Sept. 12.—The first re|>ort of the appalling disaster which has stricken the city of Galveston <lo not seem to have been magnified. Communication was had with the city by boats, anti reports tonight indicate that the deaths will exceed 900, while the property loss cannot he estimated, although it will reach several million dollars. The burial of the dead has already begun. The list is only a partial one, aud the names of all who perished in Saturday’s great storm will never be 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 ieport, however, lacks confirmation. Today a muss meeting was held, and liberal contributions were made for the immediate relief of the destitute. Governor Sayers appealed to Presineut McKinley for aid. This appeal xvas met by a prompt reponse from the pres ident, xvho stated that 10,000 tents and 50,000 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 and night Iroui every state in the Union, ami iu almost every instance substantial relief has been offered. The stricken < ity is iu imminent danger of a water famine, and strenu ous efforts are making here to supply the sufferers.

Washington, Sept. 11.—The war Je- partment has made public a report of Major-General Otis, giving details < f the operations of the United States army in tire Philippines from Septem- her 1, 1899, to May 5, 1900. The re- port covers tho operations of the arm ies and commands of Generals Lawton. MacArthur, Wheatou, Schxvan, James M. anil J. F. Bell, Hughes, Bates ami Young, as Weil as different colonels, who had separate or independent cotn- mauds during that time. Nearly all the facts contained in the report and all important matters were published during the campaign. Besides con taining an account of tho movements of the United States forces, there is considerable space devoted to the poli cies of the insurgents shown to a great extent in the publication of the cap- tuied correspondence and documents found in possession of persons in sym pathy with the insurgents. General Otis says he de.-iies to or- rect an “erroneous impression that rhe war with the insurgent.« was initiated by the United States.” Alter explain ing the conditions that existed at the breaking out of hostilities, he say« “VV’Hr with tiie insurgents vvsis f'jr.:ed on ns ami xvas inevitable.” He asserts that this is shown in Fili pino correspondence captured by the Americans, which, he says, proves that the war was planned bv Aguinaldo. 1 le says another erroneous impression prevails that the Filipinos endeavored to stop hostilities after the first out break, but Were refused by the Uutted States. Tqit Townsend, Wash., Sept. 12.— The steamship Elihu Thomson- arrived from Cape Nome this evening, bringing 200 passengers, most of whom are prac- tii-ally “bloke.” W hile the vessel was in the stream being inspected by the quarantine officer, a boat pulled al n«- side with fruit, and before purchases could be made a collection was r.i :en up and enough raised to purchase two or three boxes of apple«. The Thomson sailed from Nome Aug list 28, and her officers report coroli- tions but little changed. About 15.000 people are there, any of them in d «ti- tute circumstances, and as winter ap proaches much uneasiness prevails among the nnfortunate«, as they can see no prospect of getting away and nothing ahead but sttffi ring and per haps death. Before the Thomson sailed from Nome the report reached there that rich diggings had been struck on Blue stone creek, this side of Cape York, and men xvho came down from Blue stone and reported the find had plenty of dust. This caused a stampede, and all the small steamers and schooner« at Nome headed for the scene of the new strike, loaded with passenger«, while many started out in small boats, and it is said that by the time the stampede is over and the hist steamer sails «onto Nome will be almost depopulated.
