The water situation, while causing
inconvenience to the public, is no
longer such a problem. About two
thirds of the remaining section of the
city is being supplied with sufficient
water for the pressing domestic needs.
hut, of course, there is not yet enough
to be had for fire fighting purposes
Because of this fact the most string
ent orders have been issued by the
military and civil police that no fires
shall be built within any house, and
TO lights, not even a candle light, can
be shown at night IN the houses. All
cooking for the present must be done
On the sidewalks or in the open streets
and in the daylight.
One of the noteworthy features Of
the situation is the remarkable
promptness with which the work Of
Systematically caring for the homeless
has been thoroughly organized and put
into operation. The fear that existed
two days ago that the immense task
CT caring for the destitute and help
less people could not be organized
quick enough to save hundreds from
hunger and possible epidemic exists
no longer.

fairs is progressing most harmonious.

Many citizens have reported many

IN HANDS OF THE U. S. ARMY.
Task of Receiving and Distributing
Supplies.

At a conference of Governor Pardee,
General Funston and Mayor Schmitz
at Fort Mason. it was agreed that
all supplies SEN to the city from
interior points for the relief of the
homeless will be placed in the hands
Of the federal authorities and dis
tributed under the direction of General
Funston and under the immediate con-
troll of Major Duval. A depot for the
receipt of supplies was established
at the Oakland mole which will be
under the direction of Major Duval
Of General Funston's staff.
There was perfect harmony at the
conference and an earnest desire on
the part of everyone to cooperate to
the fullest extent in order that the
relief work might be carried out with.
out friction or confusion. This con-
ference has served to clear the atmos.

STEEL BLOCKS LEFT STANDING.
Flames Ruin What the Earthquake
Fails to Do.

FdilS 70 IT,
A trip through the burned districts
Of San Francisco revealed a scene o.
unspeakable desolation.
From many points on Market street
as far as the eye could reach in any
direction there was nothing but skele
ton walls and smoldering ruins.
II should be borne In mind that San
Francisco was not destroyed by the
earthquake.
While old buildings in that part OF
the city which stood on made" ground
east of Montgomery street, and some
Of that district lying south of Market
street. il is true. suffered from the
shock. it was fire that wrought the
great devastation and wiped out the
entire business section and probably
half Of the residence section of the
city.
The great modern steel structures
were practically uninjured by the
earthquake except for cracked walls
and displaced plaster. All these great
structures. of course, we're subsequent
~ ruined by the flames, so far as the
interior is concerned, but the walls are
in most cases intact.
The most notable cases Of practical
immunity from the shock were the st.
Francis hotel, the Spreckels building
the Chronicle building and score Of
other modern structures.
The branch of the United States
mint and the new p~ostofice at Sew
Cnth and Mission streets, are striking
examples of the superiority OF the
v orkmanship put into federal build
The old mint building surround
ed by a wide space of pavement, was
absolutely unframed. Not even the
palm trees which stand on either
side of it's broad entrance were with
cred by the flames that devoured
everything around it. The new post
office building also was virtually I'M
damaged by fire.
The shock did some damage to the
entrance to the building. The walls
ire uninjured. Every window pane,
If course, is gone, as they are in al
most every building in town, but the
government win be able to resume
POSTAL business Immediately. The
hotel, which is seriously
damaged in the interior, is left intact
e to the walls and the management

ire to house the homeless or store |

the civilized world. From every city
and town in this country, from Euro
pean capitals and come far east com
munlties comes news that all huma
nifty in expressing its sympathy is also
offering enormous material assist
ance.
1t is estimated Sunday night that
the San Francisco relief fund is
rapidly nearing the total of 100000
0O0, and will have passed that figure
by Monday when the United States
congress-, 1t is announced, will add
81 100000 to the 5 $1,000, 900 already
appropriated.
In the list of generous contributors
New York city ranks next to the gov
eminent itself and bids fair to far eX-
coed the federal contribution. Tonight
the New York fund amounted to ap-
proximately $4,000. 900, with contribu-
tons coming in fast.
The state Of Massachusetts has I'M
dertaken to raise $4,000, 900, and with
Boston's generous help is well on the
way to the goal. C~hicago's fund is ap-
preaching 81 o 900, and promises TO
go beyond that sum. Philadelphia will
send $500, 900. A score or more cities
are contributing 100000.
Portland will probably raise close to
3250,000, Pittsburg has given 800 900,
Cleveland 500, 900, st. Louis 5000, 600,
Sacramento S100, 900, and Seattle $40,-
600 already, with much more in sight.
Nor is the work or raising relief
funds confined to the large cities.
From every section, every state comes
the new of contributions made by
small towns. Not large in themselves,
their aggregate will be enormous.
Uncounted thousands are sending
contributions, and the grand total of
TIE relief fund will probably never be
known. Across the sea in London,

congregate, a generous inflow of gold
