at Hughesfoka. In their frenzy tn
workmen destroyed factories an
J shops with no thought that upo
these places they depended for IL,
, ing. Now there is great distress
the town and hundred of inhabitanl
are on the verge of starvation. The
have been compelled by hunger to 81
all manner of refuse with the resu
that cholera is now raging anon
them worse than before. The diseai
is causing such ravages that all worl
men, who are able to do so, are lea'
ing the place. Hughesfoka Is a tow
, on the sea of Aku. IL is the seat
extensive iron works, golfers and rol
ing mills.
