St. Petersburg, 1 ly Cable. The loss
t . at least two Japanese warships is
officially confirmed. A message dated
Port Anbur, received by carrier pig on
.,t Mukden, was transmitted to the
Emperor early yesterday morning, saying
that two Japanese warships had
been lost off that port. The message j
followed the Emperor to Koursk, and
no one here knew its contents until |
late last night, when foreign telegrams
brought full details of the Japanese
loss.
Marly in the afternoon, reports of
i he sinking of the Shikishima and the
1 uji, on the authority of Russian refugees
from Rainy, began to circulate j
r ml nroi.sed the most intense interest.
When, later, confirmation came of the
sinking of tho Jnpancse warships, the
neatest enthusiasm was manifested.
Without reference to its effect on the j
tmpaigr, the people attribute the en- |
my's disaster to divine interposition
in the Russian cause.
In naval circles the Japanese catastiopho
is a matter for rejoicing, though
i egrets arc expressed that brave men
have lost their lives. Hut this feeling
of sympu hy in swallowed up in the
;renter thanksgiving for the blow indcted
on the sea power of the enemy.
It Is pointed out that tiie Ifatsuse was

NO RELIEF IN SIGHT:
War Dn Roll Weevil Seems to Be a i
Hopeless Struggle I
COTTON BLLT WILL BT: PLAGUED
W. D. Hunter. the Department of
Agriculture Expert, Thinks That
Pest Likely to Cause an Early Price !
Increase and Ultimately to Do !
$?jC.GC0.000 Annual Damage.
W'a hin-.'.ton. Special. Some significant
official predictions regarding the
ravages of the cotUm boll weevil are
made in a report soon to bo issued by
the Department of Agriculture, and
written by \V. 1b Hunter, who has
charge <>f the entomological part of
the lioll weevil investigation, in which
half a hundred experts are now engage,!.
Mr. Hunter says that, conservative
authorities agree that unless
contingencies at present unexpected
occur, the pest soon will cause an increase
in the price of cotton throughout
tlio world. By living within the I
fruit of the plant, the weevil is well
protected from any poisons that might
bo applied; i.t occupies but fourteen
days for development from egg to ,
adult, and the progeny of a single pair :
in a season may roach 111 1.000,000 individuals;
it adapts itself to climatic 1
conditions and is remarkably free !
n Kim |iaianiiUii aim till nu 11bining
to make efforts at control ditfieult.
The report estimates that the
presence of the weevil practically
doubles the area of land required to
produce a bale of cotton, and that the
weevil caused the Texas planters a
loss of about. $1 "..000,000 in IDO'.l. As
suming $500,000,000 as the value of
the net aial cotton crop of the county,
Mr. Hunter says the probable ultimate
damage when the pest has beeomn
spread over the entire belt
would approximate $250,000,000 an
nualty. providing nothing were done
to check it. Planters, however, are
.adopting chan:;. in methods. that
tend to avoid so much damage. The
report predicts that the weevil event-*
ually will In* distributed all over the
cotton belt, advancing into new territory
at the rate of approximately 500
miles a decade, and it probably always
will he as destructive in a series
of years as it lias been in Texas since
1&94. The report suggests that the
probability of its being carried to
West Africa or elsewhere abroad is
not at all remote.
In ease the seed happen", to bo sacked,
or even shippc l in bulk, there is
nothing to prevent the weevils from
being carried long distances on shiphoard.
as they are able to a iapt themselves
successfully to climatic condition.'.
It is pointed out. however, that
the danger could ho avoided by fumigation,
or by leaving the seed sacked
in store-rooms, isolated from new c itton
for a year pr. vi jr to shipment.
Government Crcp Report.
Washington, Special.?The we kly
crop bulletin .issued by the weather
bureau, says:
Cool weather has ' >en unfavorable
for cotton throughout the cotton belt,
and drought in portions of the eastern

of poor stands continue from
nearly all sections in the central and
eastern do rict . but good stands are
