SAN FRANolsoo, July 26.
The crowd has mostly dispersed and the
fire is under control. The police and citi-
zens are ulaster0 If the situation. The fire
alarm from the corner of Mission and
| Stewart streets was unfounded. The fire
near the Mail dock was incendiary, the in
tention being to involve the company's
property. On the arrival of the first de-
| tschment of citizens crowd of 10, 900 had
gathered. The wharves and lumber and
| coal yards where the fire was raging were
surrounded on the land eide by a fence run
| ming near the bottom of steep hill. On
the top of the hill the crowd ascended,
while portion attempted to set fire to the
fence. The police and citizens attempted
| to drive them off aud received shower
of stones from the hill. The hill was
then stormed, and the mob began
firing pistols. The force answered
with a volley, and, getting to close
quarters, ufed clubs. A young man,
note-teller in the London and San Fran
cisco bank, fell, probably fatally wounded /;
another citizen is reported shot dead, and
a great many are wounded. 1t is impossl-
BILE to ascertain the loss of the rioters. Sew
eral are reported killed and wounded At
least 100 shots were fired into the mob.
This broke their courage. Many were cap
tured and manacled by long chain
stretched in front of the Mail dock, for
present safe keeping. Several cannon are
planted to command the entrance to the
Mail dock. Meantime the fire burned an
immense quantity of lumber. The ships
at the wharf were hurriedly towed to safe
ty. The hremen after the first outbreak,
worked with only slight hindrance to the
driver of the hose cart. No one is reported
shot dead by the mob. After the mob had
been dispersed, portion gathered near the
Grand and Palace hotels, some penetrating
into Kearney street, where they were driver
back to Market street, while another de
tachment of police marched along Mont
gomery street, aud taking the crowd be
tween them punished them severely anC
scattered them. At present the mol
seems to be roaming in small gang
south of Market street, closely watched
by the police and citizens. Al
anti-coolie meeting was held early IL
the evening five to eighteen hundred pres
ent. The u,ielances from the stand and b.
' the crowd were most incendiary. Threat
