coffee, sugar, corn, beans, etc, con-
stituted the principal staples repre-
sented. Some clothes were donated
also The supplies were packed in
boxes at the station to be transport
ed to MatamOros In addition to the
groceries that were sent over Satur-
dav afternoon, which were puTch
ased with the $50 collected Friday
by the committee of gentlemen as
reported Saturday, Louis CObOlini,
the big-hearted fish packer, sent to
United States Consul Miller at Mat
moros then barrels containing
about $50 pounds of fish for distri-
button among the flood victims. The
consequence was that yesterday
many families who haven't known
the taste of salt water fish in years
had it on their bill of fare and
doubtless many an Ave Maria was
said for the ''muy buen hOmbre"
who furnished the feast
In addition to the 500 Mexican

to $3.50, Mexican.
Situation Is Still Very Bad.
Several visitors from Brownsville
to Matamoros yesterday afternoon
went through the flooded district
in a carriage. driving through street
after street in water up to the hubs
OF the wheels They describe the
situation as very bad The water
is sill surrounding nearly hun
dred homes and many of the inhab-
itants are suffering, actually desti-
tute. Many are living in their
homes surrounded by water knee
deep. and women and children, were
wading through the streets in water
that deep. The water is already
covered with green scum and 6e@cln-
ing foul and stagnant-
An effort is being made by the
army engineers under Gen Nlllar,
to drain the flooded area, but the
only way to do so is said to be by
digging deep ditch several miles
long.
It is feared that much sickness
will result unless the water can be
drained or oiled very quickly, as
MOSQUITOES are already becoming
very bad.
