THAT TERRIBLE STORM.
Galveston, Sept. 14. As a result
of the awful storm, thn loss of life
cannot be computed. All is cjuess
woik. Those buried in the Bea
and ground will foot up a horrible
total of at least 3000. Many esti
mate the loss ou the island, in the
city of Galveston and the immedi
ate surrounding districts between
4000 and 5000 deaths. The whole
story will never -be told, because it
cnuuot. The necessities of those
li ving are pressing. Not a single
individual escaped property loss.
The property on the island is half
swept out of existence. '
All attempts at burying the
deud have been utterly abandoned,
and bodies are now being disposed
of in the safest manner possible.
Scores of them were buried today,
and hundreds were, taken out to
sea and thrown1 overboard, The
safety of the living; is now the
paramount questiou, and nothing
that will tend to prevent . the out
break of pestilence i being neg
lected. ,
This morning it was found that
large numbers of the bodies which
had been previously thrown iuto
the bay washed 1 back upon the
shore, and the situation was thus
rendered worse than before they
were first taken in the bargee and
thrown into the water.
It will, now i never be known
how many have lost their lives in
this awful catastrophe. ! Mayor
Jones thinks, the dead will amount
to several thousand, and others,
whose opportunities for judging
are less than that " of the mayor,
place it as high as 10,000.
Relief committees from . the in
terior of the state have commenced
to arrive, and, as usual, they are
too large in numoers, ana to a
certain extent are iu the way of
the people of, Galveston . and an
impediment to the prompt relief
Which they themselves are so de
sirous of offering. Some of the
relief expeditions have had com
mittees large enough to consume
25 per cent of the provisions which
they brought. .
The great trouble nbw seems to
be that those people who are in
greatest need are the last to re
ceive aid. Many of them are so
badly maimed and wounded that
they are unable to apply to the
relief committee, and the commit
tees are so overwhelmed by direct
applications that they have been
unable to send out messenerH.
The wounded everywhere are still
needing the attention of physic
ians, and despite every e.ffort it is
feared a number will die because
of the impossibility to allot d them
the aid necessary to pave their
lives.
.Every man in Galveston who is
able to walk and work is engaged
in the work 6f relief. But despite
their utmost endeavors they can
not keep up with the increase of
the miserable conditions which
surround them. - Water .can be
obtained by able-bodied men, but
with difficulty.-
There were ?00 people 't St
Mary's Infirmary without water.
They had been making coffee of salt
water and using that as their only
beverage.
Very little stealing was reportedi
today, and there were : no killings.
The number of men shot yesterday
for robbing'the dead s proved a sal
utary lesson, and it is not expected
that there will be any more occur
rences of this sort. The soldiers
of the regular army and of the
National Guard are guarding prop
erty, and it is impossible for thieves
to escape detection.
The loan of life among the rega
lar army stationed at tbe barracks
on the beach was largely overesti
mated. Last night and today they
turned up singly and in squads,
and at present there are about 27
missing. ' - '
One soldier reached this city
this morning who bad been blown
into tbe Gulf of Mexico and had
floated nearly 50 miles, going and
coming on a door. Another who
showed up today declared that he
owed his life to a cow. It swam
with him nearly three miles. ' Tbe
cow then sank acid the soldier
swam the remainder of the way to
tbe mainland.
Efforts were made this afternoon
to pick np the dead bodies that
have floated in with the tide,'hav
ing once been cast into the sea.
This is awful work, and few men
are found with sullicieiitly strong
nerves to last at it tuoie than oO
minutes at a time. Ali of the
bodies re badly decompowid, swol
len to enormous propoi tions, and
of m dark a color that it is impos
sible, except by the hair, to de
termine whether the corpses are
those of whiten or negroes.

A relief train which arrived in
Houston at 5 o'clock this evening,
carried 350 women and children;
another at 10 o'clock carried twice
as many more, ana it is expeclea
that fully 3000 women and child
ren will be out of the pl tce by to-
moirow uight. Mayor Jones esti
mates that there are at least 1000
of these helpless ones who should
be taken from Galveston at the
earliest possible moment They
are all apparently anxious to get
away, and will be bandied as rap.
idly as possible.
Another trainload of provisions
and clothing, making the third
within the last 20 hours, arrived
at Galveston tonight. The Bteamer
Charlotte Allen arrived at noun to
day from ' Houston with 10,000
loaves of bread and other provis
ions, i he amount ot tood wmcu
has been seot so far has been
large, but there are still in the
neighborhood of '30,000 people to
be cared for on the island.
Yesterday morning i it became
apparent that it would be impossi
ble to bury ) the dead in long
trenches, and arrangements were
made to take them to sea. . Barges
and tugs were quickly made ready
for the purpose, but it was difficult
to get men to work. Soldiers and
policemen were sent out, and every
able-bodied man they found was
marched to the wharf front, The
men were worked in relays, and
were supplied with stimulents to
nerve , them for their task. At
nightfall three barge loads, con
taining about ,700 human bodies,
had been sent to sea, where they
were sunk with weights.. Dark
ness compelled suspension of work
until morning. Toward night
great difficulty was experienced in
handling bodies of negroes, which
are badly decomposed.
No effort wbb made, after 9 o'
clock yesterday morning, to place
the bodies in morgues for identih
cation, for it was imperative that
the dead should be gotten to sea
as soon bb possible. Many of the
bodies taken out are unidentified,
Ihey are placed on barges as
quickly as possible and lists are
made while the barges are being
Picket lines have been estab
lished around the large stores, and
guards placed on duty. The sol
diers and police are instructed to
shoot anyone caught looting or at
tempting to loot, lhe jana are
full and summary measures are
necessary.
Vandalism at Galveston has been
horrible. The most rigid enforce
ment of martial law has not been
able to suppress it entirely. Men
hrive arrested a hundred or more
negroes. Forty-three of these found
with effects taken from dead bodies
were ordered tried by a court-
martial. They were convicted and
ordered shot. One negro had 23
fingers with rings on them in his
pocket.
The situation grows worse every
minute. Water and ice are needed
People are in frenzy from suffering
from these causes. Scores have
died since last night, and a number
of sunerers have gone insane.
KIND ACT NOTICED.
Dan Mc Allen, one of the
live
dry goods merchants of Portland
recently Baid:
"I am always interested when
see something that would please
that Cruel Society for the Preven-
tation of Animals, as the little girl
called it. On a recent afternoon
I saw standing on 3d and Morri
son, where cars start for all parts
of the world, a staid,' old horse
eating his dinner out of a" pail
which hung around his neck. Just
as I approached I saw that the pail
had caught oo some portion of the
harness and tbe poor animal not
only could not eat but seemed to
be in imminent danger of tipping
the remainder of his dinndr out on
the ground. While I was wonder
ing whether I had best attempt to
help him, a pretty girl approach,
ing from the other direction took
in the situation at a glance and
went to the rescue. She wore a
light-colored tailor-made gown.
with a smashing bunch of violets
finned at one side of her coat and
should have fancied her alto
gether too immaculately gotten np
to be willing to touch that old
horse. She didn't hesitate, how
ever, and I'm sure she never looked
prettier than when, with delicately
gloved hand, she loosened the pail
and gave the horse a kind little pat
on bis bioad nose. Unimaginative
people might have thought that
the succession of bows he gave just
as she left was due to his satisfac
tion in having his head free again,
but I know that he meant them for
a polite recognition of her kindness
in helping him out of a bad fix."

BRITON AND BOER.
Lourenco Marques. Sept 14.
President Kruger arrived here last
night With several Transvaal
officials he is staying at the house
of Mr. Pott, the Consul of tbe
Netherlands. It is reported that
they will sail for Europe Sept. 24
on the German steamer Herzog.
London, Sept, 14. The flight of
President Kruger from what is
now designated as the Vaal River
Colony is regarded here as indica
tive of an early end of the hostili
ties in South Africa.
Significant also is the announce
ment that Gen. Botha,, the Boer,
Commander-in-Chief, is making
overtures to surrender, and the
question whether the burghers will
now follow the usual course of
beaten armies and lay down their
arms or formally deolare in favor
of guerrilla warfare, must be speed
ily settled. It is believed here
that President Kruger's action de
prives the Boors of their main pre
text for remaining in the held.
The British War Office has is
sued a long report from Lord Rob
erts on the treatment of British
prisoners of war at Pretoria, found
ed on the report of the court of
inquiry. Briefly, Lord Roberts
says that the treatment of officers
was fair, but that the food of the
men was quite inadequate and of
inferior quality. He denounces
the treatment" of the colonial pris
oners as criminal, and says the in
human treatment of sick prisoners
throws the greatest discredit on
the authorities then at Pretoria.
The prevalence of sickness and
many deaths of prisoners, Lord
Roberts adds, are attributed to tbe
lack of proper food, medioineB and
neglect of sanitary precautions.
Washington, Sept 14. The fol
lowing dispatch has been received
by the War Department from the
United States Army officer who
accompanied the Boers in their
campaign as military observer:
"Lorenco Marques Even ts have
required the departure of attaches
from the Transvaal, liequest m
structions."
This message is interpreted at
the department to mean tbe com
plete collapse of the Boer resist
ence to England. Captaiu Reich-
mann has been cabled to start at
once for the United States.
London, Sept 15 Mr. Kruger
has resigned the presidency of the
Transvaal, but remains a member
of the executive. Gen. Botha is
said to have been so incensed at
the cowardly conduct of his forces
that be has resigned the supreme
command, and Viljoen is torn
mandant-General. Mr. Kruger
proposes to set up the seat of Wb
government at Mozambique.
News from the seat of war m
South Africa is indecisive, but it is
clear that Lord Roberts is making
a concentrated movement upon
Komatipoort, and has left Pretoria
iu order to direct it personally,
I.vdenburc apparently was aban
doned as soon as it was captured,
and the British forces are in hot
pursuit of the remnant of the Boer
army, and driving it eastward to
the Portuguese frontier. Komati
poort is the new objective point,
and w hen it is captured Lord Rob
erts will be credited with having
taken possession of the hint Dutch
ruilwHV line atid closed tbe door
into neutral teriitory.
I
London, Sept. 18. A pitcued
battle has been fought between
Kaap Muiden and Hectorspruit,
resulting in heavy Boer losses.
The Boers removed, and now
threaten to destroy the cogwheels
of the locomotives between Water
boven and Watervalonder, without
which the railway cannot be
worked. They have blockaded
and damaged the railway for six
miles on the Crocodile Poort sec
tion, have destroyed the culverts
and the Hectorspruit bridge, and
looted and burned Komatipoort.
Tbe British are now at Komati
poort, and heavy fighting is pro
ceeding. Gen. French has captured 50 lo
comotives, in addition t$ the 43
and other rolling stock which he
took at Barberton.
GOATS R NO GOOD.
The hide of the above Bunt is now on
the wire fence of Geo. Steers, of Tar-
niptop Krick, and the magpies are hav
ing lots of fun with it. , ,
It cannot butt them.
In George's offhand reading he im
bibed the idea that a goat would help
it nurd hia sheep from coyotes and bears.
Ho he bought a Billy at fancy price.
When danger threatened, the goat
always rushed to the center of the band,
so that the sheep would protect him,
and he was always where he was not
wanteds
He ate the herder's shoes and shirt,
chew'ed (taps in the barb wire fence,
and defltroyed the luce curtains on the
clothesline. When Mrs, Steers got
after him he dittoed her, as shown
above.
He also in the midst of ttood grass
ate the wool from the lambs and chewed
their tails.
