New York, April 21-After a careful
perusal of the dispatches from San
Francisco the belief steadily grows
among insurance men here, in view OF
the fact that the fire is now under con-
troll, that the damage for which the I'M
derwriters are liable cannot equal
5000, 100000.
In fact, 1t is pretty generally be-
lieved that the total loss will fall sew
eral millions short of this sum. The
property loss in the Chicago fiji, was
between $165. 100000 and $170,0o0,000.
For the San Francisco fire 5000, 100000
has been taken as the maximum sum
the companies would have to pay.
With the checking of the fire, under
writer's hope that areas which seemed
doomed may prove to have escaped
the flames, thus cutting down the max
imum to be paid by good percentage.
Officials Plan to Learn Losses.
While information as to the extent
of the burned areas Of San Francisco
is meagre here as yet, underwriters
have begun their arrangements to as
certain and adjust their losses. One
new York company which sent seven
adjusters to the Baltimore fire two
years ago plans to send those seven
and thirteen others to San Francisco.
This is only one instance of the gen.
eral course which all the large COM
panies will pursue.
There will be no friction in the ad-
justment of the losses" declared VIII
liam N. Kremer, president Of the Ger
man-American Insurance company.
Each company will be as anxious to
make record as it was in the case of
the Baltimore fire. to pay it's losses
quickly and to the satisfaction of the
insured. We expect the city Of San
Francisco to rise from her ashes a
bigger and better city than eyer.'
No Iowa Concerns Lcse.
Des Moines, April 21.-Iowa fire in
surance companies will sustain nc
losses in the great disasters OF the Pa
cific coast inasmuch as none of the
Iowa companies has ever entered the

pletely as possible and that they viii
