MANY MORE LIVES LOST.

Days. Fall Exhausted.

| st. Louis, Mo-, July Ga special to
the Post Dispatch from Dallas. Texas.
says:
| At II o'clock today, short dispatch
was received from lineman at Dewey
| just across the Brazos river from Sea-
| ley. 1t read:
River slowly falling, since o'clock
afternoon. Conditions here terrible.
Everything in country swept away.
Large number lives lost in bottoms.
Looks like starvation for those left.
Situation not been exaggerated. Sew
eral days before line repairs be made
with anything like system" A
Deputy Sheriff Wearinger at Sealey
telephoned at noon:
There is no improvement in this Sec
ton. If anything the situation Is
growing worse. Sealey and neighbOr-
ing towns have about exhausted their
resources. Another negro family was
drowned near here, today. Several
other lives have been lost since last
night, especially among the refugees
on the mound near Old San Fillipe.
A number of negroes have fallen ex-
hausted from tree tops after hanging
three days and nights, and drowned.
A rumor is current here of great loss
of life near Richmond, Fort Bend
county. AS we are cut off from all
that section definite information is un-
obtainable, but the situation naturally
must be as bad as here.

~ Grows More Serious.

patch, Wednesday night, from Calves
| ton:
All information shows appalling con-
ditions from flood. with continuous rise
and spread of waters until probably
$4,000 square miles are under water
south of Calvert. Relief should be i'm
mediate and 1 fear on a more extensive
scale than private subscriptions, no
matter how generous, provide. Under
the circumstances L deem it expedient
to make the situation known to the
secretary of war and ask that relief
boats now in Galveston be per-
mitted to ascend the river and at points
| inaccessible to us in their launch and
yawl boats and at the same time ar
range for the distribution of 10000 ra-
| tions. If you concur I have the honor
to suggest that you wire the secretary
of war accordingly. l await your ac-
ton and will join if desired in any
course you take.
(Signed) r. B. HAWLEY.
The following was Immediately sent
in reply:
Austin, Texas, July 5.
r. 3. Hawley, Galveston. Texas:
Have wired secretary of war as sug-
gested. Will be glad to have your CO.
operation.
JOS. D. SAVERS,

Subsequently the following was
wired:
Austin, Texas, July 5.
The Secretary Of War, Washington:
Please Immediately order by wire
boats at Galveston to ascend rivers.
using launches and yawlS to rescue
people from the water. which are wide
spread over the lands of the lower
Brazos. Please also order commanding
officer at San Antonio to place at my
disposal 10000 rations. Will recon-
mend the Legislature to refund to the
United States their value when 1t next
meets and do not doubt that it will be
promptly done. Devastation great.
Immense loss of life probable. Prompt
action very important. Answer.
(Signed) JOSEPH d. SAVERS.
Governor.
News received here by Gov. Sayers
from the flooded territory along the
Brazos river indicates a distressing
condition of affairs. In addition to APP
peals already received for aid, one
came from Fulshear. Texas, yesterday,
reading: thousands starving; i'm
mediate aid wanted"
From other sections of the flooded
district south of Hearne and between
there and the mouth of the BRACES, ap-
peals for aid are coming in. Every re-
port is that the people are entirely be-
reft of their homes food and clothing.
The larger cities of the state are re-
spending literally to the call for aid
and are confident that they can look
after the afflicted districts.
