Most Severe Since 1868.
San Francisco Cal, March 31.-This
city and Il portion of the State We're
shaken at 11:43 last night by the most
severe earthquake experienced here
since 1868. when several persons were
killed. This time, however. no fatalities
have been reported, although there were
several narrow escapes. Vallejo AMI
Mare Island suffered much damage.
The Naval Hospital was wrecked and
the government saw-mill blown down.
Work has shut down III the Navy Yard
temporarily and the LOO employees are
idle. Only two of the buildings escaped
damage.
After the Board of Survey had made
a partial examination of the state of af-
fairs Mt the Mare Island Navy Yard to-
day it was announced that the damage
sustained by last nights tremble had
been somewhat exaggerated While the
survey has not yet been completed the
board is of the opinion that the damage
will not exceed $150.000. Work has
however. been discontinued and i'm all
probability will not be resumed for sew
eral days. The cruiser Charleston. which
is in dry dock. did not sustain any mate
rial damage, although the bilge blocks
upon which she rested were disturbed
and will have to be reset In Vallejo,
nearby, the damage was widespread. The
city hall. public schools. and st. Vim
cents School suffered more than any
others. Several small fires added to the
excitement. FIVE lamps being overturned
