Situation Appaling
The situation is appalling:. Mothers,
wives, sisters, fathers, husbands, sons
and friends serched the morgues for the
dead ones all night. One hundred and
fifty were taken iato custody having
been dri-.ua insane by the agony and
excitement.
A large portion of the dead met their
end. at the fTrst shock in ihe street?.
They rushed out of doors with the be
ginning of the disturbance and the
falling buildings crushed out their
lives.
The only hope of saving the city is
by the use of explosives and the supply
of these has been exhausted. The
Southern Pacific is rushing special
trains iD all directions to secure more.
This morning the people are praying
in the streets All hope seems to be
tone sad none is cherished.

The loss up to date exceeds $200,000
000.
Yesterday's
Late Story
San Francisco, April IS ? 6 p. m.? Ai
six o'clock the heart of the city is
wiped out. People are fleeing across
the bay. The ferry landings are jam
med with people to get passage on the
Oakland boats. The burned city will
be practically deserted tonight except
by the workers.
The city is under martial law. Gen.

is in command.
Police, soldiers, firemen and volun
| teers are dynamiting buildings with
the hop of staying the progress of the
flames. However, they continue to
spread and there is no water with which
to combbat them.
The streets are filled with debris and
locomotion is difficult in the extreme.
Communication with the "outside world
has been practically cut off. There
has been only one wire working all the
afternoon, and |dispa'ches must neces
sarily be in the form of brief bulletins.
The dead will reach fully 1,000. Four
hundred bodies are lying in the
Mechanic's pavillion. The city morgue
was olosed early in the afternoon. It
is so full of the dead that no more can
be cared for there.
The Call .building, the Examiner
building, the Palice and Grand hotels,
the Spreckles, Rialto, Phelan and a
hundred other sky scrapers are nothing
but charred skeletons, and the people
are being held back in the streets to
prevent further casualties from falling
