others will die in the same way is
probable, even if no pestilence breaks

gone insane from their sufferings.

The latest news from foodswept
Galveston increases the horror of the
picture left by the terrible tidal wave.
At least ten thousand persons were
swept into eternity by the wind and
wave that set in at . O'Clock Saturday
morning. and continued for twenty
four hours. The following report is
from a correspondent at the scene of
the dreadful calamity.

Point. Other thousands are ready to
leave as soon as they can secure pas
Rge.
Must Get Them Away.
Mayor Jones says that there are at
least 1000 women and children and in
jsred men whom it is imperative to
take away at once to avoid great NOR
tality among them.
Their going is a blessing to them,
and it Will be an equal blessing to
hose who remain behind. The citi-
zens' committee is using every effort
10 encourage the departure of all who
viii go. and especially CT the women
and children. 1t is furnishing free
transportation to many, and in this it
IS assisted by the railroad companies.
Survivors Taken North.
Word was received from General
Manager Trice Of the international &
Great Northern Railroad that suffer-
ers would be carried free to Houston
from Texas City. where most of the
boats land and that transportation to
points still further north would be
furnished TO people unable to pay their
way. The Galveston. Houston & Hen
derson road will also operate relief
trains and carry refugees from Texas
City TO Houston.
The establishment OF this passenger
service out Of the city and of a relief
weight service from Clinton to Gal
weston to bring in supplies. which is
promised. will greatly relieve the sit
nation at Galveston, but it is still bad
enough.

Lieutenant Delaney, who was an Of

jutant-General Scurry of Texas, are on
the ground, and are advising with
Mayor Jones and with Chief OF Police
Ketchum.
In all other respects the city is
worse off than on the morning after
the tragedy. \ terrible stencil perme-
ates the atmosphere. 1t comes from
the bodies of a thousand unburied dead
fostering in the debris that cannot be
removed for weeks on account OF the
paucity of laborers.
The loss OF life Thursday morning
YVES estimated by conservative people
at 5000. Besides the thousand or
more bodies yet pinned beneath the
wreckage hundreds of cadavers. all
smashed up piers. Hundreds of bodies
are floating in full view in the bay.
Every tide brings scores back to the
shore. During the early part OF We'd
nesday trenches were dug and bodies
thrown into them, but il soon became
an impossibility TO bury all the dead,
and the health authorities decided
upon cremation as an expedient.
Funeral fires were built and torches
applied.
In one pile eighty-three bodies were
incinerated. Thursday morning the
charred remains of 1000 victims lay
smoking on the shore.
Food Famine Is On.
A food famine is now on, as well as
that of water. The best hotel in town
served Thursday for breakfast to it's
400 patrons a small cup of black coffee
and one slice Of bread. But one res
taurant is open; unseasoned coffee is
all that can be obtained here. Horses
and cattle stray through the streets
untethered. The water is so contami-
mated with filth that even these dumb
beasts refuse to drink it. The commit

the citizens were furious. Tuesday
night the main thoroughfare was in
tensely dark and deserted, not lamp

Life Is Held Cheap.
Life is held cheap in Galveston. The
awful presence of death of the great

a shooting or killing attracts little or
