AN ABUNDANCE OF COIN.
Branch Mint Well Stocked With Gold
and Silver.

Branch Mint Well Stocked With Gold
and Silver.
San Francisco, April 23.-One for
tunate condition still remains with San
Francisco. There is an abundance of
gold and silver coin available in the
vaults of the United States branch
mint in this city. The, mint had al
most completed it's coinage for the fis-
cal year when the earthquake and fire
interrupted operations.
A significant indication of the early
restoration of law and order and safety
in this devastated city is the fact that
there is not single soldier or militia
man, or regular police officer guarding
the many millions of dollars in the
vaults of the mint. The soldiers and

Money Paid for Church Property in
Philippines is Divided.

Rome, April 23.-The controversy
over the distribution of the $7,000,O00
paid by the United States government
for the purchase of friar lands in the
Philippine islands, has been definitely
settled by the Vatican.
According to the decision made pub
lie today, the interests on the money
will be divided into three separate
sums which will be distributed yearly
by the Vatican as follows:
One-third to the Philippine dioceses,
according to their need; another to
the institutions erected by the religi-
GUS orders, largely for their missions
in the far east, and also to support the
aged friars who were in the Philip
pines.
Cardinal M. Del Val, the papal Sec
retary of state, warmly urged a settle
ment OF this matter and it was largely
due to his efforts that it was disposed
of on the above basis.
The decision of the Vatican is of
great importance to the friar orders in
the Philippines, as the entire sum has
been tied up owing to conflicting
claims, some of the orders still insist
ing that their title to lands included in
the sale, were exempt, pending pay
ment of the purchase money.

st. Petersburg, April 23.-Instead
of frankly accepting the verdict of the
people as evidenced by the rule Of
election and preparing to make every
possible concession to the parliament,
the government seems to be deliDer-
ately entrenching all its threatened
prerogatives with the purpose OF CIV

FATHER GAPoN ALIVE.
Condemned to indefinite lmprison-
ment by Holy Synod.

nent by Holy Synod.
ST. Petersburg, April 23.-Friends
of Father Gapon, whom a dispatch
published in England said had been
hung by the revolutionists, claim to
have information that the ex-priest
has fallen, not into the hands of the
revolutionists, but into those of the
holy synod, which condemned him for
forsaking priestly orders to indefinite
Imprisonment in one of the many
gloomy monasteries used by the
church as prisons. There have been
many other cases of men being i'm
INJURED and disappearing forever.
Father Gapon's common law wife, it
is alleged, petitioned the synod to
name his prison and for mitigation
of sentence.

San Francisco, April 23.-The new
San Francisco which will rise from
the ashes of the old was in it's first
stages Of rebuilding today. After Ave
days of confusion and almost superhu-
man effort on the part Of the citizens
of California's metropolis directed to
the great task of sheltering, feeding
and otherwise caring for the homeless
thousands, complete order has been
re-established and attention turned
to the future.
Throughout the great business dis
trict, where devastation of the flames
was most complete, walls were being
razed, buildings that had not disinte-
grated before the intense heat were
being inspected with a view to re-
occupancy and even ground was being
cleared for immediate construction OF
some sort of building in which to re-
sumo business at the earliest possible
time, In short, confidence has been
restored. The assurance OF insurance
companies, the measures taken ny IL
nancial institutions, the prompt ana
reassuring word that had reached the
business men of San Francisco from
eastern financial centers, all these
things went to clear away any feel
ing of uncertainty that might have ex-
listed in the minds of the timid that
San Francisco would not be what II
was, the greatest center OF popula-
tion and business on the Paclhc
coast
While the work of complete de-
struction of the dangerous ruins was
progressing along this portion OF Mar
ket street, men intent upon rebuild
ing at the earliest possible moment
were climbing to the upper stories
of the Chronicle, Call and other tall
buildings nearer the ferry for the pur-
pose of estimating repairs that are to
be Immediately commenced.
Prominent Man Shot.
One OF the most unfortunate nap
penings since the city has been un-
der joint police supervision OF the
government, municipality and state
militia. was the killing at an early
hour today of Major H. G. Tilden, a
prominent member of the citizens gen
eral committee and we'll known mer-
chant in the extreme southwestern
part of the city. The killing was done
by three members of self-constitutel
vigilance committee who fired upon an
automobile carrying Major Tilden, a
friend and the chauffeur returning |
from Menlo park, whence Illden had
gone with his family. The three men,
displaying no badges OF authority, or
dered the party in the automobile to
halt, following the demand almost
Immediately with a volley of pistol
shots. Tilden was shot through the
back and instantly killed, and the two
other occupants of the machine were
wounded.
The citizens general committee, OF
which the mayor is presiding othcer,
adopted resolution at it's session to
withdraw the entire force OF state
militia that has policed the large
residence section for the last few
days.

San Francisco, April 23.-The condi-

They are totally inadequate to keep
out the heavy rain which is falling to-

other guards were dispensed with the

nected with the mint have since been
on duty there.
1t is stated today by officers of the
mint that early reports of shooting and
attempts to break into the mint by
looters were the purest nonsense.

VIGOROUS STEPS TAKEN
POLICE NOTIFIED TO LOOKOUT
FOR ITALIAN ANARCHISTS.

Anarchism in the United States will be
put down with a firm hand The informa-
ton which has reached the government
officials here that large numbers of Italian
anarchists have arrived at San Francisco
and Baltimore has resulted in the adop--
ton of extreme measures to apprehend
these men. While many have arrived in
Baltimore and are making that city their
headquarters, a number have gone to other
places and the police have been notified
to be on the lookout for them.
It was said at the Department of Com
merce and Labor today that the Italian
government. through its consul at Balti-
more, had furnished the name of one man
who is regarded as particularly dangerous,
and the immigration officials are bending
every effort to capture him. 1t is believed
here that he is the ringleader of the band
that has come to this country through the
port of Baltimore, and his apprehension is
regarded as of especial importance
Some idea of the character of the men
with whom the department is dealing may
be gathered from recent case arising in
San Francisco. Within the past month an
Italian was released from prison in that
city and upon being questioned by the i'm
migration authorities openly declared that
If he was allowed to pursue his course he
would kill the President of the United
States. The man was taken in charge con-
yeyed across the country to New York and
deported to Italy.
He would not disclose, however, that he
was member of the organization whose
presence here has become known, although
he made the threat boldly as 10 what he
would do to the executive OF the United
States
All immigration and police officials have
been notified to be on the lookout for Italian
anarchists. and the department authorities
here believe that before long they will have
in custody the men known TO be enemies
of all organized government
