A well-known engineer states that the
area devastated by the fire in San Fran
cisco approximates 10000 acres, or
about Is square miles. There are few
cities in the world where so much val
liable property is contained in an
equal territory. Within this is square
miles were nearly 100 banks, some of
the finest Of the buildings in the world,
thousands Of mercantile and manufac-
turing establishments, and more than
100000 inhabitants, besides 10000 tran
sients. The aggregate number Of dead
probably will not exceed 700, and will
certainly not reach 1,00e Nothwith-
standing the enormous and widespread
destruction, the homes of 10000 peo-
pie are still standing, and practically
uninjured. There still remains the
great shipyards at South San Francisco,
the docks and manufactures along the
water front from Mission creek to
Hunters Point, the mint, the post Of

ANOTHER PROCLAMATION
THE PRESIDENT wITHDRAws
FORMER UTTERANCE.
Now Advises That Relief COntribu-
lions He Sent Direct to San
Francisco Committee.

Washington. - President Roosevelt
believing that the exigency for work,
ing exclusively through the Red Cross
has passed, has issued the following
proclamation:
ITO the Public:
When the news of the dreadful dis
aster at San Francisco first came, II
was necessary to take immediate steps
to provide in some way for the receipt
and distribution Of the sums Of money
which at once poured in for the relief
Of San Francisco. At the moment nc
one could foretell how soon it would be
possible for the people Of San francisco
themselves to organize, and to tide over
the interval the American National Red
Cross association was designated to re-
ceive and disburse the funds.
But the people Of San Francisco
with an energy and self-reliant courage
a cool resourcefulness and a capacity
for organized and orderly endeavor
which are beyond all praise, have al
ready met the need through committees
appointed by the mayor Of the city, ex-
Mayor James d. Phelan being chairman
Of the finance committee. The work Of
these committees has been astonishing
in its range, prolnptness and efficiency.
"As l am informed by Maj.-Gen.
Greedy, although all local transporta-
ton was destroyed, as we'll as practical
ly every supply store in tho city, these
local committees, with the help Of the
army, have succeeded in caring for
100000 homeless people in the last five
days. Thanks to their efforts, no in
dividual is now suffering severely for
food, water or temporary shelter. This
work has been done with the minimum
OF waste and under conditions which
would have appalled, men less trained In
business methods, endowed with less
ability or inspired with any but the
highest motives Of humanity and help
fulness. The need of employing the
Red Cross, save as an auxiliary, has
passed, and | urge that hereafter all
contribution from any source be sent
direct to James D. Phelan, chairman
finance committee, San Francisco.
"Mr Devine, Of the Red Cross, will
disburse any constitutions sent to him
through ex-Mayor Phelan and will work
in accord with him in all ways.
