THREE QUARTERS OF
. A1 ILUON STARVING
WASHINGTON, Mar. 15. That
the only saleable property remalnlug
to the Btarvlng people In the Chinese
counties of Nanusuchow and Meug
chen are, their children, which are
being exchanged for" food, is the
statement of Consul Wilder, in a re
port to the state department froiu
Nanking, China. In there two coun
ties alone, he estimates the number
of starving at three quarters of n
million.
Outside of the city of Nanking
100,000 famine refugees are without
food or clothing and are sleeping in
the mud In the open air. Thousands1
are even lying in the water, the liv
ing mingling with the corpses of the
dead which the authorities have fail
ed to remove from the refugee
camps.
In the famine districts the people
are dying so rapidly that no attempt
Is made to number the fatalities. By
Imperial edict taxes have been re
mitted In three of the famine dis
tricts, and it Is expected that similar
action will be taken throughout the
e..tire famine region.
Consul VHder reports that the
money contributed for famine relief
Is being honestly expended. The
American Red Cross and the state
department are co-operating In send
ing the money contributed In the
United States to China, but much
more is needed.

"The way to get people Into the

Hill of the Great Northern has done
for Oregon by completely equipping a

Oregon la bound to gain from this

AMRRICANS MASSACRED.
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Mar. 15. The
American . commander . of the 26
leUcb that joined Blanco's forces at
Cinezas Springs says he came direct
from Casas Grandes, Chihuahua and
was present at the battle there. Vie
snys Maduro gained a final victory,
that Madero's brother wu3 wounded
slightly in the wrist, but that Ma
dcro was not injured.
Me states further that the federals
turned a cannon and machine guns)
on four houses occupied by American I
families., where American non-com-j
batants had taken- refuge, and bom- i
barded these until the occupants
were killed.
There were only seven American
fightins men in the ranks taken
jji-isouer, he says, the others escaping
and later rejoining Madero's forces.
Madero took the city, gathered ap
nil supplies and marched out. Th?
prisoners captured by the federals
during the first day's fight were com
pelled to gather up i.nd bury the
dead, numbering 192, of which all
were federals excepting 42. '
ro means of confirming this man's
account is available here.
It is now certain that Blanco is
utfiiir in conjunction with Madero.
General Blanco, the rebel leader,
by delaying too long his final attack
on Agna Prieta has apparently losi
his opportunity. The Mexican gov
ernment, by a clever ruse In allow
ing the capture of supposed official
mail, deceived the Insurrecto chief
tain into delay, enabling the federal
reinforcements from Nacozarl to
reach the city and Join the beleaguer
ed garrison here.
Both Surgeon Stallman, of ihe
Third United States cavalry, and civ
ilian surgeons In Douglas tendered
their services to the Mexican authori
ties in Agua Prieta, offering to furn
ish supplies and instruments as well
as to care for those wounded In the
engagement Sunday. These number
seven, including two lieutenant?.
The Mexican medical attendant is rot
a surgeon, nor has he any instru
ments nor hospital supplies. Tlie
wounded men are lying on boards In
the shacks at the bull ring or on the
good working field and the interested
class seemed to be listed among the
best people.
New Albany, Ind. Nothing so far
equals the attendance to the Oregoi
car such as we had at New Albany.
Starting early in the morning we had
a steady crowd of visitors for the two
days. On the evening of the second
day we passed through the car not
less than 1,500 people between 7:00
and 9:00 p. m. It was necessary to do
this, as we left at 9:30 p. m. 1 would
estimate the attendance during loth
days at no less than 9,000 people.
Franklin, ln,d. Enthusiasm and in
terest Fhown here set a new mark for
the Oregon Car. We had fully 4.000
visitors Htid the hall In the evening
was tilled to overflowlnit. I have
never experienced quite siuh an en

at our lecture. After the lecture we
were kept busy forsome time eivine per
