HOW THE FIRE WAS CHECKED
Dynamite Squad Blew Up Blocks Along
Van Ness Avenue.


San Francisco. April 25.-Three he
roes saved San Francisco-what was
left of it. They were the dynamite
squad that threw back the fire demon
at Van Ness avenue.
When the burning city seemed
doomed and the flames lit the sky
further and further to the west, Ad.
miral McCalla sent a squad of his
most trusted men from Mare Island
with orders to check the confagration
at any cost of life or property. With
them they brought a ton and a half
of gun-cotton. The terrific power OF
the explosive was equal to the maniac
determination of the fire.
Captain MacBride was in charge OF
the squad. Chief Gunner Adamson
placed the charges and the third gun
ner set them off
The thunderous detonations to which
the terrified city listened all that
dreadful night meant the salvation OF
375,O00 lives. A million dollars worth
of property, noble residences and
worthless shacks alike were blown tc

broke the fire and sent the raging
flames over their own charred path.

New York, April 23.-The voiceless
appeal of San Francisco has been heard
throughout the civilized world. From
every city and town in this country,
from European capitals and from the
far eastern communities comes news
that all humanity, in expressing its
sympathy, is also offering every mate
rial assistance. Money and supplies
are flowing toward the stricken Cali
fornia metropolis and the other cities
by the Pacific affected by the recent
disaster with a generosity unprece-
dented in history.
From the incomplete figures Of the
contributions which have been made,
It is estimated here that the San Fran
cisco fund has passed $20,OOO,O0O. The
United States appropriated S2,500,OOO.
In the list of generous contributors,
New York ranks first. The fund
amounts to approximately S0,00O,000,
with contributions coming in fast.
The state of Massachusetts, has un-
dertaken to raise 100000, and with
Boston's generous help is well on the
way to the goal. Chicago's fund, spon-
taneously subscribed, is approaching
81 ,OOO, 900, and promises to 30 beyond
that sum. Philadelphia will send $780,

REACHED CRATER OF VEsUvIUs
Professor Mattsuoel Says It is Scene
Of Great Grandeur.

Naples, April 25.-Professor Matte
ucci. director of the royal observatory,
succeeded in reaching the crater OF
Vesuvius. He describes the spectacle
there as one of great grandeur ThG
diameter of the crater, which before
the eruption was about 100 feet, is now
about 5000 feet. There is no eruption
of incandescent stones as before the
outburst, but a small quantity of ashes
is being elected. Vesuvius seems To
be assuming the character of a dead
volcano. The cone of the crater, which
before the eruption rose to height OF
5000 feet above sea level, has dimin.
ished about 800 feet.
Work is being vigorously pushed to
re-establish the funicular railway to
the observatory.

DOGS EATING HUMAN BODIES
Gruesome Scenes Witnessed On Tele-

GrueSome scenes Witnessed On Tele-
graph and Russian Hills.
San Francisco, April 25.-One of the
gruesome scenes that has followed the
fire was that witnessed on Telegraph
and Russian hills and along the entire
north beach front of the city, when
scores of half-starved dogs were found
eating human bodies. The animals
were discovered gnawing and tearing
the dogs were digging for the rest of
the body. Men who had been sent into
the ruins of homes to look for what
little property that might have escaped
the flames, came upon this sickening
condition and Immediately reported it
to the naval officers in command of
the water front military districts. In
response to their appeal that some
thing be done, blue jackets were de-
tailed to cover the sections designat-
ed and kill all dogs found in those
vicinities. ALI morning rife reports
could be heard on the hillside and
along the beach as the dogs were be-
ing killed. Men were pressed into SER
vice either to bury the carcasses Of
the dogs OF throw them into the bay.
In few places smoldering fires we're
found and there it was possible to
cremate the animals.
II was not believed that there were
30 many dead in the ruins of Tele- |
graph and Russian hills until the dogs
we're found there digging for the
bodies. When the dogs have all been
run down and slain a further search
will bemade of those sections to OBJ
tain the bodies and bury them as soon
as possible.
