New YORK, Sept. 20.

A Tribune special from Galveston
says that the city shows little signs of
storm in the business quarter, and
the wharves are safe. The greatest
depth of water in the city was over four
feet. The storm was the severest in
the eastern end of the Island, and all
the houses were destroyed or nearly
so. The Ocean House is gone, and the
city cotton presses are destroyed, and
also the factory or nearly so. The
street car tracks were torn up and sew
eral cars, together with the car build
ings were demolished. The water is
now subsiding. The destruction of life
in the city cannot be estimated, but
there are not over dozen lost. The
damage to shipping is slight, and the
storm was the severest ever known
here. A number of wrecks is reported
on the Island coast, but nothing definite
is known. The total damage in the

The Herald this morning says that
within few days serious disease has
broken out among the horses in many
public and private stables in the city.
1t resembled in nature the famous cpl
zootic, and it is calculated that over
1000 horses are suffering from the dis
ease in the city. The disease is the
most prevalent among the horses of the
street car companies. and unless a
speedy and favorable change comes, it
is feared it will become serious.
Miss Clara Morris. the actress, ar
rived from Europe yesterday on the
steamer Celtic. Her health is some
what improved, and it IS believed that
she will be able to fill her fall engage
ments. The play of "Our Boys" the
production of which was decided in
favor of Daley, was produced at the
Fifth Avenue Theatre Saturday night.
The press speak favorably of the mer-
its of the play.
The steamer City of San Francisco,
and also Big Bonanza, will sail to-mor-
row via straits of Magellen.
The weather here this morning is
clear and quite chilly. The autumnal
equinox, when day and night are equal,
occurred to-day, and from this time to
the middle of October is the season for
equinoctial storms. 1t is expected that
fearful gales on land and sea will be
reported. The cyclone began on the
southern coast of Cuba, and has already
started and reached Galveston, and the
signal Office here reports the rowing of
it in the northwest direction. 1t will
pursue that course producing heavy
easterly gales on the east Atlantic coast,
and finally get lost on the northern
coast of the Atlantic Ocean, or may
reach the coast of Great Britain, and
cause damage among the shippers.
