THOUSANDS STARVING.
The Situation In Texas Seems as Bad
as Ever.
MORE GASES OF DROWNING.
General Superintendent Bessegue of
the Santa Fee Railroad Returns
From Flooded Country and
Tells What He Saw.

Galveston. July s.-Never in the histo
~ Of Richmond, Tex, were such scenes
witnessed as are depicted now. Business
Is practically suspended. Many planta-
lions are under water. All trains save
those on the Southern Pacific west have
been abandoned. Provisions are running
low, and unless something is done quick
" there will be great suffering there with
IN few days.
1t Is believed there will be at the very
least from 5000 to 5000 persons to feed
In Richmond within week Stories of
drowning and disasters are coming In
constantly, but they cannot be verified,
although it Is probable that many Of them
are correct. The water has reached the
river bridge and is dasring between the
iron guy rods under it, and for the first
time the railroad company has stopped
all traffic over it.
The special Santa Fe which left here
for Thompson and Arcola has returned,
with the officials of the road aboard.
They had left the rescuers to do their
work, which was progressing exception
ally well. General Superintendent Bes
segue made very favorable report on
the situation and seemed to believe that
the people were not suffering.
An Optimistic View.
II am of the opinion" he said there
have been no casualties. 1t appears the
people had time to get to high ground.
On the approaches to our bridges there
are at least 100 people who are comfort
able and propose to stay there until they
either have to move or the food subsidies.

Lionizing Baler Survivors.

Manila, July S.-The members of the
Spanish colony here are lionizing the sur
vivors Of the Spanish garrison Of Baler,
on the east coast Of Luzon, who returned
here with the Spanish commissioners sent
to treat with the Filipinos for the sur
render of the Spanish prisoners. A dozen
banquets have been arranged In their
honor, and subscription has been start
ed for their relief. Lieutenant Martin,
the only surviving officer Of the garrison,
denies the story that he killed Captain
Morenas, the Spanish officer who COM
manded at Baler, because he tried to
raise white flag. Martin says the cap
tain died Of beriberi.
