Yates let the home team down with
three hits in his three innings of duty,

May Reach 200.

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 19-Only
IA bodies of the victims OF the West
Indian storm had been recovered at
Galveston up to noon Wednesday. and
it is doubtful if any more than this
met death in the city proper. The loss
of life in the lowlands, however, and
in the shipping in the bay probably
will reach more than 200, declared the
staff correspondent of local newspa-
per who returned here today from Gal
weston. He attributed the small loss
Of life to the fact that the residents
needed the warning of the govern
nent weather bureau officials. Thou
sands sought refuge in the big build
jngs in the heart of the city. The
Trement, Royal, Panama and Galvez
hotels were crowded to their fullest
capacity.
The correspondent estimates the
property loss at Galveston at $780,
10000. ,---.---~-->
The great sea wall withstood the
Jury of the wind and the sea. Great
holes, however, were torn in the pave
ment Of the boulevard inside the wall
from Seventh to Nineteenth streets,
and in a few places the wall itself
was undermined.
1t will be several weeks before rail
communication can be resumed.
At noon Wednesday it was reported
that there was scarcely enough fresh
water on hand to last another day.
Food is badly needed, as the stock of
groceries is nearly all water-soaked.
The total number of buildings of all
kinds which were wrecked at Calves
ION is estimated at 500. In the vicin-
ity of Twenty-fifth street and Avenue
VI, water did not reach the first floors
Of the houses.
Wreckage from the shattered build
ngs, nearly all of which were frame
structures, is piled high in all parts
Of the city. Telegraph, telephone and
trolley car poles together with the
wires make an indescribable tangle. A
few brick buildings were wrecked,
hese being of the older sort. Refu-
gees who spent the night in the Gal
IeZ hotel, said that at no time did the
sea run clear across the sea wall, but
he waves broke over it with terrific
'orce.
