which finished the work of destruc­
tion begun by the earthquake shock,
which almost entirely destroyed the
city’s water system, leaving the
place at the mercy of the llames.
The devastated section covers a
territory of about live or six square
miles in extent, on which stood a
number of the finest and most costly
buildings on the coast, are either
a tumbled down mass of debris or
standing monuments of ruin, gutted
of their contents and walls broken
and will doubtless have to be pulled
down.
Iu regard to the property loss
Rolla V. Watt, manager of the Roy­
al and Queen Insurance Companies,
was asked today if he would hazard
an estimate on the financial loss.
He said:
“ My idea is something like $200,
000, 000. I have heard other in-
surence men place the figure at
$500,000,000. We don’t koaw. It
is simply too big for any human
head to figure out at this time.
The latest estimates are that the
list of killed will probably reach
700.
Oakland, Calif, April 20.—The
‘Frisco fire this morning swept over
Telegraph Hill and ns fai south as
27th Street, at the foothills. Dyna­
miting, the last resort, has been
abandoned, and the city will be en­
tirely wiped out before the dawn of
another day. The fire is now com.
ing down Broadway to water front
on the north side, devastating the
tittle remaining portion of the busi­
ness section.
No tickets are being sold on the
ferries for Frisco, and nobody is al­
lowed to return to the doomed city
after leaving it. There is plenty ®f
room in Oakland for temporary ac­
comodation of refugees. Scores of
dead are being removed from the
streets. Relief trains are alleviat­
ing the situation. Women and
children in a pitaibe condition yes­
terday are being cared for today.
The U, S. Crusiers Chicago and
Marblehead have landed landed

venting vandalism.
TELEGRAPHIC AND OTAER REPHRTS.
Oakland, Calif., April 20.— The
‘Frisco fire continues beyond all
control, sweeping on toward Po-
(rero, where thousands of working­
men’s homes are located. The fire
bids fair to reach Presido, Rich­
mond and the district north of G ol­
den Gate Park. Scattering houses
are said to have checked the pro­
gress of the conflagration on tho
south. People are now abandon­
ing what few effects they saved at
tho commencement of the disaster,
and exerting every effort to escape
with their lives.
A legal holiday was declared
again today to enable the banks to
recover.
awoke was that the house was rock­
ing from one side to the other. The
first thing I thought of was an
earthquake. We all rushed out of
tho house, some in their (very thin­
ly clad.)
It didn’tdu mage the house hardly
any, only of course the flues fell
down and wo had nothing but a
cold lunch all day. There is wreck
and ruin all over town.
Tkere is
hardly a plate glass window left in
town. Fine large brick buildings
all shaken up with large crackt
through them. The school build­
ing is not damaged a great deal,
but the plaster is all off of the ceil­
ings, and I guess there well be no
school before Monday. Business is
on a standstill, there is not a busi­
ness house of aDy kind open and
the troops are guarding all the
streets. While Oakland is pretty
badly wrecked, San Francisco is
practically ruined. They wouldn’t
anybody to go over this morning,
but we got over this evening by
running a great bluff.
It is cer­
tainly the grandest and most awful
sight I ever expect to witness.
There are
so many
people
who are homeless and can’t hardly
get anything to eat. Oakland is
just full of people trying to find
some place to stay aud to get some­
thing to eat.
Well I will close for this this
time, your loving son,

The following ’etter from Mrs.
Nova Laudrith to her parents, Mr.
aud Mrs. W. W. Gage:
Santa Rosa, Cal., April, 18, ’06,
D e a r F o i . e s :
We had a great
shaking up this morning at 5:25.
We are safe, though it gave us a
terrible shaking.
The whole main
part of town is a wreck that
cannot be described.
It is a
horrible sight. Did you have a
shock up your way? We are to
move in our own place tomorrow.
When wo get settled we will write.
Nannie ami K e d went to 8 »n Fran­
cisco yesterday. Cannot get any
word and will go down as soon as
they will lot us land there. I am so
afraid that they are hurt if not kill­
ed, for tho city is something awful,
a great deal worse than here.
Clara.

Miss Blanche Bates writes to her
aunt Mrs. C. S. Helborn: ‘‘Uncle
Thud (Kent) and I are safe—home­
less and penniless, but thankful.
Wo passed last uight in an open
lot with cinders un i ashes falling
upon us. No description possible.
Have had food this morning, No
further danger, so do not worry.”
Mrs. J. W. Bennett 1ms received
word from her parents, that their

mite, but the family was all r glit.

tles, etc. was destroyed, and practic­
ally all chimneys were put out of
commissiou. The large statue of
Minerva on the court house dome
was wrenched from its fastening
and hangs horizontally out from its
pedestal.
No damage w.s done by lire.
The water supply was cut off, but
large reserve was available iu tanks.
In Areata the damage was esti­
mated at $30,000, but this was prob­
ably greatly exaggerated. At For-
tuna the high estimate was $20,000.
Ferndale was reported to have suf­
fered the worst, having hardly a
building left. Our informant saw
at Fields Landing a great crack in
the ground-, four feet wide, nnd
similar fissures were opened in all
parts of the county.
Both the Times and the Standard
estimated the damage iu tho county
at a half million, but this was prob­
ably much too high.
There was no suffering, and mon­
ey was being raised for San Fran
cisco, though no food stuffs could
be spared to send.
The Vance House and tho Grand
hotel, in Eureka, were said to be
very severely damaged, aud the large
store building of Russ, Early &
Williams, at Ferndale was complete­
ly demolished, while the old Boyn­
ton <fe Hall store suffered a loss of
$100,000. In Fortuna the Kramer
hotel was damaged to the extent of
$1500, and the iron doors of the
Newell A Mclntire store were blown
out of the building into the street.
As the Alliance entered the bay,
she met tho
steamer Walballa.
That steamer had left Frisco shortly
before the shock, for the Mendo
cino coast. When she passed Point
Arena she saw that the light house
and lifesaving station were gone,
or, as the captain expressed it
through tho megnphone, “ all bug­
gered up.” — Coast Mail
