"General Greeley returning fromleave, re-assumed command < Sundayevening, and commends in the highestterms, the efficient and tireless effortsof General Funston, whose. orders andactions utilized and inspired the arrayto most efficient action in staying theprogress of the flames, and saving theremnant of the city. General Greeley 'sopinion is concurred in by the Mayorand the Citizens' Committee. Mostthreatening conditions existed, as re-

gards the water supply, but the extra-ordinary efforts on the part of tho\u25a0water company have remedied the sit-sation which is improving from day to*lay so teat physical sufferings fromlack of water is impossible/although itCannot be delivered in sufficient quan-tities forproper sanitation and fire pur-

GEEELEY IN COMMAND.

"The street railway system is rapidlyapproaching 6uch state of repair as to

promise partial renewal of operationsvery coon. The Signal Corps has es-tablished a military telegraphic andtelephonic line, connecting' the head-quarters of the army and the Mayor,which are at Fort "Mason, with theMint, Hall of Justice, District Head-quarters, and the Ferry, and every pointof special importance. Without thiseystem communication about the city

\u25a0would cave been impossible, and withthe National and State authoritieswould have been 'greatly delayed.

"Three hundred thousand people werer*aderod homeless, and their ordinary'methous for providing themselves -withfood, clothing and shelter, being entirefiestroyed, their feeding and shelteringdemanded extraordinary action and en-jrossed the attention of ever*' one assoon as the ravages of the lire werechecked. Bemediol methods adoptedtmd prosecuted with great efficiencyhave relieved this unprecedented dis-aster. The Citizens' Committee, ap-pointed by Mayor Schmitz, is composed<*f the ablest business men of the city,and their efforts united is harmoniousto an astounding degree, speedilybrought order out of chaos, and intro-duced systems of relief, which have ac-complished wonders. The efforts of theMayor and municipal officials of theCitizens' Committee, and of the regulararmy and the State Guard of Californiahave been practically as efficient asthough the separate authorities wereunder one head. Neither friction norreflections have at any time appeared,and the work of relief has proceededharmoniously, continuously and effi-ciently.

GREAT EFFICIENCY SHOWN.

The hilly configuration of San Fran-oisco made movements by street rail-way almost indispensable. Over thefity's area of twenty-five square milesthe -entire system of railways was dam-aged or destroyed, and has not as yetl;een operated. The scanty supply ofanimals and carriages remaining afterthe fire, has been largely impressed intoCivil and Military service, in order toprevent starvation. The entire tele-jjrapbic and telephonic systems weredestroyed, making communication .im-possible.

"Practically every municipal build-ing is destroyed, forcing the city ofn-fials into scanty quarters, necessarilysituated in localities difficult of access,owing to distance and lack of transpor-tation.

Secretary of Commerce and LaborMetcalf made a full report by wire tothe Presic&ent on Thursday, which in-cluded some recommendations, and yes-terday he received n, telegram from 1

the President stating"that allhis recom-mendations would be carried out. Thereport was then made public here.'

In his report the secretary says Ledocs not believe the number of deathswillf exceed 300. There are 1000 suf-ferers in local hospitals, he says, of.whom not more than 400 are seriouslyinjured. Xo necessity exists at thepresent tune for additional iiurses ordoctors, and he recommends that nonebe sent.

The secretary tells of the general de-vastation and consequent destitution, |giving tho number of homeless at300,000..

The report in full Is as follows:"Headquarters Pacific Division, Fort

Mason, Cal., April26, 1906."To the President. White House, Wash-

ington, D. C."Dear Sir: nave practically com-

pleted inspection of the ruined districts.Ido not believe the loss of life willbeas great as was anticipated. In myjudgment it will be impossible to de-termine the exact number of deaths,but conservative estimates place thenumber at not to exceed three hundred.

"There are about one thc">and suf-ferers in local hospitals, and probablyrot over four hundred are seri-.iusly in-jured. Xo necessity exists at ilie pres-ent timo for curses or doctors, f.nd they'should not be sent except on recom-mendation of General Greeley or Dr.Devine.

CONDITIONS APPALLING."As regards industrial and commer-

cial losses, the conditions are appalling;figures and distances convey slight con-ceptions or realities. Not only have thebusiness and industrial houses and es-tablishments of one-half million peo-ple disappeared, leaving them destitutefinancially and their means of livelihoodtemporarily gone, but the complicatedsystem of transportation indispensableto the daily comfort and interests nfone-half million of people,'has been al-most totally destrovod.

San Francisco. Cal.

"At the meeting of the Citizens'Committee this morning at which werepresent Governor Pardee, MayorScbmitz, Dr. Devine, Generals Greeleyand Funston and other officers of thearmy, it was determined to move theChinese to the MilitaryEeservation atthe Presidio where they will be underthfl direct control and supervision ofthe army and where especial attentioncan be paid. to matters of sanitation.The Chinese Consul called on me todayand when informed of this arrangement,expressed his gratification. Ishall visitthe Chinese camp this afternoon for thepurpose of ascertaining their exact con-dition from personal inspection and ex-amination. It is almost impossible todescribe the ruin wrought by the earth-quake !\nd especially by the conflagra-tion. The conflagration was due entire-ly to the absolute lack of water supply.The people however, are confident andhopeful for the future and have not inany sense lost their courage. They feelunder deep obligations to you and theNational Government for the promptand efficient assistance rendered them.

"It is reported to me* that no dis-crimination of any kind has been shownagainst anyone on account of race orcolor. The spirit has been and is -toassist the suffering whoever and where-ever they may be. Cases of violenceand crime have been exceedingly rare.

"The health of#the city is remark-

ably good, everything considered.Stories regarding pestilences and epi-demic are destitute of foundation. Everycare is being taken to prevent epidemicsor extended sickness in the future, es-pecially by providing against contami-nation* of water supply, and for theproper disposal of refusa of all kinds.

DISPOSITION OF CHINESE.

"Itis almost impossible to give anaccurate estimate of the cost of repairsto public buildings but from personalinspection of the buildings and fromfigures given me by competent buildersIshould say that the Appraisers' Build-ing would cost for repairs about $10,000,Mint $15,000, and the Post Office build-ing not to exceed $500,000.

Doctor Devine arrived Tuesday andco-operative action is already initialedinsuring harmony between the Citizens'Committee, the Red Cross agents andthe military authorities as to lines ofaction "to be followed in the future.General Greeley has agreed in writingto take over, as asked by the Mayor,by the Citizens' Committee and Dr. De-vine, the responsibility of handling therelief supplies and their delivery undersuitable regulations^ to the ncedy^ anddestitute.

EEPAIES NEEDED.

"The fortifications are practicallyuninjured. Considerable damage wasdone to- the military buildings at thePresidio and on Angel Island. Reportsindicate that there wae no damage tothe buildings on Alcatraz Island. TheArmy warehouses in the city were en-tirely destroyed. The Mint and ap-praisers' building are practically intact.The Sub-Treasury is entirely destroyed.Opinions differ as to the extent of in-juries to the Post Office. It is not be-lieved that any vaults in the Sub-Treas-ury or any banking institution in thecity havo suffered any material

Continuing the report says:

poses for some time.""Itwould appear i

impossible but Iam assured by GeneralGreeley and others that the methods of,relief and restoration were so efficient \

that no persona has suffered from lackof food, water or shelter. \

TLe question of sanitation is receiv-ing special attention. The entire cityis inspected daily by \u25a0 four trainedmounted officers who report regularlythe situation and necessities.

Secretary Metcalf gives the Presidentthe pleasing information that the costlydefensive works and fortifications com-manding the harbor are safe. He saysin this connection:

'"Do you think Secretary Taft; will

"Icannot .answer,'.' replied GeneralGreely, "but Iwill say that Iwouldgreatly regret such action. -We areall working for the. good of San Fran-cisco and . the state of California, andI*am firmly convinced, after a thor-ough review of the situation: that \ theregular troops should be kept on duty.

"And," continued General Greely,' "Ido not mind stating to the AssociatedPress that. Ihave' fully informed Sec-retary Taft of my opinion in the mat-ter. Had it not been for.the soldierswho were here -:during the first days

of the \ disaster and those : following,pillage -would. surely have occurred.'The soldiers performed wonderfulwork in fighting the fire, and Ibelievethe;fact that the residence portion ofthe city was not .wiped out is due -toGeneral Funston's^ decision in order-out~the troops of liis command. /;.

Asked what iifhis opinion was thereason for the disinclination to sendmore troops here, the General :said:

"That is'something Icannot answer

with any degree of positiveness, butperhaps the question of-transporta-tion and maintenance of _such a,greatbody of men ia a <factor. expenseof? sending so many 'men *to this cityand the cost of feeding * and '-clothingthem is necessarily fvery great. "Wohave 2500 troops cnv;route' to SanFrancisco. Sqme of them from suchdistant points asj Fort

'/General A: W.^Greely was ',askedwhat.would be the effect of the with-drawal of federal . troops if such .ac*

tion is determined upon by the WarDepartment. , :;\

;.\u25a0\u25a0-•::/; ;/f."'."Well," said .the General, "the city

so far as the .military, is concerned,would bo on the same basis as it wasbefore the earthquake and fire. Thesoldiers would be assigned to theirrespective posts and the routine ofthe army resumed] as if notulng un-iusual had occurred."

: ;t'The impression seems somehow tohave reached the \u25a0 War Departmentthat our. troops are doing ordinary" po-lice duty, but this,1 of-course, is anerroneous understanding of|the situ-ation. The troops iare on duty andacting in conjunction ;with the statesoldiers, the municipal "police depart-

ment and the Red Cross, merely, as amoral support, as \u25a0it were. The fed-eral troops are subordinate to:muni-cipal control, and. in"\u25a0.-. my . opinionshould be retained ion:duty. In fact,we should have 5000itroops here prop-erly to \u25a0 carry on >- the work instead of2500 now on duty." ' l'~:-~'\

I"The presence .of federal \u25a0 troops isabsolutely .necessary -for -the;good; ofthe city..= Neither this tstate, the mu-nicipal, nor the Red Cross authoritiescan adequately perform their ''variousduties without the \assistance of regu-lar troops.
