viii Rebuild Business Blocks.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-The
new San francisco, which will rise
from the ashes OF the old, was In its
first stages Of rebuilding today. Al.
ter five days of confusion and almost
superhuman effort on the part Of the
citizens OF Californis's metropolis In
the great task Of sheltering, feeding
and otherwise caring for the homeless
thous ands, complete order has been
re.established and attention turned to
the future.
Throughout the great business dis.
trict where the devast alton OF the
flames was the most complete walls
were being razed, buildings that had
not disintegrated before the intense
heat were being inspected with the
view to re-occupancy, and even
ground was being cleared for the i'm.
mediate construction of some sort OF
building In which to resume business
ut the earliest possible time.

SAN FRANCISCO, Apri! 22.-Order

brought out OF the indescribable con.
fusion which has prevailed in this
city for the past three days. The
hungry thousands are being fed, and
plentifully, wherever they are camped,
and the fortunate householders who
we're not driven from their homes are
procuring food at the various relief
stations established through the uu.
burned district. Water In sufficient
quantities to meet all the immedia ate
and pressing needs of the people can
be had. Sanitary measures are being
pushed with vigor everywhere. Sew.
ers are being repaired and the thous-
ands Of people camped on open spaces
and In the park are being organized
into model camps by the military au-
thorities.

rude altars In the open air where San

camped, one would have had some
difficulty in finding any of the peace.

men.
Thus during the long morning they
endeavored to claw off the lee shore.
Morgan luffed the ship through the
heavy squalls which rose to the VIC
fence of a hurricane with consummate
skill. Absolutely fearless, a master OF
his profession, he did all with that
ship that mortal man could have done,
yet their situation became more and
more precarlous. They had long since
passed La Guayra. They had had a
dieting glimpse Of the shipping in the
harbor driving helplessly on shore as
they dashed by under the gray clouds
which had overspread the sea. That
town was now hidden from them by a
bend Of the coast. and they found
themselves In curious blight Of land,
extending far into the ocean In front
Of them. The mountains here did not
so nearly approach the water line, and
from the look OF the place there ap'
peared to be shoal projecting some
distance into the ocean from the point
ahead. Some of the buccaneers who
knew these waters confirmed the indl'
cations by asserting the existing of
the shoal.
In spite OF all that Morgan could do
Il was quite evident that they could
not weather the shoal on their present
tack. There was not sea room to veal
and bear up on the other tack The
vessel, in fact, like all ships In those
days and especially Spanish galleons
had tendency to go to leeward like q
barrel, and only Morgan's resourcefu
seamanship had saved them from the
fatal embraces of the shore long since
The canvas she was carrying was more
than she could legitimately bear in
such a hurricane. II there had been

her to bare poles long since, but under

him to retain full control and direction
of the ship: so. although he reduced
sail TO the lowest point, he still spread
a little canvas.

Hornigold and Teach, grasplng the

seamen, were steering the ship with
exquisite precision. Sweat poured

mighty La Silla of Caracas was even
then discernible. Morgan could see
that there were two or three other
vessels opposite the town straining at
their anchors in the heavy sea. Every
preparation for action had been made
IN good time, and the guns had been
loaded. The sea lashings had been
cast off, although the gun tackles were
carefully secured, for the wind was
