JAMS Artillery Pounding Away.

Mukden, March 7.-Yesterday's ar
tillery duel lasted until sunset The
firing was fiercest at the village OF
Fantziatun, which was set on fire by
shells. Shrapnel was responsible for
nearly all the wounded. The fighting
probably was only preliminary she'll
ing. Night attacks on the center and
left tanks were repulsed. The Japan
csc left 2000 dead in front of Gao Pass
The japanese artillery is pounding
away fiercely in the region OF Ulinpu.
Some shells from eight inch guns
charged with shimose powder also are
exploding not far away, and shrapnel
is roaring.
In the operations on Sunday the ad-
vance of the Japanese in the district
of Madzyapu and Niuchiatun was re-
pulsed. The Russian losses were 1900
killed or wounded. The attack by a
Japanese division west of Hushitai
was at first successful, but Russian
reserves arrived and checked the Jap
anese.

Headquarters OF General Rennen-
kampff, near Oubenepusa March 5,
via Mukden, March Z. - The road
northward Is crowded so far as the
eye can reach by a continuous file of
two-wheeled Chinese carts full OF
Russian wounded, the best testimony
OF the valor with which the army OF
the east fighting continuously for g
fortnight has defended every inch Of
the ground over which it has been
compelled by superior numbers TO re-
tire. Each cart bears from three to
five wounded men, whose exhaustion
is almost too utter for them to feel
pain.
The valley in front OF the Russian
position has become valley OF death.
Corpses strew the debatable ground,
from which neither side can remove its
dead
Again and again the Japanese
charged down the slope and up the
hill. Again and again the Russians
counter-attacked. trying to gain pos
session of the hill with the tower"
No quarter was asked or given by
either side The enmity ceased only
in death-the wounded, with breasts
torn open by shrapnel or bayonet, es-
saying another shot with their last
breath.
Here sits a Japanese upon a stone,
moments pause for rest having
stretched him out into eternity.
There lie two foes, with bayonets
sheathed in each others breasts.

st. Petersburg March According
TO correspondents with the Russian
army the tide of battle yesterday was
gradually rolling back from the imme-
date vicinity Of Mukden. operations up
TO noon having resulted in the capture
of several villages west and southwest
of Mukden; but late in the afternoon
the Japanese inaugurated a series OF
desperate attacks. the outcome of which
is still not chrOnicled. General Kaul-
bars. who is considered to be the best
OF General Kuropatkin's subordinates.
has taken personal charge Of the oper-
ations in this field. The commander
in-chief also is devoting his attention
to the fighting in the same locality
At latest reports the Japanese had
also launched an attack against Putt
loft Hill and other points on the Rus
sian front presumably with the inten-
ton of regaining positions from which
the Russians had ousted them during
the night. and also to prevent General
Kuropatkin from dispatching further
achievements against General Nogi's
hard pressed veterans. The latter, how
ever. have gotten up heavy field ar
tillery to their support, making a much
more even fight against the Russian
cannon.
The war Office estimates the number
wounded in the battle of Mukden at
u. 900. including 2S4 officers. but makes
no statement regarding the number OF
dead. This undoubtedly IS a conserva-
tive statement The Japanese losses.
according to the same source OF infor-
nation, are estimated at 10000.
The optimistic tone of the war cor
respondents is reflected in military
circles here. II is considered that even

ceeded in delivering a crushing blow
at the japanese, he has at least in
sured the possibility of withdrawing.
which was greatly ieopardlzed by the
operations of Generals NOgi and Ku
roki. The result of General Kuropat
kin's reported counter attack west OF
the railway, which If successful would
drive wedge between the western
army and the Japanese forces on the
Shakhe river, is awaited with keen
anxiety. 1t is felt that this is the oppor-
tunity which he missed at Lao Yang
and which deprived the Russians OF
victory when it had been won.
