WRECK AND RUIN.

San Francisco Harbor the Scene of Sc
we're Storm, Revealing that of 1S74-TwO
Hundred Thousand Dollars Worth of
Damage Done to Shipping and Property
Along the Water Front-The Bay Filled
with Wreekage.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 11.-Not since
1874, when a severe norther caused
thousands of dollars damage to ship
ping. port and to the city's dock, has a
worse gale swept over the bay than
that which sprsng up at midnight
Wednesday night. The wind blew
steadily from the north until three
o'clock yesterday morning, causing
ships in the stream to drag their
anchors and those at the piers to wear
their sides against moving piles, carry
ing away rails and not only damaging
themselves but the states frontage
property.
The coasting steamer Eureka lies on
the bottom of the harbor. Her main
deck is awash, and it will cost several
thousand dollars to raise her Hun
dreds of people crowded about the
Broadway bulkhead yesterday after
noon and gazed at the strange sight of
wrecked passenger vessel within a
stones throw of Market street. The
gale subsidized into a brisk northwest
breeze by seven o'clock in the morning,
but it left pretty good sea running.
The early ferryboats had hard time
steering against the wind and tide, and
many of the passengers suffered from
NAL de mer.
The bay was filed with wreckage of
docks, scows, schooners, derricls and
RATS. The wharves were shaken to
their foundation of terdos and pipe
stem piles. Mooring piles were torn
loose and iron mooring bits had about
as much effect in holding ships at
north end wharves as would ten-penny
nails.
The damage along the front, from
Howard street, north, will amount in
round figures, including damage to
shipping, to 5000. 900.

NATURES TOUCH.

The touch of nature which makes us kin was observed in a Lighthouse Point audience yesterday during the musical act of the Luciers. A brother had led the celebrated blind musical genius, the elder Lucier, to his place on the stage at the right, when the latter turned his head suddenly to the extreme right, where the afternoon sun shed a flood of light The sightless eyes could detect this much, and, quick as the movement was, it did not escape man in the crowd who had enjoyed their previous musical act, and from whose eye tear suddenly started. Whether it was the pathos of the music reviving some ten der memory or the sympathetic touch for the blind mans infirmity, or a mix ture of both, is not known, but it seem- ed good to witness. The entire audi ence was enjoyably moved by the ''con- cord of sweet sounds of this famous quartette, as was evidenced by the hearty applause betimes.
 The entire programme at the Light house Point theater this week is good. The luxury of the open air theater un- der the trees will soon be gone for this season. Make the best of the short time remaining and enjoy the Point enter tainerS.

mittee, besieging the members of our party with invitations to dinner. Gen. eral Stone finally accepted the invita- tion of rich Englishman, who had lived there fifty-four years His chill dren spoke nothing but Spanish, and the old gentleman was so delighted that he could himself still speak English that he would not take no foS an an- sWer.
 q was afraid I had forgotten my na- tive tongue" said he, speaking slowly and as if groping for his words. "Of course I read English books, but no one here speaks English and the words sound strange to me. It is like mem- ory of a former existence to hear you talk But, oh so pleasant to the ear. I has come at last"
 The correspondents insisted upon go- ing to the hotel, taking with them half dozen natives, who had been particular ly pressing in their invitations, and we had dinner with half of the town at the doors and windows. Our guests wanted to drink our healths at every pause in the conversation and several times dur ing each of the courses. They appeared intensely grieved when we declined to sample all the different kinds of wine they offered.
 After we had finished the natives be- gan to show alarm. They had supposed that many troops were just behind us. Two hundred Spaniards here retreated through the town in the morning, and the natives feared they would return. We informed them that our troops would be up in an hour or more, all though we knew they were miles be- hind After a council of war General Stone decided to suggest gently to the natives the advisability of their main- taining line of outposts around the city, pending the arrival of our troops. This they readily agreed to do, while we arranged our sleeping quarters, so that, if the necessity arose, our little force would be able to make at least a show of resistance.
 r But the enemy did not appear. The people remained in the streets and the open-air cafes about the plaza until the morning, singing and making merry. Several times crowds came under our windows and they awoke us with cheers. When we returned the next day we were charged $45 for the trip, but it was worth the money.
 AS to the genuine joy of the native inhabitants over our coming there can be no doubt, and when this island is ours we will possess one of the garden spots of the globe. Columbus spoke truly when he said in 1495 that it was an earthly paradise. From the ocean the island looks like sea of hills. The rough mountainous country is in the center, the main chain, the Cayey Mountains, extending across it from east and west Another chain. the Yuguilla Mountains, runs from Cape San Juan to Precibo, but the foothills are all laced with little streams running through broad savanrahs that would make the heart of an American farmer throb with pleasure.
 The soil is a rich, deep loam, and the mountain rocks are mostly limestone. Sugar plantation in the bottom lands and cocoanut and coffee plantations on | the hills greet the eye everywhere.
