San Francisco, Cal, April "a
Night fall of Tuesday found stricken
San Francisco a veritable bee hive OF
industry, and during the day almost
incredible progress was made clear
ing away the debris throughout the
ruined section and getting things into
shape, so that the work Of rebuilding
could be hurried on.
All danger of pestilential epidem-
ic has been averted owing to the rigid
sanitary measures adopted by the au-
thorities and there are now but four
certain cases, and five suspected cas-
es, of smallpox In the contagious dis
ease camps. There are, however 854
cases of pneumonia in the big general
hospital on the Presidion ground,
most of whom are women and chill
dren and this number Is being con-
stantly added to as result Of the re-
cent heavy rains. There are plenty of
doctors and nurses on hand, however,
and nothing is being left undone to
improve the situation of the suffer
ers.
The Exodus Continues.
The general exodus of the survivors
from the temporary camps to other
sections of the state where they will
be Hospitality cared for until such
time as they are able to return to
their homes, continued with unabated
vigor today. There are less than 5000
people left in Golden Gate Park and
probably double that number in the
Preside and Western reserve camps.
All of the other remaining inhabit-
ants are comfortably housed in the
structures that escaped destruction
by the earthquake and fire that fol-
lowed.
Burned District Outlined.
The authorities today, after care
full inspection by the chief of police
outlined the burned districts which
can be easily traced on a map of the
city as follows:
Beginning in front of the ferry
building and running south just in
side of the docks to Brannon and
First streets, west in Brannon to Sec
ond, south to Townsend, west to Cor
ner Eighth and Division, northwest to
Division and Harrison, south to Twen-
tieth, west to Church, north to Mar
ket, east to Franklin, north to Jack
son, east to Van Ness, north to Bay,
east along shore destroyed docks to
Sansome, thence along East street to
point of beginning. Docks and piers
from Sansome south were not burn
ed. Some portions of the city out
side the limits above described were
somewhat damaged by the earth
quake"
Distribution Of Relief Fund.
General Greeley, Mayor Schmitz,
General Funston, the finance commit
tee of the General Relief Committee,
and DIR. Devine, agent of the American
Red Cross Society, held session at
Fort Madison today, at which it was
decided just how the relief fund is to
be distributed. and what action is to be
taken in preserving order. The ma.
tional guardsmen on duty here are to
be relieved at once, and their places
will be taken by $500 men of the reg.
ular army that General Greeley has
asked the war department to detail to
this military post.
The work of transferring the pro-
visions from the water front to the va.
rious distributing stations went on all
day Tuesday, more than 1000 tons
having been sent to the places where
they can be most available.
No Additional Shocks.
There were no additional earthquake
shocks today and no damage was
done by the one that passed over the
city late last night.
The troops and the regular police
under the command of Chief Dinan
have done yeoman service today, dis.
arming all persons who did not have a
permit to carry firearms. Many re.
volvers and rifles were taken and have
been turned over to the property clerk.
The bodies buried by soldiers in
trenches in the streets and public
squares are now being exhumed for
identification and burial in cemeteries.
A Temporary Morgue.
A temporary morgue has been open.
ed in Hayes Valley where all bodies
are being taken. Despite the fact
that General Greeley and his aide
Captain Winn, declare that the fatal
tiles are only 277, Coroner William
Walsh tonight insisted that his esti,
mate Of 1000 deaths is absolutely cor.
rect. He claims that his figures have
been compiled after careful examina.
