NOTIFICATIONS DAMAGED.

The big Notifications at the entrance
to the Golden Gate did not escape from
serious injury during the great shake
up. The full extent OF the injury sus-
tained by the great works Is as yet
unknown, for nothing but survey by
the engineering corps can disclose the
full extent of The damage.
At LlmePont the emplacements OF the
big guns have been cracked and twist
ed The heavy concrete both on the
floor and In the walls of the empace-
ments bear unmlstakable evidence Of
having been given bad shaking,
Conditions are said to be equally bad
at the fortifcations back Of old Fort
Point As IL is now, the great 13-inch
guns on both sides Of the gate, const-
tutlng the main defense, are pTacti-
cally useless. They weigh many tons
each. but their adjustment upon their
carriage Is as delicate as that OF
watch. The earthquake destroyed this,
and though the damage can be repaired,
It will take considerable time and much
labor before the big guns are in a
condition 10 do the execution they were
intended to work.
The Lime Point batteries stand out on
an immense blum towering hundreds Of
feet above the bay. The shock here
was exceedingly heavy and is believed
to have injured the Notifications at
this point more than elsewhere.
BANK VAULTS ALL RIGHT.
A safe expert after examining safes
and vaults in many buildings in the
burnt district says that the vaults of
the banks are all right but that Il will
be several days before they can be
opened on account of heat. Those safes
that are covered by debris will not be
opened until perfectly cold

At 1910 o'clock last night an earth
quake shock was felt throughout the
