GUARDING GALVESTON.
Militia detachments have been sta
toned at Texas City and West Virginia
Point to prevent the passage of persons
who have no business at Galveston,
Eighty-three bodies have been buried at
Texas City up to last night. All fioated
in from the island. Probably 200 bodies
have been buried at Virginia Point.
FOOD AND CLOTHING NEEDED.
Houston, Texas; Sept. 1.-THE mag
nitude of the calamity grows. Newspaper
statements have been too conservative.
Capt. Charles Clarke, of Galveston, has
been quoted as saying that 10000 would
be reached before the mortuary list of
Galveston and vicinity would be closed.
Men who came from the island yester-
dag say that the pressing need is food
and dresses for women. Barges are now
passing between Texas City and Calves
ton, distance of six miles. They con-
meet with trains that pass over the Gal
weston, Houston & Henderson and the
Texas City tracks. The break in the
railroad has been repaired as far as
Texas City Junction. Telegraphic wire
however, are taken.
THE LOSSES.
Houston, Texas, September 12.-Based
on reports believed to be accurate, the
statement probably is as near
correct as can be arrived at regarding
the losses in Texas as the result of last
Saturdays storm:

The STEPHENS BILL.
DR.. Boyd in an Open Letter Oorrects a
Wrong Impression.

V1oAS 4MPAoooiVn'
DR.. Nathan E. Boyd, secretary of the
Rio Grande Dam and Irrigation COM
pany, which intends to build the Ele-
phant Butte dam, in an open letter cor
rects misstatement made in the El
Paso papers. The letter is as folows
"In the report of my remarks before
the committee on irrigation on Thurs
day evening at Ell Paso it is stated that |
asserted that Governor Otero would i'm
mediately after the election head COM
mittee to Washington to protest against
the international dam on grounds of
alleged prospective injury to the MesiIla
valley, as well as upon the sixth clause
idea. This is hardly in accordance with
what actually said. merely stated in
substance that if the Stephens bill Tor
any other bill providing for the con
structon of an international dam at Ell
Paso) proposes in any way to restrict the
legitimate use of the waters of the Rio
Grande in New Mexico, Governor Otero
would send another delegation to Wash
ington, and if need be 60 in person him
self, with a view to protecting the inter-
est OF his people by opposing the inter
national project"
Thanking you for your courtesy,
am. yours faithfully,

ORDER SUCCEEDS CHAOS.
Houston, Texas, Sept. 12.-Order has
begun to take the place OF chaos which
reigned at Galveston since Saturdays
terrible storm. Mayor Jones and other
conservative men In statement to the
Associated Press declare that 1900
deaths will result from the storm. Over
100 lives were lost at the other points of
Texas.
Ten million dollars it is said will cover
Galveston's property loss while half as
much more is estimated from the re-
mainder of the state. The late advices
are that 700 human bodies have been
sunk at sea. The martial law prevails,
and vandalism Is brought to a sudden
check. Half hundred of these men
have been shot. The water supply is
now reported adequate, eliminating one
of the worst features. Many deaths are
resulting from unavoidable neglect and
bad sanitary condition. Telegraph
companies are swamped with press and
private kilograms.

Dallas, Texas, Sept. 12.-W. H. Nc
Grath, manager of the Dallas Electric
company, reached Dallas today direct
from Galveston; he said: "The vandal-
ism at Galveston has been horrible. Ad-
jutant General Scurry's men arrested
hundred or more negroes. Forty three
were found with effects taken from the
dead bodies, and were ordered tried by
court martial, convicted and ordered
shot. One negro had twenty-three fin
gers with rings on in his pocket.
ALMOST 10000 PERISHED.
Houston, Texas, Sept. IL, Noon.-The
loss of life at Galveston is now conserva-
lively estimated and many believe it to
be 5000 to 10000 people who have per-
ished.
Refugees continue to arrive here and
homes and public buildings have been
thrown open. The work Of relief is be-.
ing carried on rapidly.
