Details of Fearful Calamity Given
The Outside World.
NEWS NOT EXAGGERATED
On the Contrary, No Pen Can
Depict or Language Describe
the Awfulness of the Situa
tion—lt Is Simply Un
paralleled.
A special of Monday from Houston,
Texas, says: The first reports of the
appalling disaster which has stricken
the city of Galveston do not seem to
have been magnified. Communication
was had with tho island city Monday
by boats and reports received indicate
that the death list will exceed
1,500, while the property loss cannot
be estimated, although it is known it
will reach several million dollars.
A mass meeting was held ia Hous
ton and liberal contributions were
made for the immediate relief of the
destitute. Governor Sayers appealed
to President McKinley for aid. This
appeal was met with by a prompt re
sponse from the president, who stated
that 10,000 tents and 50,000 rations
had been ordered to Galveston. Gov
ernor Sayers also addressed an appeal
to each municipality in the state, ask
ing for prompt assistance in caring for
the sufferers.
Telegrams of inquiry and sympathy
poured in throughout the day and
night from every state in the union,
and in almost every instance substan
tial relief has been offered.
Reports from the interior confirm
the loss of life and destruction of
property reported in previous dis
patches.
cobbespondent’s stoby of disasteb.
Richard Spillane, a well known
Galveston newspaper man and day cor
respondent of the Associated Press in
that city, who reached Houston Mon
day after a terrible experience, gives
the following account of the disaster
at Galveston:
“One of the most awful tragedies of
modern times has visited Galveston.
The city is in ruins and the dead will
number probably 1,000. I am just
from the city, having been commis
sioned by the mayor and citizens’ com
mittee to get in touch with the outside
world and appeal for help.
“Houston was the nearest point at
which working telegraph instruments
could be found, the wires, as well as
nearly all the buildings between here
and the gulf of Mexico being wrecked.
When I left Galveston shortly before
noon yesterday (Sunday) the people
were organizing for the prompt burial
of the dead, distribution of food and
all tho necessary work after a period
of disaster. Tlib wreck of Galveston
was brought about by a tempest so
terrible that no words can adequately
describe its intensity, and by a flood
which turned the city into a raging
sea.
“The weathor bureau records show
that the wind attained a velocity of
eighty-four miles an hour when the
measuring instrument blew away, so
it is impossible to tell w hat was the
maximum. The storm began at 2
o’clock Saturday morning. Previous
to that a great storm bad been raging
in the gulf and the tide was very high.
The wind at first came from the north
and was in direct opposition to the
force from the gulf. While the storm
in the gulf piled the water up on the
beach Bide of the city, the north wind
piled the water from the bay on to the
bay part of the city. ,
“About noon it became evident that
the city was going to be visited with
disaster. Hundreds of l’esidences along
the beach front were hurriedly aban
doned, the families fleeing to dwell
ings in higher portions of the city.
Every home was opened to the refu
gees, black and white. The wind was
rising constantly and it rained in tor
rents. By 3 o’clock the waters of the
bay and gulf met and by dark the en
tire city was submerged. The flood

EX-CITY TREASURER SHORT.
Experts Finish Examination of Books of
City Official of Brunswick, Ga.
After four weeks of public suspense,
during which time the books of Ex-
City Treasurer H. H. Harvey at Bruns
wick, Ga., have been gone over by
expert accountants with the object of
discovering alleged discrepances, the
announcement is now made that Har
vey is short $21,600.
Martial Law a Necessity.
Information leaks ont that the hor
rors of vandalism and general looting
have been started by the vicious and
criminal element at Galveston, It is
expected that the city will be placed
under martial law.
gas plant companies’ factories loft the
city in darkness.
“To go upon the streets was to court
death. The wind was then at cyclonic
height—roofs, cisterns, portions of
buildings, telegraph poles and walls
were falling and the noise of the wind
and the crashing from the buildings
were terrifying in the extreme.
“The wind and the waters rose
steadily from dark until 1.45 o’clock
Sunday morning, During all this time
the people of Galveston were like rats
in traps. The highest portion uf the
city was four to five feet under water,
while In the great majority of cases
the streets wore submerged to a depth
of ten feet. To leave a house was to
drown. To remain was to court death
in the wreckage.
“Such a night of agony was possi
bly never equaled by people in mod
ern times. Without apparent reason,
the waters suddenly began to sudside
at 1:45 a. m. Within twenty minutes
they had gone down two feet, and be
fore daylight the streets were practi
cally freed of the flood waters. In the
meantime the wind had veered to the
southeast. Very few, if any, build
ings escaped injury.
“When the people who had escaped
death went out at daylight to view the
work of the tempest and the floods
they saw the most horrible sights im
aginable.
“The whole of the beach front for
three blocks in from the gulf was
stripped of every vestige of habita
tion, tho great bathing establishments,
the Olympia and every structure hav
ing been either carried out to sea or
its ruins piled in pyramid far into the
town, according to the vagaries of the
tempest.
“The bay front from end to end is in
ruins. Nothing but piling and the
wreckage of the great warehouses re
main. The shore at Texas City, fourteen
miles away, contaius enough wreckage
to rebuild a city. Eight persons who
were swept across the bay during the
storm were picked up Ai onday morn
ing.”
Another account of the disaster says:
The most appalling calamity in the
history of modern times has befallen
Galveston. Everywhere there is death
and ruin and desolation. A great com
mercial city is stricken with misfor
tune and her people appeal to the out
side world for help.
Estimates of the loss of life in the
city vary from 600 to 1,000. It is
thought 2,500 people in the state have
lost their lives. Parents mourn their
children and children are made or
phans by the terrible hurricane which
swept all of south Texas Saturday and
Saturday night.
The damage to business and resi
dence property is beyond computation.
The city is almost ruined. The wharf
front is entirely gone. Every ocean
steamer is stranded. The flue steamer
Alamo lies upon the top of the Mallory
wharf, and a big English cotton laden
steamer was driven ashore at Texas
City. Other vessels are aground in
different parts of the bay, some hope
lessly wrecked.
No pen can depict or language ade
quately describe the awfulness of tho
situation. It is simply immense, un
paralleled, and even those who went
through the experience of the storm
and survived are so dazed they can
hardly realize the enormity of the loss.
Debris is everywhere. Electric light
and telegraph poles are nearly all pros
trated and the streets are littered with
timbers, slate, glass and every con
ceivable character of debris.
Starting as soon as the water began
to recede the work of rescuing the
wounded and dying from the ruins of
their homes began. The scenes that
were presented beggared description.
Screaming women, bruised and bleed
ing, some of them bearing the lifeless
forms of children in their arms, men
broken and sobbing, bewailing the
loss of their wives and children; streets
filled with floating rubbish, among
which there were many bodies of the
victims of the storm constituted part
of the scene. In every direction as
far as the eye could reach the scene of
desolation and destruction continued.
