Then dynamite was resorted to
and the sound OF frequent explosions
added to the terror of the people.
All efforts to stay the progress of the
fire, however. proved futile. The
south side OF Market street from 9th

fire covering a belt two blocks wide.

STATE ASYLUM DOWN.
Many of Inmates Buried in the
Ruins.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April l8.
News comes to this city from
Niles, small town in the Santa
Clara Valley, about fifteen miles
from San Jose, stating that the
earthquake demolished the state in
sane asylum at Agnews, near San
Jose, burying many of the inmates
in the ruins. 1t is stated that San
Jose suffered severely. This news
was brought by an automobile from
San Jose to points where wire conf
munication had been established
with Los Angeles temporarily.
News over the Southern Pacific
wires from Niles confirms the re-
port that the insane asylum at
Agnews was demolished, and FUR
ther states that almost every stone
or brick building i'll San Jose was
either badly damaged or entirely
wrecked 1t is not known if there
was great loss of life i'll San Jose,
but evidently some loss has oc-
CURED.
Mayor McAleer of Los Angeles
has filed a message to Mayor
Schmidt of San Francisco offering
to render any assistance possible,
and asking for advices as to the Sit
uation, and what aid may be needed.
President Summerland of the city
council called a special session OF
that body today, and forwarded
telegram to the mayor of San Fran
cisco offering in the name OF Los
Angeles to render any aid possible.
Both the mayor OF Los Angeles
and the president Of the city council
request the Associated Press 10
communicate, if possible, their
tenders of assistance, as they do not
expect to be able to reach then
through the ordinary channels OF
communication.
From inquiries received in this
city from points in the east 1t ap-
pears that the impression has gone
out that the earthquake which
caused such devastation in san
Francisco this morning also affected
Los Angeles and other California
points. This is an entirely erroneous
impression.
There has been no earthquake IN
southern California, and the shocks
that caused the damage in san
Francisco were not felt farther
south than Santa Barbara. The
Associated Press is requested By
the commercial interests of this city
to correct this impression.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
Palo Alto Report Declares II is
Practically Demolished.

OAKLAND, Cal.,. April 49,
2;I5 p.m.-Reports just received
from Palo Alto say Stanford Uni
versity is practically demolished.
One student is reported killed.
Patio Alto is thirty-three miles
south of San Francisco on the coast

to the extent of nearly S3o,ooo,ooo.
The university buildings are
built of brown stone and are said
to be the finest cluster of buildings
used for educational purposes in
this country, The buildings are not
high, the most of them being four
stories or less. The memorial
chapel, which is situated in the CEN
ter of the group of buildings, was
built at a cost of more than ST ,ooo,-
600.
The town of Palo Alto has pop
ulation of about 5000 and the coun-
try for radius of several miles is
level.

ONE STRUCTURE ESCAPED WRECK
STATE INSANE ASYLUM DESTROYED AND LIVES
LOST-EFFORT TO STAY PROGRESS OF FIRE
BY DYNAMITING PROPERTY IN
PATH OF FLAMES

SAN FRANCISCO, April 18,-
Earthquake and fire today have
caused the greatest calamity CALI
fornia has ever known. In San
Francisco alone it is estimated that
one thousand persons have perished,
while as many more have suffered
from injuries.
The entire business portion Of the
CITY is in ruins, and the flames,
which, owing TO the lack OF water,
cannot be checked except by the
blowing up with dynamite of build
ings in their path, are still sweeping
through the city. 1t is impossible
at present to estimate the property
loss, for the extent of the con!ia-
grafton cannot be told until the fire
has burned itself out.
Thousands OF people are homeless
and many are huddled in the parks
and public squares beside the house
hold goods they were able to save.
The city is under martial law, and
all the down town streets are pa
trolled by cavalry and infantry. De-
tails OF troops are also guarding the
banks. Most OF the principal build
ings have already been destroyed
and others are in imminent danger.
Over all the scene OF desolation
hangs a dense pail OF smoke.
Communication with outside towns
is almost entirely cut off, but the re-
port comes from Palo Alto that all
but one OF the buildings of the Le-
land Stanford, Jr., University have
been wrecked, and that the splendid
memorial church, one OF the finest
structures of its kind in the world
is a mass OF ruins. One student is
known TO have lost his life
In Oakland FIVE persons were
killed. San Jose and Sacramento,
Berkeley, Alameda and other places
heard from suffered severely, but
report no loss OF life.
Earthquake Came Without Warning.
The dreadful earthquake shock
came without warning at precisely
5I3 o'clock this morning, its mo-
ton apparently being from east to
west. At first the upheaval OF the
earth was gradual, but in few sec
onds it increased in intensity Chin
-neys began to fall and buildings to
crack, tottering on their foundations
The people became panic-stricken
and rushed into the streets, most oi
them in their night attire. They
were met by showers OF falling build
ings, bricks, cornices and walls
Many were instantly crushed to
death, while others were dreadfully
mangled. Those who remained in
doors generally escaped with their

Loss Estimated at $10O,0O0,000.
The latest report at police head
quarters shows that the entire dis
trict surrounded by Vallejo, How
ard, East and Sansome streets, en-
bracing practically the entire whole
sale portion of the city, has been
swept clean by the fire.
Also the district bounded by Mar
ket, 9th and Folsom streets has been
devastated. In the latter districts are
included most of the city's finest and
most substantial buildings.
The area covered by the flames
UP to the present time is about eight
square miles, or several hundred city
blocks. Very little, if any, water is
available, and the blowing up OF
buildings by dynamite is the only
means of checking the flames. Most
of the buildings untouched by the
flames have been greatly damaged
by the earthquake shocks. The pc
cuniary loss at this hour "a pm.) is
conservatively estimated at $780,
100000.
1t was reported at the temporary
police headquarters, which has been
established in the basement of the
hall of justice, by Chief of Police Di-
nan that a terrific explosion has oc-

At the same time the commercial
establishments and banks north of
Market street were burning The
burning district in this section of the
city extended from Sansome street
to the water front, and from Market
street to Broadway Fires also broke
out in the Mission and the entire
city seemed to be in flames.

Both were taken to the Mechanic S

to hospital and morgue purposes.
The explosion was caused by the set

contrary to the orders OF Mayor
Schmitz. Both men were buried
under falling brick wall and were
rescued by the members OF the fire
department.

lives, though scores were hit by de-
tached plaster, pictures and articles
thrown to the floor by the shock. 1t
is believed that more or less loss was
sustained by nearly every family in
the city.
The tall steel frame structures
stood the strain better than brick
buildings, few Of them being badly
damaged. The big eleven-story Mo
nadnock Office building, in course OF
construction, adjoining the Palace
Hotel, was an exception, however,
its rear wall collapsing and many
cracks being made across its front.
Some OF the docks and freight
sheds along the water front slid into
the bay. Deep assures opened in the
flled-in ground near the shore and
the Union ferry depot was injured.
Its high tower still stands, but will
have TO be torn down.

Finest Buildings Ruined.

A portion of the new city hail.
which cost over seven million dol
lars, collapsed, the roof sliding into
the courtyard and smaller towers
tumbling down. The great dome
was moved, but did not fall.
The new post office, one of the fin
est in the United States, was badly
shattered.
The Valencia Hotel, tours story
wooden building, sank into the base
ment, a pile of splintered timbers,
under which were pinned many dead
and dying occupants of the house.
The basement was full OF water and
some of the helpless victims were
drowned.
Scarcely had the earth ceased to
shake when fires broke out stimuli
taneously in many places. The fire
department promptly responded to
the first calls for aid, but it was found
that the water mains had been rem
dered useless by the underground
movement. Famed by a light
breeze, the flames quickly spread and
soon many blocks were seen to be
doomed.
