BAN JOSE, CAL. POSTOFFICE AND ST. JOSEPH'S CATHEDRAL IN FORE. GROUND. ENTIRE. BUSINESS SECTION, INCLUDING ; COURT HOUSE, 'ESTROYED BY EARTH. QUAKE AND FIRE. FIFTY PERSONS REPORTED KILLED now at the St. Francis hotel, one of the few big hotels that are still standing. The Majestic theater at Market and Eighth streets was burned. The Columbia was wrecked by the earthquake and Central was razed by the flames. 11 a. m. Gen. Funston, commander at the Presidio, has turned out the en- tire force of soldiers at that post and established martial law. Thus far there has been very little looting or disorder owing to the utter panic in the city. There is a Jam of panic stricken peo- ple at ' the ferry seeking to cross the bay to Oakland. The mayor has closed every saloon in the city. Fires are raging everywhere and the firemen are Using dynamite. The Palace and Grand hotels have been destroyed. Mayor Schmitz has sent to Oakland for more dynamite. Fires are reported at Oakland. Ala- meda and Berkeley. The Examiner and Call buildings are ablaze, also the Rialto building. The Southern Pacific building, next door to the Postal Telegraph, is afire. The Postal Telegraph building Is al- most an entire wreck, but communica- tion is maintained with Los Angeles on a single wire. Massive Structures Wrecked The Sunset Telephone building on Bush street and the Western Union building at Pine and Montgomery streets are entirely wrecked. The en- tire north end of San Francisco, ac- cording to information reaching here by private message, is destroyed. Many buildings in the south end of Market district, the old end of town, collapsed and it Is impossible to esti- mate the loss of life. 11:10 a. m.—The Postal Telegraph office is reported burning, and the force is deserting the building. This will cut oft the only means of communication. 11:15— The fire is still raging as seri- ously as ever, and frequent shocks oc- curring. Itis feared that ifanother as severe as the one at 6 o'clock occurs it will destroy the whole town. Four Hundred Dead 11:10— The Postal people deserted their buildingand sent their forces to Oak- land to attempt to establish communi- cation, The Call building is entirely destroyed, and the flre Is working westward from that point. Many frame buildings are in Its path and it has full sway. _ up to 11 o'clock about 400 dead had been brought to Mechanics' pavilion and others are coming In all the time. The soldiers are maintaining order aa (Continued from Tarn* One.) I buildings have been swept clean and I tonight the blackened beams and great 'skeletons of factories and offices stand .'shllhoutted against a - background of silhouetted against a background of Tithe entire city. The whole commercial and office sec- . tion of the city on the north side of Market street from the ferry building ' to Tenth street has been consumed in : flames, while hardly a building Is Btanding In the district south of Mar- '; ket street. At 2 o'clock, despite , the - heroic work of the firemen and the troops of dynamiters, who razed build- Ing after building and blew up prop- erty I -valued at millions, the flames spread across Market street to the north dlde and swept up Montgomery street practically to Washington street. Along Montgomery street are some of the richest banks and commercial houses In San Francisco. Blocks of other houses are in the path of the flames and nothing seems to be at hand to stay their progress. Block after block of business houses are red hot masses of ruin, and it will be months before the money that was housed In their vaults can be reached. Fire Chief Injured . The California hotel on Bush and . Kearny streets was destroyed, and the . fallingchimney and cornice of the hotel crashed through the flre house adjoin- 3 ing, severely injuring Fire Chief Sul- livan, so that he was unable to direct the work of flre fighting. He la now in a hospital in a precari- ous condition. . L: . Despite this disheartening accident the entire fire department, assisted by part of the Oakland department and many volnnteers from outside districts, ' did heroic service, many brave men -losing their lives while performing the Jwork of succor. *'\u25a0 The earthquake had broken the water mains and the men were without water to battle with the flre fiend. Whatever water was obtained to fight the flames in the harbor front and Jn the factory districts was pumped from the bay. This compelled dynamiting as the only possible method of saving any of the city. ' Wind Carries Flames The flames were kept confined to the south of Market Btreet in the busl- ' ness section until about 3 o'clock In the afternoon, when the wind carried rßheetßr Bheetß of flames Into the richest part of the city. The Palace, a caravansary that haa sheltered famous people from all parts of the world, was burned clean. Noth- ing except the gutted framework of its 1000 rooms now stands. ; Among the notable buildings de- stroyed were the Grand opera house on , (Mission street, where the Conried Opera company opened Its season Monday night. The members of the troups are far as It is possible, but the population has no thought of anything but to es- cape from the city. Shocks continue at intervals. At 9:20 and at 10 o'clock there were heavy shocks that did further damage and brought Increased panic. The Nevada bank block and the Western Union buildings at Pine and Montgomery are utterly demolished. A lodging house at Second and Ste- venson streets buried many victims, six having been taken out. The flames fanned by the rising breeze swept down the main whole- sale business streets to within 100 feet of the Union ferry depot, the high tower on which ,stood at a dangerous angle. The big wholesale grocery establish- ment of Wellman, Peck & Co. was on fire from cellar to roof, and the heat . was so oppressive that passengers from the ferry boats were obliged to keep close to the water's edge in order to get past the burning structure. It was impossible to reach the center of the city from the bay without skirting the shore for a long distance so as to get around the burning district. At about 8 o'clock the Southern Pacific officials refused to allow any more passengers to land and sent back those already on \u25a0 the boats. The ferry and train service ' of the Southern Pacific was entirely ', abandoned, owing to the damage done , to the power house by the earthquake at Emeryville.' Ferry Tower Totters » At 9 o'clock this morning men from ' the Presidio arrived down town to pa- ' trol the city district. The Thirteenth infantry,' 1000 strong, arrived from Angel island a little later and went on i patrol duty at once. The soldiers have < been ordered to shoot down thieves < caught in the act of robbing the dead i and to guard with their lives the mil- i lions of dollars' worth of property which had been placed in the streets i that it may escape the ravages of the flames. The First California artillery, 1 200 strong, two companies, have been i detailed to patrol duty on Ellis island. ; Two companies are patrolling < Broadway in the Italian district. i Safety Committee . ] At an early hour this morning Mayor ] Schmltz, who has established his office i at police headquarters, named the fol- lowing citizens as a committee of safety: i James D. Phelan, Herbert" Law, i Thomas Magee, Charles Fee, W. P. i Herrin, Thornwell Mullaly, C. W. Me- 1 Enery, W. H. Leahy, J. Downey Har- 1 vey, J. Dinan, John K. Mahoney, Henry i T. Scott, I. W.

Woodward, Howard Holmes, George I Dlllman, J. B. Rogers, David Rich, H. T. Crosswell, Garet Howell, Frank : Maestrettl, Clem Tobin, George Tou- rney and William Watson. . < Shelter. for Afflicted j Mayor Schmitz sent out word to the i bakeries and milk stations throughout | the city that their food supply must i be harbored for the homeless. Provis- ion has already been made to place tents in every park in the city, and in those people who have lost all will 1 be given food and shelter. 1 j Early in the morning the prisoners confined in the city prison on the fifth t floor of the hall of Justice were trans- < f erred to the basement of the Btruc- ' ture. Later they were removed I to the Broadway jail, and If necessity arises 1 they willbe taken to the branch county < Jail on the Mission road. ' I Insurance Will Be Paid , Commissioner. B. Myron Wolf an- l nounced at noon that the i eighty-odd i flre insurance companies interested had decided to pay dollar for dollar to every one insured with them. :Tho . companies will not discriminate i between .flre and earthquake, and i every one insured will be paid to the l extent of the loss. But two of the ! companies affected are Pacific coast ( concerns, the others having principal I CLAUS BPRECKELB' (CALL) BUILDING, CORNER OF THIRD AND MARKET STREETS. 31S FEET HIGH. THIS WAS THE HIGHEST OFFICE BUILDINGIN SAN FRANCISCO. THIS BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURE SURVIVED THE SEVERE EARTHQUAKE SHOCK, BUT LATER WAS PRACTICAL. LV WIPED OUT OF EXISTENCE BY THE FLAMES. THE INTERIOR WOODWORK i.ND EXPEN- SIVE OFFICE FURNISHINGS WERE TOTALLYDESTROYED, AND ONLY THE BARE AND BLACKENED WALLS REMAIN offices in the east and in Europe, and all will stand the loss without danger of failure. Saloons Closed One of the first orders issued by Chief of Police Dinan this morning was the closing of every saloon in this city. This step was taken to prevent drink crazed men from rioting in the streets. There is little dynamite available in the city. At 9 o'clock Mayor. Schmltz sent a tug to Pinole for several cans of the explosive. He also sent a telegram to Mayor Mott of Oakland. At 10:40 o'clock he received this reply to his, Oakland message: "Three engines and hose companies leave here Immediately. Will be fol- lowed -by dynamite is soon as ob- tained." Kill Dying Man A. H. Hussey came to the station at the Hall of Justice shortly before 10 o'clock this morning, and told how, at the direction of a policeman whom he did not know but whose star num- ber he gave at 615, he had cut the arteries in the wrists of a man pin- ioned under timbers at the St. Cather- ine's hotel. According to the statement by Hus- sey, the man was begging to be killed, and the policeman shot at him, but his aim was defective and the bullet went wide of the mark. The officer then handed Hussey a knife, with instructions to cut the "veins in the Buffering man's wrists, and Hus- sey obeyed. Chief of Police Dinan directed that Hussey be locked up. There has been no opportunity to in- vestigate his story, but the police be- lieve the awful calamity rendered him Insane, and that the incident reported to them had no existence except in the imagination of the man who made the report. Attention for stricken Mayor Schmltz sent out orders that phyolcal necessities of the sufferers be first attended to. Goldberg, Bowen & Co. sent word that they have placed ail their stores at the disposal of the city, including the pro- visions contained \u25a0 therein. The sheds over the Southern Pacific long wharf on San Francisco bay havo completely collapsed, and thousands of tons of coal went Into the bay.' \u25a0 The long wharf was one of the most Important shipping points about the bay, and freight traffic will be Inter- rupted considerably. C Fire Mains Break As a result of the breaking of the mains of the Spring Valley Water com- pany, the town of San Mateo wa4 flooded. . ' .* 4 . . . \u25a0 It was owing to the , broken mains that the fire gained such headway In San Francisco. '_ <. :_: _ \u25a0 ; While near the .bay,. the water of which did the firemen rood. service Sparks carried across the wide streets ignited the Phelan building, and the army headquarters of the department of California were burned. A little further down Market street the Academy of Sciences, , the Flood building and,- the History building burned like so much tinder. The Parrot building, in which 'were located the chambers of the state su- preme court, the lower floors being de- voted to an Immense department store, was razed, though its massive walls were not all destroyed. \ Roar of Flames Awful At first no impression was made but suddenly there was a cracking of glass and an entrance was effected. .The In- terior furnishings of the fourth floor were the first to go.- Then as though by magic smoke is- sued from the top of the dome. This was followed by a most spectacular illumination. The round windows of the dome showed like so many full moons; they burst and gave vent to long, waving streams of flame. The great structure which had withstood the forces of the earth appeared doomed to fall by fire. After a while, however, the light grew less Intense, the flames having no more to oohsume gradually went out ' leav- ing the building standing, but com- pletely gutted. Call Building"Destroyed From the opera house the fire leaped from building to building,quickly level- ing them. The Call editorial and me- chanical departments were totally de- stroyed in a few minutes, and the Uames leaped across Stevenson street toward the flfteen-story'stone and iron Claus Spreckels building, which, with its lofty clonus, •is the most notable office building\u25a0 in San Franolsco. ' Two small wooden buildings furnished fuel to ignite the splendid pile. Thousands of people watched the hungry tongues of flame licking the stone wall. The Grand opera house on Mission street caught fire. The Metropolitan Opera company from New York had Just opened its season there and all the expensive scenery and costumes were soon reduced to ashes. Grand Opera House Burns From early morning the offices of the Western Union and Postal com- panies in Oakland have been filled with people in all walks of life, filing messages of Inquiryas to the condition of friends and interests to other cities of California which Buffered from the earthquake. The fires swept down the streets so rapidly that it was practical-, ly impossible to save anything in its way. The towji of San Rafael, despite Us own trouble, dispatched fire fighting apparatus to San Francisco. Great masses of flames rose high In the heavens or rushed down some nar- row street. Joining midway between the sidewalks and making a horizontal chimney of the. narrow passageways. - The dense smoke that . arose from the entire business district spread out Banks and commercial houses, sup- posed to be flre proof, though not of modern build, burned quickly and the roar of the flames could be heard even on the hills which were out of the dan- ger zone. Here many thousands of people con- gregated and witnessed the awful scene. \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0.-, ' \u25a0 ' \u25a0 Burn Like Tinder along the bay, the fire took the Rialto building, a handsome sky scraper, and converted scoreß of rsolld •\u25a0 business blocks into smouldering piles of bricks.

11:15— The fire is still raging as seri-ously as ever, and frequent shocks oc-curring.Itis feared that ifanother as severe

as the one at 6 o'clock occurs it willdestroy the whole town.

Four Hundred Dead11:10— The Postal people deserted their

buildingand sent their forces to Oak-land to attempt to establish communi-cation,

The Call building is entirely destroyed,and the flre Is working westward fromthat point.

Many frame buildings are inIts pathand it has full sway.

_up to 11 o'clock about 400 dead had

been brought to Mechanics' pavilionand others are coming Inall the time.

The soldiers are maintaining order aa

(Continued from Tarn* One.)

Ibuildings have been swept clean and

Itonight the blackened beams and great

'skeletons of factories and offices stand.'shllhoutted against a

-background of

silhouetted against a background ofTithe entire city.

The whole commercial and office sec-. tion of the city on the north side of

Market street from the ferry building'to Tenth street has been consumed in

: flames, while hardly a building Is

Btanding In the district south of Mar-'; ket street. At 2 o'clock, despite ,the-

heroic work of the firemen and thetroops of dynamiters, who razed build-Ing after building and blew up prop-erty I-valued at millions, the flamesspread across Market street to thenorth dlde and swept up Montgomerystreet practically to Washington street.

AlongMontgomery street are some ofthe richest banks and commercialhouses In San Francisco. Blocks ofother houses are in the path of theflames and nothing seems to beat hand to stay their progress. Blockafter block of business houses are redhot masses of ruin, and it will bemonths before the money that washoused In their vaults can be reached.

Fire Chief Injured. The California hotel on Bush and.Kearny streets was destroyed, and the. fallingchimney and cornice of the hotel

crashed through the flre house adjoin-3 ing, severely injuring Fire Chief Sul-livan, so that he was unable to directthe work of flre fighting.

He la now in a hospital ina precari-ous condition. . L:.

Despite this disheartening accidentthe entire fire department, assisted bypart of the Oakland department andmany volnnteers from outside districts,'did heroic service, • many brave men

-losing their lives while performing theJwork of succor.*'\u25a0 The earthquake had broken the watermains and the men were without waterto battle with the flre fiend.

Whatever water was obtained to fightthe flames in the harbor front and Jnthe factory districts was pumped fromthe bay.

This compelled dynamiting as theonly possible method of saving any ofthe city.' Wind Carries Flames

The flames were kept confined tothe south of Market Btreet in the busl-'ness section until about 3 o'clock Inthe afternoon, when the wind carried

rßheetßrBheetß of flames Into the richest partof the city.

The Palace, a caravansary that haasheltered famous people from all partsof the world, was burned clean. Noth-ing except the gutted framework of its1000 rooms now stands.;Among the notable buildings de-stroyed were the Grand opera house on,(Mission street, where the Conried Operacompany opened Its season Mondaynight. The members of the troups are

far as Itis possible, but the populationhas no thought of anything but to es-cape from the city.

Shocks continue at intervals. At 9:20and at 10 o'clock there were heavyshocks that did further damage andbrought Increased panic.

The Nevada bank block and theWestern Union buildings at Pine andMontgomery are utterly demolished.

A lodging house at Second and Ste-venson streets buried many victims, sixhaving been taken out.

The flames fanned by the risingbreeze swept down the main whole-sale business streets to within 100 feetof the Union ferry depot, the hightower on which ,stood at a dangerousangle.

The big wholesale grocery establish-ment of Wellman, Peck & Co. was onfire from cellar to roof, and the heat .was so oppressive that passengers fromthe ferry boats were obliged to keepclose to the water's edge in order toget past the burning structure. It wasimpossible to reach the center of thecity from the bay without skirting theshore for a long distance so as to getaround the burning district. At about8 o'clock the Southern Pacific officialsrefused to allow any more passengersto land and sent back those already on \u25a0

the boats. The ferry and train service'

of the Southern Pacific was entirely ',abandoned, owing to the damage done ,to the power house by the earthquakeat Emeryville.'

Ferry Tower Totters »At 9 o'clock this morning men from

'the Presidio arrived down town to pa-

'trol the city district. The Thirteenthinfantry,' 1000 strong, arrived fromAngel island a little later and went on ipatrol duty at once. The soldiers have <

been ordered to shoot down thieves <caught in the act of robbing the dead i

and to guard withtheir lives the mil- ilions of dollars' worth of propertywhich had been placed in the streets i

that it may escape the ravages of theflames. The First California artillery,1200 strong, two companies, have been idetailed to patrol duty on Ellis island. ;

Two companies are patrolling <Broadway in the Italian district. i

Saloons ClosedOne of the first orders issued by

Chief of Police Dinan this morningwas the closing of every saloon in thiscity. This step was taken to preventdrink crazed men from rioting in thestreets.

There is little dynamite available inthe city.

At 9 o'clock Mayor. Schmltz sent atug to Pinole for several cans of theexplosive. He also sent a telegram toMayor Mott of Oakland. At 10:40o'clock he received this reply to his,Oakland message:

"Three engines and hose companiesleave here Immediately. Will be fol-lowed -by dynamite is soon as ob-tained."

Kill Dying ManA. H. Hussey came to the station

at the Hall of Justice shortly before 10o'clock this morning, and told how,at the direction of a policeman whomhe did not know but whose star num-ber he gave at 615, he had cut thearteries in the wrists of a man pin-ioned under timbers at the St. Cather-ine's hotel.

According to the statement by Hus-sey, the man was begging to be killed,and the policeman shot at him, but hisaim was defective and the bullet wentwide of the mark.

The officer then handed Hussey aknife, with instructions to cut the "veinsin the Buffering man's wrists, and Hus-sey obeyed.

Chief of Police Dinan directed thatHussey be locked up.

There has been no opportunity to in-vestigate his story, but the police be-lieve the awful calamity rendered himInsane, and that the incident reportedto them had no existence except in theimagination of the man who made thereport.

Attention forstrickenMayor Schmltz sent out orders that

phyolcal necessities of the sufferersbe first attended to.

Goldberg, Bowen & Co. sent word thatthey have placed ail their stores at thedisposal of the city, including the pro-visions contained \u25a0 therein.

The sheds over the Southern Pacificlong wharf on San Francisco bay havocompletely collapsed, and thousands oftons of coal went Into the bay.' \u25a0

The long wharf was one of the mostImportant shipping points about thebay, and freight traffic will be Inter-rupted considerably. C

Fire Mains BreakAs a result of the breaking of the

mains of the Spring Valley Water com-pany, the town of San Mateo wa4flooded. . ' .* 4 . . . \u25a0

Sparks carried across the wide streetsignited the Phelan building, and thearmy headquarters of the departmentof California were burned.

A little further down Market streetthe Academy of Sciences, , the Floodbuilding and,- the History buildingburned like so much tinder.

The Parrot building, in which 'werelocated the chambers of the state su-preme court, the lower floors being de-voted to an Immense department store,was razed, though its massive wallswere not alldestroyed. \

Roar of Flames Awful

At first no impression was made butsuddenly there was a cracking of glassand an entrance was effected. .The In-terior furnishings of the fourth floorwere the first to go.-

Then as though by magic smoke is-sued from the top of the dome.This was followed by a most

spectacular illumination.The round windows of the dome

showed like so many full moons; theyburst and gave vent to long, wavingstreams of flame. The great structurewhich had withstood the forces of theearth appeared doomed to fall by fire.After a while, however, the light grewless Intense, the flames having no moreto oohsume gradually went out

ing the building standing, but com-pletely gutted. •

Call Building"Destroyed

From the opera house the fire leapedfrom building to building,quicklylevel-ing them. The Call editorial and me-chanical departments were totally de-stroyed in a few minutes, and theUames leaped across Stevenson streettoward the flfteen-story'stone and ironClaus Spreckels building, which, withits lofty clonus, •is the most notableoffice building\u25a0in San Franolsco.

'Two small wooden buildings furnished

fuel to ignite the splendid pile.Thousands of people watched thehungry tongues of flame licking the

stone wall.

The Grand opera house on Missionstreet caught fire. The MetropolitanOpera company from New • York hadJust opened its season there and allthe expensive scenery and costumeswere soon reduced to ashes.

Grand Opera House Burns

From early morning the offices ofthe Western Union and Postal com-panies in Oakland have been filledwith people in all walks of life, filingmessages of Inquiryas to the conditionof friends and interests to other citiesof California which Buffered from theearthquake. The fires swept down thestreets so rapidly that it was practical-,ly impossible to save anything in itsway.

The towji of San Rafael, despite Usown trouble, dispatched fire fightingapparatus to San Francisco.

Great masses of flames rose high Inthe heavens or rushed down some nar-row street. Joining midway betweenthe sidewalks and making a horizontalchimney of the. narrow passageways.-

The dense smoke that .arose fromthe entire business district spread out

Banks and commercial houses, sup-posed to be flre proof, though not ofmodern build, burned quickly and theroar of the flames could be heard evenon the hills which were out of the dan-ger zone.
