APPEAL FOR MONTEREY.

United States Consul f1snna at Monterey mas
notified the state department at Washington tnat
the people in the two northern states of the Mexican
republic who suffered the loss of about all their
earthly possessions in the floods of little more
than month ago absolutely destitute anu III
need of immediate assistance. He closes his dls-
patch by saying: II hope and pray and beg that
our people act, and act promptly"
Consul Hanna suggests that no perishable goods
be sent Besides blankets, which are needed TO
protect the sheteress people from the cold he rec
ommends that shelled corn rice, beans, plain cloth
ing, shoes, bedding and cooking utensils be made
the principal supplies Charitable societies and
churches are appealed to to come to the relief OF
our sister republic, and Consul Hanna says that
express companies will forward all supplies free
of charge.
The descriptions of the devastation wrought by
the food are appalling in their immensely. Many
thousands of people have been left not only home
less but with absolutely nothing hand either to
eat wear, and no place to lay their weary heads
There was an appalling list of dead, and none
tary loss estimated to reach $30,000,000 The
losses were of such magnitude that the survivors
were less stupefied. And the country was
so badly wrecked that it would have been impossi-
bic for them to help themselves if they
minded. Though the Mexican government and peo-
pie have responded literally to the calls for help
from Monterey, nevertheless, the appeal of Consul
Hanna should meet with a ready and hearty re-
sponse There can be no doubt that the object for
which the appeal is made is most worthy
