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.”
