Mexico, to friend in this city, tells of
the most widespread and pitiable fam

rain in many sections of the state for
nearly two years. Cattle are dying by
the thousands, and men, women and
children are driven to madness by hum
ger. President Diaz has been appealed
to and has suspended the custom duties
for the state in order that breadstuffs
from the United States can be gotten
to starving people at the least cost.

4 VERY SICK MAN
Much Distressed Over the Con-
ditiOn of Mr.. Blaine.
That is Elder Shepard's Editorial Comment
A Friend Who Saw Him Said: That's Not
Jim Blaine: Its His Ghost"

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, July 7.-Colonel Sheppard,
who is dyed-in-the- wool Republican, has
this to say editorially in his Republican
paper, the Mail and Express: I'VE are
much distressed over the condition of Mr..
Blaine as reported from Bar Harbor and
hope that it cannot be true that it is likely
that he is not going to recover. We pre-
fer to hope that he is improving and will
soon again be at the helm OF our foreign re-
lations.''
The Nail and Express lso publishes the
following special from Bar Harbor: The
secretary of state Is IN a pretty bad shape.
Friends who see him at the window where
he often sits looking out at the ocean re-
mark about his failure in appearance, but
Mrs. Blaine tells them he is improving
every day. Whether this is clever bit of
diplomacy or whether she is deceiving her
self il would not be safe to say, but his
condition can be pretty well summed up in
the remark made by a friend who had not
seen him since ne left Washington and who
got good glimpse of him as he rode by in
his carriage: THAT is not Jim Blaine, that
is his ghost" His shoulders are drawn in
and his chest recedes, his doctors are buoy
ing him up and encouraging him, but
noted metropolitan doctor who makes his
summer home here was heard to say only
yesterday IN the hotel Office that the cabi-
net room in the White House would never
see him again. The world outside has no
idea of the real status of this distinguished
mans illness. There are plenty of CORES
pondents here, but for some reason or other
they are keeping the truth back, but all his
friends and even the simple farmers about
Bar Harbor say: ''He is not going to get
well.n

The Minnie and Robert Libel Suit.

WASHINGTON, July THE decision in
Judge Ross court yesterday dismissing the
libel against the schooner Robert and
Minnie, which vessel supplied the arms to
the Itata, was a great surprise to officials
here. 1t was generally believed the case
was much stronger than which could be
made out against the Itata, and notwlth-
standing the reservation made by Judge
Ross in his decision, it is felt his action
will cause failure of the original libel
lodged against the Gillian vessel although
she may still be held on some technical
charge connected with her escape while
under legal detention. This outcome will
be severe disappointment to the state and
naval department officials after an expendi-
ture, direct and Indirect in the chase of the
Itata, estimated to run closely in the neigh
borhood of 100000.
A telegram was received at the depart
ment OF justice to day from United States
Marshal Gard, of San Diego, Cal, asking
instructions as to his course in regard TO
the Itata. In response the acting attorney
general telegraphed United States At
torney Cole at San Diego to libel the vessel
at once and turn her over TO the United
States marshal by due process OF law, by
sdecial arrangement with the navy depart
ment The vessel will be transferred to
the custody of the civil authorities to-day.

army in this city against the wishes Of her
relatives caused much comment some time
ago, to-day filed bill against her brother
in-law, w. H. Stubbins, charging him with
defrauding her of her inheritance Of
SIC. 900, and demanding an accounting.
Stubbins, she explains, was the trusted
financier of her family, but she asserts ne
bas abused the confidence reposed IN him,
and that his pretended efforts TO shield her
fortune from being di5slpated is a scheme
for his own benefit. Mrs. Durham is .
daughter of Peter johnson, well-known
resident Of Chicago, but since her Salvation
army experience began, she has married
and now lives in California
William Forsythe of California, whose
appointment as chief of the Worlds fair
horticultural department Is pending, sp-
peared before the committee on agriculture
no-day. The committee went over various
unpleasant charges made against Forsyth
by enemies in California He answered
the accusations by demanding documentary
evidence to prove their falslty, and the
committee took the matter under advise
ment. 1t is believed here now that For
sythe will be confirmed. All of the opposi-
ton comes from California, anu the direo-
tor general said tonight if the nomination
is defeated he will not be likely to choose
another Californian, because Of the fac
tional bitterness that seems to have been
aroused.
