Storm Adds to Suffering.
Oakland, April 27.--A heavy down
pour of rain set in at midnight and
continued throughout the morning. 1t
made things miserable for the unfortu-
nate refugees from San Francisco now
living under canvas in various camps
in the city. The number was increas-
ed yesterday by the removal into
camps OF those previously given shell
ter in churches and halls. A strong
wind is also blowing and the weather
is cold.

midnight when Ernest Wilder, mill
tary sentry was taken into custody
and disarmed by Captain B. F. Ritter
house of the u S. Marine Corps, who

Suffering Intense.
San Francisco, April 27.-Many of
San Francsco's homeless people
camped in parks, squares and vacant
lots were awakened early this morn
ing by water dripping through the i'm
provised tents which afforded only a
poor protection against heavy rain
that began about one o'clock and con-
tinued several hours. Although better
prepared than for several days past,
hundreds of tents having been received
since the last storm, thousands were
without proper shelter. Least distress
was at the Preside where nearly all
the refugees were provided with tents
In "Cow Hollow" in the rear of Har-
Dor View, about 5000 Italians from
Russia and Telegraph Hills and some
Chinese and Japanese were camped.
Few had tents and there must have
been great distress among the women
and children. In other camps there
was much suffering.
Street Cars Now Running.
Cars will start on several streets
today, permission to run cars on Pa
cific Avenue, Fillmore, Church and Six
teenth Streets and on certain parts of
Mission Street having been granted
last night. One hundred and fifty
stores having been granted permis-
sion last night opened for business
today.
Number Of Dead Overestimated.
San Francisco, April 27.--It Is the
opinion of General Greeley that the
number of casualties are greatly over
estimated. $50 many and such gross
ly exaggerated reports of the number
of deaths have been sent out that we
have determined to make a systematic
investigation" he said today" For ms
tance, as many as seventy-five lives
were reported lost in the Valencia
hotel but so far as we been able to
ascertain the loss did not not actually
exceed twenty. believe there are
similar discrepancies which will be
discovered later after a thorough exa-
mination of the records and search
of ruins"
