SAN FRANCISCO, April 21.-Order
and system are gradually being wrought
out of the indescribable confusion
which has prevailed in this city for the
past three days.
The hungry thousands are being fed,
and plentifully fed, wherever they are
camped, and the fortunate householders
who were not driven from their homes
are procuring food at the various re-
lief stations established throughout the
unburned district.
Water in sufficient quantities to meet
all the immediate and pressing needs
of the people can be had.
Sanitary measures are being pushed
with vigor everywhere. Sewers are be-
ing repaired and the thousands of peo-
pie camped on open spaces and in the
parks are being organized into model
camps by the military authorities.

entire city will be patrolled tonight
in thorough and systematic manner.
There has been no disorder reported
from any section.
