PANIC REIGNs IN THE CITY
Two Hundred Thousand People Want
to Get Out-Tncidents.

Two Hundred Thousand People Want
to Get Out-Tncidents.
While the heroic fire fighters were
making the last stand at the line OF
Van Ness avenue panic reigned among
the survivors in other parts Of the city.
The intense heat and the absence CT
water have been so terrible that scores
have become frantic and others have
dropped from exhaustion in the streets.
Probably 100000 refugees are strug-
Cling to get out of the city.
Crowding all sidewalks in the threat
ened area are hundreds upon hundreds
of householders attempting to drag
some of their effects to places of safe
ty. In some instances men with ropes
are dragging trunks tandem style, 9th
ers have sewing machines strapped to
the trunks. Again women are rushing
for the hills, carrying in their arms
only the family cat or a bird cage.
In the panic many mad things are
being done. Even soldiers were obliged
in many instances to prevent men and
women, made insane from the misfort-
une that has engulfed them, from rush
ing into doomed buildings in the hope
of saving valuables from the ruins. In
nearly every instance such action has
resulted in death to those who tried it.
At Larkin and Suffer streets two men
and a woman broke from the police
and rushed into a burning apartment
house never to reappear.
Some eXpressmen charged from $40
to 500 to haul a load of baggage Or
give any aid at all to refugees. Liquor
stores in the north end were broken
into by thieves and hundreds Of men
were carrying away the bottled liquors
when the soldiers arrived.
When the mansions on Mob hill, the
Paramount and Mark Hopkins insti-
tute were approached by the flames
many attempts were made to remove
some of the priceless works of art from
the buildings. From the Huntington
home and the Flood mansion canYasses
were cut from the framework with
knives. The collections are valued in
hundreds Of thousands. Very few were
saved.

President Issues Proclamation
Calling for Relief.

President Issues a Proclamation
Calling for Relief.
The heart Of the narion has gone out
to the stricken metropolis of the Pacific
coast-frorn far and near, in city, town
and hamlet. the angel Of charity is
stirring the hearts of the people and
the hand OF relief is reaching out from
all directions to CALIFORNIA; queen city
as she sits around the ashes of her
greatness. President Roosevelt is
sued a proclamation calling on all to
spring to the relief of the destitute,
the war department is straining every
nerve to forward tents and food to
the homeless and starving.
The cities of the country began
moving. Chicago, remembering her
own day of desolation, told San
Francisco to say what she wants and
it shall be sent at once. New York
is organizing relief on a gigantic scale
in fact all the big cities are coming
to the rescue. Smaller towns have not
waited to find out what is needed =
they have appropriated cash. Govern
ors, mayors, wealthy men, have all tel
egraphed their readiness to respond in
the manner most acceptable, and fra
ternal societies everywhere are re-
spending to the cry for succor.
San Francisco is a city Of ruins.
There is no pen that can describe the
scene Of desolation left in the wake OF
the terrible disaster that has overtaken
it. What made San Francisco famous
is nothing but heaps Of smoldering de,
bris. Its magnificent buildings, it's mar
kets, its gay and happy throngs are no
more. Inhabitants are fleeing from it
as though from a dread pestflence. The
scene beggars description and the pen
Of a Hugo or ToIstoi would be IN
equal to give an adequate idea of it.
And the fire is still raging.
inadequate as the foregoing is. it
enables one to family comprehend the
terrible experiences through which the
people of the stricken city have passed.
Space does not permit of telling of the

against the unspeakable degenerates
VINO, like vultures, fiocked to the scene
Of destruction to prey upon the I'M
fortunate ones, and all of the police
and all available troops were quickly
detailed for duty. That the work of
the police and troops might be more
effective, and as the emergency was
such as to require severe measures, the
following proclamation was issued by
Mayor Schmitz:
THE federal troops, the members of
the regular police force and all special
police officers have been authorized to
kill any and all persons detected en-
gagged in Iooting or in the commission
Of any other crime.
In the section north of Market street
the ruined district is practically
bounded on the west by Van Ness
avenue, although iii many blocks the
flames destroyed squares to the west
Of that thoroughfare. The Van Ness
avenue burned line runs northly to
Greenwich street, which is a few
blocks from the bay. Then the bound
airy goes over Telegraph hill and down
to that portion of the shore that faces
Oakland Practically everything in
Guided between Market street, Van
Ness avenue, Greenwich, and the bay
is in ashes. On the east side of Hyde
street hill the fire burned down to Bay
street ana Montgomery avenue and
stopped at that intersection. All south
Of Market. street, which perhaps some
exceptions in the vicinity of the Pa
citic Mail dock, is gone. This section
is bounded ON the north by Market
street ana runs out tn Guerrero street
goes out that street two blocks. turns
west to Dolores, runs west six blocks to
about Twenty-Second, taking in four
blocks on the others side of Dolores.
The fire then took an irregular course

Twenty Fifth street and going down
that way to the southerly bay shore.
Famine is already presenting its

carried more than three days supply

wiped out there is already shortage

FIGHT AT VAN NESS AVENUE

Desperate Effort to Check the DevOur=
ing Flames Described.
With each succeeding hour the de
vastation and destruction in this
stricken and PROSTATE ruin of city
grew On the third day Mayor Schmitz
and Chief of Police Oman saw that the
only hope Of saving the western addi-
ton, with its forest of frame dwellings,
and the Richmond district, with its
thousands of homes, was to check the
cruel march of the wall Of fire at Van
Ness avenue.
This avenue is ninety feet wide, and
the possibilities of checking the march
of the flames here looked hopeful to
these who were figuring ways and
means in the hour of awful horror.
The orders were given to concentrate

every fire engine in the city at this ave
nue., to marshal troops of soldiers there,
the police and all the army of workers,
and make one last stand to save the
remainder Of the city.
The cooperation Of the artillery was
secured, and cannon was drawn to the
avenue to aid the dynamiters in blow.
ing up the mansions Of the millionaires
on the west side Of Van Ness in or
der to prevent the flames from leap
ing across the highway and starting on
their unrestrained sweep across the
western addition. Every available
pound Of dynamite was hauled to this
point, and the sight was one of stu
pendous and appalling havoc, as the
cannons We're trained on the palaces,
and the shot tore into the walls and
toppled the buildings in crushing ruins.
At other points the dynamite was used,
and house after house dropped to the
earth a mass Of dust and debris.
The work was necessarily dangerous,
and many of the exhausted workers
who had worked through a stretch Of
forty-eight hours without sleep and
scarcely any food, through force of in
stinctive heroism alone may have been
killed while making this last desperate
stand. Many of the workers in plac-
ing the blasts took chances that spelled
injury or death. But it was all of no
use. There seemed to be an irresistible
power behind the flames.
