BLAZE LIGHTS MIDNIGHT SKY.
Confagration Seen From Oakland
Appears Unchecked.

appears Unchecked.
Oakland, CAL, April 10. - mid.
night - At this hour the light from
burning San Francisco does not appear
to have diminished, and is almost, il
not quite, as brilliant as last night.
Although the flames have swept their
way three miles westward from the
water front, the entire sky is illumi-
mated by the glare of the unchecked
con1agration. There is no wind and
only the faint st suspicion of a breeze
here tonight, but it is said there is a
stiff breeze blowing over San Francisco
a gigantic column of smoke hangs over
the desolated city, the apex forming
fantastic shapes thousands of feet in
the air and slowly drifting away to the
northward.
Although telegraphic communication
was established this evening with the
Ferry building on the San Francisco
side, only very limited amount of
matter could be handled. The tele-
graph company would receive but few
hundred words of press matter. giving
sne wires over to pressing commercial
business. 1t is believed that by to-
morrow morning additional facilities
will be had. '.e'
The telegraph companies are com.
pletely swamped by the enormous vol
ume OF messages reaching here, as well
~ tne crush of business fled for the
outside world. 1t is unlikely there will
90 any further news matter from San
francisco before morning.
