TWO VESSELS DESTROYED.
Result of Earthquake at the Union Iron
 Works.

WOrkS.
 Los Angeles, April 2S.--Saved from destruction by fire at San Francisco. the steamer State of California from California arrived at Port Angeles last night. She brought list of passen- gers from the stricken city as we'll as d lost of freight, C. Myron Hume. one of the passengers, credits Captain Thomas. of that vessel, Captain Alex ander of the Steamer Santa Rosa and the captain of the ferryboat Ukiah with saving of the San Francisco water front.
 When the flames crept down among the warehouses and the freight cars by the water front" said he last night, fire engines seemed to be useless be- cause of the lack of water !n the city mains and the firemen said it was too far to the bay to reach with the hose.
 Lines of hose were laid from the steamers. and shippers and passengers made q gallant fight"
 The State of California also brought news of two steamers wrecked at the Union Iron Works in San Francisco. One was the Columbia, big passen- ger boat which was on the ways The earthquake caused her to topple of the ways and roll over on her side She was practically wrecked. The steamer City of Puebla was Iy- ing at the dock there when d huge crane falling struck her and smashed her so that she sank.

FOOD IS PLENTIFUL.
Ftfty-Two Stntions Where the Hungr
 May Be Supplied.

May Be Supplied.
 San Francisco. April 23.-Food was never more plentiful In San Francisco than today The committee on feeding the hungry rercrts the most satisfac- tory progress in the huge task before it, and has already established fifty two stations where all the hungry may secure their daily rations.
 Besides the government and the gem eral food committee which are doing the most heroic work, a large number of independent organizations arc also at tacking the food problem. It Is hoped that the distribution of supplies may be systematized under one head in the course of a day or so, that there may be no conflict duplication of eorts on such an important issue,
 From all points news of approach ing relief trains are coming in and already suhicicnt provisions have ac- cumulated on the rolling stock at the Oakland pier to supply the needs of the city for moro than week. Plain food Of every description is plentiful and Iuxuries are beginning to arrive. coffee famine was threatened last light. but today fresh consignments of this important stimulant are being distri- buaed from almost every food depot There Is an abundance Of meats for stewing. though all the finer cuts are being used at the hospitals. Immense cattle trains are rolling northward from the prairies of the southwest, and chickens and eggs are coming from the nearby interior towns. The most pressing need is for vegetables. pre- ferrabIy potatoes. carrots. onions and the like. Fresh and perishable pro- ducts canot be properly cared for
 The lines of applicants at the various food stations blocks long and remain 80 until closing time Every one receives rations for single person as many times day as he asks and an attempt at distribution among the helpless families Is being made. The spirit of the people Is wonderfully bueyant in the face of distress and neither disorder nor complaints are evident along the bread line Volunteer distributors Issuing the provisions under military pro- lection
 The headquarters for government supplies are at the Presidio. the Folsom Street dock and Fort Mason. Major Kreuthoff who is in charge of the federal commissary has of- fered his subordinates to assist the citiezns committee to the limit of their power.

SKIN ECZEMA
 IN WORST FORM
Black SpIotches All Over Face = Produced Severe ltching-Year's Treatment by Physicians Did No Good and Became Despondent- Affected Parts Now Clear as Ever Alabama lady's
CURE BY THE
 CUTICURA REMEDIES


 "About four years ago was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and q few covering my body, which produced severe itching irritation, and which caused me great deal of annoy ance and suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of my town. After thor ough examination of the dreaded com plaint they announced 1t to be skin eczema in it's worst form. They treated me for the same for the length of one year, but the treatment did me no good.
 Finally I became Respondent and decided to discontinue their services. Shortly afterwards, my husband in read ing a copy of a weekly New York paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti- cura Remedies. He purchased the en- tire outfit, and after using the contents of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. I continued the use of tho CIticura Remedies for six months, and after that every spiotch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever. I have not felt symp- tom of the eczema since, which was three years ago.
 The Cuticura Remedies not only cured me of that dreadful disease, eczema, but other complicated troubles as well; and have been the means of others being cured of the same disease by the Cuticura Remedies, and I don't hesitate in saying that the Reeolvent ss inc hest hiond medicine that the world has ever known" Lizzie E.

Funston Places Corps at Disposition of
 Committee.
 San Francisco, April 23.--It was fear ed by many that tho heavy rains of last night had weakened the walls left standing in the burned district and further increased the danger to life. but assurance was given at the head quarters of the building committee this morning that the downpour had no such effect Under the direction of this com mittee the menacing walls are being dynamited and the danger. instead of increasing. Is lessening every hour. In regard to the work that is being done. Committeeman Leahy said today:
 General Funstop. on has placed his are working under our direction, throw ing down dangerous walls along Mar ket street. When we have made this thoroughfare safe we will devote our attention to the side streets
 Legal business will be resumed in San Francisco tomorrow morning. All the superior judges are safe and they will open their twelve departments in the Jewish Synagogue at the corner of California and Webster streets. Crimi- nal cases will have precedence
 Probate matters will follow and civil cases, such as damage cases and divorces will be reserved for the last place on the calendar. All the trials that were progressing at the time of the catastrophe will have tc be recom- menced. All court minutes. records and stenographers transcripts of evi- dence were destroyed in the ruins of the city hall. The testimony in the Yoeill will contest case which had just been begun before Judge Kerrigan and the case as it stands is worthless to either side.
 Records of the new Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court were saved. however. Duplicates of all records of important proceedings before these bodies are sent out of town to the different districts and are legally eff fective.
