THE PACIFIC
in STRATEGY
An interesting Theme
Is Discussed
Abroad.

LONDON, March Io.-Miller Ma
guire delivered lecture at the Royal
United Service Institution yesterday on
the subject of THE New Pacific From
a Strategic Point of View" Lord
Roberts presided.
The lecturer showed the universal de-
sire of various countries in the past and
at present to obtain footing in the Pa
cihc. He described the advance of Rus
STA, the United States and Great Britain
in that direction. He said:
"The capture by the United States of
Cuba and the Philippines has created
new Atlantic and new Pacific. The
United States has a reservoir of the me-
chanical and labor power of humanity,
knows the potentialities of the Chinese
and intends to control them"
Referring to the present situation in
the Far East, he said that at the begin
ming of the twentieth century Great Brit
ain and Japan bore the same relation in
eastern Asia as Great Britain bore to the
nineteenth century. He ventured to say
that the Tapanese would repeat in regard
to the Corean peninsula what Great Bri-
tain did in regard to the Iberian PENN
sula He saw no reason why the war
between Russia and Japan should not
last twenty-five years, as Great Britain's
peninsula campaign had.
Lord Roberts spoke briefly He drew
attention to the fact that the centre of
international gravity had now shifted to
the Pacific, and it was mainly in this di-
rection that the dominating factors
would be found when any serious COM
plications arose. He pointed out Rus
sia's vast work, Frances acquisition of
Indo-China, Great Britain's possession
of Hong Kong and Wei-hai-wei and
Gernany's possession of Kiaoclau, while
Australia from a waterless waste had
been changed to hourishing continent
There had been similar extraordi-
nary development in Eastern waters.
From the Pacific nine great railways
connected with the Atlantic. They were
an important strategic point, but would
be surpassed when the Panama Canal
was finished. After referring to the new
Pacific cables Lord Roberts closed by
saying:
"All these are very important ques-
tons for the strategist"

Theodore II. Davis Makes an I'm.
Sportant Discovery. I'm


LONDON, March To.-The Times
has description of the discovery,
thanks to the lavish expenditure and
American tenacity of Theodore NJ. Da-
WIS., of an important tomb in the
neighborhood of that of King Thotnles
~. of the eighteenth dynasty, which was
found in 1908 at Thebes.
Mr.. Davis has discovered the tomb
OF the famous Queen Hatshepsu, the
builder of the beautiful temple of Der
el-Bahari. 1t consists for the most part
OF corridor sloping downward into
the heart of limestone mountain.
After reaching three chambers, in spite
of enormous difficulties, the burial
chamber was found. Here are two
sarcophagi of hard sandstones, polish
ed like copper, covered with beautifully
formed hieroglyphics, which say that
one contained the mummy of Hatshep-
ST. and her father, Thotrnes ].
The lids of the sarcophagi lie on the
floor. The sarcophagi are empty. Hat
shepsu's mummy may be found in one
OF the unexpiored side passages of the
tombs, where, perhaps, it was deposited
for the sake of safety in time of danger.
The chamber is from forty to fifty feet
long. There are several side chambers
which are still filled with fallen rock
and rubbish. but it can be seen that
they, as well as the chamber itself. are
panelled with painted blocks of fine
limestone

| There will be a complete change of
program by the Nawn Vaudeville Com
pany at the Orpheum this evening. One
entirely new act, that of the Rose

entirely changes his or her act. in
many cases entirely changing the char
acterizations and make-ups also. The
kaleidoscope will produce a series OF en-

Dorothy Drew will introduce the
very latest coon songs to Honolulu,
including the "Ragman'' that has made
such a hit on all the amusement cir
cults. The Austins have a brand-new
set of tricks which they introduce in
new guise and Katherine Dahl will
change her numbers.
Tom Nawn and his clever family win
present the most celebrated of all the
Nawn sketches, "A Touch of Nature

The new acquisition, THE Rosebuds,'

charming lyric novelty sung and acted
out by nine people. The whole program

No. they do not, but Herpicide does,

The field marshal predicts that the
losses will prove very heavy.
The report does not mention the
number of guns taken, but 1t is known
that sixteen guns were captured at
Anping and Anshanshan, and earlier
reports mentioned the capture and use
against the railroad station at Lao
Yang of certain ten centimetre canet
guns.
Field Marshal Oyama says also that,
in spite of continuous attacks for ten
days against an enemy occupying semi
permanent Notifications and the heavy
resultant sacrifice. the spirit of devo-
ton and determination of the Japanese
troops is excellent.
Gen. Kuropatkin, according to the re-
port, continued to receive reinforce
ments until Aug. Is. and his final
strength consisted of at least twelve
full divisions.
The losses sustained by the Russians

force.
Gen. Kuroki encountered desperate
opposition in the battle on the nights
to the west of Heiyingtai. where he
fought continuously and hercely for
four days before he succeeded in dis
lodging the Russians.
1t is manifest that the stubbornness
of the Russian defense at Heiyingtai
saved the Russian line Of retreat and
averted an overwhelming disaster.

COTTON CROP OF LAST YEAR
MOST VALUABLE EVER RAISED
Secretary Hester Says the Crop Of 19o3-19o4
Was 1901 ,374 Bales. a Decrease of 1875

marketed, it has brought a better re-
turn in money values than any ever
produced in the South.
Referring to the increase in values
over last year, he gives details as to
prices, showing that while the low
est range of last season was from
September to January inclusive, the
year the highest range of values was
during the period of market
ing the bulk of the crop
and the result was that
planters obtained more of the advant-
age of the rise, instead of 1t coming
as usual after the cotton had passed
out of their hands. In other words
there were marketed up to Jan. 81
of this year in round figures 100000,
which sold for SAT- 100000. while up to
the same period last season the amount
marketed was 1885, 000 which brought
1886, 665, 900, a difference of only $4,000
bales and an increase in the amount
received of over $13S 900, 900.
Further referring to crop values, Mr.
Hester says that when it is considered
that the combined values of the past
three crops resulted in payment to
farmers, common carriers. merchants
and other handlers of over 81, $3.50, 900, 000
their Importance as factors in the pros
perity of the South and of the entire
country may be fully appreciated.
The consumption has been divided as
follows
Alabama 212, $685. increase of 594.

ST. Petersburg. Sept. 7.--2:2O a. m.--
There has been no news from Gen. Ku-
ropatlxin since Monday afternoon. This
is attributed to the interruption OF
communication with the commander-in-
chief, owing to the transfer of the tel
egraph office to Mukden, whittier mes
sages have to be sent by courier. The
utmost confidence prevails at the War
Office that the Russian army is slow
ly, but surely. effecting a retreat with
out serious risk of being cut off. None
theless intense anxiety is felt through
out the whole nation. and this feeling
is shared by the Emperor His majes-
ty is unwilling at such a juneture to
absent himself from Peterhof and has
eountermanded all proposed journeys.
He will not go to Warsaw or Libau,
and remains closeted for hours with
his military advisers.
II is believed that the outcome of
these deliberations will be an order to
nlobolize several more army corps.
Late Tuesday evening the Associated
Press obtained the following statement

ceived from Gen. Kuropatkin to-day
