"When we reached the lower floor

to leave the house. we found all the
people gathered in the lower hall, and
while all were terribly frightened they
behaved well. only one woman crying,
and that because she thought of the
danger to her loved ones in San Fran
cisco.
"The hotel building, being frame,
was injured little, tho the chimneys
were thrown down, plaster shaken from
the walls, the wardrobes overturned,
and all the dishes thrown from the
kitchen shelves and broken in small
pieces. The cellar was afoat with
broken cans Of fruit. We find there is
hardly a house in Santa Cruz that has
not had one or more chimneys thrown
down. The courthouse and several
hotels are badly damaged-ruined in
fact. So far we have heard of no
deaths or serious casualties. Since the
first big shock there have been at least
a dozen more or less frightful.

in ruins, tunnels filled with rock.

81 cannot describe to you the nerve-
| trying sensation of an earthquake
shock and the feeling of helplessness it
gives one. The ground is cracked open
| to the width of seven or eight inches
| in many places, and in some places is
sunken several feet. On the way to
the big trees, rocks had been thrown
down into the road, and fences that
protected the edge of the cliff were
broken. There is queer look in the
sky, as of smoke or volcano dust. The
sun is partly obscured and the light
has the same appearance as when a
cyclone is in the air. We are glad
| that We have a beautiful garden to
stay in instead of having to run into
the street at every tremor, for we GER
tainly prefer the outside to the inside
of four walls on such an occasion.

how much better off they will be by

has been a call for help up in the noun

slid down the mountain side and thir-
teen men buried. People here are

FEARS OTHER DISORDERS
General Greedy Asks for More Troops
for Frisco and Vicinity.

Washington, April "a. - General
Greedy, in command at San Francisco,
has made some important recommended
tions regarding the future employment
of military forces in California. He
has telegraphed, under last night date,
as follows:
11 "Mi5tary sserfsstaary, W ;th Rten
Schmitz, General Funston and the chief
Of police regarding necessities of the
near future. The mayor urges that the
army take charge Of the large districts
now guarded by the state militia.
Apart from other considerations, it is
evident that the state militia cannot
be expected to serve here any consid-
cradle length of time. The mayor in
formed me that he would ask the gov
informed him that questions involving
relations Of the municipal and state
authorities were beyond the province
of the regular army, but that every
thing would be done as far as present
regular force permit, to safeguard the
interests Of the city. 1t is evident,
however, that within a week or ten
days the situation will develop not only
in San Francisco. but in adjacent cities,
mand large increased forces for the
preservation of public order and the
conservation Of public interests.
while 1 am advised that an addi-
tional force of 5000 men would not be
excessive, yet in my opinion the pros
pective needs can be met by $500 addi-
tional troops to come from outside of
this military division. AS large a por-
tion of these troops should be cavalry,
in view of the destruction of local trans.
portation and the difficulties of inter
communication.
SfThe present forces, including coast
artillery and marines, aggregate in San
Francisco this morning $500, includ:
ing officers. Early favorable action is
therefore requested.
cit is strongly recommended that the
transports Warren and Crook be put
into commission Immediately. Already
difficulties exist regarding supplies Of
forage and lumber, which are certain
to increase in the near future These
transports would do much to meet the
demands of the army in these respects
apart from other directions.

A FREAK OF THE QUAKE
Alcatraz Island, Near Frisco, Didn't
Even Tremble.

San Francisco, April 24.-There is
one place within pistol shot of ruined
San Francisco that the earthquake did
not touch, that did not lose a CHM
ney or feel tremor-Alcatraz island.
Despite the fact that the island is
covered with brick buildings, brick
forts and brick chimneys, not brick
was 1oosed, not crack made nor a
culver felt. When the scientist comes
to write, he will have his hands full
explaining why Alcatraz did not have
physical knowledge of the event. The
scene from the island was awe-inspir-
ing. The crash of falling city filed
the ears of the aroused island, but not
one understood what it was all about.
There was no earthquake that he knew
about, yet the city few hundred yards
across the bay was crashing to ruin.
No man on the island knew what was
the matter until the boat landed at
the shattered wharves in San Fran
cisco
