Sepf. 11. 4 P m —To-day supplies began to arrive, but #o meagre urt the facilities that the amount Wit really pitiable Many people are hungry here now. They have had something to eat probably because etarvetlon Is not yet a fact. l*i the food was unattlsfoctory. tt gives no nourishment; It Is soaked with water and provisions that have been treated to a bath’arr not very palatable. The stuff that got In came from Hous ton In a steamer, but there are many to feed that It did not go far. The pro visions that came were heartily welcom ed. A crowd qub-kly gathered and they wete distributed In a short time. Many hurried away with what they got to their families; others got cooked food and- ate It where they were. The situation does not look so bsd now that relief ba* actually come and more i is on the way. but la meant to be said that further relief la not needed.

The provision* that are still In the wholesale and retail groceries have been searched out and there la quite a quan tity of good stuff among It. As for cloth ing. many have the money to buy. and those who have not are being given their necessaries by the relief committee; but more c!o:hlng 1* necesaary and especial ly women's and children's; these are the principal sufferer* now. The pople who cam* aeroß# brought the Infoimatlon that there Is a train-load of stuff at Texas City waiting to be brought across, but this will be a weari some Job. probably, though every avail able boat that can stand the trip will be requisitioned to go after It.

The dead who have no relatives are treated with scant cour tesy; there ! no time for ceremony ais I they are put Into the sand of the beach or Into the gulf, with no prayer unless someone of the burying party mutters one as he does his work.

There Is yet no accurate estimate of the dead, there Is no way In which the number ear. be estimated, for many of the bodies nave flouted away. The only way to get at the missing Is lo take another census here. The spirit of ex ague rat ton Is here and each man odds a few to the number of the man last talked to him. though drowned.
