Colonel Hawley cited authorities show

that he was not making d motion and

no rights for they can still proceed as

Washington, May 2s.-From various

as the great hindrance to foreign trade
with Manchuria caused by the circuIa-

ansese generals in the field during the

were missed In the confusion Of the first
day began to come in yesterday. The
Cosmopolitan Hotel collapsed with great
loss Of life. The early morning vegetable
market was filed with pedlers. The
roof fell in and the number Of lead at this
point is estimated at twenty.
The fact remains that this fourth day
marked the return Of hope to San Francisco.
From the outside the city Ia receiving every
encouragement which the American people
can give it. Never were offers OF aid %
many ot>so hearty.
Gov. Pardee yesterday decided to make
tomorrow and Tuesday public holidays,
and so proclaimed them. This viii probably
relieve the banking situation legally.
The fire must have threatened the water
front again late at night. for Major Devol
telegraphed the War Department just be-
fore midnight that the army tugs slocum
and McClelland, assisted by the navy tugs,
saved the waterfront, but only after the
most heroic efforts.

LAST STAND OF THE FIRE.
Flames Around Telegraph Hill Made rs ),
900 More Persons Homeless.

Flames Around Telegraph Hill Made u.s.
OOO More Persons Homeless.
OAKLAND, Cal, April 21.-As an indica-
ton of the mad flight of the inhabitants
is the fact that the bodies Of two babies
were found on Union street. On the water
front the only structure intact is the ferry
building, but the authorities fear that is
unsafe.
During the night the flames swept from
the top of Telegraph Hill down to the level
where the lumber yards stood. Thence
they whirled out toward the military reser-
walton, where more than 1000 persons are
encamped. For a time there was fear
that they might be entrapped, as a large
number Of oil and gas tanks were in danger
on the level ground near Megg's Wharf.
The fire last night rendered $4,000 more
homeless. 1t was one Of the fiercest
Of the four days burning. 1t circled
around the two hills. In an ind~escribably
short time the inhabitants were all but cut
of from escape. Many were driven to the
submits Of the hill, where they huddled,
hoping against fate that they would escape
death. At the very crest of the hills the
fire ceased, leaving houses intact.
Many of those who plunged toward the
bay in flight were caught by the flames.
Their bodies were discovered and gathered
at Washington Square.
Thousands were aided on thu water
front by the United States marines and the
craft anchored in the bay. All efforts to
fight the fire in this vicinity proved un-
availing, and a real stand was not made
until the waterfront was reached. Here
six fire tugs fought the blaze for about
t~hree-quarters of a mile, when the fire was
finally checked.
Mayor Schmitz and Gen. Funston, with
their corps Of aids, are getting things in
good shape. They have their schemes for
relief and constitution dow to a practical
working basis and hold out every hope for
success. The military is doing splendid
work. While their methods may seem
harsh at first to people who have never
been subject to routine discipline, all are
ready to submit to Inconvenience affecting
personal liberty. especially if they know
this il for the good and welfare of the multi
tude.

60 out of the general delivery window.
This Is o oumbersome and almost I'M
possible way Of getting an accumulation Of
mail to perhaps 200. 900 people, yet &c seems
to be the only way. They are four days
behind, Of course, and the pile Of mail
bags looks like wheat sacks In o granary.
Besides that, half the United States must
have been writing letters to San Francisco
in these four days and when these come
the force will be swamped. The Post ohice
Department never before faced such Q
problem as this.
Then there must be a heavy money order
aud registered mail from folks who arc
trying to rush money to friends and rela-
tives in San Francisco. The problem OF
Identification for money orders and regis
tered mail is another thing which makes
the heart Of the post oflce olerAB sinh.
They will have the assistance of the carrier
force, or such Of them as have remained in
the city, since there is nothing now except
the Western Addition and the suburbs to
carry mail to.
MPoR MATERNITY HOSPITAL.
The University of California has taken
one small problem of the hands Of the Oak
land authorities. Since the first day babies
have been born out Of doors in all the con-
centration camps. To-day the university
has established a temporary maternity
hospital, under the direction Of Prof. Walter
MCGEE, physical director. A great many
women about to become mothers were sent
over there to-day.
The Cosmopolitan Hotel, another big barn
Of a lodging house situated in the tenement
district south of Market, caved in at the
first shock Of the earthquake and buried the
dodgers. 1t is impossible to say how many
were killed, but the loss here was large.
The ruins were burned over before the
bodies could be taken out, and this was
one Of the places from which the soldiers
took corpses to-day for burr al.

Soldier Kills Sufferer TO Prevent Ills Being

Burned to Death.
Los ANGELES, April ?l.-Miss Margaret
Underhill Of San Francisco, who arrived
here from that city last night, says she saw
a soldier shoot a man who was pinned in a
burning building and could not be rescued.
Three times my friends and l stopped
to make a camping place in the street where
we thought that the flames that were NOV
ing west would not reach u.s." she said.
"We stopped to watch the soldiers and fire.
men who, with timbers from the wrecka &c /,
were at work on the front of a burning
frame building.
The front Of the three story structure
had fallen outside. Pinned beneath the
structure was a man who pleaded piteously
with the men who worked TO release him.
His head and shoulders projected from
the wreckage. With his free arm he tried
to help the workers by pulling at the tim
bers. One by one the men were driven
back by the approaching flames until at
last only one soldier remained. He was
blistered by the heat.
'Good-by,' the soldier shouted as a
sheet OF flame swept around the corner of
the building. The place was a roaring
hell. The soldier picked up his rife, which
was standing against a broken timber, and
turned to go. From where We stood We
could see the timber that held the man
down smoke. His hair aud mustache were
singed.
For Gods sake shoot me- he begged.
The solGier turned ard went back to within
TWENTY-FIVE feet of the man and said some
thing. We could not heal what he said.
Then he started TO walk away.
shoot me before you CO. yelled the
man. The soldier turned quickly. Then
we heard the rifle crack and knew that he
had done so.'
