FIGHT TO SAVE
 GOVERNMENT MINT

baths and Cliff House were broken and the lofty chimney of the pumping plant of the former was cracked only slightly
 Manager Wilkins of the Cliff House notified the general relief committee that he will turn over his establish ment. as we'll as the immense stables of his resort, which arc unharmed. to the housing of the homeless.
 The only difficulty about the accept ance of this tender would be the diffi- cuity of the carting of supplies that distance. The water in the viciinity of the Ciiff House has been cut off, but 1t Is expected that an independent sup ply will be arranged for some time today.
 The entire district lying west of Golden Gate Park and along the beach from Golden Gate southward suffered less from the earthquake than prac- ticaily any other section of the San Francisco district.
 The camps of refugees extend as far westward through the park as the beach. Every one said they were TO- ceiving enough to eat and drink, but in order to got their supplies they were obliged to stand in line at some places as long as two hours. This of course worked serious hardship on many of the women who were in a state of exhaustion. There was much complaint on account of the cold at night on the part of those who were Tot properly protected and were com pelled to seek shelter beneath the shrubbery.

CLEARING THE STREETS.
Men of All Glasses Are Compelled to Go
 to Work.

to Work.
 San Francisco, Cal. April 22.--The soldiers and the police are forcing every available man in the downtown district of the city to work. no mat ter where they are found. or under what conditions.
 One party of four men that came downtown in an automobile yesterday were stopped on Market Street by the soldiers. The well-dressed men were ordered from the machine and com pelled to assist in clearing the debris from Market Street so that provisions may be hauled up through the center of the city. Then the automobile was loaded with provisions and sent out to relieve the hungry people In the parks.
 Men coming from the unburned dis trict in the western addition with the intention of crossing the bay to go to Oakland. Berkeley and other cities were stopped in the downtown district and put to work.
 One case which attracted attention was that of young man who was pressed into service by the soldiers. He came clad in a fashionable summer suit, straw hat and kid gloves. The minute the guard caught sight of him he was grabbed and ordered to help clear the bricks and other debris off the car tracks. At first he hesitated. but the sharp point of a bayonet convinced him that there was no escape. for the next five hours he was doing a laborers work in spite of his handsome attire.
 As result of this system the streets are being rapidly cleaned.

Disaster VIII Have no Deterrent Ef- feet Upon the Contemplated Cwn-t
 struction of skyserspers In gf sam Francisco.

Fresno. Calif.. April 22.-C. c. ling ren, of the San Francisco Contracting firm of Lingren-Hicks Company. re- turned last evening from San Fran cisco with definite news that the dis aster is to have no deterrent effect up- on contemplated skyscrapers for San Francisco. and that many of the great buildings reported destroyed can be rehabilitated at no great expense.
 The Lingren Hicks Company had the contract for the building of the Hum boldt Bank on Market street, between Third and Fourth streets. The plans call for an eighteen story building to overlook The Call building. Lingren yesterday called on the President and Cashier and asked what they proposed to do In view of the crushing disaster.
 Build the structure according to the original plans without single change" said the President. "only rush 1t as fast as 1t Is possible. In the meantime put up temporarily a struc- ture on Third street"
 Lingren obtained a permit from Gov ernor Pardee yesterday to make exam ination of the principal buildings still standing and the result of his inspec- tion is reassuring. He says the Hey ward building at the corner of Mont gomery and California streets is only slightly damaged and can be repaired at a cost of from s5.0o0 to $10,000. The Merchants Exchange. while badly gut ted, can be repaired at an expenditure of two to three hundred thousand. The building cost six million dollars. The front of the Rialto building will stand. but the rear was dynamited
 Others in the burnt district that have withstood the ravages of the flames to admit of rebuilding are
 The James Flood. Union Trust. new Chronicle. Call. Mutual Savings Bank. Crocker- Woolworth and the St. Fran cis Hotel.
 Buildings that are practically un- damaged are:
 The new postoff1ce, which wac re- ported in ruins. the mint and the old Custom House.

 Their Lives.

Salt Lake City, Utah. April 22.--The city Is filling with Fasteners who have escaped from San Francisco.
 MT. Sternberger. of the firm of Stern berger, Sim & Co.,, New York, is here with his wife. son and maid. He was on the fourth floor of the San Fran cisco Hotel. After hurriedly dressing he and his family rushed into Union Square.
 We had barely got seated" says Mir. Sternberger, when firemen came along asking for volunteers to take bodies from tho ruins just above the hotel. There was a ready and willing response. It was low building and all occu- pants were buried in the debris. We heard stifed cries and prayers. For Gods sake come this way oh, lift this of my back My God. am dy- ing and many others, nerving us to greater efforts.
 "Finally we got to some of them, bruised. bleeding, blinded by tho smoke and dust. terrified past reason. the poor fellows who fell in the street sank from utter exhaustion. Those that were pinned below we could not reach, and their seeming far-ofr cries for mercy and life will ring in my ears till death"
 Charles c. Lenfer. of Fort Dodge, Iowa, who was at the Grand Hotel, says:
 'I passed through Chinatown just as a good shock came. and all China town was in the streets. gesticulating. crying. running around and acting like a lot of monkeys If left to themselves, I know they must have all perIshed. The authorities drove them up the hill and out of range of the fire Super stition mastered them and all sorts of goods were produced from all sorts of places in their clothing, and joss paper was scattered all along the way.
 Barrow Brown, member of the M. c. Lilly Company of Kansas City, was in a private home when the shock cmae and says that while things dane ed about, it was not so terrifying as to those. in brick and stone buildings.
 Henry Herz a New York travelling man, after a terrible experience, made his escape and constituted himself A travelling relief committee. At Sacra- mento he ordered 2 shipment of eggs. Al Reno he set the housewives to bak ing bread and in Salt Lake he has raised a potato fund of $400. MT. Herz crossed the bay in launch. The boat man asked him how much money he had and when he replied with a mental reservation $46.6O, the boatman charr- ed him $466O and collected the money in advance

San Francisco. April 22r-The grand total of all the moneys subscribed to date Is S4.154,0oo.
 South of Market street tho loss of life was mostly brought about by the collapsing of many cheap and squalid lodging houses. Among others the caving of the Royal, corner of Fourth and Minna streets, added to the hor- TOT of the situation by the shrieks of its many scores of victims embedded in the ruins. The coliapsing of the Portland House. on Sixth street. be- tween Mission and Market. cdpne about in similar manner. Fully sixty per sons were entombed midst the crash of timbers and bricks. Maay of these were saved before the fire eventually crept to the scene. sS

 Part of the large Cosmopolitan House. corner of Fifth and Mission streets, collapsed at the very first trem- ble. Many of the sleepers were buried in the ruins: others escaped in their night clothes. At 77s Mission street the Wilson House with it's four stories and eighty rooms, fell to the ground a mass of ruins. As far as known very few of the inmates were rescued.

PLANS FOR NEW BUILDINGS.
Handsome Structure Will eso Up in
 San Francisco.

san FEaHcl8C0.
 San Francisco, April 22--Many of the most substantial business men and property owners of San Francisco ai- ready are in consultation with archf- tects as the work of clearing away the debris goes forward and corps of draughtsnien will be occupied preparing plans for the new buildings to adorn the city. tf
 It is understood that James D. Phe- Ian will be the first to rebuild on Mar ket Street. His plans are not complete but. call in general for a fine struc- ture at Market and OFarrell Streets. MT. Phelan recently purchased the property adjoining this reaching to Stockton Street. His intention is to cover the entire frontage with build ings as soon as 1t can be done Prac- tically every bank in San Francisco will be rebuilt. All of these institu- tions have eastern connections and many of them are affiliated with for eign banks.
 Owing to the great prosperity of San Francisco, the local institutions almost without exception have large deposits to their credit in New York and European capitals. This money will be available at once and after the strain of the movement has been re- lieved building operations will begin. P. W. Lilenthai, president of the Anglo California bank said:
 Now is the time for every man to put his shoulder to the wheel to build up the new city. There is going to be new city and I am going to do all can to make 1t the greatest in the world. It will mean work and lots of it, but the people of San Francisco are equal to the task"
 Several large establishments have sent messages to their customers throughout the state that theys will open for business in San Francisco as soon as the authorities permit. The commission houses will be among the first open. William Gree Harrison, president of the Olympic Club. an nounces that the club building which was completely destroyed by fire will be rebuilt

and the other towns along the pipe lines, but e.0o0.0Q0 gallons daily, is reaching and will continue to reach the city pipes.
 Within few hours. another supply of six million gallons daily will be poured into the city from College Hill. This will furnish water to the northern section of the city. Already water Is . >ing supplied to the Black Point and ! Aciftc Heights district and with an
 additional supply of 4.000.000 gallons daily which Is assured from lines that will be re-openei within day or two, the city will within four days be re- ceiving daily supply of between 14,- 100000 and 17,0o0.00o gallons, which Is practically equivalent to half the amount that was being furnished to the entire city prior to the earthquake. This makes 1t certain that the city will he habitab1e again almost immediately, food supply being assured.
