WASHINGTON, October l2.--The
October cotton report of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture makes tho general
average Of the condition Of cotton as. Z
against ST. month ago. Last year,
in October, il was 50. Besides this
unfavorable difference in condition, the
crop is late this year, and the chances
against repetition Of last years ex-
traordinary length Of season Of growth.
The average condition by states is as
follows: Virginia, n; North Carolina,
70; South Carolina, u; Georgia, rs;
Florida, "a; Alabama, 70; Mississippi,
"a; Louisiana, 10; Texas, rs; Arkansas,
76; Tennessee, 10.
The Atlantic Coast breadth has suf-
fered more from adverse conditions
than the Gulf Coast areas. Excess Of
moisture in August and early in Sep
TENDER, with drouth and high tempera-
ture later, tested the vitality of the
plants Of the coast region severely,
causing shedding Of leaves and bolls,
premature opening and a light yield.
West Of the Mississippi there was Il
variable record Of moisture. a county
in Texas, for instance, reports a con-
tinued drouth for ninety days, while
another notes the prevalence Of de-
struetive rains. This section reports d
smaller loss Of fruitage by sudden
changes Of temperature and rainfall
than the more eastern states.
There are insect losses, somewhat
general, though not unusual or very
heavy, through most ofthe cotton belt,
from the caterpillar, boil worm and
army worm, especially in bottom
lands.

ONANcoeK, Va, October 12-The
United States steamer Despatch, which
left New York yesterday, went ashore
last night in a heavy gale on the ASA.
league shoal, on the east coast Of vir-
ginia, about sixty miles northeast Of
Cape Charles. She is now complete
wreck. All Of the crew were safely
landed, and are now housed on the
beach in comfortable quarters. 1t was
at first reported here that Secretary
Tracy was ON board, but this was found
to be incorrect as news was received
here that he was in Washington. The
shoal is a treacherous one, especially
when the sea is heavy.
The Despatch was on her way to
Washington, having left New York.
She was under the command Of Lieu
tenant w. E. Cowles, of the navy, and
had full complement Of men on
board. She passed out of the Narrows
about two hours after leaving New
York, and then put to sea, intending
to go down to Cape Charles, and there
turn into Chesapeake Bay and pro-
coed up the bay to the Potomac, and
thence to Washington. She expected
to arrive in Washingtonin about forty
eight hours, at most.
Immediately after leaving New
York the steamship ran into foul
weather. There was bad wind, and
an ugly sea was running. 1t was de-
cided to keep the steamship under the
coast, thus to escape any bad weather
that might have been kicked up further
out by the hurricane from Bermuda,
which has been making things disa-
greeable and dangerous in the Allan
tic.
A bad fog came up with nightfall,
and so the Despatch slowed down con-
siderably, although even at that SHE
was making fair speed. The weather
continued to grow worse, and when
the vessel struck was blowing quite a
gale. The sea was running high, with
decided land swell.
The vessel struck head on. The
shock came some time ON toward mid
night. Immediately the sea swept her
about with broadsides ON to the shoals.
The Despatch commander Immediately
let go the anchors, but they did not
strike until after the waves had beat
her well up on the shoals.
The Despatch was soon to have been
displaced by the Dolphin, NOW fitting
ont at Norfolk as despatch boat.
