EXPLAINS PRESIDENTS STAND.
State Department Tells Why Foreign Con-
tribuIi0ns We're Declined.

WAsHRGToN, April 2+.-Many inquiries
have been received at the State Depart
ment from abroad and from foreign repre-
sentatives in this country in regard To the
scope and meaning Of President Roosevelt's
notice that contributions from abroad were
not needed for the San Francisco sufferers.
To-day the Department received some
questions by telegraph as to the justitica-
ton OF the criticisms of the Presidents
att itude in the German press.
To these the espoDse was sent that it
was apparent that as there would be ample
contributions from this country 70 supply
the needs Of the stricken people, 1t was
therefore not deemed necessary TO accept
any aid from abroad. II was explained
also hat even il il should be found that
more money was required h was con
tributed by the Government and people
of the United States, it would be embar-
rassiug to attempt to discriminate as TO
what offers of assistance from abroad
should he accepted, and for that reason 1t
was regarded as proper 10 decline all OF the
numerous tenders of succor which had been
made and which the Government deeply
appreciates. This represents the stand OF
the Government in the matter and Ia the
general tenor of the responses sent to
those who have made inquiries on the
subject.

THE PRESIDENT CRITICISED.
People Resent Some Of the suggestions He
Has Made About Aid.

SAN FRAEcIsco, April 34.-When DR..
Edward Devine of the National Red Cross
Society to-day presented Preaidsnt Roose-
velt's statement to the public, asking that
all aid for the sufferers here be turned
over to the Red Cross there was decided
objection on the ground that the local or
ganization here was able to attend to the
work. Gems. Greedy and Funston, DR. Z.
Devine, Gov. Pardee and Mayor Sehmitz
were in conference, and it was agreed to
nave DR.. Devine notify the President OF
the feeling OF the local authorities.
1t was also made clear that the people of
San Francisco resent the intimation made
by the President to Secretary Taft, in a
letter, hat the people Of San Francisco
may neglect the Chinese in the distribution
Of aid.
A telegram signed by Mayor Sohmit2
and the representatives Of the various
associations and committees engaged in
relief work was sent to the President deny
ing that there had been any discrimination
against the Chinese and characterizing such
reports as totally false and entirely un-
founded

At San Mateo the damage was cousidera-

About $500 persons are being cared for at
San Mateo and many patients are being
removed to that point from the San Fran

Alvinza Haywards has been turned into a
hospital, and one part Of the building is
being used by the Southern Pacific az its
hospital. San Mateo is also sending assist
ance to San Francisco.
The Notifications at the entrance Of the
Golden Gate did not escape from serious
injury during the great shakeup. The
full extent Of the injury sustained by the
great works is az yet unknown. for nothing
but a survey by the engineering corps can
disclose the full extent Of the damage.
At Lime Point the placements Of the big
guns have been cracked and twisted. Til

the walls OF the placements, bear unmis-
taxable evidence OF having been given a

Conditions are said to be equally bad
at the Notifications back OF old Fort Point.

main defence, are practically useless.

NJ. H.. Morse. the San Francisco repre-

of the company, in this city, telling of the
condition he found San Francisco in when
he arrived there the day Of the earth
quake. MIR. Morse had passed the night
in Berkeley. He reached San Francisco
a few hours after the shock and went imme-
diately to the company's Offices, which
were still standing; but the building had
settled so that the heavy Oregon pine
doors could not be forced open. After many
at tenpts to get into the Office and secure
pape rs that were in the safe, Mr.. Morse
says he vas compel led to abandon this
ssk when the fire re ached the building
which il subsequent v consumed.
Mr.. Morse's letter was written from
Berkeley the day following the earthquake.
In speaking of the condition when he left
the burning city, he writes:
If the fire extends to Twenty-third street
our little house is likely to be filled up.
