'FRIsCO's EARTHQUAKE.
Naval Hospital Wrecked and Navy
Yard Badly Damaged.

San Francisco. March 31.-This city and
a portion of the state were shaken at II :4S
o'clock last night by the most severe earth
quake experienced here since 1863 when
several persons were killed. This time,
however, no fatalities have been reported,
although there were several narrow es-
capes.
Vallejo and Mare Island suffered most
damage. The naval hospital was wreck

down.
Work has been shut down in the navy

capped damage.

CLIFTON TAKES HIS OFFICE.

Atlanta, Ga, March 31.-Hon. William
Clifton, who was appointed Secretary of
State, by Gov. Atkinson to fill out the I'M

LOOKING AHEAD.
Some Things which the President

From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Washington, March 29-President NC
Kinley talked with number of inHuen-
tial New Workers to-day. 1t was apparentz
to them that the President believes that
the situation is rapidly becoming serious,
If not critical. The utter refusal of the
Cuban junta in New York to entertain any
proposition looking toward an armistlce
and the rising tide of public sentiment in
the United States In favor of Cuban in
dependence are the two pronounced fac
tors which have deeply impressed the
President. Nevertheless the President in
slsts that every reasonable and honorable
step should be taken to avert war. He
believes that the negotiations for a more
liberal scheme of autonomy in Cuba
should be allowed to proceed. He believes
implicitly in the good faith of the Queen
Regent of Spain and of Premier Sagasta
and the Spanish Minister at Washington,
Senior Polo.
The Presidents chief advisers are stand
ing solidly at his back and are sustaining
him in his efforts to maintain peace with
honor One of the Presidents closest
friends and advisers said tonight;
President Mckinley should not be I'M
derstood to favor a peace-at-any-price
policy. This is not his attitude at all. He
finds two questions confronting him, one
relative to the destruction of the Maine,
the other to the war in Cuba, and espe-
cially to the barbarous manner in which
the Spaniards are conducting it. He rec
ognzes and appreciates the intensity of
public feeling upon the situation as a
whole and he has precisely the same i'm
pulses that are so active among the peo-
pie.
But in the very nature of things he is
bound to look ahead. He sees that with
our long Atlantic and Cur coast line,
nearly 5000 miles in length, with half
hundred American cities Offering points of
attack even a third-rate power could in
hlct tremendous damage to American lives
and property. He perceives, indeed, that
Spanish fleet well placed for three hours
could do more damage to us than we could
return il we were TO tow out the Spanish
fiotilla and sink it in the sea. So that in
the first place, if we are going to have
war it is his purpose to be as thoroughly
prepared for war as is humanity possible.
This action taken, he looks ahead to
that result of the war which Is bound to
come from the final and inevitable success
of American arms. Ii means a new for
eign policy. 1t means a sort of RESPONSE
bity for Cuba that must end in a protec-
torate or In annexation. This involves the
introduction into American politics of new
problems so serious and complicated as to
cause 80 little anxiety to a President who
does not want to go into history as the
author of an unnecessary war out of which
flowed an infinity of troublesome conditions
far outlasting his time.
