GALVESTON HORROR GROWS 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 ing of the electric light plant and the 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. NEW PAPE It FOB ATLAXTA.
