Further down, in the fats OF the HAYES
valley, the fire ran fast through a thickly
inhabited district OF working people. In
the midst of this district is st. Ignatius's
Church, the largest church on the Pacific
Coast This caught early and went I'D in
q sheet Of fire. Block after block IN this
part went up. The whole waterfront.
except the fine big ferry building of the
Southern Pacific Company burned to the
ground, and this fire extended to the ware
house district, taking in the stores of the
Pacific trade.
Another centre Of flame was California
street, the financial district, Here the
new Merchants Exchange Building was
threatened at last accounts, and a report
which cannot be confirmed from this side
has 1t that the Mutual Life Building, valued
at $1,000 900, and the Anglo-California
bank are burning. A great loss in the mat
ter Of sentiment is the destruction OF the
old adobe Mission Dolores, built more than
a hundred years ago and the very nucleus
Of the old town Of Yerba Buena. In that
part Of the Mission there is another fire
which is sweeping away buildings whole

WATER GOT IN THE

been working all the morning to make
connections between the lower city and the
hill reservoirs. They got 1t in the after.
noon; and at about the time when the
soldiers enforced martial law on the CITY.
when the business district had become
almost one great o~onfagration, and the
telegraph operators, the correspondence
and the other people upon whom the world
must depend for news Of this oatastro-
phe moved over to Oakland the fremen
were getting some streams on the flames.
OF the scenes which marked the trans
formation Of this the gayest, most careless
city on the continent into a wreck and n
hell 1t is harder to write. That the day
started with a blind, general panic goes
without saying. People woke with a start
to find themselves flung on the floor. In
such an earthquake as this it ia the human
instinct to get out OF doors, away from
falling walls. The people stumbled across
the floors of their heaving houses to find
that even the good earth upon which they
placed their reliance was swaying and
rising and falling 40 that the sidewalks
cracked and great rents opened in the
ground.

and all the dynamite in the city was COM
Wandered.
The day broke beautifully clear. The
wind, which usually blows steadily from
the west at this time Of the year, took a
sudden veer and came steadily from the
east, sending the fire, which lay in the
Wholesale district along the waterfront,
toward the heart Of the city, whore stood
the modern steel ~stru buildings,
mainly stripped Of their cement shells.
An outpost Of the flames ran along Market
street, leapsd New Montgomery and shot
out toward the Palace Hotel. At the same
time a steady fre coming up from the south
attacked 1t from the rear. .
The Palace, having perhaps 400 guests
besides its servants and house force, had
stood the shock. The guests we're all out
before it came into danger and had either
got across the bay before the fires cut off
that means Of egress or had fed to the
hills. Part Of the Grand Hotel was blown
up in the attempt to stop the fires adj
n This checked It only for a time.
By the middle Of the morning the Are had

WIND SWITCHES 10 THE SOUTHWEST.
Hardly was this burning and beyond
hope before the wind switched to its normal
southwest direction, and the Chronicle
building, across the street, caught fire.
Whom this happened all. the newspaper
offices had been transferred to the Chronicle
building, whose basement presses had
somehow lasted through, and they were
preparing to issue all the papers from the
n office. Driven out of this last stand
they took to the hills or tried to get out to
Oakland and a telegraph wire to send out
the news.
SEVEN GREAT FIRES UNITE.
This was only the main fire. There were
about seven other great CONGREGATIONS,
all Of which, at this hour, seem to be unit
ing into n great fire which will sweep
clean all the low lying parts OF the city.
The hills district where the we'll to do
residents live was not spared and there
were ten or twelve small fires there. In
this part Of the town there was some water
from the hill reservoirs, and this, together
with the slow burning quality Of the red
wood OF which they are mainly built, seems
to have saved those parts Of the town.

the fate Of the Mutual Life Building,
the new Merchants Exchange and
SONS of the hotels, The city is under
close martial law, the whole garrison Of
the Preside and a regiment Of militia being
on guard. 1t is probable that most Of the
better residence district, situated on the
hills, escaped and that the loss Of life fell
almost entirely on the poor Of the tenement
quarter.
About one-third OF the area of the city,
and hat the most closely oongested part,
was ravished by the earthquake or swept
by the fire.

THE CITY HALL aoEs DOWN.
All this made Of San Francisco q pictur-
esque ruin, choked with debris, long before
the fires finished II. Chief Of the wrecked
buildings was the great City Hall, a stone
pile which cost 81, 900 900, and was nearly
twenty years in building, It's dome fell,
it's walls were rent apart, and It is Just
a great tumble of fallen stone. 1t Is re-
ported that some Of the police and Of the
emergency hospital force, who spend the
night in the building, were hurt and killed
in it's fall.
OTHER BUILDINGS 10.
Further down the street the new post
office, a two million dollar building, was
wrecked. The Call building, the tallest
in San Francisco, did not fall, but part Of
it's shell was stripped of. The roof Of the
Hobart Building fell in, but the Postal Tel
egraph operators, who occupied that build
ing, stayed at their posts until they were
driven out by the dynamiting of adjacent
buildings. The top floor Of the new Mer-
chants Exchange Building fell in. The
great Mills Building stands, but Is era cked

of the city will probably finish it. The

number Of three and four story brick bust
ness buildings which went down was too
great for any estimate.
In the middle of the morning the whole
Oakland fire department, answering a
call from SAL Francisco, came over on a
special ferryboat. By that time there
was a wall Of fire between the waterfront
and the main business district. They took
10 the wharves and marched far to the
south before they found a way through the
Are and reached the San Francisco f1remen
who were still working without water TO
a " the Palace Hotel. The Oakland men
were distributed through the town to at
tend to the lesser fires, which were all spread
ing to make San Francisco a city Of fame.
Every street was clogged with debris, so
that often they had to cut a way with axes
to get through the streete.
GAS E THE Fl RES.
There was an overpowering smell Of
gas everywhere from the broken mains.
Now and again these would catch fire,
making a great squirt Of fire, which would
catch In the debris. The frst concern Of
the iremen was to stop these leakages.
They piled on them bags Of sand, dirt clods,
even bales Of cloth torn from the wreck
ago Of burning stores, In the middle Of
the morning, however, there came a report
from the south louder and duller than the
reports Of the dynamite explosions. There
followed a burst Of fame against the dull
smoke. The gas works had blown up and
the tanks were burning, After that the
gas leaks stopped.
PALACE HOTEL GOES.
But the fire had beaten the men at tie

was burning, and reaching out to the En-

In the day, was menaoed from the rear also
by a fra which was burning the Grand Opera
House and threatening st. Patrick's Ca
thedral. Already the fire was in q small
building 10 the rear which houses the edi-
torial rooms Of the Coll. The fremen
dynamited a four story building housing
railroad offices which stood between the
Palace and the Examiner. That did not
stop 1t. just before noon the men in the
newspaper offices, who had reported for
duty and were hanging on to the last, left
the building, and with the rest Of the people

The greatest earthquake disaster in the
history Of the United States visited San
Francisco early yesterday morning. A
great part of the business and tenement
district was shaken down, and this was
followed by a fire which is still burning
and which has covered most Of the affected
area,
1t is impossible now to say anything Of
the loss of life, since the city is practically
cut of from comm u~nication with the world,
but estimates vary from 500 to 1000. The
loss Of property will not be less than $5o,ooo,-
GOO and may reach 500, 900, 900. Between
the earthquake and the fire about all the
business district is gone,
Although the whole city was shaken
up, the great damag &c by the earthquake
vas limited to the low and made lands
which lie between the hills OF San Fran
cisco and which are occupied by business
buildings, warehouses and, in the southern
part, by cheap tenements. Happening
at 5o'clock in the morning, the earthquake
caused practically no loss Of life among
the business houses, but the tenement
houses, especially the cheap lodging houses,
suffered severely in this respect. Directly
atterward a FIRE started in seven or eight
places, helped out by broken gas mains.
The water system failed, and all through
the morning the fire was fought with dyna-
mite.
The Palace and st. Francis hotels, where
most tourists stay, escaped the earthquake,
although the Palace was destroyed after
ward by fire. Therefore New York people
need have little anxiety for the safety Of
friends visiting San Francisco in the tourist
rush. Almost all the greater buildings OF
Fan Francisco are lost. These include the
Cty Hal, the new post office, the Call build
Ing, twenty stories high; the Parrot Build.
