here as tourists at the time Of the.
earthquake 1t may safely he asserted
that few if any such persons have been.
killed or injured. The casualties with
few exceptions were confined to the oc-
cupants Of cheap lodging houses.
n AS an inevitable result Of the catas-
trophe people are scattered far and
wide, and the destruction of tele-
graph facilities renders it impossible
to find them, or to communicate with
them. A great many strangers do not
know where the temporary offices OF
the telegraph companies are located,
and these Offices have been necessarily
shifted from time to time. Even if the
offices could be reached, the facilities
for sending messages have been so
crippled that the companies, although
working necessarily, are unable to give
much relief. There are thousands of
kilograms at the Offices of both COM
panies awaiting transmission.
To Build Camp in Park.
Marcel Cert, chairman of the COM
mittee Of refuge for the homeless, says
that temporary structures will be
erected in Golden Gate park for the
protection of the homeless at once.
Maj. McIlvor, of the United States
army, is now laying out sanitary
camp at this point, work on which
will be rushed as rapidly as lumber
can be secured The camp will be un-
der the supervision Of an officer of the
engineer corps of the United States
ical staff will be in charge Of it as
sanitary officer. The conditions along
the homeless in the park, it was re-
ported by Chairman Cert, were excel
lent, but it was feared there would
be considerable suffering in the Mis-
not been able to reach all the peo-
pie. A subcommittee has been ap-
pointed to impress all vacant build
lngs and all deserted houses that after
examination should prove to be safe.
Berkeley, said Mr. Cert, has accom-
modated 1000 homeless people and
had sent to the authorities that it de-
sired to take care Of 1000 more. Ala
media has room for 5000 and Fresno
telegraphed that it wished to provide
for 5000 and asked that that number
be sent for which the Southern Pa
cific would furnish transportation.
H. E. Breeder, manager of the
Standard Oil company, says that the
city of Richmond could take care of
500 and that he would transport them
Saturday at ten and twelve o'clock,
leaving the Fulton Iron Works.
2OO,oOO Refugees in Oakland.
Oakland, Cal, April 23.--To feed
and house the unfortunate people Of
San Francisco who have suddenly
been bereft of homes and means Of
livelihood is calling forth the best
effort of the people of this city. It
is calculated that at least 100000 peo-
pie have come to this side of the bay
and are now distributed among the
homes of Oakland, Alameda and
Berkeley. While hundreds have found
lodging with friends, there are the
countless poor who are dependent
upon charity.
Bounds Of Ruined District.
In the section north of Market
street the ruined district is practical
ly bounded on the west by Van Ness
avenue although in many blocks the
flames destroyed squares to the west
of that thoroughfare. The Van Ness
avenue burned line runs northerly to
Greenwich street, which is a few
blocks from the bay Then the bound
airy goes up over Telegraph hill and
down to that portion of the shore that
faces Oakland. Practically everything
included between Market, Van Ness
avenue, Greenwich and the bay is in
ashes On the east side of Hyde street
hill the fire burned down to Bay street
and Montgomery avenue and stopped
at that intersection All south of
Market street, with perhaps some ex-
ceptions in the vicinity of the Pacific
Mail dock, is gone This section is
bounded on the north by Market street
and runs out to Guerrero street, goes
out that street two blocks, turns west
to Dolores, runs west six blocks to
about Twenty-second, taking in four
blocks on the other side of Dolores.
The fire then took an irregular course
southwark, spreading out as far as
Twenty-ffth street. and going down
that way to the southerly bay shore.
Funston Gives Fire Boundary.
Washington, April 23.-The follow
ing dispatch from Gen. Funston re-
garding conditions at San Francisco
came to the war department. It was
sent from the naval training station.
Fire is making no progress to the
west from Van Ness avenue. West
wind Of considerable force now begin
ming. Indications now that all that
part of the city east Of Van Ness ave-
nue. and south OF the bay will be de-
stroyed. Some considerable apprehen-
sion is felt as to the post of Fort
Mason, but it is believed that we can
save it. Weather continues fine and
warm; practically no suffering from
cold. It will be Impossible to at once
