The West Indian storm which reached the gulf coast yesterday morning has wrought awful havou In Texas. Re ports are conflicting , but It Is known that nn appullng disaster has befallen the city of Galvcslon , where it 'l re ported 1,000 or more lives , have been blotted out and a tremendous property damage incurred. Meager reports from Sablno POSH and Port Arthur also Indicate a heavy loss of life , but thcso reports cannot be conflrme- this hour. The first news to reach this city from the stricken city of Gnlveston was received tonight. James C. Tlm- mlns , who resides In Houston and who is the general superintendent of the National Compress company , ar rived In the city at H o'clock tonight from Galvcston. Ho was one ol the first to reach hero with tidings of the great disaster which has oomllen the city , and the magnitude of that disas ter remains to bo told because ol his endeavors to reach home. After re maining through the hurricane on Sat urday ho departed froiri Galveston on a schooner and came across the bay to Morgan's Point , where ho caught a train for Houston. The hurricane , Mr. Tlmmlns said , was the worst over known. The esti mates made by citizens of Galvcston was that 4,000 houses , most of them residences , have bccu destroyed and that at least 1,033 people have been drowned , killed or arc missing. Some business houses were also destroyed , but most of them stood , though badly damaged. The city , Mr. Tlmmlns avers , Is a complete wreck , so far as ho could sec from the water front and from the Tromont hotel. Water was blown over the Island by the hurricane , the wind blowing at tho. rate of eighty miles an hour straight from the gulf and forc ing the sea water before it In big Waves. The gale was a steady one , the heart of It striking the city about C o'clock yesterday afternoon and con tinuing without Intermission until midnight Saturday night , when it abated somewhat , although it contin ued to blow all night. Of his own knowledge Mr. Tlmmlns knew of only QUO house succumbing with fatal results , though ho heard of many residences being carried away with Inmates. The house that ho saw destroyed was Rlttei8 ; saloon and res taurant , at 210'J Strand street , a prin cipal business street of the city. This three story building wan blown down and nine men prominent citizens were killed. Among the dead arc : Charles Kel- ncrs , a cotton buyer for an English firm ; Stanley C. Spencer , general manager of the Elder-Womster steam ship line ; Richard Lord , manager for McFttdden'a cotton company , whose body is still In the ruins. Secretary Bailey of the wharf com pany and several waiters and custo mers saved themselves by jumping from the upper story Just before the crash came. It was reported that the orphan asy lum and both the hospitals wcro de stroyed and If this proves true the loss of life will bo great , as these in stitutions were generally crowded and as they were substantial buildings the chances arc that many had taken re fuge In them. The water extended across the Isl and. Mr. Tlmmlns said it was three feet deep in the rotunda of the Tro mont hotel and was six feet deep In Market street. HEAVY FIGHTING IN COLOMBIA.
