"On the west coast the inhabitants are

In Mexico City the situation is very
grave. and the shortage in all cereals is
felt intensely. As early as March, 10000
persons were reported suffering from
hunger. Conditions have grown steadily
worse and many are starving. Mules,
horses and oxen have been killed or ex-
ported. as there Is nothing to feed them.
At one place when a mule died from star
walton the people fell upon the carcass
for food. For the food supplies that re-
main fabulous prices have been reached,

This statement was given out by Red
Cross headquarters here last night:
AT Monterey several thousand per-
sons are fed daily. Many refined fam
lilies apply at night for aid. The farm
ers from the surroundig country are
coming to the city to buy corn to feed
their workmen and families. but cannot
obtain it. Multitudes are on the verge
OF starvation. At Durango the govern
ments efforts to keep down the price
of food supplies failed, as buyers from
Monterey and Torreon. where famine
prevails, are willing to pay any price.
Food supplies are becoming so scarce
and the cost so high that the poorer
classes are unable to buy and are in Q
deplorable condition. At Tampico all
food is about exhausted. There is no
flour and very little corn.
Condition. Are Appalling.
THE conditions in outlying districts
are still worse. and tales of the starva-
ton of tho poor poems are constantly
coming into the city. At Vera Cruz
and in the surrounding country famine
conditions prevail. At Jalapa, the capt.
tai OF the State of Vera Cruz, the gem
eral condition of the town Is appalling.
Money was raised by the chamber of
commerce to relieve the distress. and
corn was imported. out tne IunQS were
soon exhausted. The local civil authori-
ties then took up the matter. with little
success. The day that no car arrives
the town goes hungry.
Most distressing scenes took place at
the municipal hall when these rations
were distributed. Some 900 women were
collected at in the morning to get
in line for the distribution which be-
gan at II. and standing in the sun so
long unable to move for fear of losing
their places and their chance for a mere
handful of corn resulted in many cases
in fainting from exhaustion. some We're
Injured, and on several occasions ono or
two have been killed. A woman carry
ing baby a month or two old was seen
staggering out of the line and sinking
to the ground. The women ahead of her
called to the men selling the corn, waiv-
ing their rights in her favor, but she re-
ceived no attention. Many. after waiting
for hours. went home crying. for the
supply ran out. Summing up the case. 1t
