circumstances four days ago. The

Business Men Are Alert.
A tour of the burned district, except
ing portions that are impossible, re-
veals appalling conditions. The
stencil from escaping gas is overpow-
ering, yet is braved by hundreds of
business men who are bent on ascer-
tanning the condition of the buildings
which they occupied and planning for
the resumption of trade at the first OPP
portunity. Every incoming train
brings these eager-eyed men to the
city from surrounding towns in which
they took refuge.
Chinatown is no more, and it is
doubtful whether it will ever be re-
suscitated in the picturesque form
which attracted so many thous ands
of visitors each year. What was
Chinatown is now a lot of holes in the
ground, which may be aptly compared
to rabbit warrens. Not a stick of the
fiimsy timber which Sheltered the
largest Chinese colony in the United
States remains upright. Even the
ashes have Deen swept away by the
strong winds, and the ground looks as
bare as though it had been scraped.
Many Die from Hardships.
The care of the dead and dying is
becoming more serious problem than
before. Many deaths are occurring In
the camps among the women and chill
dren whose frail constitutions could
not Withstand the exposure. The dead
that have been taken from the ruins
are being buried in the bay and in
trenches, and the work of burial is
often being done under compulsion.
Citizens have been forced by soldiers
to help in the digging of trenches, so
| imperative is the necessity of remov-
| ing the corpses and avoiding possible
epidemics. The revolver and rifle are
also being used to compel men to work
in the ruins.
The work of relief Is being rer-
formed on a tremendous scale, and II
is improving every hour in efficiency.
Mayor Schmitz's orders TO break open
all stores where food may be found
have been carried out in scores of in

milk were distributed among the
women and children, boon that
came at the critical moment in the
lives of thousands of children.
Church Services in Open Air.
For the first time in nearly eco
years, the church bells did not call the
people to worship. Most of the
churches have been converted into
rubbish heaps by earthquake and fire.

The effect of the victory was in

and to none more than the homeless

as the only place of refuge and avenue
of escape from the burning city.
1t relieved the nervous tension of
thousands who were ready to succumb

wave of optimism surging all over
the city and made the skies look
bright even through the pail of smoke

that of powerful tonic administered

These tent cities, which are scat

flames failed to work their rage, are
the repositories for mountains of
household goods. Unfortunate, indeed,
was the man or woman who failed to
carry away from his blazing home
some OF those household treasures

Stern measures have saved the des-
olated city from disorder and law

Funston to shoot anyone caught in the

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent
physician, for an obstinate case OF
eczema, resorted to the Cuticura
Remedies, and was so well pleased
with the almost instantaneous relief
afforded that we discarded the physi-
clans prescription and relied entirely
on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura ONT

City a Vast Ash Heap.

given TO the once beautiful city than
that of vast ash heap. Desola ion

great camps in which over 200,000 men,
women and children are patiently
waiting until they can say they have

under martial rule with an uncom-

ships which they never dreamed of,
yet without a murmur.

The few still standing were filled with

But there were religious services

spaces where the homeless are camp
ing in tents and under trees-services
of thankfulness that so many were
saved where so many were in peril and
of gratitude for the generosity of a ma

and SO promptly to avert a famine.
Fire Burned Itself Out.
AS to the fire it has practically
burned itself out. A journey along the
northern water front showed fires
blazing in only two places and these
were hardly capable of spreading un-
less a severe gale springs up.
The walls of several of the ruined
buildings in the downtown section of
the city collapsed, but no one was in
jured. The tower on the Hall of JUS
tice in Kearney street still retains its
upright position, despite the fact tn It
but one small corner of the structure
bears the immense weight of steel and
granite.
Several walls are in imminent dan
ger of topping over and must be torn
down.
Damage on Water Front.
A survey of the water front from a
tug showed that everything except
four docks had been swept c.ean from
Fisherman's wharf, at the foot of
Powell street, to a point around west
erly, almost to the Ferry bdilding.
This means that nearly a mile of
grain sheds, docks and wharves have
been added to the general destruction.
The fire was still burning at the foot
of Powell street, but there was no
possibility of it going into the Preside
district.

Washington, April 23.-The loss of

superintendent of the Mint Leach. The
telegram is dated at Oakland Saturday
and is as follows:

Many Cities Suffer.
Further details of the havoc wrought
by the earthquake in California towns

magnitude of the disaster.
Santa Rosa's business district was
almost entirely destroyed. Money
practically has no value in the town,
as there is no place to spend it. Prob

the inhabitants are sleeping out of
