piling with tho dobrls and bodies i)f victims.
The fearful work of tho storm was not con
fined to tho district along the beach, but
took In all the city district and tho Denver
resurvey, but U was In tho vicinity of
tho beach that the most destruction to
human llfo occurred. Tho waves washed
away tho Homo for tho Homeless and It
Is thought that the Inmates, thirteen or
phans and throe femalo matrons, wero
drowned. The government works wo.'o
greatly damaged. In tho north part of tho
west end tho damago was great also, al
most every building holng damaged to aomo
extent and many wore completely wrecked.
Tho cotton and lumber yards, which are
In that section of tho city, were eomolctely
destroyed and much valuable machinery
Is ruined, However, tho loss of life was
not so heavy In that dlsuict.

Houston aro resting the remains ot five
Houston people who perished nt Scabrooke

Haven, In his arms nnd tho other children
were strapped together. It was not Ions
before a heavy pleco of timber struck
Haven, killing him. Ynun; Hlce was
washed off the roof and drowned.
Mrs. Lucy's oldost child was next killed
by a pleco of timber and the younger one
was drowned. Then Mrs. Lucy was washed

Mcllhonny the only occupants on the roof.
Finally the roof blew off the house and as
It fell Into the water It was broken In
half nnd Mr. Melnhenny on the other. Tho
half and Mr. Melnhenny on the other. Tho
portion of this root to which Mrs. Mcll

WARNING OF STORM'S COMING
Wenllier lliirrmi Predicted It, lint
I'rnplr Wore I'nnlilc to Seel
I'liiccn of Safety.
GALVKSTON, Tex., Sept. 10. (By West
ern Union Dispatch Boat to Houston, Tex.,
Sept. 11.) The terrific cyclone that pro
duced such a distressing disaster in Gal
veston nnd all throufih Texas was predicted
by the United States weather bureau to
strike Galveston Friday night and created
much apprehension, but the night passed
without the prediction being verified. Tho
conditions, however, wero ominous, the
danger signal was displayed on tho flagstaff
of tho weather bureau, shipping was
warned, etc. The southeastern sky was
somber, tho gulf beat high on tho beach
with that dismal, thundorous roar that
presaged trouble, while the nlr had that
stillness that betokens a storm. From out
tho north, in tho mlddlo watches of the
night, the wind began to come In spiteful
puffs, Increasing In volume ns tho dny
dawned.
By 10 o'clock Saturday morning It was
almost a gale; at noon It hud Increased In
velocity nnd was driving the rain, whipping
tho pools nnd tearing things up In a
lively manner, yet no great apprehension
was felt by residents r'r'ol from the en
croachments of tho gulf, but residents near
tho beach were aroused to tho danger that
threatened their homes. Stupendous waves
becau to send their waters far Inland and
the people began a hasty exit to secure
places In the city. Two gigantic forces
wero nt work. Tho gulf force drove the
waves with Irrcslstlblo power high up tho
beach and the galo from the northeast
pitched tho waters against and over the
wharves, choking tho streets and flooding
the city from that quarter. Tho streets
rapidly began to fill with water, communl
cation becamo dlfllcult and tho helpless
peoplo wero caught between two powerful
elements, whllo tho winds howled nnd
rapidly Increased In velocity.
SreU Altpnrcntl) Sufe l'lneen. .
Ituilroad communication was cut oft
shortly' after noon, tho trnck being washed
out; wiro facilities completely failed at 3
o'clock and Galveston was Isolated from
the world. Tho wind momentarily in
creased In velocity, while the waters rap
Idly rose and the night drew on with
drended apprehension depicted In tho face
of every one. Already hundreds and thou
sands wero bravely struggling with tholr
families against tho mad waves and tierce
wind for places of refuge. Tho public
school buildings, court house, hotels, In
fact nny place that offered apparently a safo
refuge from tho elements becamo crowded
to their utmost.
Two minutes after 6:30 p. m., Just be
foro the anomomoter blow away, It had
renched the frightful velocity of 100 miles
an hour. Buildings that had hitherto stood
tumbled and crashed, carrying death and
destruction to hundreds of peoplo. Hoofs
whistled through the nlr, windows wore
driven In with a crash, or shattered by
Hying slate. Telegraph, telephone and
olectrlc light poles, with their masses of
wires, wero snapped off like pipe stems,
and water communications wero broken
What velocity tho wind attained after the
anemometer blow off Is purely ,i matter of
speculation. The lowest point touched by
tho barometer In the press correspondent's
office, which was filled by frightened men
and women, was 28.0H.; thla was about
" 30 p. m. It then began to rlo very
slowly and by 10 p. m had reached 28.09
tho wind gradually subsiding and by mid
night the storm had pabsed. The water
which had reuched n depth of eight feet
on the Strand at 10 o'clock p. m., began to
ebb and ran out very rapidly npd by 5 a. m
the crown of the street ns free of water.
Thus passed out one of tho most frightful
and destructive storms which ever devas
tated the coast of Texas.
The city Is tilled with destitute, bereft
and homeless, whllo In tho Improvised
morgues nrc the rigid forms nf hundreds
of victims, Wholo fnmllles nre side by
side,
The city beach In the southwestern part
of the city was under ten feet nf water,
find tho barracks, located there, aro de-
stroyed, the soldiers having a miraculous
escape from, drowning. Many substantial
residences in the west and southwestern
part of tho city were destroyed nnd tho
death list from there will bo large.
A henvy mortality list Is expected among
the residents down tho Island nnd adjacent
to the const on the mainland, as both were
deeply Hooded and tho houses were, to a
great extent, Insecure. The heaviest Icsers
by the storm will be the Oalvcstou Wharf
company, the Southern Pacific railway and
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fo railroad com
pany and the Texas Lone Star Flouring
company.

Among tho saddest of many sad Incidents
of tho storm was the loss of the families
of two police ofllccrs whllo tho hsiibands
and fathers wero engaged In rescue work.
Ofllccrs Joe Bird and John Rowan were
assigned to rescue work In the east end
early Saturday afternoon. With other of
ficers they worked faithfully to succor
water-bound families near the gulf. They
rescued about 100 persons from the fury
of the storm. They returned to the sta

team of horses attached to It. They had
no Idea that tho waters of the gulf had
Invaded the western portion of tho city
where they lived until they returned to

you here today? It Is because you have
expanded. You recollect In 1&90, only un
yenrs uso, when tho Ognllnla outbreak oc
curred between here nnd the mack Hills,
you put the regulars here until that out
break was suppressed. Did you feel that
you were Imperialists when you did It .'
They wero Just exactly as much Imperial
ists then as the men who nrc fighting in
the Philippines aro now. If Judge Tatt
nnd his associates and Oenernl Mat-Arthur
and General Wheaton and his assistants
nre Imperinllsts, then every American
agent and every officer on overv reservation
in these states Is an Imperialist now.
