The others are aafe In Galveston, having been carried Into the city by Captain Olsen In the United States engineering bureau's launch, the Victoria. The Ban Jacinto is aground at Red Fish reef and her crew Is safe and most of them are still aboard. Both dreges will be floated within a few days and ready for service again soon. This Is the report of Captain H. Tiarks, owifer and manager of the Sunflower line of Galveston, who arrived In Houston late Thursday night, after having left Galveston at 2 Jt'clock Thursday afternoon, coming via Dickinson.

He reported that he met Captain Olsen personally and had been assured that all men on the Sam. Houston were safe and Recorder Matthews of the San Jacinto gave him the Information about the crew of that dredge. Captain Olsen was In Galveston during the storm, but went out Wednesday In the launch Victoria In search of his boat and found her at San Leon with her housing and cablna all Intact and above water. The part of the crew left on the boat are doing their own cooking, having plenty of supplies, and the others Captain Olsen took to Gal veston with him to make arrangements for pumping the water out of the dredge and pulling her off the ground.

on board about 8( people, among them many colored laborers, besides the crew. Captain Tiarks. who made a special In vestigation of the shipping situation, reported numerous other boats and their crews not so fortunate. The dredge Houston turned turtle in the Texas City channel and only four men who were abdhrd have been found alive. Three of them came to the 'office of The Post Wednesday night.

There were about 56 in the crew and it Is said they clung to the boat as long as they could, dropping off one by one. DREDGE SAN BERNARD WENT TO PIECES.

Fred Simplch, American consul Vt Nogales, Sonora, received Information today that C. E. Cates. an assistant superintendent of the Southern Pacific railroad of Mexico, and two other Americans had been made prisoners by Corrmnsa forces which captured Imuls last Tuesday. A demand waa made for their release.

The men taken prisoners with Cates were a conductor named Hamm and an engineer named Miller.

The work of cleaning up la under way. The soldiers continue to patrol tha streets and are on guard about pubMo buildings.

A considerable number of tha people who were visiting here before tha storm are now getting out and to some extent this la a relief. There is no famine here, but the water supply is short and the bread la short because considerable flour was damaged and destroyed by water. Therefore every meal served is that much leas for those whose homes are here and who are eu-fgaged In repairing the damage done. NEED OF BREAD 'A IS HARD TO FILL.

The principal reason for declaring cotton contraband ia that It is one of the principal sources of smokeless powder.

Since the wind and waves and driving storm ceased to threaten Galveston there haa been almost a continuous downpour of rain. This ts a blessing in a way, as It washes away the filth with which the storm had filled the streets, alleys and yards.

A A narrow escape, which was the result of a daring feat, was the good luck of a cook on the fishing smack Thomas Car-roll, which put Into port with 9000 pounds of fish on board the day before the hurri- cane. During the storm the fisherman' broke loose from her moorings and drift- ed down the channel and after striking pier 27, sank.

The cook climbed up the rigging to the masthead and by good fortune another ship was floating by and- he vaulted from the masthead on to the stern of the steamer, which proved to be one of those aground In Campbell's The cook was reported lost at first, he showed up later In Galveston. Captain Tiarks stated that when ha left GalveHton at 2 o'clock Thursday aft- -ernoon work was progressing rapidly in cleaning up the streets and in repairing damaged buildings In the business district, and in a day or two the business section will resume its normal appear ance. Galveston people have gone to work to build a greater city and their contl- dence and courage Is universal throughout the city.

In a letter addressed to Mayor Ben Campbell Thursday Ma.ior General J. K. Bell, in charge of Texas City, urges that the travel of people from Houston to Texas City and Galveston be prohibited unless thev are concerned in the welfare of relatives In either city. The letter follows: Colonel H.

B. Moore of this city showed me a letter he had addressed to you concerning the travel of persons an no special business between Houston and Galveston In both directions. On the score of humanity, no one can possibly object to aiding persons concerned for the welfare of their families or their business, no matter where located, hut In addition to such persons traveling on legitimate business highways and railways have been crowded with persona Inspired by nothing more Important than curiosity to see what damage had been done at Galveston and Texas City. Under conditions now prevailing at both places such persons are a serious nuisance and I wish to supplement Colonel Moore's request that all unnecessary travel between Houston and Galveston and Texas City be discouraged. Automobiles can not cross the bridges on wagon roads over Clear creek and Dickinson bayou and must necessarily travel over the right-of-way of the International and Great Northern and over railway bridges spanning those streams.

Thev become 'a serious menace to life and cause great delay In railway traffic. I am reliably Informed ill at the civil authorities of Galveston are refusing to permit all persons coming there without valid excuse to land. They ara turned back on the same boats that take them there and are landed at the docks in Texas City. It Is utterly impossible to handle such crowds with our facilities under prevailing conditions. There are no accommodations nor is there food sufficient in Texas City to care for them.

Today they accumulated by the hundreds on the docks at Texaa City and were unable to get away In any direction for lack of facilities. They can not poa-aibly 1e permitted at the present time to stop In Texas City. Please advise all persons in your community not to come to Galveston 'at the present time unless under urgent necessity to do so. They are sure to subject themselves to serious discomfort If not hardshio in their effort to make journey. Jrhe civil authorities here declared martial law and have requested me to enforce it and have, urged restrictive measures on -travel, which I have been unwilling to adopt thus far, bnt unlesa people Cease traveling without urgent necessity I shall be compelled to enforce restrictive orders.
