; The bread unes at ,tbe .parks
furnished striking instances of the
absolute patience and fortitude that
have, marked tlie behaviour of, the
people throughout their try iDg ex
perience.' i inere were no disorders
when tne Hungry.' tnoueands were
told to form a lice and receive their
bie d and canned gcods. , All were
roi t-;nt to wait their turn. . Silk
hatted men of affairs followed good
n aturedly behind Cai nese, and took
their loaf from the Fame hand. .

At the ferry: station, today there
were some pathetic , scenes among
the hungry people. . . When the boat
came in from Stockton with tons of
supplies, a number of small chil
dren were the Grit to spy a , larga
box of sandwiches with cries of de
light. They made a rush for the
food, seized as much as ' they could
hold and rushed to their mothers
with sheets of: j ,:
"Ob, mamma, look at the sand
wiches!'' J;;";"-,' ;-":;J;T V'11 "
I Seated around ' the ferry build
ing were hundreds of people suck
ing canoed fruits '- from the tine.
Some were ''''drinking condensed
cream, and some were lucky enough
to have sardines or cheese. At sev
eral places v along -1 Market street
scores of men were digging with
their hands among the still ' smok
ing debris of some large grocery-
house for canned goods. -
When they found it, which they
did without molestation, from . any
body, they broke the tins and de
voured the contents;." .V At Filbert
an Van Nesa avenue,:' at- 6 ' o'clo; k
tonight, a. wagqn.,.of,. supplies-, con
veyed by soldiers was besieged by a
crowd of hungry people.; They ap
pealed .to the.sprdiers;, for food, and
their appeals were quickly , heeded .
Seizing an , ax, a soldier emashed
the boxes and tossed . the supplies
to the crowd, which took time to
cheer hastily 77 r,7, ! "
A later estiauate places the num
ber of refugee camping in Golden
Gate Park, from the Panhandle to
the beach, at 15,000 men, .women
and children. So far, their priva

significant. It is feared by the
heal'h authorities that great suffer

be found in the near future for these

ran about like wild men wmie the
earth was shaking great buildings
into heaps of ruins.' From every
window and door, terror-strlcKen
faces peered out. They watched
the buildings swaying to and fro,
then the whole population of the
district was seized with ; a panic.
The din of coise raised by . the
shouting, screaming men, women
aod children lose above that of ev
erything else. ' Every Chinaman
was talking, what he wsb saying
no white man ana proDaoiy tew
Chinese knew. They rushed a'm-
lessly hither and thither until the
shock was over, then disappeared
into the intricate passages of their
buildings and the - underground
chambers When the fire started
and the flifnes swooped down upon
them many ran cut, dragging great
bundles' of ' personal " effects 'add
trappings that a Chinaman holds
most dtar. I don't believe a ? man
attempted to get to a place of safety
without first trying to get together
all his worldly goods ' and take
them along. This 'desire', to save

"The flames spread so rapidly
through the district that the only
hope of checking them lay in the
wrecking of the structures with dy
namite. Quantities ' of explosives
were brought and (quads of soldiers
went through the buildings trying
to get the occupants out. Instead
of fleeing for their lives, the Celes
tials ran into . their little '' rooms,
locked themselves in and refused to
b9 taken out. The onrueh of the
