sufferers have reached $4,000.
It is estimated 500 lives were lost in
the Texas storm outside Of Galveston.
The fund for relief of the Galveston
sufferers had reached 81, 5000 Satur.
day night.
The government suffered great finan-
cial loss by the destruction of fortified
tions at Galveston.
The latest list of dead in the Calves
ton disaster printed by the Houston
Post, revised to date, shows the loss o.
4,437 lives.
More than 1900 dead bodies have
been recovered and identified at Calves
ton and the estimate of Mayor Jones
that 5000 souls persisted in Saturdays
great hurricane does not appear to be
magnif1ed.
AS result of the terrible mutilation
of bodies at Galveston by vandals %
negroes were shot by order Of court
martial. Their pockets were found to
be full of human fingers and jewelry OF
which the dead were stripped.
The Houston Post prints list Of
2,7O0 names of the Galveston dead,
compiled from various sources, but be-
lieved to be authentic. Hundreds OF
others were buried at sea and along the
beach and many are still in the ruins.
Taking all things into consideration,
there seems no longer any doubt that
the number of dead will reach beyond
the estimates of 5000 which have been
made by Mayor Jones and other re-
liable citizens of Galveston.
: The following statement Of the con-
ditions at Galveston and an appeal for
aid has been issued by the local relief
committee: ga conservative estimate
of the loss of life is that it will reach
{, 1000. At least 5000 families are home
less and wholly destitute. The entire
remainder of the population is suffering
in greater or less degree. Not a single
church, school or charitable institu-
ton, of which Galveston has so many,
Is left intact. Not a building escaped
damage and half the whole number
were entirely obliterated. There is
need of food, clothing and
household goods of all kinds.
