San Francisco, April 21.-7-With the
confagration under control and rel!ef
measures progressing as satisfactorily
as could be expected in such chaos,
thoughts are. now turning to the dead,
buried in the ruins in several quarters
Of the city. Gruesome discoveries have
been made already and each new
building entered, especially in the
lodging -house district, has it's dead.
In many cases scores of half-burned
corpses, partly decomposed, are found
in heaps and the discoveries Of single
bones or skulls of bodies, the other
parts of which were incinerated, are
frequent.
1875 Perished Together.
From the ruins Of a three-story
lodging house at Fifth and Mlnna
streets over seventy-fve corpses have
been taken. Fifty others are exposed.
This building was one Of the first to
take fire on Fifth street. At least 100
persons were lost in the Cosmopolitan
on Fourth street.

is occupied and running. :.
The shot tower at First and Howard
streets is gone. This landmark was
built forty years ago. The Risdon, iron

ORDER COMES OUT OF CHAOS
Hungry Are Fed and Dangers Lessasd
but the Suffering Is Still Acute.

Mayor Schmitz has issued the follow
ing proclamation, which citizens are
instructed to obey:
Warns Against Pestilence.
"Do not be afraid of famine. There
will be abundance of food supplied.
Do not use any water except for drink
ing and cooking purposes. Do not light
any fires in houses, stoves or freplaces.
Do not use any house closets under any
circumstances, but dig earth closets in
yards or vacant closets using, if posi-
BILE, chloride of lime or some other dis
infectant. This is of the greatest inn
portance, as the water supply is only
sufficient for drinking and cooking.
Do not allow any garbage to remain on
the premises, bury it and cover i'm
mediately. Pestilence can only be
avoided by complying with these regu-
lations
You are particularly requested not
to enter any business house or dwell
ing except your own, as you may be
mistaken for one of the hooters and

CHRISTMAS GIFTS
FOR OCEAN MAIL

The Postmaster requests that persons
desiring TO send Christmas mail to the
mainland, whether registered or or
binary, deposit same in postofiee at
earliest day possible, to insure prompt
dispatch. 1t should be remembered
that registered mails close in advance
of ordinary mails.
The Nippon Maru will be the first
boat to follow the Alameda, and will
probably sail fer San Francisco, Mon
day. December 10.
The Sonoma, scheduled to sail De-
cember IL, will be the last regular
steamer to carry registered mails to
reach offices on the mainland before
Christmas day. The Aorangi, sched-
uIed to sail December II, to Victoria,
B. c., will probably take ordinary mail
for United States offices.
