FIItE PANIC IN BIO HOSPITAL.
Blazing Laundry Causes Patients to
Flee Half-Olnd.
San Francisco, May 4. The. 700 pa
tients in tho general hospitnl at tho Pre
sidio wero thrown into a panic at 4:15
o'clock this morning by tho crv of
"fire."
At that moment flames woro discov
ered in tho hospital inundry, which wns
only a fow yards awny. The close prox
imity of tho two buildings gavo rise to
tho fear that trlio hospital would bo
destroyed.
In anticipation of such a contlncency
hurrlod arrangements wero inntto for
tho removal of tho patients to 11 plnco
of safety.
For a fow minutes, until tho llro in
tho inundry was cotton under control
nnd thero wns no dnngor of tho flamos
spreading boyond thnt building, pando
monium reigned among tho hundreds
01 patients.
Tlioto who wero not dangerously HI, or
cuum ncip inomsoivos, jumped from
their cots nnd bods, and, hnstiiy don
ning what clothes thoy could find, llod
from tho hospital out into tho cool
morning air.
Many of tho indisposed mon and
women did not wait to Bocuro their
clothes, but wrapped themselves in bod
ding ami mndo their exit as quickly as
possible.
In inoro than ono instnnco mon nnd
women fled out Into tho nir with noth
ing but their night clothes. Scores of
patients who had tho physical strength
stopped Biifllclontly long to assist moro
weak and unstrung mon and women
from tho hospitnl.
Within 15 minutes after tho alarm
was jjlven tho mnjorlty of tho patlonts
had loft tho hospital building and stood
in groups or lay upon tho ground upon
bed clothes, watching tho firemen and
soldiers light tho llnmcs in tho Inundry.
When tho Jinnies hail been extin
guished tho nurses, physioinns and sol
diers turned their attention to tho patient-refugees,
nnd assisted in tnklng
them back to their cots and beds in
private rooms nnd wards.
Men and womoii boenmo. hvstorlcnl
during tho progress of tho fire, nnd it
was with dflllculty that mnny .of thorn
could bo inducod to return to tho hos
pital. It Is fcarod that tho shock to
many of tho moro sorlously sick patients
will havo a serious if not fatal effect.
When tho ilro was discovered in tho
hospital n general alarm was sounded,
licsldcs tho regular post firo department
hundreds of soldiers turned out to fight
the llnmes. It was only by hard work
Hint tho flamos wero confined to tho
laundry, which, with its contents, was
entirely destroyed, nnd tirovented from
sprending to tho gonornl hospitnl.
'I lie origin or tho firo is unknown.
LIMIT OF INSURANCE PAID.

lioproHontntivps of both foreign nnd
American fire Insurance companies, who
wero in the city yesterday. dlKciissod ac
tion to elTcct a compromlso in tho ad
justment of losses by tho Sail Francisco
lire.
Tho great rompnnies express n strong
purpose to bo not only just, but gener
ous in eases of doubt, but ono insurance
president said:
"Tho adjusters for tliii rninpnny will
not bo allowed to waive the conditions
of its iiolicios, nor the conditions' nnd
restrictions of its charters. Wo havo
no more right to pay a loss occasioned
by oarthqimko than wo havo to pay n
Iohh of llfo. Wo are' not an earthquake
insurance company, nor a llfo insurance
company."
Insiiriiiu'o mon estimnto that tho com
panicH will ultimately pay from 00 to
i! per cent of tho iiggregatu amount of
the risk,
Tho meHsago from London insurnnco
companies to adjusters in Oakland, pub
lished tliis morning, should havo read:
' "Under nnv circumstances, tho llrlt
lsh nfllees will only pay tho losses for
which they uro legally liable, sluco to

for dnmngo by earthquako wliero no

fallen or partly fallen buildings, nor
for damages to buildings pulled down or
