Théy report having lost one thousand persons by starvation and oth- er vrivations. in a Critical Condition Sean Hennessy, Aged 19, is Unconscious—Ten Others Hardly Able to Articulate. Cork, Sept. 12—Seven of the eleven hunger strikers in Cork jail appeared today to be in a critical condition. They are Sean Hennessy, ‘the nineteen-year- old youth, Joseph Murphy, whose status as an American is being investigated, Thomas Donovan, Michael Burke, Up- ton, Power and Kenny. Hennessy still was unconscious today, and the others were so weak that they were hardly able to articulate. Murphy has a troublesome cough, which he re- fuses to permit the doctors or nuns to treat. ’ The correspondent of the Associated Press again was permitted this morning to enter the jail and talk with the gov- ernment's physician. He found that the physicians _themselves were suffering from the effects of a severe strain. Also, he learned that four nunms who, in pairs, are on duty day and night, and the prison chaplain are on the point of a breakdown due to their unceasing vig- ils at the bedside of the hunger strikers. Dr. Pearson, it was learned, had had no sleep for forty-eight hours. The physicians today confirmed that John Hennessy, father of young Hen- nessy, had altered his decision to permit the nuns to endeavor to keep his son alive. His change of mind came short- Iy after he had granted permission to allow the nuns to use the means sug- gested by the physicians. It appears that young Hennessy regained conscious- ness for a short interval directly after the father had reluctantly consented to the plea of Harold Barry, former high sheriff of Cork and that the old man was fearful of being put in the attitude technically of disregarding his boy's last conscious injunction. Mr. Hennessy had placed the greatest hopes in the efforts Barry was making to obtain his son's release, and last evening, when a re- prieve was not forthcoming, he became hysterical. The prison doctors are treat- ing_him. “How much longer can they last?’ the correspondent asked of the physi- cians today. Both of them shook their heads. “What is the attitude of the prison- ers?” was then asked of them. “They will to die,” answered Dr. Bat- tiscombe. “This is due perhaps to the extremt exhaustion of their physical forces. 1 think they feel that death would relieve them.” “Suppose they were released?” “There is no doubt in my mind,” re- plied Dr. Battiscombe, “that the psych- ological effect on them of their release would be great” The doctors went on "o say that they were not aware of any medical record of death through a di- Irect hunger strike. They asserted that from the professional viewpoint these cases would be of great interest, were the doctors permitted to make a free observation of the patients and if they couid make a satisfactory daily record f their condition. The doctors recalled the fact that an Irish political prisoner, Thomas Ashe, vho was on a hunger strike in Mount- oy prison, Dublin, in- 1917, died sev- eral days after he was released. but that his death was attributed to the ef- fects of forcible feeding. It was learned today that early last Thursday morning 6he of the prison doctors in making his rounds went up to the bedside of Thomas Donovan. The nun in attendance was momentarily ab- sent and no one else was present at the bedside. The doctor head the patient feebly muttering and leaned down and examined him. Donovan appeared to be conscious, but he was too weak to talk aloud. The doctor could just cateh the words, ““Hope-pray-Pope-message.” The words were incomprehensible to the | physican and worried him greatly. He finally concluded, however, that the pa- tient desired the Pope to send him a message of spiritual consolation for the dying. MACSWINEY'S CONDITION PRACTICALLY UM NCHANGED London, Sept. 12.—Mrs. MacSwiney, when she left Brixton prison early evening, after visiting her husband, told the correspondents that the lord mayor's condition was practically unchanged since the afternoon and that he was still suf- fering severe pains. Members of the family were at the bedside all day, and a number of visitors from Cork called at the prison, but only a few of them were admitted. Mrs. F. Sheehy Skeffington, whose hus- band was executed at Dublin, talked Wwith some of the relatives within the prison, but did not see the lord mayor. Ten thousand persons participated m a demonstration in Glasgow this after- noon in protest against MacSwiney’s im- prisonment. A similar gathering was held at Bermondsey. TO HASTEN REIVEW OF CASE AGAINST HENNESSY Cork, Sept. 12.—Harold Barry, former high sheriff of Cork, who has been striving to save the lives of some of the hunger stgikers here, received a mess- aeg from the Irish office London, late today, asking him to meet immediately with the heads of the police in Cork for {he purpose of reviewing the gov- ernment’s case against® Sean Hennessy and Joseph Murphy, the latter claiming Americna._citizenship, and any others in connection with new evidence which may be_produced. Barry is now scouring the clty for a young friend of Hennessy, who has asserted he can prove a complete alibi for the dying hunger striker. Barry says he hopes to secure the release of Hennesy and perhaps the release of several other prisoners tonight if wit- nuesses are found. D’ANNUNZIO TO CONDITIONALLY RELEASE AMERICAN STEAMER London, Sept. 12.—A Fiume dispatch reecived in Rome says that Gabriele D'Annunzio has informed the Italian government that he will release the American steamer Cogne on condition that a loan of 200,000,000 lire is grant- ed to Fiume says a dispatch to the Central News from Rome.

MEXICO OIL RESERVOIR OF WESTERN HEMISPHERE Washington, Sept. 12.—Mexico prom- ises to become the oil reservoir of the western hemisphere, the department of ommerce declared today in a review of he petroleum industry in the southern republic. With increased consumption in the United States likely to exhaust pro- Jucing fields in this countury within twgnty or twenty-five vears, Mexico, the statement said, “offcrs the most eneour- agement to the American oil industry, for 'ooth present production and geographical situation.” 7 Exhaustion of 40 per cent. of the pro- ducing flelds of the United States, the de- partment’s review stated, has caused Mexico to take second place in oil pro- ‘luction, although only about 12 per cent. of the potential capacity of Mexican wells Is being actually produced. Development of the Mexican oil felds. however, is only in its infancy, the review ates, adding that of the 231.250 square j miles of territory believed to contain oil deposits not more than 800 square miles ire being exploited. Curtailment of pro- duction is ascribed by the department to iack of transportation and storage facili- ties and to the unsettled political situa- tion Of the $350,000,000 estimated to be in- vested in the Mexican oil industry, in- cluding $50.000.000 in tankers, about 70 per cent. représents American capital, the review savs, about 27 per cent. is British and Dutch capital and 3 per cent.
