The situation In San francisco at
two O'Clock this Friday) morning ts
us follows.
San Francisco Ii a heal of ashes.
The property loss is placed at
1850, 900, 900 to $500, 900 900. A con-
servntive estimate places the loss OF
life at 1000, but this number may
be increased; in fact, the present
estimate is mere guess work.
More than twenty cities and towns
other than San Francisco have been
destroyed in part or in whole.
The property loss In outside places

The loss Of life in outside places
is estimated at 500.
The people made homeless exceed
100000.
The only public OF s~emi-public
building standing in San Francisco
is the United States mint.
A slight remOr shook the Pacific
coast yesterday from San Francisco
to Los Angeles, without doing great
damage.
The ~fierceness of the flames is I'M
diminished, and continue to spread.
The entire retail district has been
destroyed.
The dead lie in CUTTERS and bodies
I'LL the streets at points in the
burned section.
The people have fed to the hills
without making any attempt to re-
cover the bodies.
Flames are sweeping the hill resi-
dence districts.
Thousands are without food.
San Francisco, April 20.-San Fran
| cisco Is the city desolate. 1t seemed
| that the acme of its misery was reached
| at dusk, when flames burst from all
| sides of the beautiful Hotel Fairmont
| the palace that above every other struc-
ture was apparently most strongly in
| trenched against the attack Of all-com-
| Stunning fire. And surrounding that lofty
| pinnacle of fame, as far as the eye
| could see to the south, to the east and
| out far TO the west, lay in cruel fantas-
| tic heaps charred and smoking, all
| that remained of a prosperous city. The
| metropolis of the western slope was in
ashes.
Fleeing From the Fire.
Thousands Of people are fleeing
| upon thousands of people are fleeing
| from the fire. They are f1ocking to the
| ferries, to the parks, to the military
| reservation and to the suburbs. Resi-
| dents of the hillsides in the central por-
ton of the city seemingly were safe
from the roaring furnace that was con-
| Stunning the business section. They
| watched the towering mounds of flame
| and speculated as to the extent of the
| territory that was doomed. Suddenly
| there was whispered alarm up and down
| the long line Of watchers, and they
| hurried away to drag clothing, cooking
| utensils and scant provisions through
| the streets. From Grant avenue the
| procession moved westward. Men and
| women dragged trunks, packed huge
bundles of blankets, boxes of provisions,
everything. Wagons could not be hired
| except by paying the most extortionate
rates.

terry OF the fate of Father Gapon ap
parently was cleared up Sunday by the
discovery Of q corpse which was al
most positively identified as that OF
the former priest, hanging In an up
per chamber Of lonely villa In the
suburb Of Onerki, Finland.
The villa was rented April for
the summer and n deposit paid by an
unknown man from st. Petersburg,
who. after visiting the house several
times In company with a young work
man, disappeared April IL, taking the
key with him. The proprietor OF the
villa alarmed at the non.appearance
OF the tenant. notified the police. who
entered the house. Breaking down q
door they were confronted by a body
in a long coat hanging from a nail
the feet touching the floor
Decomposition OF the face made pos
tive Identification difficult, but the
features resembled those OF Gapon,
and the clothing corresponded with
that worn by the missing labor leader,
AS the usual symptoms Of strangu.

that the man was killed elsewhere, and
his body brought to the villae on the
