SANITARY CONDITIONS
Large Force of Volunteers nt Work
 Sickness on Decrease.

San Francisco, April 22-The board of health reports a very encouraging health condition, considering the cir cumstances. Sickness is constantly on the decrease. There are very few con- tagious diseases and these are being at tended at Deer Lodge in Golden Gate park. Sanitary conditions in the resi- dence districts are being improved.
 A large corps of volunteers started at work yesterday removing all kinds of garbage to the curbs. Wagons were being pressed into service to-day and the garbage removed to the burned dis tricts, where it will be destroyed. Cess pools are being dug.
 Most of the sickness is among the people who are living out. of doors and it is upon these cases that the board of health is concentrating most of its attention. Hundreds of volunteer doc tors, dentists, nurses and helpers are at work allaying suffering. Since the fire broke out there has been no lack of volunteers for every kind of work,
 Major Torrey off the United States army, and Dr. Foster of the state board of health, have charge of the work among the people who are out of doors, and Dr. Hassler is at the head of the sanitary work.
 Oakland has furnished an engineer ing corps to assist in the restoration of the water supply, and another that will aid in clearing the streets.
 Dr. K. A. L. Mackenzie, surgeon of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company, has reached here in charge of twenty physicians, a number of nurses, any plenty of hospital supplies. Dr. w. F. Carl of the oregon state Ma tional guard, has arrived in addition to the entire Third Hospital corps of Oregon.
 At the Emergency hospitals, which were quickly established, and attend ed by many physicians, the only com plaint that really exists is the lack of bedding. Though the army and navy have been called on for blankets, quilts and the like, the supply furnished by these departments is not enough.
 Only thirty patients are quartered in the territory that comprises the Park Emergency hospital. Considering that over five hundred injured people receiv- ed attention at the park si1.ce Wednes- day morning this Is regarded by the physicians as very promising. No deaths have occurred at the Park Emergency hospital since Wednesdays mornings shick.

San Francisco Can Have sE,OOO,OOO Gal-
 Ions a Day for 600 Days.

lOns u OHy 1Or OOU DaySs
 San Francisco, April 22- Experts of the Spring Valley Water company, who have been engaged in making thor ough examination of the mains and reservoirs of the system have reported that the company has in it's reservoirs S5,0OO,OOO gallons per day for perior of 500 days.
 The only immediate problem is that of getting this supply of water into the city. Already pipes have been re- pairs in cetrain sections and a supply of 7,000,000 gallons per day is coming in through Ocean View from Lake Merced. About 100000 gallons of this is being consumed daily by Ocean View and the other towns along the pipe lines, but 6,000,000 gallons daily is reaching and will continue to reach the city proper.
 Within few hours another supply of 6,O00,0OO gallons daily will be poured in to the city from College Hills. This will furnish water to the northern sec tion of the city. Already water is be- ing supplied to the Black Point and Pacific Heights districts and with an additional supply of 100000 gallons daily which, is assured from lines that will be repaired within a day or two the city will within four days be receiv- ing daily supply of between 16,OO0,OO0 and 17OOO,OOO gallons, which is practic- ally equal to half the amount that was being furnished to the entire city prior to the earthquake. This makes it cer- tain that the city will be habitablq again almost immediately, a food sup ply already being assured

 The famous Sutro baths near the Cliff house also were practically unharned. Only few of the windows in the Sutro baths, and in the Cliff house were brok- en, and the lofty chimney of the pump ing plant in the former establishment was cracked slightly.
 Manager Wilkins of the Cliff house notified the general relief committee that he would turn over his estahlish- ment as well as the immense stables of his resort to the housing of the home less.

Sixty Persons KiIled--Situation Now
 We'll in Hand.

Sacramento, Cal, April 22.-Santa Rosa, in proportion to it's size, has suf- fered worse than San Francisco. The list of dead numbers about sixty, but great number of persons are missing and still greater number are more or less seriously wounded.
 As in the case of San Francisco, an admirable organization has the situa- ton well in hand. Forty sailors from Mare Island, fully equipped with ap- paratus, are at work, while volunteer aid has been unstinted. Santa Rosa has suffered the greatest disaster in her history but the indomitable spirit of her people has been shown all along the line. Even so early as Friday an announcement was made that the pub lie schools and the college would open as usual on Monday morning, the build- ings having been inspected and found to be safe.

NO QUARANTINE LIKELY.
Governor Pardee Also Denies Exist
 ence of an Epidemic.

snce of an Epidemic.
 Oakland, Cal, April Ex-Governor George c. Pardee gave the Associated Press the following interview to-day.
 "The situation is as good as can be expected considering the greatness of the calamity that has befallen us. The nation and the world are taking great interest in our welfare and showing material and financial aid. The mat ter of a special session of the legisla- ture is still under consideration. What we need especially is medical stores, clothing and shelter for the refugees. Of course, food will be needed in con siderable quantities, for some time to come. An epidemic does not exist at present It is not probable that thede will be any necessity for ordering a quarantine. The work of rebuilding San Francisco has commenced and I expect to see the great metropolis re- placed on much a grander scale than ever"
 Major Frank Keesling, in charge of Golden Gate park, to-day made this re- nort +o General Funston: "I beg to ad- wise you that not a case of serious sick ness exists in this park. All rumors to ahe contrary are false and malicious I will promptly advise you if there is any change, or If anything of serious na- ture occurs.

AaIe Steadlly Improving and He VIII
 Probably Compete.
 Athens, April 22.-Under glorious sun shine following showery morning the opening ceremony of the Olympic games was performed to-day by King George of Greece, The huge stadium was already packed to it's utmost ca pacity, when the royal procession ar rived to the strains of the Greek and British anthems. First came a carriage containing King George and Queen Alexandra; then came a carriage with King Edward and Queen Olga. These were followed by carriages with Prin- cess Victoria, the Prince and Princess of Wales and the members of the Greek royal family, with their bril- liant suites, and representatives of the various European courts.
 The procession trayersed the whole length of the stadium amid vociferous cheering, and the dignitaries took seats in a semi-circle. Then Crown Prince Constantine, Duke of Sparta, who is the president of the games, moved from the center of the arena, saluting King George, and read an appropriate ad- dress, stating the objects of the meet ing, and expressing the hopethat the victors, whatever their nationality would remember that their victory had been acclaimed on the sacred soil of Athens by descendants of the ancient Hellenes. He concluded by begging King George to proclaim the opening.
 King George arose and briefly declar- ed the games opened,
 All the participants in the games then moved in procession around the stadi- um, headed by bands of music. The 900 picked athletes of the world moved past, presenting an imposing display. They were cheered to the echo. Pass ing the royal personages the standard bearer of each team impressiyely low cred the flag of his country, King George gravely returning the salute.
 The games began with gymnastic displays and contests. No Americans participated to-day. The members of the royal families remained to the fin- ish.
 Tonight. the Acrnpolis was brilliant ly illuminated.
 Eli B. Parsons, Yale university and New York A. C.; Fay R. Moulton, Kan sas City A. A.; James s. Mitchell and H. L. Hillman, N. Y. A. C., are steadily and probably will be able to compete in the games.
