No Danger From Disease The whole habitablc part Of San Francisco has been organized and dis t1 :cted for sanitary inspection pur- poses in the most thorough manner There is no longer danger of epidemic breaking out, because the health de rartment working with the military is prepared to handle any disease be- fore it becomes threatening. The embargo on merchant vessels has been removed and shipping can now be moved as usual For the past few days vessels of the Pacific squad ron have been keeping vessels from leaving the port, but this restriction has been removed by orders from Ad- niral Goodrich, commander in chief of the Pacific squadron, to the ship 1 ping commissioner of the port.
 Damage to Big Qualifications.
 The big Notifications at the en- trance to the Golden Gate did not i escape serious injury during the great shake-up. The full extent of the in- j'.ry sustained by the great work as yet unknown, for nothing but a survey by the engineering corps can disclose tho full extent Of the dam age.
 At Lime Point the emplacements of the big guns have been cracked and both on the floor and in the walls Of the emplacements bear nnmistak- able evidence of having been given a bad shaking up.
 Conditions are said to be equally bad at the Notifications back of the old Fort Point. As it is now, the great 13-inch guns on both sides of the Gate, constituting the main de- weigh many tons each, but their ad- justment upon their carriages is as l delicate as that of watch The earthquake destroyed this and al though the damage can be repaired. if will take a considerable time and much labor before the big guns are in condition to do the execution they were intended to.
 The Lime Point batteries stand out ch an immense buff towering hund- reds of feet above the bay The shock he re was exceedingly heavy and is believed to have injured the fortifca- tions at this point more than else where.
 A safe expert after examining safes and vaults in many buildings in the burned district says that the vaults of the banks are all right, but that it will be several days before they can be opened, on account of the heat. The safes that are covered by debris will not be opened until perfectly cold.
