Thousands are homeless and destitute aud
all day long streams of people have been
fleeing from the stricken districts IN places OF
safety.
Ii was 5.13 this morning when terrific
earthquake shock shook the whole city aud
surrounding country. One shock apparently
lasted two minutes, ard there was almost im.
mediate collapse of himsy structures all over
the city.
The dead and injured in other cities and
towns estimated at several hundred.
The FIRE Il at swept through the business
section after the earthquake was uncontrol-
able, because of the water mains having been
disconnected by the earthquake. A number
of buildings were blown up by dynamite.
Other towns, more or less damaged and in
several of which lives we're lost and people IN
jured, were Berkeley, Oakland, San Jose,
Alameda, Napa, Santa Rosa. The disturb
ance was plainly felt in Oregon aud Nevada.

Salinas, 81, 600, 900; Santa Rosa, 81 zoo, 600;
Napa, $500, 600; Vallejo, $4,000.

The dynamite explosion, blowing up Of the
