The survivors from San Francisco
who arrived in this city at noon over
the Valley line of the Southern Pa

unbelievable.

San Francisco. Cal, Apr. 19.-Day
dawned on a scene of death and desc
lation. During the night the flames
had consumed many of the city'S fin
est structures. and skipped in doZ-
en- directions to the residence por-
tions. The fire made its way over into
the North Beach section, and spring
ing up to the south spread out along
the shipping section down the Bay
shore, over the hills and across tow
ards Third and Townsend streets.
This completes the destruction of the
entire district known as South of
Market street.
After darkness set in last night
thousands of homeless people were
making their way with blankets and
scant provisions to Golden Gate park
and the beach to find shelter. Down
town everything is in ruins. Not

are crumbled into heaps. Factories
and commission houses lie smolder-
ing on their former sites. All the
newspaper plants have been rendered
useless.
Estimates of the loss in San Fran
cisco will reach from $150,000.O0 to
5000, ZOO. 900. These figures are in the
rough, and nothing definite can be
told until partial accounting is ta-

On every side there is death and

least 500 met death.
During the night hundreds of
troops patrolled the streets and
drove back the crowds, while hund-
reds more were set to work assisting
the fire and police departments.
During the afternoon yesterday
three thieves met death from rife bul
lets while at work in the ruins.
The water supply was entirely cut
of, and throughout the day blasts
of dynamite were heard every few
moments as the firemen tried this
means of checking the flames, but
the fire leaped through the gaps and
the work utterly failed.

Town of Santa Rosa Wrecked.


San Francisco, via. Oakland, April
19.-Reports from the interior are
most alarming. Santa Rosa is a to-
tai wreck. There are 10000 homeless
people there. The loss of life cannot
be estimated. 1t will probably reach
a thousand. AS the last great seizmic
tremor spent its force the whole bu-
siness portion of the town tumbled
into ruins. Not one business building
was left intact. What was not des-
troyed by earthquake was swept by
fire. This spread to the residence dis
tricts which were practically destroy
ed. Messengers bring tidings of des-
truction at Healsburg, Guerneville.
Cloverdale. Hopland and Ukiah. In ev
cry case there is loss of life. To the
south, Stanford University at Palo
Alto is in ruins

The City is Doomed.
Oakland, (9:OO a. m.) Apr 19.-The
fire is still raging throughout San
Francisco, and there is no possibility
of stopping it until it exhausts itself
for want of material. The city is
doomed. The authorities are still dy
namiting buildings in the vain hope
of checking the progress of the
flames, but a new misfortune has be-
fallen the place. The explosives for
blowing up buildings are becoming

cry business building and half the
residences are destroyed
The fire is unabated. The st. Fran
els Hotel anu the Merchants EX

hotel is threatened. A portion of the
Mark Hopkins Institute of Art is de-
stroyed, and the entire structure will
probably go. The Chronicle building
is skeleton. The James Flood steel

Powell is leaning out of plumb.

No Communication at Sacramento

No Communication at Sacramento
Sacramento, Cal, Apr. 19.-Both
the Postal and Western Union tele-
graph companies have practically lost
communication with San Francisco.
The wires come and go down in a fit
full way. At one place 1000 feet of
wire has sunk out of sight, and in
many places the poles have toppled
over. The wind is blowing a gale and
mixing the wires in many places.
The citizens of Sacramento at an
impromptu meeting at the court
house steps this morning raised fifty
thousand dollars in twenty minutes
for the relief of earthquake and fire
sufferers at San Francisco. 1t was
decided at the meeting to Immediate

fering is alleviated.
