San Francisco-Golden Gate Park
and surrounding hills resemble one
vast picnic ground. Tents have been
erected everywhere. People thus sit
uated are philosophical. One great
danger is that the food supply will
run out. Every grocery in San Fran
cisco has been taken by the authorities
and each family is being sold only one
article at a time.
The police and military prohibit
over charging. Funston announced
that rations would soon reach the city
and then the people will be supplied
from the PreAdio.
From the water front burned the
city can be seen in all it's smoky ma
kedness. From the Pacific mail dock

distance Of two miles, wreckage and
ruin is the rule.
Looking up Market street, the city
can be seen, smouldering mass of
ruins. The great mercantile manufac-
turies, mercantile houses, banks, rail
road Office buildings, are nowhere to
be seen, and only in spots is there so
much as tower of burned structure
remaining. There is scarcely any wat
er to relieve the thirst of the suffering.
The heat is the threatening danger,

lying in the ruins and the streets.
The authorities are doing all in their
power to remove the bodies in order
that pestilence may be prevented.
Water is the incessant cry of the fire.

fight, The other to drink, but there is
only scant drinking supply.

Oakland ferry house is crowded with
about three thousand men, women and
children, of all nationalities, and from
all conditions of life. Many Of them
are scantily clad and are carrying ar
ticles which they are trying to save.
A train load of provisions reached
Oakland last night from Los Angeles,
and this morning the ferry house
crowd had their first meal in twenty
four hours. This forenoon a hospital
train from Los Angeles arrived. Fun
ston dispatched an order to Los An
geles to purchase two hundred thou
sand rations, consisting Of bread, vege-
tables, meat and sugar. Three hun
dred thousand army rations from Sc
attic are expected early in the week.
