Oakland, Gala, April 24.-Another
earthquake shock occurred at 1910 last
night, and increased the anxiety of San
Francisco's stricken people. 1t lasted
but few seconds, and no damage is re-
ported. The shock, though. caused
many OF the people to remain awake
through the night, as they feared further
disturbances.
The rain OF yesterday and the new
shock has decided many of the refugees
to leave San Francisco, and the exodus
started again early this morning with
renewed force. Transportation is not

"Where do you want to go?" and
chow many in your party 7"
The shock OF last night shows plainly
that San Francisco is nervous wreck
The first lay, when the big quakea &C.
CURED, the people waited for the final
shock that would sink the city, then

get the shocks as The ravages OF the fire
6end gave them something else 10 think
ot Now the slightest culver causes
them to cover their races.

ever be obtained. In sl cases it has
been necessary to bury the bodies at
once ard only about five per cent of the
victims Gre identified. 1t would, there
fore, be as easy to get out list of the
victims of POmp,ii rs it would be OF
those who we're overwhelmed in San
Francisco. 1t is estimated that 800
bodies have teen recovered and buried,
and men clearing the debris are con-
stanlly finding additional victims.
