A MISLEADING DISPATCH.

A New York dispatch in yesterdays
Post, referring TO contemplated action "by
the war department" In the matter Of re-
pairs and improvements Of the govern
ment's property on Galveston island and
the deepening of the channel from tho
jetties to Houston, was based undoubtedly
on little fact and a great deal OF mere
speculation.
1t is stated that quick action" will NOW
be taken by the government and that the
projected Improvements will include con-
nections with Houston" These improve
ments are then mentioned as 1oO-foot
wide and 25-tuot deep channel through
Galveston bay to the mouth OF Buffalo
bayou. and thence to Houston a channel
sixty feet wide and seventeen and sne-
half feet deep"
This is not the plan contemplated for
the deep water channel at all. The New
York reporter has things confused. This
is deubly apparent when he says further
that the whole cost will be about 81 600, =
900. OF which "ss71 900 has already been
expended"
Tho war department engineers have re-
ported that a channel 100 feet wide and
| rs feet deep from the 1etties to, Houaton
would coet" about 81 900 900, No co foot
wide. II 1a-foot deep" channel has been
calculated or contemplated at any time
through the bayou. We have declined tc
call for an appropriation for such a chan
mel. The width and depth up to Houston
are In the plans for our ship channel
expected to be respectively, 100 and q
feet. It Is this that congress alone can au
thorise and this that we are asking for
The war department has only $3.50 600
available for dredging" ana improving
tho channel through the bay but this
work has been go planned by the depart
ment that It shall constitute a good be,
ginning for the greater work which n
is expected congress- will eventually au
thorize. The department has no authority
to do anything until congress authorize
It, and makes the necessary appropria-
lions therefor.
Tho SS71,ooo referred TO as having al
ready been expended is probably the
total of the piece appropriations" fol-
years past. to keep the channel, as 1t hai
existed, clear.
The New York reporter has evidentl,
heard OF what Houston has been trying
TO get congress TO do and In confused
way now imagines that the war department
is going to make such and such improve
ments. Tho New York dispatch is, there
fore. misleading. Houston expects TO secure
the money from congress for a lO0-too
wide and 25-foot deep channel and tn,
only effect this storm has had or can
have on the expedition of that project
is to more clearly and emphatlcally dem,

1T Is NOT ALL TEARS
There Are Smiles and Frightening Hopes
A Better and Stronger Galveston.

OF an hour to see leaning houses, roof
less residences, splintered structures but
few days before the homes of those
whose bones and flesh were being turned
to ashes-the discarded playthings of this
placid sea!
But l did not mean to be bitter was
speaking of smiles and good feeling.
Tho first two days the people were de-
spondent. They declared they wanted to
get away Galveston was everlastingly
damned and doomed. II they ccuue here
from other places they cursed thems lives
for coming. If they had been born hore
they wondered why they had never gone
away. There were So many other nice
places to live In.
Today a different spirit fills nearly
every breast. There is law and order;
there is food and water; there is cloth
ing and cleanlness-cleanlines to de-
gree. The women and children are be-
ing gotten out of town rapidly-those
who will go. Many absolutely refuse.
The men are staying. And they have
taken hold of things.
Every hour the prospect brlghteps,
Word comes OF carloads. trainloads and
bcatloads Of food clothing and medlclhr
en- route. Much has already been re-
ceived. The government has tents en-
route for hospital on the beach. The
railroads have united in building a tenn
porary bridge. Tugs and sloops and sail
boats are plying between Galveston and
Texas City and it is 10 trouble for ANY
one 10 get away who wishes.
The military government of the city is
proving satisfactory. Mail service has
been inaugurated with tolerable regularl-
ty. Those in charge of the Southern Pa
cifc Improvements are going to 20 ahead
as of yore. Jim Stewart is here an6 is
already at work repairing the elevator.
Every man who wants work can get
1t. He Is sure of food and clothing for
his family The Eastern banks have
come forward to the aid OF local bank
ers. There will be- building and rebuild
ing--work for carpenters. painters, paper
hangers. brickayers-all the trades. They
will be paid for their work; this money
will be put in local circulation and in
! time Galveston will BIO stronger, better
and more progressive than ever before.
1t is not all tears in Galveston.
