Immense Damage to Vegetation and
Farmers Are in Despair.

TACOMA. July 26-The outbreak OF
the variegated cutworm in Western
Washington is unprecedented. The
worms first appeared two weeks ago,
and with appetites that would do credit
to the followers OF a Coxey army
movement. are eating every vestige OF
gardening and field products. Henry
Bentine. the largest gardiner in the
Puyallup valley. says his entire. crop
win be gone within a few more days.
Wednesday the worms began climbing
orchard trees and attacking the foliage.
Their menu includes anything green
and their number IS incredible. the
ground fairly working with them. Ma
ture potatoes are being attacked in the
ground here. the pests boring in the
ground after them. Old settlers say
the same kind Of worm appeared in
1874. and ate up farming produce and
then attacked forest trees. The leaves
were eaten from wild willow trees in
such quantities that the trees died.
Frank Alling. general manager Of the
Pierce County Agricultural fair. has
decided that it will be impossible TO
hold the fair this season. as the worms
will eat up all the exhibits. Paris
green, white lead and other remedies
recommended appear to check the pest
but very little. The market gardeners
Of the Puyallup valley are in despair.
The worm has a wide range of food
plants. attacking almost all sorts Of
garden and field crops. many weeds,
such as purslane. dock and pigweed,
and even climbing the trunks Of apple
trees. and cherry maple, elm and
other trees and feeding on the foliage.
There are perhaps very few plants it
will not feed on II driven to it by
hunger.

SHIPPING RATES GO UP.
Marked Advance Owing to Withdrawal
OF Steamships for Service as
Transports.

NEW YORK. July s6.-It is said In
shipping circles that the withdrawal OF
various German steamships. TO be used
by the German government for trans
ports to China, has already had stim-
ulating effect on ocean frelghIs, and es-
pecially on berth freight rates to con-
tinental p0ts.
This tirmness in rates has also
spread to steamers to carry full cargo s
OF grain. Four shillIngs per quarter
was paid for the British steamship Sir
Garnet Wolseley to carry grain, Aug
ust shipment from Baltimore to Cork
for order. The same rate was bid Tor
two other steamers.
The rate. It is said, represents an ad.
vance OF from one and a half to three
pence per quarter over rates recently
current for full cargoes OF grain.

fiow every minute. The bear trap had
been raised above the surface OF the
basin in order that the big force OF
men working on the false work OF the
proposed suspension bridge could pro-
ceed with the operations without en-
dangering their lives.
Smith. Ryan and Herman were in a
boat crossing over the basin and had
their backs to the whirlpool. Sud
denly the boat was sucked into the
maelstrom.
Herman and Ryan sprang into the
water and swan to the shore. but
Smith was thrown by the force of the
whirllng boat into the whirlpool. dis
appearing from sight instantly.
Down through twenty feet OF water
he shot. With tremendous force he was
caught by the current and hurled
through the gates. Luckily his knee
was the only portion OF his body to
come in contact with any OF the mas
onry. otherwise he certainly would
have been crushed to death.
Below the gate he was caught In
the rapids and carried 200 feet through
the swirling. turbulent waters. tossed
about like a rubber ball.
Finally Smiths feet struck the rocks
in the shallow and he managed to hold
on until rescuers reached him.

NEW YORK. July ga dispatch to
the Herald from Panama, July 25, SAYS:
Fighting between the government
troops and the revolutionists, which
began early yesterday morning. when
the rebels attacked the outskirts Of Pan
anna, continued all night with heavy
casualties on both sides. Efforts be-
gun yesterday to bring about an armi-
stice, in order that the dead might
be buried and the wounded collected,
were kept up during the night and
proved successful this morning.
1t was agreed by the leaders that
hostilities should be suspended for 12
hours. SO that each side might care for
It's dead and wounded. After firing had
ceased under this agreement. Hezekiah
A. Gudger. the American consul-gen-
eral. and the British consul. acting in
behalf of the entire CONSULAR corps, had
long and important conference with
the revolutionary leaders. Through
their Intervention both sides consented
to extend the armistice until noon to-
morrow.
The consuls are using every effort to
prevent bombardment Of the city by
the insurgents. Consul Gudger is es-
pecially active in this work, because of
the treaty obligations which require the
United States to insure the neutrality
Of the Isthmus of Panama, and pre-
serve freedom Of transit on the rail-
roads.
General Campo zerrano governor of
Panama. has arrived in Colon with 1000
troops from Barranquilla. He is ex-
pected to reach Panama with these re-
inforcements during the night.
The armistice has brought great re-
lief to the panic-strieken citizens Of
Panama. 1t has enabled them to ap-
pear in the streets with safety, which
could not be done while the firing con-
tinued, for stray bullets were con-
stantly dropping in the city. Several
persons were wounded by these bullets.
The ambulance corps from the Brit
ish cruiser Leander. which was asked
by the government to help in atten-
dance upon the wounded. landed this
morning and rendered valuable assis-
tanee. Every physician in the city,
Sisters Of Charity. and many private
citizens joined in this work.
Fighting became desperate several
times during the night. and both the
regulars and insurgents lost heavily in
officers. Among the revolutionists killed
were Generals Themistocles Diaz and
Joaquin; on the government side
Colonel Barona. Majors Holguin and
Rolando Linares, and Captain Pedro
Pachio were killed.
