rested Tuesday for having the means
of counterfeiting United States money

terial was placed in his Office by an en-
emy, and implies that it was Baker.

been blackmailing him by charging
that he made improper advances to
Mrs. Eggleston.
Eggleston and his wife intimate that
Baker has been trying to break up
their home.

mains strangely quiet. His attorney,
Lucius w. Hoyt, had a slight encoun.

gleston's instruments under a writ OF
replevin secured by Baker. Mrs. Eg-

CONDITION IS TERRIBLE.
Thousands of Persons Are Without Any
 Shelter.


 San Francisco. April 23.--The condi- ton of the 5,00O'peopie or more camped in Jefferson Square Park is something terrible. Not more than five per cent have even an army tent and the make shifts are constructed of carpets. bed sheets and every imaginable substance They are totally inadequate to keep out the heavy rain which is falling to- day.
 The four hundred soldiers of the 9th and 9th Canifornia National Guard are re- ouisitioning every house in the neigh borhood for shelter. but in the mean time the homeless are in miserable plight.
 Glenn A. Durston. of the Spanish war veterans relief committee. has in- mediate charge of relief work. He made this statement 10 an Associated Press representative;
 We are impressing every wagon we can lay our hands OH. Wo have about ten wagons now fin which W. are haul ing all who will go to the station and sending them out of town. We have sent to the Presidio for tents and by confiscating all vacant houses we can find we hope to have these unfortu- mates housed with some degree of com fort before night
 The sanitary work is going forward as rapfdly as possible. Several toilets have been erected and all refuse Is be- ing hauled away and buried promptly. rhcre is so far very !ittle sickness in ramn and none of a serious nature. Nc Infectious disease has made It's an pcaranCe.

MINT INTACT.
Ready to Resume Operations On short
 Notice.

Ready to Resume Operations On short
 Notice.
 . San Francisco, April 23.--One fortu- nate condition still remains with San Francisco--therc Is an abundance of gold and silver coin available in the in this city. The mint had almost com pleted its coinage for the fiscal year when the earthquake interrupted this operation. A visit to the mint today disclosed the fact that the damage done is comparatively trivial. only one or two rooms in the building being touch ed by the flames The furnaces and grate chimneys will be ready to start up at an hours notice if suitable power can be obtained and 1t Is possible that speedy nakeshift for power may be soon arranged if the early future should warrant such Q step.
 Mir. Leach, superintendent of the mint, said today:
 ..rhe mint is intact. We are ready to resume business just as soon as the public wants us to do so. The finan' ciai interests of the city must organize first and establish themselves in tenn porary quarters before they will be in q position to pay out money. We have in the vaults of the mine an abun- dance of money: in fact more than San Francisco needs. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw is fully alive to the situation and has instructed me to turn over money to banking institutions whenever needed"
 A significant indication Of the ear ly restoration of law and order and safe ty Is the fact that there is not a sia- gle soldier or militiaman or regular po- lice officer guarding the many million of dollars in the vaults of the mint The soldiers and their extra guards were dispensed with the first day of the fire.
 It was stated today by officials of the mint that tn. early reports of the shooting and attempt to break into the mint by looters were the purest nop- sense.

The situation is we'll organized and the United States quartermaster de- pertinent is receiving and distributing through It's channels and other various local relief organizations all supplies as fast as they arrive. But the fact should be made public in all quarters that 1t would require continued effort on the part of every one to keep sup plies coming. The railroads are of course handling all supplies without charge and the people must respond to calls for relief.
