Bulletins yesterday say it looks as if
the entire city would be burned. Nearly
every big factory building has been
wiped out Of existence and complete
enumeration OF them would look like a
copy OF the city directory. Many OF the
finest buildings in the city were leveed
to the dust by the terrific charges of
dynamite in the hopeless effort to stay
the horror of the fire. In this work
many heroic soldiers, policemen and fire,
men we're manned or killed outright.

Earthquake and fire have put nearly
sll Of San Francisco in ruins. Brigadier
General Funston believes 1000 persons
have been killed. Thousands Of Others
have been injured and property loss
already will exceed two hundred million
dollars. Tens of thousands are home

streams Of humanity have been fleeing
from the stricken districts to places Of
safety.
The earthquake began at 5:12 a. N.

shocks which continued at irregular in

Fire which swept the business districts
and yesterday invaded the residence dis

buildings were swept clean and the black

The earthquake caused the wreck OF

Despite this disheartening accident the
entire fire department, assisted by part
of the Oakland department and many
volunteers from outside districts, did
heroic service, many brave men losing
their lives while performing the work Of
succor. The earthquake, however, had
broken most of the water mains and
the men were without water to battle
with the fire fiend. Whatever water was
obtained to fight the flames in the harbor
front and in the factory districts was
pumped from the bay. This compelled
