firmed at thia hour.
The flrat newa to rearh thli ctly from
the atriiken city of Ualveaton waa re
ceived tonlxl'l. Jamea C. Timmini, of
llouafm, ruerinlen(lent of the National
Comtireaa Company, arrived here at 8
u'rluk from (ialveaton. AfUir remain
i rt through the harrkane on .Saturday,
he detarUd from Oalveaton on a echoom
er and came arroaa the bay lo Moryan'i
point, where he caught a train (or Ifoua
lon. The hurricane, Mr. Timmera aaid,
waa the worat ever known.
The ealimaiea mad by cltiaeni of Gal
veelon were thai 400 boutea, moet of
them reaidenia, have been deetroyed,
and that at leant 1000 people have been
drowned, killed or are mining. Home
buiima houaea were alao dealruyed, but
inoet of them it-xol, thougli badly dam-
aicL
The wlrea are down, and there if no
w ar of finding out juet what haa hao-
tned. but enough ia known to make it
certain that there haa been great loeaof
life and dent ruction of proerty all along
the coait and for 100 tuilea inland. Every
town that ia reached rr porta one or more
dead, and the properly damage ia to
great there ia no way of computing it ac
curately. Dai. lab, Si-pt. 10 Houston and Texia
Central railroad oflh iala at noon ieceied
hulletina from their (eneral office in
liuueton that the loe of tile will reach
MtO In UelveMon. The M. K. A T. re
lief force near (jalveelon and along the
coHt telrtfraulied at noon that the lota
of life will nol be lea than 5000, and
may reach 10,000.
Hot noN, Sept. 10 A aceneof deeola
lion, nol only at Galveston, but at many
inland oinU in Texas, ia the condition
presented today aa a lenult of Saturday's
atorm. Katimatea of the numler of dead
are placed between 1500 and 2tXX). The
prouerly loss will aggregate many mil
lions of dollars, although no accurate
figures can lie given at present. The
streets of Galveston are mostly under
water, wires are in a hopeless tanitle and
dead iKKliea are strewn among floating
duhtis. No complete list of the dead ia
obtainable until the water recedes.
Harrowing tales of the Iocs of w hole
families and manv miraculous escapes
are told by the few survivors who have
thus far reached thia city. The relief
trains which arrived here early this
morning have been the only means ol
communication with Galveston, and defi
nite information as to the present situa
tion is scarce.
The cotton and rice crops throughout
the district devastated by the storm is
badly damaged in nuny places and in
oihers totally deetroyed.
Reports from Richmond, Lctitia and
Eagle Lake bring additional lists of dead
and property losses, and many placet
cut off from communication are yet to be
hoard Irotu.
Hot sTON, Sept. 12. The situation at
Galveston grows worse every minute.
Wuter and ice are needed. People are
in a Irenny from suffering from these
causes Scores have died since last
night and a number of sufferers have
gone insane.
The ghoula have been holding an orgie
over Hie dead at Ualvestou. The major
ity of these men were negroes, but whites
took part in the deaeer(ion of the dead.
Some of them were natives, and some
had been allowed to ga over Irom the
mainland under the guise of relief work
ers. Not only did they rob the .dead,
but they mutilated bodies in order to
secure their ghoulish booty.
A party of 10 negroes were returning
from a looting expedition. They had
stripped corpses of all valuables, and the
pockets of some of the looters were fairly
bulging out with lingers of the dead
which had been cut off because they
were so swollen the rings could not be
removed. Iucenaed at ttiia desecration
and mutilation of the dead, the looters
were shot down, and it has been deter
mined that all caught in the act of rob
bing the dead shall he summarily shot.
During the robbing of the dead, not
only were fingers cut off, but ears were
stripped from the head in order toeecute
jewels of value. A few government
troops who survived and private citizens
have been patrolling the city and have
endeavored lo prevent the robbing of the
dead, am) on several occasions have
killed (.(lenders. It la nhi that at one
time eight were killed and at another
time four. The total of those to executed
exceeds 50.
Looking to Nftfotlstlona.
WaSiiiKMToM, 8ept. 12. The United
State government ia puhing forward
teadily toward the beginning of negotia
tion with the Chinene irovernment for a
ttluiK(itof the present troubles. An
evidence of Itt purpose was formed in it
decisive communication today lo Minis
ter Wu to facilitate by every means in
1U power the journey of Li Hung Chang
to I'ekin. This carries wi'h it the plac
ing of a warship at his service, if re
quest 'ol this kind it made by Sir Robert
Hart.
Whilt efforts are being made by the
Chinese government to begin negotia
tions, the killing of American citizens
and the destruction of their property con
tinues. Negotiations cannot he thought
of while theoe things continue and while
there It a possibility of preventing them
through the influence of the Chinese
government.
