Many must have died in the FIRE. At
least four men were shot during the day
for looting. The unburied dead, many
of them. half burned in the ruins, are be-
coming a problem. 1t may become neces-
sary to sink many bodies in the bay or
ocean. Owing to the fire, which caught
many structures before the dead could be
taken out Of them, the rea mortality will
never be known.
1t Is hard to estimate the loss in money.
1t may be said that practically all improve
ments on real estate and a great part of
the personal property are gone. The loss
will certainly be more than 5000, 900, 900.
The last assessment roll gives the value Of
land and improvements in San Francisco
at S4O2, 100000. The insurance held in San
Francisco was estimated in New York
yesterday at from $3.50, 900, 900 to $3.50, O00, 900.
This estimate is based on the payments on
premiums. The housing Of the homeless
people who must have slept in the parks
and the military reservation last night rs
going to be a great problem. So. indeed
Ia their feeding, No supplies can come
into the town at present, The people have
been living ON the supplies taken from
grocery stores and handed out by the
soldiers, but the wholesale houses are gone
with the stores Of provisions. and starvation
is imminent.
There is plenty Of money In sight for re-
lief. The Government has appropriated
a million dollars and at least a half million
is awaiting orders in New York. The
problem, however. is not SO much ono Of
money as OF ways and 9 of getting
supplies through quickly.
This is absolutely the greatest disaster
that ever overcame an American city. and
one of the great fires Of history. Beside
it the Chicago, Boston and baltimore fires
are almost unimportant.

WARRINGTON, April 19.-The following
telegram from Gen, Funston, dated San
Francisco, was received at the War De-
partment at s:S5 o'clock this evening.
Fire crossed Van Ness avenue to west
at $50 P. M. Almost certain now that en-

troops from Monterey and everything is
going as well as could be expected. On
account Of confusion it has been impossible

Several messages had been sent to Cen
Funston concerning the whereabouts OF
friends and relatives Of prominent persons
here and elsewhere, and 1t ia to those he
refers in the despatch.
Van Ness avenue is a broad thorough
fare running through the fashionable resi-
dence district. 1t enters Market street
about q mile from the Palace Hotel. '
At $40 p. M. this came from Gen. Fun
ston:

NttN OF the city this morning except out
lying suburbs, a few blocks on the water
front and a narrow district of middle class
residences lying along Golden Gate Park,
No American city was ever so nearly de-
t,royed as this, and, outside OF the earth
o,mke the fire is probably the greatest in
American history.
The city has a population Of more than
40 900 people. Not more than one-fourth
Of tneAe can have escaped to Oakland or
the PENINSULA, and at least 100000 people
must he homeless in the parks or the Pre-
sidio military reservation. Nearly all the
hospitals have been destroyed, and am
balances have been dragging the injured,
Gick and dying from place to place of safety
all day.
A late report by a Western Union wire
direct from San Francisco confirms the
despatch which Gen. Funston sent TO the
War Department earlier in the evening.
He said then that the flames had crossed
Van Ness avenue, the dividing line between
the better residence district and the rest Of
the city, and that the town vas doomed.
As a matter OF fact, everything worth
mentioning except this residence district
was burned over or on fire by yesterday
afternoon, The flames finished with the
business district, ran south through what
remained Of the tenement district, exA
tended out through the Mission, a region
Of cheap residences, and leaped to Mob
Hill, where stand the great mansions Of the
early day California millionaires.
Before that time the water supply had
been wholly exhausted. Even the e
we're sucked dry. At 2 O'Clock the firemen
brought to the volunteer helpers the news
that there was no more dynamite. 1t
passed from mouth to mouth.
No more dynamite!' This cry was the
doom Of San Francisco.

PLOT AGAINST GOVERNMENT.

st. s Petersburg. July 2S.- The
government is using every means at
its disposal to create the impression
both al home and abroad that the
crisis has been successfully passed
and that the probability of a general
upheaval has disappeared.
The governments sudden access
of optimism, traceable to the con-
stemation of the disastrous fail in
Russian, securities at home, and
abroad. The one thing which the
government cannot do without is
money, and whatever the response
to the outlawed parllament's appeal
to the people to refuse to any longer
pay taxes. the whole future depends
on the ability of the government to
continue its foreign loan operations
In the future.
For the last AS hours the central
committee of the Social Democrats,
Social Revolutlonists. Peasant
League. Railroad Mems union and
Telegraphers' union and the militia
ry committees have been comforting
both separately and Jointly with the
parliamentary groups. not only on
the question of calling a general
strike but actually in the question
of attempting a counter-coup d-etat
by setting up a provisional govern
ment. No final decision has yet been
taken. but practically all the prole-
tariat organizations, including that
of the railroad men, but excepting
the telegraphers have already pro-
nounced in favor of this step. The
members of the group of toll and
Social Democrats of the outlawed
parliament believe that another
course is open, and are irrevocably
committed on the surface with the
Constitutional Democrats to discoun-
tenancing any active revolutionary
step. but secretly they have agreed
to support or join in it II it can be
successfully inaugurated.
over a hundred of them met last
night in Finland under the presiden-
cy OF Prof. Miliuoff. Conferences will
be held BY representatives of other
groups this afternoon. and the pos
sible extent of the support which a
revolutionary movement will receive
from the army is therefore vital. At
Helsingfers, Finland Tuesday night
1900 soldiers and sailors of the
garrison took an oath to fight on the
side OF the people.
Fatal Blunder.
1t is quite apparent to disinterest-
ed observers of the situation that the
government in entering on its pres
ent policy made perhaps fatal
blunder in lacking the hardihood to
arrest the members of the outlawei
parliament. In its desire to save its
fame" It feared to go further than
prohibiting the publication OF the
address OF parliament, 70 the coun-
try and preventing the members
from giving public accounts of their
stewardship to their constituents.
But this decision only left the
members of parliament personally
free to conduct a conspiracy against
the life OF the government when the
plot is complete, and the signal has
gone forth. arrests will be useless
and the government will again find
that II acted too late in closing ting
political clubs, which mas been foli
lowed by the closing of all the work
mems unions and suspected tea
houses.
