Washington, April 27.-Secretary
Netcaf today reported by telegraph
10 President Roosevelt, the result OF
his inspection Of the damage done
and the situation at San Francisco. He
SAYS the loss of life would be as great
as anticipated. II will be impossible
10 determine the exact number killed,
but a conservative estimate places
the number not above three hundred.
Not more than four hundred are SER
iOusly injured at the hospitals. There
Is no necessity al present for addi-
tional doctors or nurses.
Regarding commercial losses, he
SAYS the conditions are appalling. The
business and Industrial establishments
Of half a million people have disap-
peared, leaving them destitute and
The complicated means of transpOTta-
ton indispensable TO daily comfort Of
half a million people are totally des-
trOyed. The entire telegraph and
telephone systems are destroyed and
practically every municipal building
gone.
The citizens committee, including
almost all bus ness men in the city
is working tremendously. and has
speedily brought order from chaos
and sanitation is receiving special at
tentiOn
The Notifications are practically
Uninjured but there is some damage to
the buildings at the Preside. The
mint and appraisers buildings are
practically intact, but the sub-treas-
ury Is entirely destroyed. Opinions
differ as TO the amount Of injury 10
the p0stOfice. It is not believed the
vaults Of the sUb-treasury or any of
the banking institutions suffered ma
ter al damage.
The secretary believes the postof-
fee will require five hundred thous-
and dollars for repairs and the mint
fifteen thousand.
Secretary Metcaf learns there has
been no discrimination in rendering
aid on account of race or color.
Cases Of crime and violence are eX-
tremely rare and the health of the
city is remarkably good, the stories of
pestilence and epidemic being without
foundation.
Ine secretary strongly urges that
congress at once appropriate a sufi-
Gent sum to repair the damages to the
public buildings and rebuild the sub
treasury. He viii inspect the damage
done In other parts of the state and

Entitled to Exemptions.

The case of NJ. A. Chambers versus
the Consolidated Grocery Company
and Welles-Kahn Company, termin-
a;ed in a verdict, practically in favor
of the complainant. 1t will be re-
that Chambers, through
his attorney, F. w. Marsh, fileI a
petition asking that injunctiOns be
issued against respondents restrain
ing them from issuing garnishments
against him, claiming exemptions as
the head of a family in Florida. The
point in question is that Chambers
resides on the naval reservation and
it was questionable whether or not
lee could claim the exemption he
asked. This was settled by an Opin-
ion of Judge Carter, who ruled that
Chambers was entitled to exemption
as the head Of a family under the
laws of Florida The case has been
withdrawn and the cause amicably
settled.

CRATER"
In reply to Mr.. Burr's charga MrlBry-
an sends The Journal the following:
Chipley, Fla, April 26, 1906.
Editor Pensacola journal:
1 have no desire to aid in the free
advertising Of one who has totally
failed to discharge his duty to West
Florida as a Railroad Commissioner,
and who, now scared to his wits ends
for fear he will be retired to the
shades of private life, resorts to the
contemplate methods Of trying to be
smirch the good name of a fellow citi-
zen, and if possible, even at the sacri-
fee OF every confidence, ride into Of
fee.
It is not what I have said in the
correspondence cited that raises the
blood of the Railroad Commissioner,
but il is his all-cOnsuming desire to
pose as the friend of the people when
he has not been Of any service to or
shown the interest in Washington
county and West Florida that he
should have shown, and he wants the
few votes of my political enemies. He
well knows that his TRADE against me
will be a sweet mOrsal under their
tongues. He also knows that men can
not and will not lay down their bus
mess and serve on committees, carry
ballot boxes, conduct primary cleo
tons, distribute literature, post hand
bills, hand out platforms. even rail-
road commissioners platforms, for
naught. We pay for these services ,
We are not. trying to buy votes, either, .
as he so laboriously tries to make IL
appear.
AS for Mr.. Burr's denunciation OF
me, 1 am quite as competent to de-
nOunce him as he is me, and awaiting
him at Tallahassee Is my opinion OF
the wOuld-appear-toIbe tHigh-and-Holy
Railroad Commissioner.

As for the charge he makes that l
am a CRATER" it is an unfOunded, I'M
qualified untruth for which he is Who'll
~ responsible. His efforts to get
votes by these methods will react
upon his own head Not even my

since they read the character OF the
