ton to the Sufferers.

Galveston, Tex, July =. Reports
from a special correspondent of the
News indicate that while the property
loss by the recent floods has been
enormous the loss of life has been
| greatly exaggerated. According to
the News only two lives have been lost
in the lower Brazos flood. Every year
the Brazos and Colorado valleys suf-
fer from foundations. Up to the pres
ent flood the greatest destruction from
the annual foundations was in 1885.
This year the high water mark OF
1885 has been surpassed in Washing
ton. Waller, Austin, Fort Bend inc
Brazoria counties in Southern Texas.
The Rrazos is falling rapidly in the
central part of the state, she scene OF
last weeks flood. The flood reached
the southern part of the state Sunday
night and Monday. The planters had
received ample warning but many ne
groes remained in the Brazos, valley,
believing the water would not reach
higher than in 1885. From $500 to
1000 colored people were caught in the
| valley in Austin. Waller and Fort
Bend counties and were forced to take
to the trees and housetops. An appeal
was made to Houston for boats. but
Houston had sent all boats available
farther up the river last week to Cal
vert. and Bryan. Gov. Savers, at the
suggestion Of Congressman HawIey,
appealed to the war department for
permission to send government life
saving boats from Galveston. PERMITS
sion was granted and a special tram
left for the flooded district, carrying
-~,.r wood aud n 1o,,v,o1>ars NJ
private boats. 1t is believed that
nearly all the people lodged in trees
and on housetops have been rescued,
but the boats sent from Galveston
will patrol the flooded district and
make q thorough search for stragglers.
So far as known but two lives have
been lost in the lower Brazos flood.
The war department has authorized
Gov. Sayers to distribute 10000 army
Tations among the flood sufferers. 1t
is believed there is now food enough
in transit to feed the negroes until the
waters recede and they can return to
plantation work. AS to crops, cotton
is not lost. 1t is entirely washed out
in some places, but on the whole more
good than harm has been done by n
flood to crops. Cotton will be re-
planted in most cases. Corn has
soured in some localities but the crop
is not an entire loss.
The next trouble will be at Velasco.
the mouth of the Brazos, which point
the floods reached yesterday. The
town may be cut off from communica-
ton with the world for a day or two,
but no loss of life is anticipated. The
flood situation is now we'll in hand.
The destitute will be fed and given
work on railways. until the flood will
permit them to return to their homes.

Angleton, Tex, July II. All the
streets Of this town are under two or

have been lost in this vicinity, but the
losses Of live stock and crops will be
heavy. Cattle along the Bastrop have
been drowned by the thousands. The
destruction in Oyster Creek valley. is
absolutely complete. Negroes cabins
have been washed away by the dozens
and the poor blacks are absolutely pen
niless, homeless and hungry. The
Rrazos now extends from Caney, In
Matogorda county on the west, to
Chocolate on the east, a distance OF
thirty-five miles, and has carried COM
plete destruction and desolation with
it. Absolutely nothing is left which

VESSELS WENT ASHORE.
Gale ON Lake Erie Imperila the
Shipping.

Shipping.
Cleveland, Ohio, July 11.-Three YES
sells went ashore Saturday night dur
ing the gale on Lake Erie. They
the schooners George HI. Warrington
and Sophia Minch and the steamer
Sequin. The Warrington and Minch
were in tow of the steamer John N.
Glidden. They left A%shtabula early
in the evening on their way up the
lake. Several miles west of Ashtabula
the Glidden cut loose from the two
schooners and they were permitted to
drift ashore. 1t was after midnight
before the life saving crew got to the
wrecks. The crew of the Minch, con-
sisting of six men and one woman,
was taken off. The crew of the Warm
ington remained on board during the
night. The SeQuin tried to brave the
storm, but her wheel broke and she
Grifted to the beach in the trough Of
the sea, her crew remaining On board.
The three vessels are hard and fast
aground, but it is believed the Sequin
and Warrington can be saved without
trouble, and possibly the Minch can be
pulled off also.

Work of Relief Is Thoroughly
Systematized.

Work of Relief Is
Systematized.
Galveston, Tex, July IL. Relief
work in the Brazos 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. The water is falling at
all points except in Brazoria county.
All sorts Of estimates are made except
as to the amount Of the cotton loss.
An estimate Of so per cent is consid-
cred conservative. This would be a
money loss Of $5,OO0,OOO. The loss sus-
tanned by the destruction Of other
crops, houses, fencing, stock and
bridges will be s., 100000, while the
loss to the railways is probably ST.
0OO,OO making a total of $S,5OO,OOO.
Owing to the exaggerated reports cir
culated as to the loss Of life in the re-
cent floods the News has made a sDe-
cial effort to ecure the facts from
each county. Reports from thirteen
counties show a loss Of thirty-seven
lives from drowning. People supposed
to have been drowned continue to ap-
rear and want to be fed.
