FIRE PANIC IN Bid HOSPITAL.
Biasing Laundry Cause Fatienta to
Flee Half CUd.
San Francisco, May The "00 pa
tients in the general hospital at the Pre
sidio were thrown into a panic at 4:13
o'clock this morning by the cry of
fire.'
At that moment flames were discov
ered in the hospital laundry, which was
only a few yards tway. The close prox
imity of the two buildings gave rise to
the fear that the hospital would be
destroyed. r .
In anticipation of such a contingency
hurried arrangement t were made for
the removal of the patients to a place
of safety.
For a few minutes, until the fire In
the laundry was gotten under control
and there was no danger of the flames
spreading beyond that building, pande
monium reigued among the hundreds
of patients.
Those who were not dangerously ul, or
could help themselves, jumped rf row
their eots and beds, and, hastily don
ning what clothes they could find, fled
from the hospital out into the cool
morning air.
Many of the indisposed men and
women did not wait to secure ttteir
clothe, but wrapped themselves in bed
ding and made their 'exit as quickly at
possible.
in more than one instance men ana
women fled out into the air with noth
ing but their night clothes. Score of
patients who had the physical strength
stopped sufficiently long to assist more
weak and unstrung men and women
from the hospital.
mthm 13 minutes alter me aiartn
was given the majority of the patients
had left the hospital building and stood
in groups or lay upon the ground upon
bed clothes, watching the firemen and
soldiers fight the flames in the laundry.
When the flames had been extin
guished the nurses, physicians and sol
diers turned their attention to the pa
tient-refugees, and assisted in taking
them back to their cots and beds in
private rooms and wards.
Men and women became Hysterical
during the progress of the fire, and it
was with difficulty that many of tbsm
could be induced to return to the hos
pital. It is feared that the shock to
many of the more seriously sick patients
will have a serious if not fatal effect.
When the fire was discovered in the
hospital a general alarm was sounded,
Besides the regular post fire department
hundreds of soldiers turned out to fight
the flames. It was only by hard work
that the flames were confined to the
laundry, which, with its contents, was
entirely destroyed, and prevented from
spreading to the general nospitai.

STOLEN CAP IDENTIFIES FUGITIVE
LIMIT OF INSUBANCE PAID.
Companies Will Be Genereus, bat Not
Exceed Legal Liability. '
New York, May, 4 The Tribune to
day says:. ,
Representatives of both foreign and
American fire insurance companies, who
were in the city yesterday, discussed ac
tion to effect a compromise in the ad
justment of losses by the San Francisco
fire.
The great companies express a strong
purpose to be not only just, but gener
ous in cases of doubt, but one insurance
president said:
"The adjusters for this company will
not be allowed to waive the conditions
of its policies, nor the conditions and
restrictions of ifs charters. .We have
no more right to pay a loss occasioned
by earthquake than we have to pay a
loss of life. We are not an earthquake
insurance company, nor a life insurance
company."
Insurance men estimate that the com
panies will ultimately pay from 60 to
75 per cent of the aggregate amount of
the risk.
The message from London insurance
companies to adjusters in Oakland, pub
lished this morning, should have read:
"Under any circumstances, the Brit
ish offices will only pay the losses for
which they are legally liable, syice to
go beyond their contracts would be u
legal.
"They cannot recognize any liability
for damage by earthquake whore no
fire ensued, nor for damage by fire to
fallen or partly fallen buildings, nor
for damages to buildings pulled down or
destroyed, by order of the San Francisco
authorities."
. Heavy Loss in San Mateo County,
San Mateo, Cal., May 4. The losses
in San Mateo County resulting from
the recent earthquake can never be even
approximately estimated. Practically
every building in the county sunered
some damage in chimneys, plaster.
broken furniture or crockery. Here, as
elsewhere, brick and stone buildings
suffered the most. The loss of life was
small. In Half-Moon Bay a painter and
two children were killed in the collapse
of an old adobe building. The heaviest
losses were in Redwood City, where the
new fiou,uvu courthouse, was almost to
tally destroyed.
China Hates to Admit Fact.
London, May 4 A dispatch from
Pekin to the Times today says that
the only thing delaying the settlement
of the French claims growing out of
the Nanchang outrage of last February
is China's reluctance to issue an im
perial edict admitting that' the magis
trate committed suicide.
President Signs Appropriations.
Washington, May 4. President Roose
velt today signed the bills passed by
congress making - appropriations of
$100,000 for Mare Island navy-yard and
$70,000 to meet emergencies in the post
omce department in California.

killed at 11:10 o'clock by Harry Drap
er, who waa ia charge of tho blood
hounds that he had brought from Spo
kane to help ia hunting the fugitive
down.
After being surrounded ia the woods
between the Willamette river and the
railroad tracks at this place this morn
ing, posset began dynamiting the un
derbrush to bring htm out. Draper, ac
companied by the dogs, went into the
timber and Smith' wat discovered bo-
hind a log. He made, a desperate at
tempt to shoot, but Draper anticipated
him. shooting him through tho neck
and killing him instantly.
Smith bore no wounds, snowing con
clusively that he had not been wound
ed by any of the previous shots fired at
oiut.
Crouching in the underbrush between
the railroad tracka and the Willamette
river, about half a mile from this place,
surrounded by posset of armed men
who were dynamiting the woods to drive
the fugitive out, Frank Smith, the des
perado, who made a sensational escape
from the eity jail at Portland, and-si nee
hit flight last week hat killed three offi
cers, made hit last stand.
After murdering roucemau uauioa
at Oregon City, Smith waa next located
near Woodburn by Sheriff Shaver of
Clackamaa and Captain O. D. Hender
son of Woodburn, whom he mortally
wounded, both dying at Baiem a few
hourt later.
The bandit then disappeared at com
pletely aa if the earth had opened up
and enfolded him. Many rumors were
prevalent of the murderer being teen
during the last few dayt In varioui
partt of the district where he wat be-
air hunted, but nothing definite could
be found until this morning, when,
weary and worn with hit long flight,
he waa driven into toe crusn.
The gray cap. slightly torn in one
seam, which was stolen from the Canby
postoffice, and which Smith were, proved
hia nndoinir. The stolen can belonged
to Willie Stuniger, who lives near New
Era.
Willie wat pumping wtter for the
cowt this morning when he taw a man
past along the road wearing hit owa
cap, Willie reeognized the cap at once
and cave the alarm.

out the posses in force, and 200 armed
men with dogs were presently hunting
down the fugitive.
Smith stopped to talk to f lagman
Archibald on the Southern Pacific
tracks. While they were in converse
tion one of the numerous armed parties
that has been scouring the country ap
peared down the road.
"Well. I must take to the woods,"
said Smith. With that he dashed into
the brush.
He was surrounded between the rail
way tracks and the Willamette river,
half a mile below New Lra.
