Galveston, Tex, Sept. 1S.-It was q
dreary Sabbath in Galveston. Services
were held in the few churches made fit
for use since the great storm. All day
men and boys were at work clearing
away the debris. Only few dead
were found during the day and they
were quickly burned, no attempt be-
ing made to identify them.
The military and civil authorities are
now cooperating harmOniously IN
Galveston and consequently there is
less looting and desecration of corpses.
Sheriff Thomas is in charge of the
isolated district and is directing inter-
ment and the recovery of property
there. United States Marshal Grant
has been given full authority by Gen.
Scurry and Is directing affairs on the
mainland, aided by a troops of rangers
who are ordered to make

guards stationed at Texas City and

of Marshal Grant. They are the two
points of ingress into the city. He also
has control over the railways running
into this city and all craft plying be-
tween Virginia Point and Texas City,
and no one can embark or disembark
at these places without his permission
unless having authority so to do from
his superior officers. The destitute,
wishing to go to friends in the coun-
try, are given free transportation and
are being sent out of the city as rap
idly as the limited transportation Will
permit. The owner Of any water craft
or railway found guilty of charging
more than the regulation fare
