All the correspondents la China are sending terrible stories of the wholesale massacre of missionaries and native Christians. It is asserted that during July between fifteen and twenty thousand converts wire mas sacred In the northern provinces. Large numbers of missionaries are still unac counted for and small hope Is entertained of their escape. Native reports are subjected to the most -w b. r.oZill though there may be some exaggeration.

It la Impossible to doubt that In the main they are correct. Th. horror Is Intended by confirmation of the reports that the women are subject ed to unspeakabl barbarities and tortures uinc inativ eiubtuvi ta death. This was one of the mildest metb. ed.

The ioxer wreaked fiendish vengeance. Th newspapers are calling for awift punishment. Fears are expressed lest th Russian government, which does not ene-couraar missionary propaganda, should prove lukewarm la this matter. Statements were current In the European capitals last that ail the powers bad replied to th Russian proportion that Great Britain and Germany had declined to evacuate IVkln; that Austria and Italy had decided to be guided by Germany' decitoi and that the wttur powers had agreed to a more or less modified withdrawal.

Sayers to. day made the following statement to the Associated Press on the flood situation: Conditions in Galveston are fully as bad as reported. Communication however has been reestablished between the Island and the mainland and hereafter transportation of supplies will be less difficult. The work of clearing the city is progressing fairly well and adjutant general Scurry under orders of the mayor, is patrolling the city for th'e purpose of preventing depredations. The most conservative estimate as to the number of dead places it at 2.000.

Contributions from citizens of this State and also from other States are coming rapidly and liberally and it is confidently expected that within the next ten days the work of restoration by the people of Galveston will have begun in "rood earnest and with energy and success. Of course the destruction of property has been very great not less than ten millions of dollars but it is hoped and believed that even this great loss will be overcome through the energy and self reliance cf the people. During the day contributions have fairly deluged the Governor upward of $100,000 having been received. Gov. Sayers to-day began receiving reports from various points along the Gulf coast which would Indicate that there has been great property damage done for several hundred miles and that the list of Galveston fatalities and suffering will be largely augmented.

Down the coast from Galveston the town of Dickinson was laid waste and five people killed. The towns of Alta, Loma, Texas City and Brookshire are wrecked and hundreds are destitute, Richmond is so badly demolished that it will require weeks to clear the town. Missouri City and Stafford just opposite were entirely demolished and the few remain ing people at these places bava no homes tc cover their heads. Bay City in Matagorda county is reported wrecked with much loss of life though no official report has been made to that effecet. Patiou.

Areola and 121 Sampo are all reported heavy sufferers both in point of property destroyed and lives lost. Owing to the fact that the telegraphic service Is still badly crippled. Sayers cannot ascertain the xact number of dead at the points named but it 'is approximated at 5(H). I Reports reaching the governor! show that the railroads, telegraph and telephone companies have suffered in immense loss.

The governor was informed to-day that quite a number of tugs from New Orleans and other available points had either arrived or wera on route to Galveston and that by Saturday the porta tlon problem would be solved as getting from the island to the land was concerned. trans- po far main- ARMED MEN WANTED To Assist In Burying the Dead Strict Police Regulations to Prevent VandalismSeven Negroes Shot.

J. K. Frye. who has been an observ- er of the weather for 15 years has a theory that the storm which visited Galveston originated in the vicinity of Port Eads and was not the hurricane which was re- ported off the Florida coast. The first knowledge of the Galveston storm was the report of a wind velocity of 48 miles an hour at Port Eads on Saturday evening.

High winds were also reported at Pas. Christian. The Port Eads storm, Dr. Frye thinks, was a distinct storm from that of Florida and was confined to tha gun. 1 Eighteen people were caught In the to reacn nis xamiiy wnom iminu wra alive In Galveston.
