What the News desires to say to the
surviving victims of last Saturdays cat
astrophe. is that world wide sympathy
which is encompaSSing us, we must not
give way to despair. If we have lost all
else we still have life and the future and
it is toward the future that we must de-
vote the energies of our lives. We can
never forget what we have suffered, we
cannot forget the thousands of our
friends and loved ones who found in the
angry pillows that destroyed, their final
resting place. But tears and grief must
not make us forget our present duties.
The ruin which has desolated Galveston
is not beyond repair; we must not for a
moment think Galveston is to be aban-
doned because of one disaster, however.
horrible that disaster has been. We have
our homes here, even if those homes are
in ruins, and if we loved Galveston be-
fore, how much stronger must that af-
fection be, and how much more sacred
it must be when we think of our loved
ones whose dust consecrated not only the
land but the very waves which lash it's
shores.
"It is a time for courage of the highest
order. 1t is time when men and wO-
men show the stuff that is in them and
we can make no loftier Acknowledgement
of the material sympathy which the world
is extending to us than to answer back
that after we shall have buried our dead,
relieved the suffering of the sick and des-
titute, we will bravely undertake the vast
work of restoration and recuperation
which lies before us in manner which
shall convince the world that we have
spirit to overcome misfortune and rebuild
our homes. In this way we shall prove
| ourselves worthy of the boundless ten
derness which is being showered upon us
| in the hour of desolation and sorrow"

United States May Deal Direct With China
Powers Disagree---Chaffee is Waiting
at Pekin, ReadyTo Go Or Stay

Washington, Sept. 13.-The Chinese
government has made swift answer to
the latest communication from the state
department relative to the recognition
of Lii Hung Chang as an envoy competent
to negotiate a peace settlement. There
never has been any doubt here as to the
sufticiency of Lis credentials as a pleni-
potentiary, but the effort of the state de-
partment has been to cause him to use
any extraordinary powers he might have
for the protection of American life and
property in China pending final settle
ment. It has succeeded in attaining this
object as indicated in the response from
Ii Hung Chang presented to assistant
secretary Hill this morning by Minister
WI, The department asked Ii Hung
Chang "without further delay to give as
surance that the life and property of
Americans might henceforth De respected
throughout the Chinese empire
The yiceroy has given the assurance
asked for. His word came in the shape
of cable dispatch to Minister WI, dat
ed yesterday at Shanghai. Mr.. WI call
ed at the state department this afternoon
and presented this answer to DR.. Hill.
He in turn sent it forward othe president.
1t will be for the latter to decide whether
Lis assurance is sufficient to meet
the needs of the case. 1t Is beleVed II

Houston, Tex, Sept. 13.-General Man

Wharves of his company being built

AS to the report that all the roads will
combine their interests and put one
bridge to be used by all, Mr.. Van Week
said:
I'VE are going to rebuild our bridge.
OF course If they want to help that will
be acceptable, but no proposition for

He said that work on the Southern Pa

STRICKEN GALVESTON IS CAEERED BY SYMPATHY End HOPE
SOLDIERS LOST AND F0RT|F|CATI0N GONE

Washington, Sept. 13.-The war depart
ment has received the following telegram
from General McKibbin,. who was sent
to Galveston to report on conditions
there:
Houston. Texas, Sept. 13.-Adjutant
General Washington: Arrived at Calves
ton at p. M, having been ferried across
the bay in a yawl boat. 1t is impossible
to adequately describe the conditions ex-
listing. The storm began about a. m.,
on Saturday and continued with con-
stantly increasing violence until after
midnight. The island was inundated; the
height of the tide was from eleven to
thirteen feet. The wind was cyclone.
With few exceptions every building in
the city is injured. Hundreds are entire
ly destroyed. All the fortiflcations, ex-
cept the rapid fire battery at San Jacinto,
practically destroyed. At San Jacinto
every building except the quarantine, has
been swept away. Battery 60" First Ar

Men bare headed, bare footed, hatless
and coatless with swelled feet and
bruised and blackened bodies and heads
Wer numerous. Women of wealth and
refinement, frequently hatless and shoe
less with gowns in shreds, were among
the refugees. Sometimes there would be
man, wife and child or two but these
cases were rare, nearly all of those who
came in having suffered the loss of one
or more members of their family.
Never were there so many sad hearts
Men "ereft of their wives and children;
women who were widowed; children who
were parentless-it was enough to touch
the heart of any one and it did so. Never
was there more heroism shown. Although
week ago these people had happy
homes, they are now homeless and penni-
less.
They bore up bravely. True, they all
wore sad expressions, but there was no
whimpering, no complaining. They were
all made to feel that Houston is now their
home, that they are welcome and that
everything for their comfort and welfare
is being done. They are being housed
and fed, and those in need of medi-
cal attention are placed in the hos
pitals, where they receive every care.
Many of the refugees to. reach Hous-
ton have tasted little or no food since the
storm,

Names will be sent as soon as possible.
Loss of life on the island is possibly more
than one thousand. All bridges are gone,
waterworks destroyed and all telegraph
lines are down. Col. Roberts was in the
city and made every effort to get tele-
grams through. The city under control
of committee of citizens and perfectly
quiet. Every article of equipment or
property pertaining to battery 20" was
lost Not record of any kind is left.
The men saved have nothing but the
clothing on their person. Nearly ALL are
without shoes or clothing, other than
their shirts and trousers. Clothing nee
essary has been purchased and tempor-
ary arrangements made for food and
shelter. There are probably 5000 citizens
homeless and absolutely destitute who
must be clothed, sheltered and fed. Have
ordered twenty thousand rations and
tents for one thousand from Houston
Have wired commissary general to
ship thirty thousand rations by express.
Lieut.. Perry will make his way back to
Houston and send this telegram.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 12-The long
expected trouble between mine owners

lowing order:

strike but cease work in a body on and

President Mitchell of the Mine Work.
ers' union would not state what secret
influence had been at work to prevent
the strike and which had caused the de-
lay. He said the person at work had
offered his services voluntarily and that
the matter was confidential. AS to main
tanning the men during the strike, he
said:
when men are fighting for just
wages they can subsist on very little.
At any rate. it is safe to say trat no
body will starve or want sor necessary
clothing. Most of the men live in COM
pany houses and we must consider the
probability of eviction, but these things
have all been fully considered. At this
time it will be folly for the organza-
ton to go into details as to the provi-
sions made for feeding and clothing the
strikers
President Mitchell will leave Saturday
for Hazelton, Pa, to personally conduct
the strike.

BOLIVAR HAS 1000 DEAD.
Came Ashore From Across the Bay at
Galveston.

Houston, Texas, Sept. BIB. F. Cam
eron, lumber dealer of Stowell, Cham
bers county, says that the relief party
who went from Stowell to Bolivia report
ed that there was over 1000 dead bodies
on the beach at Bolivar, in East Bay and
in sight of the salt marshes which line
the bay. The party succeeded in bury
ing only forty of these corpses. The
others are lying in the water and on land
decomposing and throwing forth a horri-
BILE stencil. The carcasses of animals are
mixed in with them. Many of these
bodies were evidently swept across the
bay from Galveston. Others are of peo-
pie who lived at Bolivar. 1t will be nee
essary to collect and burn these remains
to prevent the outbreak of an epidemic
which may extend far into the interior
of Chambers county.
