SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Oct. 3.-Hofrer
Finlay, formerly well-known citizen
of San Antonio, bn: who for the past
six years has been engaged in the mer-
camille business in the city Of Mo.lia,
Mexico, arrived here sunday and gave
vivid account of the famine riot
which occurred in that city last
Sunday, and of which but very
brief mention was made in the CITY Of
Mexico newspapers. lie says that il
was one of the most exciting and pitia-
bic scenes ever witnessed in the repub-
lie, and that another serious outbreal,
of the same kind IS threatened at any
time.
Morila is the capital state of Mich
oacan and the residence of the arch
bishop Of the diocese. II is one of
the most beautiful cities in southern
Mexico, but Notwithstanding all of its
attractions its several thousand poor
people are on the verge Of starvation,
owing 10 the total failure of the crops
for the last four seasons and d scarcity
of all food supplies. Mr.. Finlay said:
when the famine was threatened several
months ago several of the wealthy mer.
chants Of Moria contracted for large guam
titles OF corn in the Uniiec States, the total
shipments amounting 10 75.0D bushels,
which Is enough TO have supplied the suf-
fering people These spectators, however,
put up the prices and extorted what
hltle money the poor people had in. short
time. For the past two months the suffering
among the poor has been Intense and many
deaths have occurred. The streets became
thronged with beggars and the hungry men,
women and children made heartrcndng APP
peal for help.
This was kept up until last Sunday, when
tue starving horde org .nized themselves into a
mob and driven by desperation began concert
ed attack upon the food stores of the city There
were fully 5000 scope in the mob and
the police were utterly powerless 10 stop its
progress. One maiceria, or feed store, was
entered and but little eoru was found The
frenzy OF the mob increased The two regi-
ments Of federal cavalry and one OF infantry
stationed al Morlh were called out 10 queil the
riot but their appearance only addel To the
desperation OF the starving people The com
nander planted the soldiers in front Of the mob,
but they fought thor way through. Several
persons were injured
Gen Mercade tn governor Of the state by
this time had made his appearance and came
near falling victim 70 the vengeance OF
the mob who claimed that he should have
taken steps to relieve their suffering. The
soldiers opened fire upon the people and one
man was killed ana several wounded Acting
on command OF its eader the mob started for
the grainaries OF joseph Martinez, in which ~
900 bushels Of corn were stored They broke
down the doors and supplied themselves with
al they could carr away. AS soon as their

of going up in balloon and dropping
from a parachute is so old here that
something new had to be devised The
men went up in a balloon, hanging on
TO trapeze bar, on which they per-

was blowing hard. They drifted
fully a mile and alighted in a clump OF
trees As soon rs the balloon struck

they were dashed to the ground.
Neither of them is 80 years of age. Last
sunday they attempted a similar feat
and the wind blew them into the lake.
They were taken out half drowned.
