SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA UNHURT.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 1S-
BY Information received in this
city from points in the East it
appears that the impression has
gone ont that the earthquake
which caused such devastation
in San Francisco this morning
also affected Los Angeles and
other California points. This is
an entirely erroneous impression.
There has been no earthquake in
Southern California and the
shock' which caused the damage
in San francisco were not felt

San Francisco, April 19.--San
Francisco to-nign' is the CITY
desoIate. 1t seemed that the acme
OF its misery was reached at dusk y,
when flames burst from all sides
of the beautiful Hotel Fairmount,
the structure that above every
other was apparently most
strongly entrenched against the
attack of all consuming fire.
And surrounding that lofty pm
nacle of flame, as far as the eyes
could see TO the south, to the
east and far out 10 the west lay
in cruel, fanastic heaps, charred
and smoking, all that remained
OF prosperous city. The me-
tropolis Of the Pacific coast was
III ashes.
MARKS COMPLETE RUIN.
All efforts to check the spread
of the flames at Van Ness avenue
by blowing up a mile OF buildings
on East side Of Van Ness avenue
proved fruitless. The fire has
spread across the broad thor
oughfare and from present indi
cations the entire western addi
ton, which contains the homes
of San Francisco's wealthiest
class, is now doomed. The des
truction of the western addition
of the city completes the work
of the ravaglng flames and
marks the devastation of the en-
tire city.
This has been another day of
uneven struggle of man against
an uncOnquerable element. Acre
after acre has been ground into
dust and ashes, despite the he
roic perseverance of the firemen
to limit the conflagration.
Chief of Police Dinan tonight
said that 250 would fully cover
the number OF dead. About so.
bodies have thus far been found.
There was considerable shooting
