Chicago, Sept. 13.-The following
statement was received at IL o'clock
last night:
Galveston, Tex, Sept. 12.-Charles
s. Diehl, general manager of the AS
ISOLATED Press, Chicago.-A summary
of the conditions prevailing at Gal
weston is more than human intelli-
gence can master. Briefly stated, the
damage to property is anywhere be-
tween $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. The
loss of life cannot be computed. No
list could be kept and all is simply
guesswork. Those thrown out to sea
and buried on the ground wherever
found will reach the horrible total
of at least 1900 souls.
My estimate of the loss on the
island of the city of Galveston and
the immediate surrounding district is
between 1000 and 5000 deaths. /
do not make this statement in fright
or excitement. The whole history
will never be told because it cannot
be told. The necessities of those liv-
ing are total. Not single individ-
ual escaped property loss. The prop
erty or the island is wrecked; fully
one-half totally swept out of exist
ence altogether. What our needs are
can be computed by the world at
large by the statement herewith sub
mitted much better than / could pos
sibly summarize them. The help
must be immediate. (Signed)

RUSSIA PROVOKES CRICIS
Issues an Ultimatum which Is Ignored
by Ii Hung Chang.

Berlin, Sept. 1.-THE news bureau
sent to China by the German fleet So
ciety cables from Shanghai that it has
received the following telegram from
the Russian government.
1.-THE Russian government makes the
following ultimatum:
THE emperor of China shall resume
the government himself and shall have
Prince Tuan, the Boxer leader, ar
rested and punished and shall exclude
the emprss from any influence upon
his government.
Iii Hung Chang has declared that
all these demands are unacceptable,
except the first, and has abandoned
his proposed departure for the north"
The Lokal Anzeiger has received the
following from its Shanghai CORES
pondent:
at is announced from Marking that
the viceroys apprehend action from
Germany. The tatai of Marking has
ordered 5000 men mustered into SER
vice and the same number recruited
among the salt smugglers, whose chief
has been appointed commander of
thirty war iunks.
"The German protected cruiser
Seeadler passed Marking with her
decks cleared for action.
Iii Hung Chang has abandoned the
peace negotiations because Prince
Tuan is opposed to them"
Nothing is known here in official
circles of such action on the part of
Germany as is referred to by the
advices to the LOkal AnZeiger.

London, Sept 12.-News agency dis

ported that the dowager empress of
China was captured by the Russians

London, Sept. IA Rome dis
patch says the italian cabinet has

tiations with China.
London, Sept. 12.--France has
formally adhered to the Russian pro-
posal to Withdraw from Picking to
Tien Tsin. The Associated Press
learns on unquestionable authority
telegraphic instructions sent from
Paris and st. Petersburg, to ministers
from France and Russia at Picking,
directing both ministers to take
measures to withdraw legations and
military contingents from both coun-
tries to Tien Tsin Immediately if
circumstances permit. Diplomatic
circles in London are inclined to be-
lieve the step will lead to similar ac-
ton upon the part of the United
States and japan, and while Ger
many may hold out until Field Mar
shall Won Waldersee arrives in China,
she may ultimately asquiesce, leav-
ing Great Britain little choice but to
follow suit.

county is having quite a struggle with
the tax ferret proposition. Some
time ago the board of supervisors en-
ployed George w. Powell to hunt up
property which the assessor had over
looked, and Powell has turned in lists
which he alleges will bring the county
more than $4,000 in taxes if it goes
after them. But the boards wants to
back out of the agreement. When
it first attempted to DO so, Powell
brought an injunction suit against
the board to prevent it from interfer-
ing with him in carrying out his con-
tract Later he dismissed this suit.
Then the board decided to ignore him
and his work, and instructed the
county treasurer not to attempt to
collect any taxes on the property re-
ported by Powell. Powell is now
up in arms, and declares he will force
the county to fulfill its contract. \
bitter contest is in prospect.

Steadily Improve.
Austin, Tex, Sept. Ex-Governor
Sayers has made the following state
ment to the Associated Press cores
pondent on the Galveston flood situa-
ton:
Conditions at Galveston are fully
as bad as reported. Communication,
however, has been re-established b.
tween the island and the mainland
and hereafter the transportation of
supplies will be less difficult. The
work of clearing the city is progress
ing fairly well and Adjutant General
Scurry, under direction of the mayor,
is patrolling the city for the pur-
pose of preventing depredations. Tbs
most conservative estimate as to the
number of deaths places them at
1000. Contributions from citizens o.
this state and from other states are
coming in rapidly and literally and
it is confidently expected that within
the next ten days the work of restor-
alton by the people of Galveston will
have begun in good earnest and with
energy and success. OF course the
destruction of property has been very
great, not less than $10,00O,000, but
it is hoped and believed that even
this great loss will be overcome
through the energy and self-reliance
of the people"

French occupied Barberton yester-

opposition, the enemy being complete

French intercepted large conveys,

of French's forces is still thirty-five
miles behind the cavalry, owing to
