St. Louis, July U.—An Austin
(Tex.) special to the Republic soys in
relation to the cotton outlook in that
atate:
Now that the waters are receding
all along the Brazos river bottom, the
question agitating not only the Texas
farmer and the Texas cotton buyer,
but the eastern money markets is:
"Whnt- will be the loss on the cotton
crop as a result, of the flood"
In order that some correct estimate
might be obtained, a cereful compila
tion of the estimates from nil the
flooded districts has been made by the
cotton exchanges in this city, and it
haa been asoertined that the Rrazos
bottom loss will represent some 200,
000 bales, valued at $5,000,000. This
loss, according to districts, is estimat
ed as follows:
Kstlmated Losses.
From points on the Bosque river,
north of Waco, the yield has hitherto
averaged 7,000 bales, nnd it is figured
that that section will not yield over
2,000 bales this year as a result of the
flood. From Waco south on the Brazos,
which is the cotton section of the
state, the comparative tables show
losses as follows:
At Waco, yield last yjtfr was 50.000
bales; this year jjt will be reduced to
30,000.
At Marlin, last, year it was 15,000
bales; this year it will not exceed 7,
000.
At Kenyan it was 3,000 last year; the
yield this year will not exceed 1.000.
At Rremond it was 5,000, ns against
2.000 this year.
From Bremond to Calvert the inter
vening country will not yield 1.000
bales, where last year it yielded 2,000
bales.
At Calvert the yield will be 10,000
this year, as against 30,000 last.
In the intervening country between
there and Bryan the yield will lie 3,
000, as against 6,000 last year.
At Bryan the yield will lie 10,000, as
■gainst 40,000 last year.
The intervening country between
Bryan and Navasota will yield 2,000,
■s against 5,000 last year.
At Navasota the yield will be 20,000,
as against 40,000 Inst year.
At Millican it will be 1,000,as against
6.000 last year.
At Hempstead it will lie 1,000, as
against 0.000.
From the country between Hemp
stead and Richmond to yield last
year was 10,000 bales, and it is esti
mated that the crop there will prove
a dead loss this year. This will be the
case nlso with Richmond, where 10,000
bales were marketed last year.
At Wharton the yield will be 5,000,
as against 10,000 last year.
At Brenham the yield will be 20,
000, as against 45,000 last year.
At Chappell Hill the yield will be
2,000, as against 7,000 last year.
At Caldwell the yield will be 10,000,
as against 15,000.
At (ameron, where the crop last
year was estimated at 20,000, it will
prove a total loss this year.
At Belton the yield will be 20,000, ns
against 25,000 last year.
It is estimated that from Brenham
to Milano, along the Santa Fe, where
10.000 bales were marketed last year,
the crop will la* a total loss.
At Hearne fully 75 per cent, of the
ciop will be lost.
Ilia t>-t.«ud (>«|i Rfnrltrd.
These estimates nre thought to l>e
verj- close. The cotton men. however,
estimate now that the great loss in the
Brazos bottom will be off-set by the
cotton raised on the upper lands. The
rains which have flooded the Brazos
bottom so us to raise such havoc have
benefited the crops in higher lands to
such an extent that it is predict, d that
the additional yield there will offset
the loss in the bottom, so that the ag
gregate of the Texas cotton crop will
be little, if any. short of last year,
though the location of the yieid will
be changed from the Brazos bottom to
other sections of the state.

New Orleans, July 13.—The I’ica
jMine prints the following:
News of the gravest import from
Guatemala was brought to this city
bv the passengersof the Snyder steam
ship Ilreukwater. which touched at
four or five of the leading Central
American ports before putting in here
late Monday night. The re|H>rts seem
to l>e authentic in the main, and come
from sources that are of the highest
order.
lmHi mmonairimon.
“.Fust before sailing’ on the steamer
for New Orleans," said one of the pas
seng* rs, "1 was informed l>v several
persons that England and Germany
would shortly make a naval demon
stration on the two leading ports ot
the reput)lic of Guatemala. I learned
that a large amount of the govern
ment debt, in the form of bonds is
sued by the government of Guatema
la, is held by English and German in
terests. These bonds have been prac
tically repudiated; at least the bond*
have sunk to nothing, and the Ger
man and English holders have pro
tested vigorously to their govern
ments.
Fonr Warships Sent.
“Four warships are said to have
l>een ordered to Guatemalan waters,
two German and two English. One of
each flag will proceed to Puerto Bar
rios and one of each nation will be
sent to San Jose de Guatemala, which
is on the Pacific side of the republic.
An Interestlnir Point.
“The point that most interests the
l nited States is that if the seizure of
the customhouses should result in a
long holding of those ports, in order
that the amoupts could be collected, it
would be necessary for a protectorate
to be established over the republic o!
Guatemala while this was going on.
The Mnturn! Course.
In that ease, the natural course of
affairs would be to turn either Mexi
co or the United States for that pro
tectorate. The first proposition would
hardly be probable, because of the bad
feeling existing between Guatemala
and the republic of Mexico over the
boundary dispute.”

THE VESSELS SPAIN LOST
Elforts~to Srenrf the Itclnn Merc*
dm anil Other Spanish W»r
Craft Brins Made by Spain.
Washington. July 13.—An offer from
a prominent firm of ship brokers, do
ing a large foreign business, to pur
chase the Reina Mercedes and any and
all of the war craft captured during
the late war. has aroused a suspicion
that f»pain is trying in this indirect
manner to obtain possession of the
vessels and thus remove thf offense to
Spanish pride caused by the floating
of the American flag over her ships.
The offer mentioned no figures, but
simply requested that the navy depart
ment name its price for the Mercedes
and the remainder of the captured
Spanish ships. The navy department
will not sell any of these vessels, and
that answer will be returned to the
writer of the letter. Secretary Long
has decided that it would not pay to
attempt to renovate the Mercedes and
use her us a warship. The cost would
be no less than half a million dollars,
and the ship would, when repaired, be
of old type and not up to the require
ments of a modern naval ship. There
fore the repairs to be made on her will
be confined to a little painting and
cleaning and patching and the Mer
cedes will be left as a show ship, like
the oil! Constitution, to gratify the pa
triotism of the American people.
