uniforms were all different colors,

ESCAPE OF OPERA COMPANY.
Members of the Metropolitan on Their
 Way East.

Oakland, April 2O.-The members of the Metropolitan Opera company of New York, all of whom suffered from the great disaster, are leaving to-day for the east. A number of principals, including Mime. Sembrich, Campanari, Caruso, Dippel and Conductors Hertz and Bars, started to-day on the South ern Pacific Overland train. The great CT part of the company, including the chorus and musicians, will travel by special train via New Orleans. With the party are Scotti, Miss Walker, Mime. Rappold, Plancon, Reiss, Press Repre- sentative Meltzer and Conductor Fran ko. Conductor Vigna left last night and some of the principals not named are travelling apart from the company All of the splendid stage scenery, cos- tunes and musical instruments were lost in the fire, which destroyed the Grand Opera house, where their season had just opened to large audiences. No one of the company was injured, but nearly all of them lost their personal effects.
 Mime. Sembrich placed her loss by the destruction of her costumes at $20,000. She saved her valuable pearls. The to- tai loss to the organization may reach $15O,OOO
 For the past two days the singers and musicians have been living with friends or camping out in the parks and on the hillsides of San Francisco,
 When they were seen by an Associ- ated Press representative in their spe- cial cars to-day the operatic stars gave an interesting account of their experi- ences.
 On the morning Of the earthquake the members of the company were distrib- uted among the different hotels, most of them being at the Palace, St. Francis and the Oaks. The sudden shock brought all out of their bedrooms in all kinds of attire. The women were in their night dresses, the men in paja- mas, none pausing to dress-all con- vinced that their last hour had come. Ten minutes later Caruso, who had been at the Palace, was seen seated on his valise in the middle of the street. Many of the others had rushed to open squares or other places of supposed safety. Even then it was difficult to avoid the debris falling from the crum- bling walls.
