 The line of the Japanese advance guards extends about seven miles parallel with the railway
 Scattered Chinese villages, which are practically the only shelters in this open plain, are receiving particular att tention from the gunners.
 Throughout the day the Russian bat teries replied vigorously to the Jap anese fire and the exchange of shrapnel has been terrific. The whole of the fire zone is occasionally obscured by dense white smoke from exploding missiles

Telegraphs St. Petersburg Regarding Japanese Approach. St. Petersburg, March 5.-The ad- vance guard of the Japanese left army was within five and a half miles of Mukden Station Saturday, according to a telegram from General Kuropatkin given out today. Other Japanese had captured Suchudzia and Lanschanpa, the same day while their attacks on Putilon Hill and thirteen fierce assaults on 'Kandolesan were repulsed.
 The commander-in-chi despatch, dated March 4. Is as follows:
 Friday night was quiet on the west ern flank. On Friday a detachment of our forces on the Mukden-S n-Sinmintin road met and fought a body of the en- emy advancing from the westward. Gun firing has been audible since morn- ing in the direction of SuchudZia.
 Ali Is quiet on the center except in the Shakhe zone. which the Japanese attacked during Friday evening. creep ing up to the wire entanglements of our Notifications and hurling hand grenades. The attackers, however, were soon repulsed without succeeding In damaging the entanglements.
 'The Japanese advance guard during Friday evening continued It's attacks on Kandolesan and the tenth attack was repulsed at o'clock this morning. Japanese corpses are piled high against our earthworks.
 "The enemy's attacks against the Gaotu pass position were suspended to- wards Friday evening, but a renewal of it Is expected.
 "Their operations on our left flank were also suspended Friday evening and it was noticed that the Japanese troops opposite Kidiadzu were falling back.
 Major General Schatiloff and Colonel Gurko were among Fridays wounded.
 To-day (saturday) the advance guard of the enemy, which Is envelop- ing our right flank, was noticed be- tween the Mukden -Sinmintin Road and the Hun River five and one-half miles from Mukden station.
 The Japanese today captured Lans- chanpa after hard fighting.
 The Japanese advance on the Shakhe station was commenced at 5 o'clock this morning, but has been sus- pended. The enemy has been driven back by volley firing by our advance guards.
 Two Japanese attacks on Putiloff Hill at II a. III. Friday night and at l o'clock this morning. were repulsed."
 In a later dispatch of the same date, General Kuropatkin says:
 The enemy renewed the attack on the Kandolesan positions, but was beaten back with great loss Alto gether the Japanese delivered thir- teen charges. The attacks have since been suspended.
 Two attacks on the Kutilini position at o'clock this morning were re- pulsed.
 The night and day were compara- lively quiet on our extreme left. Our detachment at Kuchialzu (about twen- two miles east of Liaoyang) advanced somewhat during the night"

PORT ARTHUR VETERANS.
They Are Now Attacking Kuropatkir
 FanaticaIly.

Mukden, March 5.--(Noon. 1.-The rumble of carts in the streets of Muk- den is drowned by the roar of battle. which is raging northwest, west and southwest of the city a few miles away, between General Nogis Port Arthur veterans and the hastily assem- bled army interposed by General Ku- ropatkin to defend the city and rail- roads.
 The stroke came like lightning out of a clear sky. It is reported that the situation has somewhat improved, but Is still extremely critical. It is re- ported that the Japanese have been thrown back in the district of Lunfa- shan and are retiring along the Sim ninth road, but heavy fighting is con- tinuing there. The Japanese vanguard posts are about six miles out of Muk- den, where the bursting of shrapnel is plainly visible. A fight also Is raging at Suchudsiapu and Lanschanpu, which on Saturday were captured by the Jap anese after a terrible combat, the vil- lages several times changing hands.
 The Japanese on Friday advanced on the Russian position at Shakhe vil- lage, but were beaten off. Twice they attacked Poutiloff, but both attacks were repulsed. At Ouoenepusa a Jap anese force of over twenty battalions made thirteen attacks the night of March 3, and the morning of March 4. storming the redoubts most furiously All these attacks were repulsed with q very great loss. The ground in front of the redoubts was fairly strewn with heaps of Japanese corpses.
 The Japanese and Russian artillery are engaged in the heaviest duel of the war. Russian mortars are fired at the Shakhe bridge and Japanese ll-lncn guns are in full play, but the Russian Notifications. on which the Russians had been working all winter, offer a fairly secure protection for their de- lenders.
 There is little news of General Kuro- patkins operations on the extreme east of the line. The Russians are holding their ground and even advanc' ing, but 1t is reported that Japanese cavalry division with twelve quick fir ing guns Is sweeping far to the east ward on a rapid turning movement.
 The carnage at the center and or both Hanks has been enormous. The Japanese at many places sinrly threw away their lives, beating against tn, Russians powerful fortifcation in at tacks which in the center apparently were intended chiefly as a demonstra tion to cover the driving home of Gen eral Nogrs blow. It is believed now that the operation to the eastward wal in part in the nature of a feint; witt the design to draw reinforcement thither. If this was the design. | was successful, General KhropatkiI having sent the first corps to the as slstance of General Linevitch.

River, and now runs northwest and southeast. passing eight miles from Mukden, covering and crossing the Sinimintin road.
 According to prisoners. the Japanese force on the Liao River includes the First. Seventh and Ninth divisions from Port Arthur. Part of the turning force is probably made up of reserves which came from Yinkow by rail on seven trains. The Port Arthur veterans advanced to the attack shouting in Russian:
 Out of the way for us; we are from Port Arthur"
 They offered their lives with the same fanatical bravery and were as unshaken by heavy losses as at the siege of Port Arthur.
