were very similar to those prevailing in

Yesterdays storm was one Of the worst
ever known on the gulf coast OF Texas.
what damage has been done is not
known. For once both the telegraph COM
panies were knocked out and not word
could be secured from Galveston, or other
points on the coast. The long-distance
telephone had no wires to coast points
standing and Communication was utterly
cut on.
Galveston was completely Isolated froTs
the outside world, and all kinds of sensa-
tionsl and alarming reports were in cir
cuiatton.
The storm passed 10 the interior during
the early part OF the night. and then
Houston was cut of from the earth. save
for The Posts leased wire carrying Asso-
ciated Press dispatches. Every effort was
made by both telegraph companies to get
into Galveston; an effort was made ny
the Western Union to get to Mexico CITY
and thence to TAmploo, where connection
could be had by cable with Galveston but
the Mexican governments lines were all
down and this scheme proved futile.
After tho storm passed to the interior
both companies lost all Of their wires and
then Houston had only 8 single telegraph
wire and no telephone wire, and war
