Bangor, Me.-A fishing vessel that
arrived In Portland from Cundy's Har-
Dor brought a story Of suffering and
privation among the half.breed negroes
who inhabit Malaga Island. at the

Of support.
The captain of the fishing vessel
urged that q doctor be sent to the Isl.
and and that food and medicines be
sent quickly. lest the sixty men. women
and children perish. Some Of the tsh-
ermen who called at the island harbor
lately thought that smallpox was rag

The men who discovered the condi.

there and found In every one the same
terrible conditions. The fishermen dis

On the following day the Cundys

Island a washboiler full Of hot soup.
which they distributed to all who were
able to eat. They found one old man
who said that he had eaten nothing In
five days, and another who had been
rendered speechless by his sickness.
In one Of these huts they found four
old women so weak from hunger and
illness that they were unable to move
and scarcely able to speak. These
would have perished In another day.
