Corpus Christi, Texas, Dec. 15.— Malarial fever and starvation is causing more deaths in the Northern part of the 9tate of Sinaloa, Mexico, than was due to the plague when it ravaged that territory some time ago. Sinaloa is in Northwestern Mexico, on the Gulf of California. A correspondent from Myrador says: ‘‘Malaria and starvation continue to devastate that part of Mexico. The outside world has no concep tion of conditions that now exist. The corn crop is a total failure and for months food has been scarce, but the supply is now practically exhausted. More than half of the population is down with malarial fever of the most malignant type. Children are crying to their sick and starving fathers and mothers for food and dying of hunger be fore their parents’ eyes.” $2.00 P er Y ear COQUILLE.
