STORM STAYS SLAUGHTER
Hurricane of Dust Screens Movements
of Hostile Armies.

Mukden. March 9.-(Thursday, mid
night. filed at 5 am. March lO.)-Na-
ture today raised her hand against the
frightful slaughter west and northWest
of Mukden, the hurricane OF wind when
has been raging since morning having
raised a binding dust storm upon the
broad, fiat Lao river valley, in which 1t
was impossible at times to see a dis

Unable to see 9bj%ectives, both both armies erfaef
strange bodi1g quiet reigned laong the
western and northern fronts. 49,.
There is strong reason to Dei1eVe,
however. that the Japanese. columns
spent the day in an unrem1ttlng move
ment northward to occupy, positions I9r
a still more vigorous attack on the rail-
road the minute the storm clears.
Japanese Battle Line.
The situation is too serious to dis
cuss. and owing to the censorship, de-
tails cannot be given; but in general,
the lines held by the Japanese began
at the village Of Su-he-tun, on the Hun
river, ran north thru the village OF
Li%-fu-yan-tun, six miles west of Muk-
den railroad station, to Tu-tche-kiao,
thence northeast along the valley OF
the Pu river to the village Of Tau-kya-
tun, nine miles north-northeas Of Muk-
den and six miles west of the railroad,
and thence continued generally north
ward toward Tie pass.
In places the Japanese bent their
lines sharply inward, as at the imperial
tombs, which their shells are reaching
and where the railroad turns eastward.
One small body of Japanese crossed
the railroad to the east of the line.
Flight Became Imperative.
Behind this screen columns of jap
anese with artillery were moving north
one after another and the evacuation of
Mukden became imperative. All day
long military trains were departing
northward and the railroad line was
closed to civilian and passenger traf-
fc. Both the railroad and telegraph
lines were several times damaged by
Japanese shells.
The Red Cross nurses and surgeons
distinguished themselves under fire and
a regiment Of the Imperial Rifles fought
with indescribable valor. The double
eagle on top of it's standard was car
ried away by a shell and should, it is
claimed here, be replaced by a St.
Georges cross. ID:
The commissariat arrangements were
working better than expected, the
troops receiving hot victuals.
