Spread of the Fire Which Followed Wednesday Morning's Earth
quake is Checked at Last-Relief for the Suffering.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 21. — After three
days and nights of terror and dreadful suspense and
mental and physical suffering, the people of San Fran
cisco today feel that the fury of the great double disas
ter which started with the terriffic earthquake on last
Wednesday morning, has spent itself, and that the worst
is over. It might have been worse in the loss of life, but
the destruction of property that has been wrought by
the earthquake and the fire that followed is simply ap
palling, and the scene of the wrecked city is one which
beggars description.
Nobody yet seems willing to venture with an esti
mate of the number of dead, and the exact number will
probably never be ascertained.
The city had its first taste of practical martial law
last night. Soldiers patrolled the streets, and persons
going about were required to have written 'permits
from the police. Mayor Schmidt issued a proclamtion
admonishing the people not to be afraid of famine, that
abundance of fod would be supplied. Other orders is
sued by the lpayor direct that the people use no water
except for-cooking and-dtinking; that' they' mug# not
light fires in their houses, stoves or fireplaces; that they
must not use house closets, but dig earth closets, us
ing disinfectants. Directions are also given for other
sanitary regulations. *: ■

The relief committee reported that there Was not a

tions.
The mayor sent an urgent appeal to neighboring
towns and cities for blankets, cots, and bedding, asking
immediate shipment.
The latest reports from the ferry building say it is
safe from fire.. Fire tugs will check the fire near the
Lombard street slips. In other directions the fire is
completely controlled.
Mayor Schmidt and General Funston have estab
lished headquarters at Fort Mason, which was saved by
