EXPECT INSURANCE
WILL BE PAID
IN FULL

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 24-The Tribune
today says:
There was much talk in the financial
district of this city yesterday to the
effect that several American fire in
surance companies would have to go
out of business on account of their
losses by the San Francisco conhagra-
ton.
Up to the close of business, however,
no company had admitted inability to
pay losses and officials of some of the
companies mentioned in the reports rs
being crippled announced that losses
will be paid in full and that the com.
panies would go on.
1t was said that in several cases The
stockholders would make up the def
ciencies by assessments.
Fire insurance officials in this city
received many dispatches from their
agents in San Francisco yesterday but
the messages did not give much tnfor-
nation regarding the losses.
In most cases the agents reported that
all the maps and other records of in
surance at the agencies were in vaults
which cannot be reached on account OF
the fire in the ruins of the building.
In the absence of more definite in
formation than was on file in the New
York Office insurance men would make
no estimate of the losses of the COM
panies yesterday.
The belief seems to be gaining ground
however that the insurance losses would
not reach the high estimate of last
week and probably would be below
SIZE, ,000, 900.

NEW YORK RANKS
FIRST IN RELIEF
WITH $3,000,000
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 24.-That the con-
tributions of New York for the relief of
the victims on the Pacific coast will
exceed $3,500,000 is now assured.
The state legislature, in response to
a special message from Governor Hig-
gins, passed a bill appropriating $25O,0O0
to the relief fund.
In New York City it is estimated that
the sum already gathered amounts to
approximately $S,0O0,000 and contribu-
tions continue to pour in
The city of Buffalo has appropriated
$50.000, and not city or town in the
state has failed to add it's quota to the
cause of relief
The total amount collected by the
chamber of commerce is now $671 ,035.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Working
in conjunction, the government agen-
cies and the Red Cross are rapidly per-
fecting plans for the relief of the sit
uation in San Francisco.
Yesterday the national association re-
ceived a remittance of $500, 900 from the
New York branch of the Red Cross.
Inquiries were made through Surgeon
General O'Reilly as TO the need in San
Francisco for doctors or female nurses.
From Lieut.. Col. Lorney, chief sur
geon in charge of medical work on the
coast, came the answers that physicians
and female nurses will not be required,
those from San Francisco and outlying
cities having freely offered their SER
vices.
The surgeon general, however, has ar
ranged to supply all needed medical
supplies for three months for 100000

STREETS
BY Associated Press.

| BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 24-As a
welcome relief to the officials and the
sitizens of San Francisco who have
Hooked upon the ruins of the city and
upon the monstrous piles of bricks and
stone and twisted iron that were once
their homes and places of business, is
the announcement that the Southern
Pacific railroad will aid in every way
with the work of clearing away the
debris.
The railroad officials are ready to
build track through the heart of the
devastated city from Harrison street to
the bay and to run their fiat cars in
for the wreckage that must be remove
before new buildings can arise and nor
NAL conditiones be restored.
In this great work it is announced
that between 5000 and 1000 men will be
employed. The railroad will carry the
debris wherever the authorities want
it taken, and by so doing will make
possible the performance of the enor-
nous task that has been terrifying to
those who looked forward to 1t with
the knowledge that it must be done,
however tremendous.
Will Ask For Franchise
1t is expected an application will be
made Immediately to the supervisors
of San Francisco for a franchise for
this spur track.
The exact route is not known, but
the rails will perhaps be laid along the
lines of least resistance and under the
express stipulation that they shall be
removed as soon as the work of clear
ing away the wreckage of the earth
quake and fire has been completed.
r. II. Hartman, president Of the
Southern Pacific company, Is here to
inaugurate the work and to see that it
is faithfully performed, if the sugges-
ton of the railroad men meets with
favor at the hands of the city officials.
At the meeting of bankers yesterday
Mr.. Hartman stated that he would do
all in his power and work with every
resource at his command for the re-
building of San Francisco and the preg-
ervation of the city's good name.
His remarks to the bankers bolstered
their hopes and gave them new cour-
age by contradictng, as it were, the
rumors for several days prevalent that
the railroad offices and interests would
all be permanently be removed to Oak
land.
Just when the work of removing the
debris will be begun is not known
Business affairs are now in too chaotic
condition to go about anything but
the preservation of order, the main
tenance of sanitary conditions and the
alleviation of the sufferings of the
homeless thousands.
No doubt, however, the railroads will
lose no time in beginning the work
it stands ready to do.
In connection with the clearance of
the wreckage the employment of sew
eral thousand men will in great meas
ure reunite scattered and separated
families and enable them to earn their
own living.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-"Say to
the people of California, of the United
States and of the world, that there is
no epidemic in San Francisco and nc
danger of one.
IF we are not absolutely free from
contagious diseases, we at least have
fewer of them than we have under the
circumstances any right to expect.
Indeed, we have at this ploment few
er cases of such diseases than we had
| a month ago, and there is nothing in
the present condition of affairs in San
Francisco that would lead us as medi-
cal men to fear an outbreak
"The sanitation of the city is abso-
lutely under control. l wish TO impress
this upon the people of San. Francisco
and of the outside world, for l have
information to lead me to believe that
alarmist reports emanating from GER
tain sources in San Francisco may re-
suit in an embargo being placed upon
movements of refugees from the city.
1.-The calamity we have endured is
certainly sufficient, without adding to
this additional and unWarranted dis
tress."
Statement by DR.. J. w. Ward
This statement, made by DIR. j. w.
Ward, chairman of the health commit
tee, at the meeting of the general COM
mittee this morning, was received with
applause.
The dostor was distinctly impressive,
and his remarks were at once supple
mented by a motion that it was the
sense of the committee that the Asso-
ciated Press should disseminate this
important news through its agencies.
DR.. Ward, continuing, said the city
had been divided into three grand di-
visions. which had been divided into
sub-districts, which enabled him to as
sure the committee that before night
fall every block in the unburned por-
ton of the city would be visited and
inspected by the representatives of the
board of health
Three hundred plumbers are now at
work in all sections of the city. The
broken mains in the business districts
are being repaired and the outlets
closed.
In the unburned residence section the
sewers are being flushed and cleaned
and water pipes set in order as fast
as possible. Two weeks will probably
be required for this work. BY that
time there will be running water in
all the tent houses.
1t is now stated by the officers of the
board of health that the staff forces of
physicians and nurses at all hospitals
are complete.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-All day
long the roar and crash of dynamite
explosions have sounded like desultory
firing by scattered parks of artillery.
Gangs of griny faced, determined
men are hourly risking their lives
among the ruins planting and detonat-
ing heavy charges of the high explo-
sive beneath. the shaking walls of
shattered buildings.
From the water front up both sides
of Market street the destroyers go
steadily on throwing down the shat
tered buildings, walls and chimneys in
great winrows of brick, mortar and
granite.
The structural steel of the newer
buildings withstands the explosive and
the slender rafters of the upper works
are bent and twisted into fantastic
shape. This work goes on for the safe
ty of the survivors of the catastrophe
of a week ago.
Today has again been marked by con-
tinued abuse of the Red Cross emblem.
That badge, which has been inviolate
of nations and has been respected
through pestilence and horrors of war,
is now worn by toughs and rowdies to
cover acts of petty thievery and enable

Militia Mustered Out

The state militia has been mustered
out and there is a general feeling OF
relief. Many stories of wanton cruelty
and even murder are told on the streets
and in the camps, and the names of
militiamen are connected with these
reports
The soldiers of the regular army
with their perfect discipline, have been
at once a great help to the people, and
no one has accused their officers of any
acts of petty tyranny or wanton cruelty.
Word comes from San Jose that a
vigilance committee has been organ
lied there and that there is no law
lessness at that place
r. Corral, son of the vice president
of Mexico, is safe and is living with
friends in Oakland. The Lovage fam
ily for the members of which grave
fears were for many days entertained,
are safe in Golden Gate park.
Out at the Presidio the earthquake
made havoc. The barracks in many
cases were badly injured and the heavy
guns in the fort were displaced.
The scarcity of bread since Wednes
day last has led the government to es-
tablish a bakery on Polk street and
hundreds of loaves are being baked
daily.
With the food supply plentiful and
the work of clearing the city of debris
progressing favorably the general
spirit is steadily growing more cheer-
full.
