VAGUE RUMORS

WHICH, IF TRUE, WILL HAVE INA
PoRTANT BEARING ON EAST.
ERIN WAR.
PRACTICAL SUSPENSION or NEWS
CORRESPONDENT THINKS INDi-
CATIONS POINT TO WINTER
CAMPAIGN.

The sangninary side OF the Russo
Japanese conflict is not now in EVIL
dence and with the practical suspen-
sion of news from the Far East the in
terest for the time being centers in
rumors-t that Viceroy Alexieff has re-
signed, as reported Sunday; that Gen.
Kuropatkin is to be replaced by Lieut..
Gen. Linevitch, now in command of
the forces at Vladivostok, and other
statements which cannot be traced to
authentic sources, but all of which, if
true, will have most important bear
ing ON the situation. One Russian cor
respondent points out that when the
Japanese withdraw from the Russian
front, 1t is usually the precursor of
their appearance on the flank, and he
thinks the indications point to win
ter campaign.
Interest again turns to Port Arthur
and to the effect that the Russian de-
feat at Liao-yang is likely to have on
the garrison there, and the fear is ex-
pressed that the siege will soon end in
disaster for Russian arms.

LOCUSTS INVADE THE
LAND OF EGYPT
Winged Plague Threatens to Destroy
All Crops in the Ancient
Kingdom.

CAIRO. May 21.-There is every prob
ability Of the plague OF lOcusts which
has now descended on Egypt proving a
serious one. Great anxiety IS felt for
the young cotton and other crops.
The locusts first arrive in comparative
ly small numbers. but they multiply very
rapidly as soon as they reach the edge
of cultivation. Within ten days the
young insects, though still wlngless, ad-
vance In solid phalanx sometimes two
or three feet deep and several miles In
length.
1t IS essential that at this stage they
should be destroyed. AS 1t would be i'm
possible TO check he ravages OF flying
locusts-
The method adopted during the last
visitation, that Of 1890, was 10 dig deep
trenches. sometimes miles In length, be-
tween which and the advancing swarm
huge heaps of straw were laid and fired.
Any locusts which succeeded in escaping
the flames and smoke fell into the
trenches, where they were destroyed by
natives under the supervision of English
instructors.
1t is a providential habit Of young To-
Gusts never 10 turn back OF aside when
once started. no matter what obstacles
are put In their way.
