HEAVY LOSSES ARE REPORTED
Russians Are StubbornIy Resisted
and Have Seized Head of
Bridge Across Shakhe.

A report from Mukden dated Feb
ruary 2S says:
Fighting is in progress along the
whole line, the Japanese attacking
everywhere. All attacks this morn
ing We're beaten back, and the Rus
SLAMS made counter attacks at many
places. On the right flank the Rus
slams occupied the village of Boata-
tai, which is closed to Sandiapu,
and from that position hurled hand
grenades across the intervening ra-
vine into the Japanese trenches in
Sandiapu, causing heavy loss and
great disorder.
The Russians have seized the head

assisted Jy artillery firing of particu.
lar energy from Putiloff hill and
Novgorod hill. Ten determined at.
nrks opposite Yansintung ami west
of Vanupudzi were all repulsed with
heavy loss.
The seizure of the railroad bridge
across the Shakhe river was the oc-
casion of a sharp combat. The
Russians succeeded in surprising the
japanese bridge guards and rein
forced, beat off all attempts of the
japanese to regain possession Of it.
The japanese are using heavy
siege artillery in the bombardment Of
Futiloff hill and Novgorod hill, and
this is believed to be preliminary to
an attempt to storm them. The
roar of artillery firing is echoing un-
ceasingly and the fight appears to be
developing in intensity along The
whole line.
