RED CROSS REPRE-
 SENTATIVE TALKS
HE TELLS OF THE GREAT DISAS. TER TO SAN FRANCISCO.
He Says Lots of Money is Needed to
 Allay the Suffering Los llAl Angeles Enters a ll!' Protest.

1 San Francisco, April 28.-Dr Ed ward Devine of New York, repre- sentative of the National Red Cross in the relief work in San Francisco, having gathered four days experi- ence with conditions prevailing here, at the request of the Associated Press yesterday made the following statement on his observations:
 When left New York on Thurs day, the 18th, we knew only that there had been a serious disaster, but in fact more than half of the disas- ter occurred after started. All sorts of rumors reached us en route as to loss of life, footing, shooting, panic and death. We heard nothing of the efficient organization of citizens ap- pointed by the mayor, comprising the best men in the community, acting in conjunction with General Funston and the United States army. As soon as the character of the local or ganization was understood President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft recog- nized that it was the proper channel through which to distribute these large gifts. The task was to co-ordin- ate the official and voluntary relief, to make 1t go as far as possible, to prevent waste and ensure, if possi- ble, that 1t would be sufficient, if the citizens committee and the local or ganization of the Red Cross were con- nected in the finance committee of relief and Red Cross funds. This committee, under the chairmanship of James D. Phelan, comprises twen- ty of the best citizens of the com munity and has entire charge of the financial end of the work of relief. Direction has been made to all to send all funds to the order of MT Phelan.
 The next important step was to arrange for the systematic reception and distribution of supplies. Forum ately, the splendid organization of the United States army is eminently fitted to cope with this difficulty. The army receives, unloads and trans ports all the supplies that are con signed for the relief of the sufferers. Officers in charge of the commissary department attend to the work of distributing to the various relief sta tions scattered through the city.
 The Red Cross Is replying to the requests as to the form contributions should take. We have many such requests and we have to report that we have abundant supplies of imper- ishable food on hand and that it will be much more to the purpose if in the future all contributions should be in cash. The finance committee of the relief and Red Cross funds has appointed Allan Pollock and myself purchasing agents under the general direction of the finance committee. While a large amount of money is to be available, the needs of San Francisco are very great and would not say word that would seal the springs of charity or in any way check the splendid work that is. be- ing done by the people of the east, north, south and west. Each dollar will be accounted for and so far as human endeavor can prevail, 1t will be wisely spent"

 in charge to grasp and take advantage of the crucial positions as they oc- cured in her races.
 If Capt. Barr had sailed the Wat son Shamrock instead of being the skipper of the defending vessel the cup would lave gone back.
 The last Shamrock by Fife was what the professionals call a ''one breeze boat" In a stiff breeze to windward she was a match for the Reliance. and in a strong wind, all that the boats could carry. would have been slightly better. Down the wind no line could be drawn on her, as she was not prop erly sailed. In light breeze to wind ward and some sea the Reliance showed her superiority in a pronounced man. ner. CIt must not be forgotten that most of the cup races have been sailed in a moderate wind and some seal Tn the triangular race 1t was a close match.
 And with the talk of building a new challenger comes interest in the man who has been chosen to design her. This man Mylne was employed by the Watson firm for years. and was with the naval architect who is now dead when he had the plans of a cup ehal- lenger on hand. Mylne has designed many small racing boats and some of them have been marked successes. Whether any of the genius possessed by Mir. Watson. as shown in his chal- lenging yacht of three years ago and in scores of other racers. has fallen upon his old employe or whether the latter has only been awaiting this op- portunity to show the world that he has talents equal to either the dead or living naval architects time and trial can only prove. As 1t stands to- day in America. there are shakings of the head when 1t is told that q com paratively untried designer of big racing craft Is to evolve a cup ehal- lenger.

POLICE RESTRAIN
 REPUBLICANS MISSOURI REPUBLICAN, LEAGUES
 IN A CLASH. Hand to Hand Encounters in Which Officers of the Law Played a Prominent Part in the
 Melee.

St Louis, April Swallowing the announcement yesterday by Chairman Orff, of the convention of the Missouri league of republican clubs that mo- tion to adjourn until May 10 had been carried, those opposed to the motion rushed to the speakers stand and po- licemen were called to restore order.
 Hardly had quiet been restored, when the convention was cOnvulsed anew by the introduction of resolu- tion scoring R. c. Kerens, of St Louis for leading the bolt in the last United States senatorial fight at Jefferson City.
 Again the police were called to re- strain several delegates who were en- gazing in hand to hand encounters on the platform. .N -
 During the excitement President Orff put the question and the kerens resolution was adopted without fur ther trouble.
 Secretary of Treasury Shaw did not attend the convention.

STILL AFTER THE
 AMERICAN CUP
SIR THOMAS UPTON FINDS DE-
 sIGNER FOR NEW YACHT.
How tho American Yachtsnen Feel
 in the Matter of Another Chal- !, lenge for Race Upon { the Seq.

Sir Thomas Lipton, after long and persistent hunt, has found a designer to plan and superintend the construc- tion of new challenger for the Amer ica's cup, which he has tried unSuc- cessfully three times to lift. Mr. AL fred Myline. of Glasgow, is the man. and it is said he has been commis- stoned to build a racer for Sir Thom- as which will beat anything the Amer ican yachtsmen can put into the water.
 But the news of Sir Lipton's plans has not excited much interest among the yachtsmen of New York further than to elicit from them the remark: "So Sir Thomas intends trying for another match. We'll, he may be ac- commodated, but then the cup matches are troublesome"
 With the talk of another series of international yacht races. arises the question as to whether the event would be governed by the new or the old rules. Since the last yacht race new yachting rules have ben adopted, but the feeling among the Americans is that they could accept no conditions which would bar the Reliance from the race, and if the winner of the contest with Shamrock III. is to de- fend the cup again the races would have to be sailed under the old rules. Fife was the designer of the Sham. rock l., which came over in 1889, and was. from an American standpoint a very crude affair." The mast was rath- CT short and we'll aft. The boom and gaff were very long, the jib very large and the bowsprit consequently long. while the clubtopsail was a jumbo. When the wind blew hard the gaff bent and the boom did likewise, mak- Ing a tight place in the mainsail; the mast went forward and the big jib went of to leeward, really making it a backsail
 And yet the designer of this boat had a wide experience in all kinds of craft, but overlooked the points that make large one-masted vessel sue cess.
 Watson was a genius, and, beginning with small boats, gradually worked up to those of the largest size. He pro- duced the best boat that ever came over here for the cup. She failed merely for the lack of the knowledge of the boat sailing problem and the lack of judgment on the part of those

EFFECTS OF THE ERUPTION.
Desolation Created and Much Property
Destroyed by Vesuvius

In the light of San Francisco's des.
truction. the following from the Chron-
iele is interesting;
The latest eruption of Mount Vesu.
vius has produced results similar to
those which accompanied the sudden
outburst of Mont Pelee on the island
of Martinique, only on a much vaster
scale Populous towns and villages
clustering around the base of the ia.
nous volcano have been depopulated
and destroyed. Many of them have
been buried in the ashes which have
been emitted for days from the throat
of the crater. And streams of lava
have paured down the mountain g
fanks on all sides. burying vineyards
and orchards in their destructive
course.
The latest eruption Of vesuvius has
been equaled in the recorded history
Of the mountain only by that which
buried Pompeii and Herculaneum. In
deed, II is asserted that is effects, save
in the loss Of human life, have been
more disastrous than the eruption Of
A. d. 70, which destroyed those two
cities. The mortality in the present
catastrophe is, in fact, much less than
that of 1851, when $4,000 persons are
reported to have lost their lives. But
the destruction Of property is held to
be greater than that which followed
any previous eruption. because the
lava streams and the showers Of ashes
have spread over a larger area. 1t is
estimated that the property loss will
reach s2O,OOo.OOO.
1t may prove later. however, thai
the present estimate Of actual damage
is excessive, as was the case in Martin
ique aud in Central America. Vine
yards and orchards in the West Indian
island were supposed TO have been
completely destroyed by the ashes
which buried them. And the coffee
plantations in Gautemala on another
oceisaon were at first reported to have
suffered a similar fate. subsequently
It proved that many properties ia both
dOuntries Survived and that the volran'
