She started from that city crowded with pas
sengers, yet at Cairo took on a large number
from the Oriental. Dr.. Mayo, Of ST. Louis,
called on US yesterday, and made statements
relative TO the conduct Of the officers which,
if true, should at least consign them to the
penitentiary. From his account the passen-
gers were literally starved. There was
scarcely standing room on the boat, and some
of the passengers actually were half starved,

There were number of sick among the deck

hear something further from the passengers
