Galveston, Tex., Sept 18.—-The work
of clearing theglEfeta of debrla and
wreckage is progressing steudily and
with systematic rapidity. The military
authorities have gradually perfected I
the system and divided the labors so
that there is comparatively no lnter-|
ruption or delay in the gigantic under- j
taking.
The reports filed at Gen. Scurry'* t
headquarters up to 9 o'clock M(MMlSy|
night reported the recovery and d #% |
sit Ion of but forty-five bodies A
reporter, who made the rounds, of
about twenty gangs in charge of !
moving debris, ucted the finding of 184;
bodies of men. women and childldtt.j
and this report is known to be incom* j
plete for the day's work. .
Up to date rt'porters have noted the
finding of 1763 bodies snd their dis-
position. 3even hundred of them were
carried to sea and buried. 1063 bodies'
were either interred orJ consigned to
the pyre, and yet it is certain that at
least a few hundred more bodies have
been found and buried and not re-
ported. ,
