Fast, there were three men on the

military officer directed Ills men to
shoot them, which they did in the
presence of 5000 people. saw great

search has been made of the district
south Of Market street or the Chinese

lost in these sections. South Of Mar

the national association received re-
mittance of 100000 from the New
York branch of the Red Cross. Inaui.
ries were made through Surgeon Cen

more We're needed and that all neces-
sary medical supplies were available
at San Francisco for all contingencies
for about three months.
There is a need. however, in the af.
fiicted city for clothing and shelter
and warmth, and thesRed Cross is
looking to these ends Arrangements
have been made with army contractors
who supply blankets to send many
thousands to San Francisco of the

the United States army, which it was
agreed to do at low government con-
tract.

believed that before the close of the
day every militiaman will be with
drawn from duty on the city streets.
"As far as the police department is
concerned, said Chief Dlnan, 1--WE
have endeayored to cooperate with
the regulars in patrolling the streets
and preserving order. We have had
no clash with militiamen or the citi.

ness of the guardsmen by citizens and
for that reason we have deemed it
advisable to request the withdrawal of
