San Francisco, April 25-The new
San Francisco which will rise from
the ashes of the old, is in it's first
stages of rebuilding. After five days
of confusion and almost superhuman
effort on the part Of citizens of Cali
fornia's metropolis, the great task of
sheltering, feeding and otherwise car
ing for the homeless thousands is
being mastered, complete order has
been re-established and attention
turned to the future.
Walls Being Raised.
Throughout the great business dis
trict, where the devastation of the
flames was the most complete, walls
are being raised, buildings that had
not disintegrated before the intense
heat are being inspected with the
view of reoccupancy and even ground
is being cleared for the immediate
construction of some sort of building
in which to resume business at the
earliest possible time. In short, conf
dence has been restored.
The assurance of the insurance COM
panies, the measures taken by the
financial institutions, the
Prompt and Reassuring Word
that had reached the business men OF
San Francisco from Eastern financial
centers-all these things went to clear
away any feeling of uncertainty that
might have existed in the minds OF.
the timid that San Francisco would
not. be what she was-the greatest
center of population and business on
the Pacific coast.
The general situation temporarily
suffered a setback early yesterday be-
cause of the chilling rain which fell
in the late hours of Sunday night and
during the early forenoon yesterday
on the thousands protected only by
canvass coverings and even less i'm
pervious shelterings.
Causes Some Suffering.
While the rain caused considerable
suffering for the time being, the con-
ditions were quickly ameliorated by
the prompt action Of every relief COM
mittee doing duty, as well as by the
voluntary acts of householders
wherever it was possible to accommo-
date them.
The people were fed yesterday in
thoroughly businesslike and systemat-
fc manner. From the water front
where the boat loads of provisions
locked there was an endless process
sion of carts and drays carrying food

der direction of the board of pull
works half dozen tottering wa
portions of the most imposing str
lures along Market street before t

While the work of complete destru

bic moment, were climbing to the VI

pairs that are to be Immediately com

No Limit to Resources.
There will be no limit to the re-
sources of the finance committee
whose duty it Is to expend millions of
dollars being subscribed for the relief
of the homeless sufferers in San
Francisco. That was learned at
meeting yesterday afternoon when Of
fers of assistance were received from
the large cities of the East, and even
from Premier Seldom of New Zealand.
There will be plenty to distribute, but
the problem now is to use the contri-
buttons impartially for the relief Of all
those who are deserving
Army Will DO Work.
The finance committee of which
James d. Phelan is chairman will no
doubt dispense all the money and sup
plies, but it will do it's work through
the regular army, and, looking to that
end, a conference will be held at Fort
Mason to-day. At the meeting yester-
day afternoon it was proposed that all
persons who have homes left shall be
forced to pay for their provisions and
that only the actual sufferers shall he
given free food.
The regular soldiers will have
charge of the distribution Of supplies.
Not Under Martha Law.
San Francisco is not under the ban
of martial law and has not been from
the beginning. There has been a gen
eral misunderstanding among the
troops themselves. The report that
Mayor Schmitz is at the head Of all
patrolling and is merely assisted by
the troops has been officially con-
firmed. The officers of the army have
stated that they are working subject
to any restraining order from the
mayor
The regular troops are working in
accord with instructions from the
mayors office. Consequently they
have been the salvation of the San
Francisco patrol system.
Calamity TripIets" Born.
On Saturday night triplets were
born to one Of the homeless at the
Preside, and the same night eight lit
tie tots made their first appearance
on the reservation at Fort Mason. Six
were born in the emergency hospital,
and two out on the vacant space ad-
joining the fort, where the mothers
had taken refuge. The babes are all
reported to be healthy youngsters.
Greeley Supersedes Funston.
Gen. A. w. Greeley has taken com
mand of the federal troops at this
post, superseding Gen. Frederick
Funston, who will act under his or
ders. Gen. Greeley has established
headquarters at Fort Mason, just east
of the Preside reservation on the
shore of San Francisco bay.

several places. Hotel Los Banos, a

The health of the scores Of thou

der the circumstances, remarkably
good. There have been several cases
of pneumonia reported and colds are
quite common, but there is nothing
like and epidemic of pulmonary
troubles. The board Of health reports
that there is very little contagious
disease. For the treatment Of such
cases hospitals have been provided.
The Golden Gate Park district yester-
day reported the birth of eighteen
babies. The mothers and children
were removed to the various maternity
hospitals.
Loss About $500, 100000
The Associated Press representa-
tives yesterday covered the entire
burned section. The circumference
of the area, as near as could be ascer-
tanned by the marking of a cyclone
ter, is twenty-six miles, and comprises
the business district and large sec
ton of the residence district, all Of
which was densely populated.
1t was estimated by competent in
surance authorities that the loss will
aggregate s3OO,O00,0O0, and on this
vast amount of property the compa-
MES carried approximately $175,000-
900 insurance.

ENTERPRISE ENTHUSIASTIC
 OVER THE ENSLEY DOCTOR

clergy remembers these things and he has scores of working friends who gre ministers of pracsicafly every de- : skominatfon, sect and creed.
 During the morning pr. Cunningham met Bishop Atkins. who is attending the conference, and chatted pleasantly with him.
 Coffee county has the Cunningham fe- yer bad or 1t might be better stated well. A score of people who heard the Ensley doctor speak Thursday at Elba followed him to Enterprise Practical ly every beat in the county was rep resented at the speaking today, and each representative made encourag ging Tenorts from his particular section.
 Dr. Cunningham had at least thirty offers to distribute his literature throughout the country, and the sect fen. This Is the only means the Lieu tenant Governor has of sending out his printed matter. He has not the money himself to mail letters and circulars to the registered voters This would cost several thousand dollars He has no money organization behind him to do 1t for him, for the simple reason that he does not want one, and he has not cotton factory and broad fields of farm lands to make the matter of two or three thousand dollars a baga- telle.
 Campaign is Personal.
 Ills only way of distriputing litera- ture IS to have his friends hand the printed matter to their friends, and If the people in other counties volunteer to- do 1t after the maner cf the Coffee folks. the litera- ture vii be spread as effectively as If he had the money bags of his oppon- ent to pay the postage
 Dr. Cunningham spoke yesterday af- ternoon in she Enterprise Court House T.ner 1.t,. Sr. < sion of the court at this place, and fof this purpose the building, a biz frame Haffair, was built. The Supreme Court took the usual course in ruling on the constitutionality of the act, authoriz- ing the holding of court here, and like dozens of other bills passed by the Legislature Of 1903, saying that the Dill from constitutional view point was not worth the paper on which 1t was printed. The Court House Is now used as sort of town hall. where commencement exercises and public speeches are held
 The crowd assembled early and before Governor Cunningham arrived, practi- caliy all of the seats were taken. There were about 200 people present and a large majority were voters.
 The Enterprise Band, the pride of Cofree County, composed of young bus mess men, young farmers and an an- cient bass drummer who had beaten time in more stormy days. was in evi- dence tc stimulate the spirits of the crowd. The community employs pro- fessional musician to instruct the band, and although the musicians appealed in their shirt sleeves and some wore the overalls that they plough in, they all played willingly and lustily, from youthful slide trombone player, who didn't measure much over five feet 10 the venerable manipulation of the bass drum. The crowd cheered and followed the band to the Court House.
