Relief Work in the Delugcd District
Has RecM Mystemnt.zrh.

Galveston, Tex, July 9.-Relief work
in the Brasos flooded district has been
systematized three relief trains leaving
Houston, Galveston and San Antonio
daily. Probably 10000 negroes are now
being fed and will need to be sustained
for some time by the relief committees.
All sorts of estimates are made as to the
amount OF the cotton loss. An estimate
of so per cent. is considered Conserva-
tive. This would be a money loss of S5,-
100000. The loss sustained by the de-
struction of other crops houses, fencing,
stock and bridges will be S2,500,0 000 while
the loss to the railroads is probably ST.
600, 900, making a total of $500, 600. Ow-
ing to the exaggerated reports circu-
lated as to the loss of life in the
recent flood the News has made
snecial effort to secure the facts from
each county Reports received from
thirteen counties show a loss of thirty
seven lives from drowning. Reports
from Sealey state that a white woman
and a negro woman died there to-day
from the heat and exposure. There are
five hundred negroes at Sealey at the
point of starvation. Rations will be
sent by the first train At Hearne
