Fearful Ravages of Small P0x in
Brazil.
Six Hundred Deaths Daily.

New YORK, Dec. 2s-Capt. VIM. Weir, of the
steamer City of Rio Janeiro, which arrived yesIe
day, says that the ravages of small pox in Ceara are
terrible. just before sailing for New York. Capt.
Weir met a gentleman from that region who told
him that people we're dying with such rapidly that
it was impossible to make cofius to supply the de-
mand, and the people dug bitches and tumbled into
them the unshroundei corpses eight or ten at
time. The deaths from small pox were as high as
five hundred and six hundred daily in Ceara city
alone, and 1t with great difficulty that persons
could be found to carry the victims to the burial
digches The city was crowded when the small pox
broke out with refugees from the interior of the
province, who had been driven in by a terrible
famine, which had desolated the province a few
months since. Among those refugees, already
weakened by famine, the disease ragged with fearful
violence.
The Brazilian government is doing all in its power
to alleviate the distress The country outside of
Cears has suffered less than the city simply because
there are fewer people to be attacked. During the
famine the government sent away all the people
they could to the number of about 10000 scattering
them all over Brazil One thousand were sent to
Para where they were employed by Collins Brothers
in the construction of a railroad.
Capt. Weir says that while the facts in Ceara can
not be exaggerated, there is no truth in the report
that the people in the interior Of the province
compelled to devour carrion and corpses. The i'll
habitants left in the country few that the gov
eminent now has no difficulty in supplying all the
food they require.
Of the Americans who went to Brazil to work up
on the railroad, not more than 70 stil at work.
The remainder have scattered in all difections find
ias 1t impossible to accommodate Themselves 10 the
climate and work. Those who can raise money to
pay their passage reforming home as fast as they
can, but large majority cannot get enough ahead
to take them out OF the country.
