San Francisco, CAL, June 7.-The
military authorities are gradually
withdrawing all government forces
from the city and within few weeks
San Francisco will be entirely under
the protection of the regular police
force, assisted by large number OF
specials who have been added to the
list since the fire.
Insurance Tangle Causes Delay.

derwriters' Adjusting Bureau so that
settlements Of the big fire losses in
San Francisco can be made without
additional demoralizing delay, the dis
ruption Of the organization Is expect
ed. A crisis in the affairs of the In
surance body, which was formed six
weeks ago for the purpose OF expedtt
ing the adjustment and payment oi
fire claims, is rapidly nearing. Prac-
tically all of the companies interested
in the San Francisco losses, and there
are III of them, are affiliated with the
Fire Underwriters Adjusting Bureau
Today eighty-one companies signed a
notice that policy holders would be
permitted to begin the removal OF
debris at once under certain condi,
tions, and seventy-two of the concerns
issued notice of an extension until
August 18th of the time for filing
proofs of loss. The failure of the re.
calcitrant companies to join in grant
ing these considerations is one of the
causes of the lack Of harmony.
Reconstruction Work In City.
San Francisco, June 7.--Where six
weeks ago there was a dreary waste
between Union, Francisco, Kearney
and Taylor Streets, made by the de-
vastating fire, there are now a great
many new buildings, plain but com
Portable, which furnish homes fol
many who will nave protection
against climatic changes until such
times as they can rebuild more ex
pensive structures. This is particu
larly true as to the residence portion
of that section familiarly known as
North Beach. That the people who
are having temporary homes reared
are manifesting a desire to do better
when conditions will permit is appar
ent from the fact that they are build
ing on the rear of their lots and clear
ing away the front for future improve
ments.
Many of those who lived in wha,
was known as the Latin Quarter" II
this district have located on the fla
north of Filbert Street, between Val
Ness Avenue and Octavia Street, {
section that was not damaged. The
musical voices Of the foreign-speak
ing element are heard on all sides
and as one passes along the streets o
that locality it seems as If he were
in foreign lands. In time the oil
Latin Quarter" will be rebuilt, ant
the talk at this time is to put up man!
buildings typical of the various Euro
pean countries from which the inhab
itants of the quarter originally came
Should the idea be carried out, tn
quarter will be one Of the most pic
turesque sections Of new San Fran
cisco.
AS yet nothing has been done t
rebuild the large cannery near Mont
gomery Avenue that was known a
Fontana's, but it Is stated that a
soon as insurance tangles can be un
raveled the place will be restored an
business resumed. There Is ais
some talk of rebuilding the Palac
and the Crystal baths.
On the line of Montgomery Avenu
many men are engaged clearing ava
the ruins preparatory to rebuilding
and already a number of stores ar
opened ior business.
On the western slope of Telegrap
Hill many small homes are in cours
of erection, proving that the owner
of the land do not want to deseI
their former residence sites.
