Kecbvcrlng From Shock.
As 3'ct there has been - very little
sickness aside from nervous shockjs
and physical exhaustion, and from
these most of tho people have had time
to recover. The efforts of the mili
tary authorities today aro all in rTic
direction of improving the sanitary
condition .and providing safeguards
against any possible epidemic that may
result from the exposed situation of
so many thousand people. All refuse
and debris of every ort must be de
posited in trenches dug for that pur
pose, and the park has been divided
into various sanitary districts over
which the military offlcers have been
given command and which arc pa
trolled by regular soldiers or by
municipal police.
Information bureaus have been estab
lished and telephone service is being pro
vided by the Signal Corps of the regular
Armv. At the entrance of the park,
known as the Panhandle district, an enor
mous billboard has been erected and ia
toeing used as a directory by those who
wish to designate their location in the
camp for the benetlt or seeking friends.
All vehicles that enter the park are con
fiscated by the military authorities and
are being used to deliver supplies to the
various points, as well as to remove refu
gees desiring to -reach points beyond the
Jurisdiction of the authorities. AH those
who desire to leave the park and to go to
any point In the interior of the state are
encouraged to do so. as. every person leav
ing relieves the situation to just that ex
tent. Serious Menace to Health.
A tour along the north beach of San
Francisco, including the Presidio res
ervation, revealed conditions which
may develop Into a serious menace to
on California street, a large number
rof injured and sick persons have been
treated. But one death has occurrcu
at this hospital. Several smaller lios
pltals In the AVcstcrri Addition arc car
ing for u large number of Injured
people.
All Vehicles Commandeered.
In the Presidio over 3000 people are
being sheltered In 4000 tents. A constant-stream
of wagons rind pedes
trians is entering and leaving tho res
ervation. Vehicles of every descrip
tion are being utilized to carry house
hold' effects and provisions and alto
gether generally satisfactory condi
tions prevail. The commissary depart
ment is caring amply for the people
within the reservation and those per
sons who reside cloFe by. Provisions
arc being distributed with a liberal
hand flour, beans, canned goods, eggs
and milk being given out in ample
quantities. The milk and eggs are
being served only to young mothers
and infants and to families In which
there are young children.
Three cargoes of supplies are now
at the Presidio dock and the goods al
ready in the warehouse will last for a
week or 10 days at the present rate of
distribution. Large quantities of goods
are now on the way from Coast points
and from the Bast.
Great Camp of the Poor.
The largest open camp in the city
lies opposite Fort Mason. It extends
from Larkin street to Presidio and
from Filbert to the water's edge. It
was estimated today by the military
authorities that this section contained
upwards of 10,000 'people, all of whom
are sleeping and living In tents or
similar shelters. These are for the
most part among the poorest of the
city. Nearly half of them are Italians.
No deaths have occurred there during
reasonable rates to those who can afford
to pay. There Is no want anywhere. The
authorities are handling the situation ad
mirably, and there Is little suffering.
The sanitary conditions give cause for
some apprehension. Great difficulty Is
uncountered In disposing of refuse, and
in some sections a disagreeable odor Is
very apparent. Some people are burning
their refuse In lots, but the vast majority
have no means of getting rid of this
source of trouble.
