BAY CITY IS IN RUINS The dreadful earthquake shock came itbont warning at precisely 6:13 ’clock this morning, its motion appar- ntly being from east to west. A t first the upheaval of the earth was gradual, but in a few seconds it increased in in tensity. Chimneys began to fall and buildings to crack, tottering on tbeir foundations. People became panic stricken and rnshed into the streets, moat of them in their night attire. They were met by showers of falling buildings, bricks, cornices and walls. Many were instantly crashed to death, while others were dreadfully mangled. Those who remained indoors generally escaped with tbeir lives, though scores were hit bv detached plaster, pictures and articles thrown to the floor by the shcck. It is believed that more or less loss was sustained by nearly every fam ily in the city. Telegraph and telephone communi cation was shut off for a time. The Western Union was put completely out of business, and the Postal company was the ouly one that managed to get a wire out of the city. About 10 o’ clock even the Postal was forced to suspend in San Francisco. Electric power was stopped and street cars did not run. Railroads and ferry boats also ceased operations. Today’ s experience has been a testi monial to the modern steel building. A score of these structures were iu coarse of erection, and not one of these suffered. The completed modern build ings were also immune from harm by earthquake. The bandings that col lapsed were all flimsy wooden and old- fashioned brick structures. The burned district extends from the water front south of Market street to Mission street and west to Eleventh street. The fire extends out Hayes and M cAllister streets nearly to Fillmore, and from the water front along Market to Montgomery and north from the wa ter front to New Montgomery street. Manufactories, hotels, wholesale houses and residences, comprising the princi pal part of the business section, have been destroyed. The city hall, a struc ture costing $7,000,000, was first wreck ed by-the earthquake and then destroy ed by fire. The Palace hotel, valued at $3,000,000, also was burned. The beautiful Claus Hpreckels building at Third and Market streets was gutted. The Rialto building and dozens of oth er costly structures were also destroyed. The H all of Jastice is threatened, and w ill undoubtedly go. The Examiner and Call buildings are gone and the Croker building, across the street from the Palace hotel, is on fire. The freaks of the earthquake were many. W ide Assures were made in t|*e streets, street railways were twisted Aut of line, sewers and water pipes were burst, and it is feared that there will be an epidemic of disease. Provisions are being sold at fancy prices, and even water is being vended by the glass. It is impossible to give a list of the dead and wounded, or even a list of the principal buildings destroyed. Earthquake Visits : San Francisco THOUSAND DEAD Fire Follows Shock and Adds to Panic NO WATER SUPPLY Mains are Broken and Fire men Fight Flames With Dynamite-All Bus iness Section Is Gone. City Surely Doomed. Oakland, April 19.— At 11 o’clock this morning San Francieco ia a mass of mine and the flames continue the work of destruction, obliterating the few remaining habitations. There is no water and the city seems doomed. Dynamite has failed to check the fire. Oakland has been placed under martial law. The Han Pablo ferry was sunk by flying debris. A ll night the heav ens were lighted by the light of the vast conflagration. This morning a mass of smoke marks the continunce of the destruction amid srenea of unspeak ■) able horror. The estimated loss in Han Francisco w ill reach from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000 in the town. The limits of the fire at this hour are Nineteenth street on the west. Town- seed street on the south and Broadway on the north. Everything between these streets and the waterfront ia de vastated. ! S O O N R E O C C U P Y BU ILD ING S. ----------- Steel Structures Only Had the Inner W oodw ork Burned Out. Han Francisco, A pril 23.— Today property-owners have had an opportu nity to inspect some of their holdings, and in a measure -to ascertain what damage had been done. The new mod ern steel buildings were found to be al most intact. In every instance it seem ed that the earthquake had not dam aged them. The steel frames were in perfect plumb and as strong as ever. Cornices and fancy trimmings fell, but that was all. Even when the fire swept through them, only the woodwork was damaged. • The Fairmount Hotel on Nob H ill w ill be rushed to completion; the Claus 6preckels building on Market and Third streets will be occupied within a few days. The Union Trust building on Montgomery and Market street has only lost the interior woodwork, and as soon as men can put in the lumber it w ill be ready for occupancy. The 8t. Francis Hotel is in the same category, and the work of renovating the interior w ill soon be commenced. An inspec tion of the Call building at Third and Market streets disclosed the fact that several floors were in good condition and could, after slight repairs, be used as formerly. The new Monadnock, on Market street next to the Palace H o'el, was found to be in firstclaee condition, even the woodwork in the inferior being in tact, and the owner, Herbert E. Law, announced tonight that within ten days be would he renting offices in this building. The Monadnock is a large structure of steel and brick almost com pleted when the fire came. Marble and lumber have been ordered from L/w Angeles, and a big force of men will rush the building to completion. S T E E L M ILLS ARE CROW DED. Structural Material for Bay City May Be Mftcje Abroad. Pittsburg, Pa., 3 p ril 23.— According to Pittsburg steel men the rebuilding of Han Francisco may be greatly retard ed on account of the inability of Pitts burg steel m ills to supply structural shapes for the new city. The Carnegie Steel Company and the Jones <k Laugh- lin Compnay, the big independent con cerns, are already so crowded that they have practically cloeed their order books of delivery of building material within eight months’ time. Never before in the history of struc tures ha? there been such a demand for material as this year, and it is feared that it w ill be well nigh impossible for ths mills to take on additional work. According to the local steel men the San Francisco people will be compelled to go to Great Britain and Germany for a large amount of their building mate rial. The mills of Germany are busy at the pres* nt time, and will be able to take on but little additional work. Those of Great Britain, however, will be able to handle a great many of the orders. On account of the high freight rates from the east to the Pacific Coast the foreign steel mills w ill he able to deliver structural shapes at Han Fran cisco as cheap and probably cheaper than the local mills w ill be able to do. The Pennsylvania and Lackawanna Steel Companies and the Illinois Steel Company w ill be able to handle some of the work. I t is believed that the lo cal mills w ill, if possible, attempt to put aeide some of their present orders, in order to accommodate the more ur gent work for Han Francisco. GAINING CONFIDENCE New San Francisco Soon to Rise on Site of Old HOMELESS RECEIVE AMPLE FOOD Only Deficiency in Supplies Is Lack o f Variety— People Are Fed in Systematic Manner. San Francisco, April 24.— The new San Francisco, which will rise from the ashes of the old, was in its first stages of rebuilding today. After five days of confusion and almost superhuman effort on the part of citizens of Califor nia’s metropolis, the great task of shel tering, feeding and otherwise caring for the homeless thousands, complete order bae been re-established and attention turned to the future. Throughout the great business dis trict, where the devastation of the flames was the most complete, walls were being razed, buildings that had not disintegrated before the intense heat were being inspected with a view to reoccupancy and ground was being cleared even for the immediate con struction of some sort of building in which to resume business at the earli est poseible time. In short, confidence has been restor ed. The aseurance of the insurance companies, the measures taken by the financial institutions, the prompt and reassuring word that had reaehed the business men of Han Francisco from Eastern financial centers—all the*.e things went to clear away any feeling of uncertainty that might have existed in the minds of the timid that Han Francisco would not again be what it was— the great center of population and business of the Pacific Coast. The people were fed today in a thor oughly businesslike and systematic manner. From the water front, where the boats loaded with provisions dock ed, there was an endless procession of carts and drays carrying food to the scores of sub-stations established throughout the city and parks. At these stations food anil drink, bread, prepared meats, canned goods, milk and a limited amount of hot coffee was served to all thoee who applied. Firemen Blow Up Buildings — Frantic People Flee for Satety Han Francisco, April 19 — With each sncceding hoar tbe devastation and de struction in this stricken and prostrate ruin of a city grows and grows. At « o’clock tonight it seemed as if nothing could save the comparatively small portion of the city that yet remains un- burned. The entire business and whole sale district is now only a glowing fur nace, while the giant tongues of flame have reached westward far beyond l an Ness avenue and are wiping out build ings and seeking more to devour. Iu every excavation and hole throughout the north beach household ers are burying household effects, throwing them into the ditches and covering the holes. Attempts are made to mark the graves of the property so that it can be recovered after the flames are appeased. Chief of Police Dinan said he thought 250 would fully cover tbe number of deaths. He found it impossible to se cure details. About 50 bodies have thus far been found. There was much shooting of looters today, but the offenders were fortunate enough to eecape with woundB. There is a great shortage of the bread supply in the city. This afternoon, after a panic at the California-street bakery, the police took possession of the premises and it will be operated under municipal control. At this place men battled with women and children in their efforts to each seize four and five loaves of bread. The police used their clubs for the purpose of bringing about an equitable distribution of the loaves. Conflagration Seen From Oakland Appears Unchecked. i Money Pours In.

Oakland, Cal., April 19. — (M id night) — At this hour the light from burning San Francisco does not appear to have diminished, and is almost, if not quite, as brilliant as last night.
