REFUGEES ARR We IN CHICAGO
=. II. Gibson Of This City Describes the
Scenes or Horror and DesolatlOn.

CHICAGO, April 22.-Many Eastern people
arrived in the city to-day from San Fran
cisco. Worn and tired from travel, still
suffering from the shock and awful torture
through which they passed In making their
escape from the desolated Coast city, they
sought out the hotels for rest, utterly I'M
able to proceed further on their journeys.
II believe IL l had my choice between in
slant death and going through another such
scene Of sickening horror, I would choose
the former" said s. B. Gibson Of u Morn
ingside avenue, New York city.
Il was awakened from my sleep by the
most awful noises that 1t is possible to
imagine. Pictures were Jared from the
walls, statues and bric-a-brac were thrown
from the mantel and table. and when the
Hoor tilted my bed ran all the way across
the room. | got out as quickly as | could
and was thrown violently TO the floor by
another shock. The entire building quiv-
cred and shook like a sailing craft in a
raging sea.
How I found my way downstairs is a
mystery TO me. All I had on was my
pajamas and my shoes. When I reached
the street it was one vast sheet OF flame,

CRYING to be taken away, and the cries
of the dying and wounded were ringing
in our ears.
sThen the booming Of dynamite was
heard from every quarter and buildings
shot into the air like giant fireworks. But
nothing could stay the hand of destruction
that rested so heavily on the peaceful city,

HOW ADOLPHUS BUSCH ESCAPED.
Got From 81. Francis Hotel TO House OF q
Friend On Mob Hill.

Sr. LOUIS, Mo-, Aprii 22.-Adolo us
Busch, the brewer, arrived home tonight
from San Francisco, after going through
the horrors of the earthquake and fire
He gives the following account Of his e1-
perienoes:
NO person has as yet been able to describe
fully the earthquake, fire and horror exist
ing since Wednesday morning at SIP. The
first shock was terrific. The magnificent
st. Francis Hotel trembled from foundation
to roof and all the furniture moved, the
~bric-a-brao fell down, the mantels moved
twelve inches from the wall and guests were
thrown out of their beds.
The halls and stairs were filed with
plaster, making exit from the hotel ex-
tremely difficult. All the guests made their
exit scantily clothed to the plaza opposite.
When / reached it with my party 1t was
alre ldy filled with horror stricken people.
After the fourth shock l concluded to
take my family and friends to one Of the
hills. from where l could escape in case Of
necessity to the Preside, | took the pre-
caution to press two carriages into serv-
ice which by Offering exorbit ant fees
/ kept constantly until / made my escape
to the Oakland ferry at Q o'clock Thursday
morning. Fortunately l had my car trans
ferred to Oakland on Tuesday morning,
otherwise it would AVE boon impossible
for us to get away.
"we camped during the night, partly in
the houss Of a friend Of mine and partly
in the carriages to prevent them from get
ting away.
The sight from Mob Hill wal frghtful,
The fire wal in a crescent before us, the
flames seemingly spreading in all direc-
tions. The d~etonations OF the dynamite,
blasting block after block, added to the
horror at intervals during the entire night.
We felt tremblings Of the earth.
Provisions are short and famine and
sickness will follow, unless immediate
relief ia given, | hope and trust that the
entire nation will at once come to the aid
Of the stricken city with food, clothing and
medicine and then financial assistance to
restore a part Of the losses to all those in
need"

Clearing House Meets and Takes Warning
From BaItimore's Experience.
OAKLAND, April 22.-The bankers Of San
Francisco represented in the Clearing
House, which includes the commercial
banks and some of the savings banks,
held a most satisfactory meeting last night.
The conclusion Of the conference was that
there is sufficient money in San Fran
cisco to meet the financial emers ,ncy,
but that it would be folly to open for bust
ness until fully prepared to do so.
The experience Of Baltimore in opening
the vaults of banks in two weeks after the
fire was reviewed. In that city the con-
tents Of many of the receptacles burst into
flames BECAUSE they had not been given
opportunity to cool. The bankers thought
that thirty days would be the limit Of the
time before they would resume business
and that possibly they would be prepared
sooner. Homer $. King, president Of the
Clearing House, presided. Worthington
Gregg, secretary of that institution, acted
as secretary.
United States Sub-Treasure Jacob read
some Geographic correspondence between
himself and Secretary Shaw. The Score
tary had inquired regarding the situation
OF the commercial banks Of the city. The
Assistant Treasurer replied that all the
banks were in good condition.

bilities Of diseases breaking out in the

While the Red Gross is making these
preparations the committee does not take
an alarmist view Of the matter. Sickness,
however, is expected, and the Red Cross
purposes to be prepared.
The executive commit ttee to-day met
and discussed ways and means for sending
provisions into San Francisco and dealing
with the situation. It was decided that
announcement should be made that money
is what is needed most now. Then the
Red Cross will have a free hand in Furnish
ing provisions and in carrying on its work.
II, however, people are better able or would
rather give provisions these will be thank
fully received.
Secretary Taft has ordered commissary
officers Of the army at seven purchasing
depots to buy provisions under direction
of the Red Cross. DR.. Devine, the He'd
Cross agent in San Francisco, has been
told to communicate to these officers in
formation as to just what he needs.
Reports have been received that five
carloads Of medical supplies were sent to
San Francisco from st. Louis last night and
fifteen carloads more we're scheduled to
leave tonight.
