The adjutant general reports to ttov, Sayers alter vis iting Ualveston as follows; ''1 am convinced . that Galveston fractica4Iy ruined, forever. Fully three ourths of the business portion of the city is irreparably demolished. All the resl dences are damaged to at least some . ex tent." General Manager Vick of the Southern i'aciuc railway has returned from Ual veston and be says that the damage is fully 80 per cent. He expects to rebuild the bridge across to Galveston and run trains into the oity In 40 days. Iteports of death and , destruction are coming in from along the coast. Also the same reports' are coming in from many inland towns. . 4 , The coast for miles is covered ' with dead bodies. One man buried 100 bodies near Virginia Point.

Tne situation among tne ruins ana where bodies lie seems to be - beyond the control of the authorities. Uobbery and mutilation of the dead was so common last night that . 14 negroes and two whites were caught in the act. They were shot dead in their tracks by the soldiers and citizens on guard. This makes 06 of the creatures that have been shot for their horrible vandalism. One wretch was ' found 'with pockets filled with fingers covered with rings which he had cut off. . 1 BODIES SWEPT BACK. Burylnff the Dead at Sea Makes the Situation Worse. Houston. Tex., Sent. 12. All attempts at burying the dead at Galveston have been utterly abandoned, and bodies are now being disposed of in the swiftest manner possible. Scores of them were taken out to sea and thrown overboard. The safety of the living is now the para mount question, and nothing that will will tend to prevent the outbreak of an awful pestilence is being nesrlected. This morning it was found that large numbers of the bodies, which bad been previously thrown in the ; bay were washed back upon the shore, and tne situation was tbns rendered worse than before they were first, taken in the barges and thrown into the water. It will now never be known how many have lost their lives in this awful catastrophe. Es timates run all the- way from 5,000 to 10.000. r No list of the dead has been kept and t will be utterly impossible to formulate one from now on.: , ; Won Cla Retort.
