DISTRESS IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Men, Women and Children SubSistng on
Parched COrn-Assistance Urgently Needed.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 2S.-Informa-
tion received from the suffering districts says
the people are in bad condition, and on the verge
of starvation. People and animals are starving
to death In many places strong men are beg
ging ear corn to keep soul and body together,
and their condition is very distressing Many
people gain livelihood by running timber but
for months there has been no rise in the rivers
or mountain streams; hence the people are suffer
ing for food because no timber can be run. Unless
a rise comes soon there will yet be months of
suffering. The people have held out WELL try
ing to keep the story of their sufferings from
going abroad, but the time has come when
hunger pinches them. and they ask for food.
In the northern part of the county great suffer
ing is experienced among the mountain farmers
and lumbermen Children and women eat
parched corn when they can get it, and are
thankful. The winter was severe, and the peo-
pie poor and out of work. In many places stock
have died in large numbers from starvation.

GEN. GRANTS CONDITION.
DR.. Douglas Reports that He Passeda Good Day
Belief that the Reports Are Misleading,

New YORK, March 23.-Dr Douglas was very
tired when seen tonight, after leaving the
residence ofGeneral Grant. He reported that
the General passed good day; he had slept
from till o'clock in the morning, and after
breakfast went to drive In the afternoon
he drove out again, accompanied by Senior
Romero and DR.. Douglas He was rather quiet
in the carriage, not talking as much as usual
Dr. Douglas said there was no marked
change in the Generals condition
during the day, nor any complaint
of pain in the throat. He took food regularly,
and on returning from his afternoon drive en-
joyed nap. He retired to bed about 1890 an
anodyne pelnS given to induce sleep. The regu-
lar consultation will be held to morrow.
A special telegram from Galena, Ill.,. says
Notwithstanding the seemingly favorable re-
ports as to General Grants condition telegraphed
daily from New York to the newspapers, but lit
tie doubt is felt here by his friends that the grand
old hero is surely approaching his end. A private
letter, received by General W. r. Rowley to day,
from Col. Fred Grant says that his father is
growing weaker and weaker, but never utters
complaint; and private information from
other sources conveys the same sad impress
sion that the old commander is in more crit
ical condition than the press dispatches
would seem to indicate, and that the end is not
far off. -

A Movement to Array Honduras Against tho
Pretentions of Barrios.
WASHINGTON, March 28.--Information has
been received here to-day to the effect that a
movement is on foot to overthrow the govern
ment Of Honduras, and to form an alliance of
the people of that country with the people of
Nicaragua, Costa Rica and San Salvador, against
General Barrios. The movement, it is reported,
originated with Marco Aurelo Soto, ex-President
of Honduras, who is now in New York city.
Since Barrioss announcement of his intention to
make himself supreme military chief of the Cen
trail American states, Soto is said to have
been quietly at work trying to break
the alliance of Honduras with Guatemala The
people of Honduras, it is understood, are OPP
posed to Barrios, and are only waiting for an
opportunity to break away from him. They are
therefore willing to join forces with Nicaragua
in an attempt to overthrow their own present
government The Nicaraguan forces, it is as
serted, win number 5 900 or more, and will cross
the border line of Honduras and aid in revoiu-
ton. With the addition of the opponents of Bar
