south of Market. The fire passed west
of Dolores, but north of Market, and
the entire line is under control from

west of this line will probably be
saved. The weather is fine and sup
plies are beginning to arrive. The
situation is somewhat better than an,
%ticipated."

chairman of the committee said:
City to Be Rebuilt.
THE city will be rebuilt immediate

Scenes of Terror Prevailed.

San Francisco, Cal, April 20.-The
dawn of the second morning since the
terror of the earthquake shows the
prevailing conditions to be almost I'M
endurable. The fire has now swept
the city practically out of existence,
and the quarter of a million homeless,
w%retched people are this morning in a
condition of resolute despair.
Relief Trains Pouring In.
Relief trains arrived during the
night n early today, and water has
been secured, so that. the starvation
which threatened is largely averted,
but sickness and insanity stalk abroad.
Two Days of Terror.
No one on the outside can imagine
the awful terror of the last f~orty-eight
hours, or the complete hopelessness
of today. Last night thousands of all
kinds of people slept in Golden Gate
park and the public square. The cold
fogs came down and almost persisted
them.
Uncertainty as to Fate.
Families were divided. Some men,
bers we're here and others there. No
one knows whether the others were
dead or living. There are many scenes
of pitiful b~reakdowns of mothers
frantic over the absence of their chill
dren; OF fathers searching for their
families.
Much Sickness and Disease.
The amount of sickness, the number
of deaths, the human wreckage that
must follow the days and nights of e
posure, can scarcely be calculated.
Meanwhile, at s o'clock this morning,
the fire was still burning and the ruin
is complete.
Gone Beyond the City.
The fire has gone beyond the city
limits, and at 8 o'clock the flames were
in the vicinity of Golden Gate park.
which. of course, will stay its progress,
as there is nothing now upon which
the fire can feed. Utter exhaustion
has taken possession of the people and
they look upon the seething ruins with
a grim and dried woe.
Warehouses in Fire Line.
The last information was that the
federal warehouse and nearby can.
neries, neal Fort Mason, overlooking
the harbor entrance n but half 6
mile from the Preside reservation
were in the direct flames.

DANGEROUS TO SEND
CONSUMPTIYES AM AY

Change Of climate and tEgoing west ,
as cures for consumption are denounced
in circular letter issued by the New
York charity organization s committee
for the Prevention Of Tuberculosis, re-
ceived yesterday by the Anti Tuberculo-
sis committee Of the Minneapolis Asso-
ciated Charities.
This circular points out the grave
danger Of sending poor consumptives
tions of the country where work suit
able for them is scarce and where COM
petition is keen. Under such circum-
stances the man who leaves home with
little more than railroad fare is bound
to suffer and has little chance for re-
covery.
The New York committee recon.
mends that before patients are. sent
aWaylt should be first ascertained that
they are physically able to work and
have advance assurances of employment
OF have at least $3.50 in excess Of their
railroad fare. Unless this is SO, it is
better for the patient to remain where
he can have home care and cooking.
