DIFFICULTIES OF THE SITUATION

ITO appreciate this situation, IL Is to
be borne I'm mind that San Francisco
covers % square miles and that all street
car lines and usual methods of local
transportation are still unavailable and
imperative.
There is no telegraph system within
the city except that constructed by tho
signal corps, nor does any telephone ser
vice exist beyond the military system con-

and other points Of great public impor-
tance. Even the present military systems
engaged I'm repair and rescue operations.
Under these conditions part OF the city
can be reached save by a messenger on
foot, which entails hours, or by auto
mobiles. OF which there are few.
II have gone fully into the situation
10 prevent misapprehension and TO en-
able the war department TO disclose the
situation 10 the public. IL should be added
uat the names of dead have already been
furnished the department, and II desired
the name OF every injured person In hos
pital will be similarly transmitted
ITO relieve public apprehension II
should be clearly understood that beyond
isolated cases already reported there are
no deaths or serious Injuries of guests Of
any well-known hotel in San Francisco.
IL should also be understood that there Is
no demand for nurses or doctors.
THE medical. civil and military. Will be
able 10 handle the entire situation unless
Unexpectedly adverse conditions arise.

throughout the city.
The state militia has not been with
drawn, Notwithstanding the requests from
the mayor and from the citizens execu-
tive committee. II appears that as rule
members OF the militia have had a mis-
apprehension OF the conditions in San
Francisco. They have acted as IL martial
law were in force and that it was their
duty 20 regulate the affairs OF the city
according to the individual conception of
that law.
Since they have been confined 10 a
limited area. however, and the conditions
have been explained TO them, there has
been less complaint from citizens.
PRAISE FOR TROOPS.
There is nothing but praise for the work
OF the United States army, the navy and
the police. They have acted with reason
at all times. Marines are used In large
region for patrol duty. and they have
maintained the best OF order without one
Instance of conflict with anybody.
Everywhere sanitary conditions are sat-
lsfactory. Probably there has been less
sickness at the Preside than at any Of
the other camps. and this may be at

have been sheltered fed and directed by
army officers

ANOTHER QUAKE CAUSES PANIC AT FRISC|
SHOCK LASTED A minute
and CAUSED ONE Death

SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-Again
has San Francisco been shaken by natures
convulsions.
Again did terror and CONSERVATION seize
the already severely scourged people Of the
golden gate city, when for the space of a
minute yesterday afternoon it seemed as if
nature had determined to complete the work
of destruction begun just week before.
Beginning at 3.15 o'clock there was a
violent trembling Of the earth, accompanied
by detonations.
1t was the severest shock that San
Francisco has experienced since that first
tremor that sent walls crashing to the ground
and buried scores of seepers beneath the ruins
of their homes.

ANOTHER BEAUTY SPOT.
Mayor Thoms Orders Handsome Flo
 ral Bed for the Green,

A good deal has been said during the past few years about making
 beauty spots about the city, but 1t remained for Mayor Thoms to put the suggestions into practical operation and it now remains to be seen how we'll the work will be appreciated. To-day Florist John Sake, acting un- der the instructions of Superinten- dent Morris of the street department,
 built handsome mound on the green, opposite the City hall build ing, and filled it in with handsome flowers. converting the place into one of the most slightly spots ever seen in any of the public ways of Water bury. At the top of the mound a large plant lifts it's head about two feet above the earth, and then there are three or four rows of different kinds of plants down to the border of begonias, which come close to a small grass patch separating the plants from the concrete walk. AL ready an effort at adornment of this character has been made in the park at Cooke and North Main streets, and the work will be carried into Stanley park and Union square and probably some other places where few flow CTS can be set out and which will help make everybody forget the dust of the streets until the public needs commission gets ready to have the streets sprinkled. The green never looked prettier than 1t does to-day and no prouder man ever stood on the granite steps leading to the ex- ecutive mansion in City hall than Mayor Thoms appeared to be this morning as he watched the efforts of the florist and his assistants across the way under the umbrageous elms an erstwhile barren spot into a bower of beauty.

THE POLICE COURT.
Charles Mcintyre Ordered to Pay
 Wife $6 a Week

w. Jaffe was before Judge Burpee in the city court to-day charged with using short measure. Sealer of Weights and Measures Frank Pagan testified that one day last week he saw Jaffe selling from peach bas- ket half bushel of potatoes to Mrs John Brophy, 73 Phoenix avenue. He lad warned the man repeatedly against using short measures and this time he caught him in the act. Mrs Brophy said she bought ''bas- ket" of potatoes from the man not half bushel. That settled the case. Jaffe was discharged
 Charles Mcintyre was charged with non-support of his wife and 5- months-old child. Mrs Mcintyre, while she considered herself badly used, was still reluctant witness. She said that on April her husband abandoned her without a word of warning. He had dinner that day and she had not seen him since then un- til this morning in court. He was employed by the Clock company and up to the time of his abrupt depart ure was a good husband. She had to get work when he left and she found employment with the Scovill Manu- featuring company. Her sister took care of the baby while she was in the shop. Mcintyre said he skipped to Massachusetts where he got work. He insisted 1t was on April 4, ''pay day" that he left. That date was on Saturday and as pay day" in the clock shop is Wednesday, Mrs Me- Intyre was right. However, he said he had no fault to find with his wife the trouble was too much mother-in- law. Judge Burpee ordered him to pay SC a week for six months, to fur nish bond of s200 or go to jail for sixty days. Meanwhile he will be at liberty on probation and the first time he fails to comply with the or der of the court off he goes to jail. It was evident, however. that the McTntyres understand each other. for after court Mrs Mcintyre with her sister and baby visited her husband in the lookup.
