25,000 ARE KILLED
SAN FE AH CISCO SUPPRESSES
REAL FACT IN DISASTER
People Contracting Contagions Dis
eases Are First Chlorformed
and Then Cremated.
"It in my impression from a few
days' investigation of the situation at
Ban Francisco that the Dumber of dead
will reach at least 25,000, and the
ruin and financial loss that have been
wrought cannot be comprehended even
after one bus seen the desolated city,
is the statement to tbe Evening Bnlle
tiu, of H. C Eryson, wbo returned to
Walla Walla Friday night from San
Frun Cisco.
Mr. Bryson eaya the anthorities are
suppressing tbe real facts about tbe
number of dead, but are handling the
situution with wondorful success and
discipline, but bad it not been for tbe
presence of tbe regular troops anar
chy in its worst form would bare
prevailed.
"The burned area of this city ex
tends over 3000 acres and tbe stench
arising from tbe dead who are being
dag out as f ant as possible is so terrible
it can scarcely bo endured," continued
Mr. Brysou. "Iu one emergency hos
pital 700 people wbo bad boon injured
in tbe eurtbquuke, wero burned be
fore they could bo removed aud in
Chinatown it is believed that at least
2000 were suffocated and burned to
death. Tbe Celestials were uuuble to
understand tbe orders of tbe soldiers
and hundreds were shot down while
others flod to the underground depart
ments of the buildings in that section,
where the Are is still smoldering and
from whioh there was uo possible
escape."
In the emergeuoy hospitals Mr.
Brysou says he found the most appall
ing soenes he evei witnessed. People
with an arm or a leg burned to a crisp
of faces crashed aud bodies disfigured
are crowded together as thick as tbo
cots aud bods can be placed. Yet,
with all this, the authorities are doing
wonderful work in curing for the in
jured. "It is a surprise," says Mr. Brysou,
"bow few contagious diseases appear
with the conditions as they aro, which
is accounted for by the drustio meth
od of handling them when tbey do
appear. As soon as a contagious dis
cuso appears tbe patient is chloio
tormed uud cremated. Mauy cases
have been disposed of in this man
ner." INDIAN FIGHTER DEAD
