- "People are dying of starvation all
through the Interior," laid General
Stone. "In tbe district of Agnaa
Banal there were many deaths. Tbe
judge in tbe district of Comerlo ahowed
me a book In which he ha4 recorded
the names of many who died for , lack
of. food. General Grant reported 88
deaths from itarvation in one district
