Houston, Texas, Sept. 11. The West
Indian storm, which reached the gult
wast yesterday morning, has wrought
awftil havoc in Texas. Reports are
conflicting, but it is known that an ap
palling disaster has befallen the city oi
GalveBtou. where it is reported, a
thousand or more lives have been blot
ted out and a tremendous property
damage inifloted. Meager reports
from Sabine Pass and Port Arthur also
indicate a heavy loss of life, but the
reports cannot be confirmed at this
hour.
The first news to reach this city from
the stricken city of Galveston was re
ceived tonight. James C. Timmins. of
Houston, superintendent of the Na
tional Compress Company, arrived here
at 8 o'clock from Galveston. Alter
remaining through the hurricane on
Saturday he departed from Galveston
on a schooner aud came across the bay
to Morgan's point, where be caught a
train for Houston. The Hurricane,
Mr. Timmins said, was the worst ever
known. '
The estimates made by citizens' of
Galveston was that 4,000 houses, most
of them residences, have been de
stroyed, and that at least 1.000 people
have been drowned, killed or are miss
ing. Some business houses were also
destroyed, but most of them stood,
I thougli badly damaged.
Thn oitv. Mr. Timiiiina avers, is a
complete wreck, so far as he could see
from the water front and from the Tre
mont hotel. Water was blown over
the island bv the hurricane, the wind
blowing at the rate of 80 miles an
hour, straight from the gulf, and foro
ing the sea before it in big waves.
The gale was a steady one, the heart
of it striking the city about 5 o'clock
yesterday evening and continuing with
out intermission until midnight last
niiiht, when it abated somewhat, al
though it continued to blow all night.
In the bay the carcasses ol nearly uu
horses and mules were seen, tut no
human body was visible.
The scenes during the storm, Mr.
Timmins said, could not be described.
Women and children were crowded
tnrn the Tremont hotel, where he was

Seattle, Sept. 10. The steamship
Berhta arrived from Yaldes last night.
She brought about $30,000 in gold
dust. Arthur Campbell, of the Alaska
Development Company, returned from
Kyak, where the company 1ms found
oil and coal.
Whether the earthquake disturb
ances which were felt on Lynn canal
and at the head of the Yukon river had
anv connection with similar disturb
ances at Lituya bay is a mere conject
ure, but according to information
brought out by the steamer Bertha, a
vast amount of damage was done at the
latter nlace. Five Indians are known
to have been killed.
The news was brought from Lituya
bay to Yakutat by Indians in canoes.
The disturbances' there occurred on
August 11, one day after the earth
quake shocks above referred-to. They
apparently proceeclea irom ine oisiikt.
in which Mount St. Eliaa and Mount
Fairweatlier are situated. On August
11 two heavy shocks were felt, accord
ing to the Indians. The second sho k
created great havoc, as well as destroy
ing five lives. The Indian informants
told persons at Yakutat that five of
the immense glaciers which head into
Lituay bay weree dislodged by tne
disturbance and were sent crashing
into the bay, partly tilling it with great
mountains of ice.
The five Indians are reported to have
been killed on a small island situated
out about a mile from the face ol one,
of the glaciers. They were in a cave
and were drowned by the reat rush of
water which swept over the islr.ud
when the ice rivers crashed down into
the bay. Chief George, one of the
best-known characters in the north,
was one of the drowned Indians. It is
g'aid that the cave cache in which they
were caught was bis personal prop-
No definite news concerning mo
strike on Doruix creek, at the head of
the Copper river, had been brought out
to Yaldes, outside of what was already
known when the steamer Bertha left.
The government trail, under the direc
tion of Captain Abercrombie, hail ap
proached within 70 miles of the strike,
or a distance of 170 miles from Yaldes,
and work was being pushed with all
speed, so as to connect the district by
trail with Yaldes for the coining win
ter. Unless this shall be acomplished
it will be almost impossible to trans
nnrr, snnnlies to the Bcene of the gold
discovery through the winter months.

Houston, Texas, Sept. 18. The first
report of the appalling disaster which
baa stricken the city of Galveston do
not seem to have been magnified.
Communication was had with the city
br boats, and reports tonight iudioate
that the deaths will exceed 600, while
the property loss cannot be estimated,
although it will reach several million
dollars.
The burial of the dead has already
begun. The liHt is only a partial one,
and the namea of all who perished in
Saturday'! great storm will never ue
known.
At the army barracks near San An-
tonio a report is current that more
than 100 United States soldiers lost
their lives in Galveston. The leport,
however, lacks confirmation.
Today a mass meeting was held, and
liberal contributions were made for the
immediate relief of the destitute.
Governor Sayers appealed to President
MoKinley for aid. This appeal was
nior, lw a tiroiimt renonse from the pres
ident, who stated that 10,000 tents and
60.000 rations had, been ordered to Gal
veston. Governor Sayers also ad
dressed an appeal to each municipality
in the state, asking for prompt assist
ance in caring for the sufferers.
Telegrams of inquiry and help have
been pouring in throughout the day
ami niwht Irom every state in the
Union, aud in Blinost every instance
substantial relief has been offered.
The stricken tity is in imminent
danger of a water famine, and strenu
ous efforts are making here to Btipply
the sufferers. Relief trains are being
organized, and will leave here at an
early hour tomorrow.

Large Appropriation for Such Improve

Manila, Sept. 12. The Philippine
commission, at its first public session
to be held in the near future, will dis
cuss the appropriation of one-third of
the treasury's 0,000,000 for the con
struction and lepair of roads and
bridges throughout the archipelago,
The people profess to be much gratified
at the prospect of this work of development.
The revenue authorities ot wanna
collect under the Spanish laws tax of
5 per cent upon the salaries of Ameri
can civilians earning $300 per annum
and upward. The tax is unpopular
and provokes protests among them.
The Filipinos and foreigners who are
used to it do not acoept the levy.
The reports of military operations
show that of late these have been triv
ial. Manila is now experiencing the heav
iest typhoon for years.
Operations in Philippines.
Washington. Sept. 11. The war de
partment has made public a report ot
Major-General Otis, giving details ot
the operations of the United State
army in the Philippines from Septem
ber 1, 1809. to May 6, 1900. The re
Vort covers the operations of the arm
ies and commands of Generals Lawton,
MacArthur, Wheaton, Schwan, Jamea
M. and J. F. Bell, Hughes, Bates aud
Young, as well as different colonels,
who had separate or independent com
mands during that time. Nearly all
the facts contained in the report and
all important matters were published
during the campaign. Besides con
taining an aocouut ol tne movements
of the United States forces, there is
considerable spaoe devoted to the poli
cies of the insurgents shown to a great
extent in the publication of the cap
tured correspondence and documents
found in possession of persons in sym
pathy with the insurgents.
General Otis Bays he desiies to cor
rect an ('erroneous impression that the
war with the insurgents was initiated
by the United States." After explain
ing the conditions that existed at the
breaking out of hostilities, he says:
"War with the insurgents was forced
on us and was inevitable."
He asserts that this is shown in Fili
pino correspondence captured by the
Americans, which, he says, proves that
the war was planned ty Aguinaiao.
He says another erroneous impression
prevails that the Filipinos eudeavored
to stop hostilities after the first out
break, but were refused by the United
States.

The Thomson Bailed from Nome Aug-
condi-
000
people are there, any ol them in desti
tute circumstances, and as winter ap
proaches much uneasiness prevails
among the unfortunates, as they can
see no prospect of getting away and
nothing ahead but suffering and per
haps death.
Bofore the Thomson sailed from
Nome the report reached there that
rich diggings had been struok on Blue
stone creek, this side of Cape York,
and men who came down from Blue
stone and reported the find had plenty
of dust. This oaused a stampede, and
all the small Bteamers and schooners at
Nome headed for the soene of the new
strike, loaded with passengers, while
many started out in small boats, aud
it is said that by the time the stampede
is over and the last steamer sails south
Nome will be almost depopulated.
The captain of the Thomson reports
that several other of the earlier olaims
located at Nome are showing np well,
it having taken the entire season to
place them in working order. Nome
is practically free from siokness, small
pox and other diseases having disap
peared except among Indians at the
village south of Nome. A number of
them are down with smallpox, and
with their method of handling the di
tease the village stands a good chance
ot being wiped out.
