partment has we'll nigh abandon
ed all efforts to save property.
There is not a stick of dynamite
left in the city. 1t is feared that
the fire will not stop until the
entire city is consumed. Every
moment fires break out in fresh
places. This morning there was
a renewal of earthquake shocks,
adding to the horrifying terror.
People are being sent from
San Francisco as fast as boats
can carry them. Over 100000
are homeless and the list is in
creasing. The death list is APP
palling and there is no way of
calculating the loss of life. In
both San Francisco and Oakland
people are suffering for want of
water. There is none in the
mains and great suffering exists.
Martial law still continues and
no one is allowed to cross the

between Benicia and Susun is
sunk four feet or more. The
Tono?ah express, which left
Reno for San Francisco Tuesday
night, was due on Susun marsh
a few minutes before the earth
quake, which would haye% sent
the train into the marsh, result
ing in death either by drowning
or wrecking. The people of
Reno are trying to get in a spe-
cial train to San Francisco, in
order to rescue the hundreds
from that city and vicinity who
are there on business and pleas
ure. The total area affected by
the earthquake has not been de-
termined. Communication with
the stricken district is still prac-
tically closed. Reports from
San Jose indicate a severe shock.
Buildings have been demolished
with a great loss of life and
property. Word comes from
Tracy that scarcely whole

San Francisco was completely cut
off from the world all day, and

spread into the Mob Hill section,
where are located fine residences,
including the Crocker and Hunting
ton mansions. The fire is burning
very rapidly into the residential sec
tions, and it is feared the entire city
is doomed.
To add to the horror, the store of
dynamite is giving out. The rail
way supply is exhausted and every
pound has been removed from the
Government Arsenal. No one is
permitted to enter the burning por-
ton of the city. The military is in
charge, and persons caught stealing
are instantly shot. Three persons
caught stealing last night, were dis
patched by the soldiers.
The city of Santa Rosa, about
so miles north of San Francisco,
the capitol of Sonoma county, was
included in the shock, and not a
brick or stone build ing is standing,
and the entire devastated area has
been burned over. Dead bodies are
being taken from the debris of
