Condition in Zapata County.

A telegram was received by the
editor OF THE HERALD today from
leading northern paper, asking
"Are reports Of suffering from
famine aud thirst in Texas border
r"nRties in your Sc: tion exaggerat-
sdf"
The truth of the matter is that
much want really exists in Zapata
county aud also IN portion of
Starr county. There have been no
rpporis OF suffering in any other
border counties. Il is probable
that exaggerated reports have been
srut 10 northern papers, although
there is undoubtedly need of aid
in the counties named, and probah.
~ eight hundred or thousand
persons may be suffering from
hanger. The HERALD's Rio Gran
de correspondent is Of the opinion
that aid is actually perded. AS to
reports of sl-n'h from hunger. they
are not confirmed, though il j.
probable THAT disease has killed
somF who were 50 weakened from
i6suficient food Ms TO be unable TO
resist il.
Sill il would seem that the state
OF Texas, as the San Antonio TX
press suggests, shonld be amply
able to provide for the wants Of
