Thousands of Deaths.
The Indians resort to Cannibalism
[better's TELEGRAMS —COPYRIGHT ]
New York, July 28
Intelligence is to hand from Labrador that intensely severe weather has latelybeen experienced there, 3000 Indians and Esquimaux having perished from hunger and cold. An immense snow block occurred in a thickly populated part of the Peninsula. Ten thousand Indians are, it is feared, cut off from assistance, and must also perish. Later accounts from Labrador show that the Indians have been reduced to such straits that they have been compelled to eat the dead.
