Situation Good as Can he Expectation
Grander san Francisco.
OAKLAND, April 22.-The following state
ment was issued by Gov. Pardee to-day:
'The situation is as good as can be ex-
pected, considering the greatness OF the
calamity that has befallen us. The nation
and world are taking great interest in
our welfare and giving material and fnan-
cial aid.
Although 1 am conslde ring the adj
visibility of calling an extra session Of the
Legislature 1 don't see the especial need
Of it at the present time. What we need
especially is medical stores, clothing and
shelter for the refugees. or course food
will be needed In considerable quantities
for some time to come.
AN epidemic does not exist at present.
1t is not possible that there will be necessity
for ordering quarantine, The work OF
rebuilding San Francisco has commenced
and 1 expect to see the great metropolis
replaced on a much grander scale than
ever before"

The wharves are saved for the greater part.
1t Was possible to examine most OF the
burned over district yesterday. Nearly
all the bank vaults were intact. Bank
officials say that they will be ready to do
active business this week. WHAT they
fear now is a series Of runs, and they are
working with the best citizens to prevent
this. Gov. Pardee may extend the period
Of legal holidays, which lasts until d n
cay. Every report shows that the citizens
are determined to rebuild.
Life in the concentration camps goes on
much the same. There was a great deal
Of sickness caused by exposure and hard
ship. Gov. Pardee has informed Washing
ton that there are no signs of epidemics;
but Lieut.-Col. Corney, Chief Surgeon, told
Washington last night that a few isolated
cases Of smallpox. and scarlet fever had
come under his observation. TIT problem
lie still sanitation. Major McLvor Is rushing
work with all speed on the sanitary con-

The report that there has been friction
sstween Gen. Funston and Mayor Schmitz
lie pronounced by both a fake. Both have
tslegraphed Washington, and Mayor
schmitz says that the nation ought to be
congratulated Upon the possession OF such
oncers as Funston. The city govern

Meantime, the country continues to

OAKLAND, Cal, April 22.-The fire is
simply finishing up the corners of the city,
tomorrow everything should be cooling.
l made a personal inspection of the ruined
section to-day, paying particular attention
to the banks and the financial situation.
In a general way it may be said that from
Van Ness avenue eastward to the bay
everything is gone. West of Van Ness
avenue the city is burned in spots south
of the Western Addition, and it is said,
although l did not see this part myself,
that the Mission is gone all except a small
fringe.
1t is now .reported that; contrary to the
first news, the Cliff House Is safe and
that all of the ocean 'front.' escaped. There
is no more danger of fire unless the resi-
dents disobey the Mayors order and make
fires in their houses. There is not a safe
chimney in San Francisco.
Il would seem that the reports of deaths
in the earthquake are exaggerated. How
ever, about a hundred were shot by the
soldiers for looting and rioting and two
men were lynched for robbing stores. The
police and the troops are confscating
whiskey wherever they find it. On Friday
whiskey caused some of the soldiers to
20 on the warpath, but this is all stopped
now and the worst offenders are under
military arrest,
All day long the procession of refugees
making for the ferry to escape to aklan
continued. There was a corresponding
movement from Oakland to the country
districts, 80 that Oakland remains at about
the same population. The Elks, who are
maintaining a relief camp in Oakland, had
5000 guests. On Friday night they had
20 ask for an extra military guard. 1t is
estimated that there are $4,000 in the region
about the city dump and the unburned part
of the water front, and perhaps twice as
many n Golden Gate Park.
CONDITION OF H CITY.
Now as to the condition of the city. Mob
Hill, with it's stately mansions, is all RACED.
The Stanford mansion, the stately Mark
Hopkins Institute, home of he art school,;
the Huntington mansion, the Crocker
houses are all on the ground. The walls
of the Flood mansion stand, but 1t is a ruin.
The window frames and woodwork Of the
Paramount Hotel are burned and the white
walls are blackened, but it stands and is
little damaged. The wholesale district,
the downtown retail district, the banking
and insurance districts may be counted
of the map. or the clubs, the Cosmos, a
little out OF the centre OF town, is the only
one that remains,
BOHEMIAN CLUBS PICTURES AVE
The Bohemian Clubs servants, asleep
in the building when the shock came, got
back ahead Of the fire and saved its pict-
ures. which they cut from their frames.

epidemics that Major Frank Keesling, in
charge of Golden Gate Park, reported to-day
to Gen. Funston;

OF the city, and that from their estimates
he believes the lead will not exceed 800.
On the other hand, there come reports, as
yet unconfrmed, Of the discovery of 200
bodies in the Potrero district, south Of the
region where the earthquake was sup
posed to nave taken the most lives. Burial
Of the discovered dead in the Preside and
parks went on all day yesterday.

FUNSTON SOLVES LIQUOR PROBLEM.

FUNSTON Olives LIQUOR PROBLEM.
The reign Of order seems to be restored.
In the first place there is no more whiskey.
At last the supply is either drunk up, de-
stroyed in the fire or spilled. After the
small riot Of Friday, when some Of the SOL
diers got drunk, Gen. Funston got after
the liquor problem and his men broke
kegs and bottles like Carrie Nation.
Then with the end Of visible peril the
people are getting sane. The only really
exciting event of which we have heard to-
day was the outbreak Of drunken Japanese
drunken or ~crazy-who let out q yell,
jumped behind an automobile standing on
Market street, and began to shoot at the
crowd. A squad of soldiers returned the
fire and killed him before he hit any one.
All kinds of reports and estimates come
in concerning the loss Of life. We AVE been
saying all along that there must he many
dead bodies in the ruins of the Potrero dis
trict south of that fringe of Mission street
where most of the dead have been found
SO far. That region was searched to-day.
An unconflrmed report has it that the
troops found and burned 200 bodies. The
police found this afternoon the abandoned
body Of an infant in the middle of Dupont
street.

CHIEF SULLIVAN DEAD.

Two deaths OF yesterday have touched
the city profoundly. d. j. Sullivan, Chief
of the Fire Department, who was injured
by the earthquake, died at noon. He was
not in service during the fire, Of course,
but he was Chief Of those brave men who
fought SO hare against inevitable defeat,
and who are still fighting the very last of
the fire. His wife, who was sleeping by his
side when a cornice of the California Hotel
came through the roof above them, was
badly hurt, but will recover.
With the first news of the disaster Los
Angeles sent a corps of trained nurses in
charge Of DR.. Charles F.. Taggart. They
began work yesterday in a temporary
hospital at the Crooker Grammar School.
To-day an automatic revolver fell out of
DIR. Taggart's pocket, exploded and killed
him instantly.

CUSTOM HOUSE SAVED.

The custom house with its records was
saved. 1t was in one Of the little islands
which the fire passed by. All the city
records, which were in vaults of the City
Hall, will be saved. The City Hall fell, but
the ruins did not burn. By this bit Of
luck the city escapes great confusion in
property claims and adjustments. The
committee Of safety reports that the re-

BLIND BOSS BUCKLEY SAFE.

In the confusion Of Friday morning a
negro servant came down the steps Of an
old house on Rinoon Hill half carrying, half
leading an old blind man. The fire had
already started in that district. The negro,
who was old himself, led his charge about
for two hours before they found a place Of
safety in Columbia Square. There he was
recognized by the police as Buckley, the
Blind Boss" of San Francisco, who has
been in retirement for so many years that
the people have nearly forgotten him.
The advance guard of Eastern provision

from Nebraska. All trains, even the mails,
had been sidetracked to let it pass. Best
OF all, it brought thirty cars Of meat on the
hoof. We are meat hungry.

NEW CHINESE QUESTION.

There is a new Chinese question on hand.
For years the people have been trying to
find some way Of getting Chinatown away
from the foot Of Mob Hill. Their district
was close to the downtown business houses ,
which we're growing out in that direction,
and it was a fine site. But to get people to
build there it was necessary to get all the
Chinese to move at once.
Now they are removed; yet a new ques-
ton presents itself. Where are they to b
sent2 They will insist on living somewhere
in easy reach of the centre Of tow and no
one outside Of the suburbs will let any prop
erty to Chinese. Once there was a PROPOSE
ton to put them away out by Lake MERGED,
but tho Chinese merchants, who are rich
enough to make themselves heard, objected
and their objection had to be sustained.
So many have been the rumors about

MARRIAGES GO ON.

The license clerk at the City Hall rescued
the marriage license blanks on Friday
and Saturday and to-day there were a lot
Of weddings. Most of the couples ex-
planned to him that they were betrothed
before the earthquake, and thought that
in the emergency they would get along
better married than single.
Then $4OO, 900 was emphatically refused
for a piece Of property on Market street,
worth but little more than that before the
earthquake.
Bank officials say that with one or two
exceptions all vaults are intact and there
will be no great loss Of specie or securities,
The treasure vaults of the auditor, the tax
collector and the city treasurer in City Hall
are not damaged. In the vaults Of the
treasurer is about 100000.
