IN FIELD, Tuesday March7 The
tenth day of the Japanese attack finds
the battle progressing favorably. Its
long duration was expected and IL will
probably continue several days longer
before it Is concluded. The Japanese
forces have reached nearly to Mukden,
within two miles of the railroad and
are bombarding strongly. The Rus.
slams are everywhere making strong
resistance, frequently trying offensive
operations and arranging every defen-
