausted. The issue of
the battle may depend largely on
the relative physical condition of the
rank and file. The Losses in the ten
days of battle on both sides are al
ready far greater than were the
casualties in the battle Of Liao Yang
and are likely to increase as the days
pass before the issue is fully decided.

exciting one, inasmuch as every ship
has its crews hard at work training for
the event. In fact they have been al
work for several weeks getting in
