A drenching rain fell upon San Francisco Sunday, night' From midnight until 8 oclock it poured and drizzled at intervals, while' A high wind added a melancholy ac-- j compartment, whistling and sighing pbout the ruins of the buildings in the burned district Five days previous when the fire catastrophe was In its Infancy this downpour would have been regarded as a mercy and a Godsend. But coming when it did, It could be regarded In no other light than an additional calamity. It meant indescribable suffering to the tens of thousands of people camped upon the naked hills and In the parks and open places of the city. Few of these were provided with For the most Waterproof covering. part their only protection from the wet was a thin covering of sheeting tacked upon improvised tent poles. Through this the water poured as through a sieve, wetting the bedding and soaking the ground upon which they lay. When it is understood that thousands upon thousands of delicately nurtured women and infants in arms and old and feeble people were In this plight, nothing need be added to describe the misery of their condition. The downpour has aggravated the already unsanitary condition of the camps, and will doubtless add great numbers of pneumonia cases to those already crowding the of regular and temporary hospitals the city. It was feared by many that the heavy rains of Sunday night had weakened the walls left standing In the burned district and further increased the danger of life and limb, but assurance was given at the headquarters of the building committee that the downpour had no such effect. Under the direction of this committee walla are being dynamited and the danger Instead of Increasing is lessening every hour. Salt Lake City.

CAME WHEN PEOPLE WERE SLEEPING. San Francisco. The earthquake curred at 8:15 on Wednesday morning. April 18, causing fires to break out In a dozen localities and as the watei mains were destroyed by the shock, it soon became apparent that the firemen were powerless, and that the city was doomed to suffer the greatest conoc- " flagration of Its history. The great damage to the city was not from the earthquake, but from the flames following, which swept ovei tho entire city, despite the herok work of the firemen and citizens. Many were killed by the falling buildings at the moment of the earthquake, while many of Injured imprlo oned In wrecked buildings were roast ed to death. Every conceivable con veyance, from automobiles to hano carta, was pressed Into service to convey the Injured and dying to Impro vised hospitals. Electric power was stopped anc street cars did not run. Railroads and ferry boats also ceased operations. Following the first shock there wai another within five minutes, but not nearly so severe. Three hours latei there was another Blight shock. . This harrowing experience has beet a testimonial to the modern steel building. A score of these structures were In course of erection, and not one ol these suffered from the earthquake The completed modern buildings were also immune from harm by earthquake. The buildings that collapsed were all flimsy wooden and brick structures. The damage by earthquake does not begin to compare with the loss by fire. Many of the Occupants Incinerated Only a Few Bones Being Left. San Francisco. Forty bodies were .aken from a building at 119 Fifth street Saturday by the Red Cross service. The structure, which was a wooden building containing three four-stor- y flats of ten rooms each, collapsed during the earthquake. At the time several persons were taken out alive from the upper stories, but It was thought that ail the Inmates had escaped. The ruins took fire shortly after, and although efforts were made to extinguish the flames the entire building was consumed. The bodlee of the unfortunates imprisoned within the ruins were incinerated, only the skulls and a few bones being left. i 4 FIVE HUNDRED BODIES. ( This Number Had Been Recovered From Ruins Sunday Night San Francisco. The total of bodies recovered and buried up to Sunday night is 500. No complete record can be had at this time, as many bodies have been buried without permits from the coroner and the board of health. The searchers of the coroners and the board of health depart menta on Sunday found not more than twenty bodies. They were burled Immediately. Few of these bodies could be Identified and the graves were marked by numbers. It Is Impossible at the present time to obtain any sort of death list or even to make a reliable estimate as to the number of casualties. Whenever a body Is found iCla buried Immediately, without any formality whatever, and as many of these .burials have been made at widely separated parts of the city by different bodies of searchers, who do not even make a prompt report to headquarters, considerable confusion has resulted in the estimating of the total number of casualties and exaggerated reports have resulted. CHINATOWN A MASS OF M I; I RUINS. Famous Section of San Francisco Falls Prey to Flam.,. San Francisco. Strange Is the seen where San Franclsco'a Chinatown stood. No heap of smoking ruins marks the site of the wooden war rens where slant-eye- d men of th Orient dwelt in thousands. The place Is pitted with deep holes and seared with dark passageways, from whose depths come Smoke wreaths. All th wood has gone and the winds are streaking the ashes. White men never knew the depth oi Chinatowns underground city. They talked of these subterranean runways and many of them had gone beneath the street levels, two or three stories But now that Chinatown has been unmasked, for the destroyed buildings were only a mask, men from the hilt side have looked on where Its Innet secrets lay.
