San Francisco, Cal., April 2 1.
Arrangements '.for- the construction
of the new uml greater San Francisco
are rapidly crystallizing, jind soon
the sounds of building will bo heard
in every block of tho devastated dis
tricts.
The blowing up
the. business section has already
bo-
gun, and is now well under way.
There will nol he a dangerous ruin
standing on Market street by ihis
afternoon. A large squad of ariil-
tarymm, assisted by the municipal debris will not be opened until i cr
am hot-it ion, have been dynamiting j foclly cold.
till the loitering buildings and walls.
This work has so far been confined to
Market street, in order to open a
safe arury from the outlying dis
trict to tho water front. The dis
t rift- north of .Market street and the
business section will receive-. the same
treatment alter .uaiivei mi cat '
clear. j
A commission last Sunday iuves-J
tigated all the buildings left, stand-1
ing upon the main thoroughfare of j
1ho devastated city. It was ascer
tallied that naarly nil tho steel frame
structures had withstood the earth
iiuake, and although almost with
out exception they had been gutted.
I lie loss was in most cases confined lo
the content.

As showing the disposition pre
vailing among property owners in I li
cily. the action or the Humboldt
iiank, which will at once erect a new
building seventeen stories in height,
may be cited. : .
Two months ago plans wore
proved and ..contracts let for
building, and the steel for construc
tion is already on the. way west from
eastern agents of the con I factors.
Yesterdav orders were given lo go j
ahead with the work of the building, j
The construction will bo steel and j
ifii-a cotla, a construction that has ;
stood the test by lire and earth-
(juaki'.
The whole habitable part of San
Francisco has been organized and
districted for sanitary inspection
purposes in the most, thorough man
ner. There is no longer danger ot
epidemic, because the health lepnrt-nient,-
working with the military, is
prepared to handle everything of tha
sort before it becomes threatening.
The embargo on '.merchant vessels
has been removed, and shipping ca.i
now be moved as usual. For tb?
past few days vessels of the Pacific
sciuudron hava been keeping vessels
from leaving the port, but this re
striction has been' removed by or
ders from Admiral Goodrich, com-masder-is-chief
of the Pacific squad
ron to the shipping commissioner ot
the port.
' Damage to Fortifications.
' The big fortifications at H13 en
trance to the Golden Gate did not
escape from serious injury during
the great shake up. The full extent
of the iujury sustained by tho great-
works Is as yet unknown, for noth
ing but a survey by the engineering
corps can disclose the full extent ot
the damage.
At Lime Point the emplacements
of the big guns have been cracked
and twisted. The heavy concrete
both on the Iloor and in the walls of
the emplacements bear unmistaka
ble evidence of having been given a
bad shaking.
Conditions are said to be equally
bad at the fortifications back of old
Fort Point. As is now, the great

Karthqtiake Shock Last Night. I
At 10.40 o'clock last night an I
earthquake shock was felt through-
out lite cily, and momentarily created
some alarm among, the' people, still;
unnerved and over-wrought from i
their recent experience. No damage!
was caused', but in some few In- L
stances persons living in houses ran
out badly frightened, and called upon
ih? sentries and guards to help carry
out clothing and other effects.
The soldiers assured them that
there was no danger. Shortly after
the disturbance an. unconscious man
was found on the sidewalk in front
of u house at Gold-Mi Gate avenue
and Buchanan street. He had evi

Annapolis, Md., April 21. Tho
special train from Washington, hav
ing on board President Roosevelt,
Mrs. Roosevelt, members of the can
ine!,', tho- French ' ambassador and
Madame Jusseratid and a large num
ber of ' distinguished naval 'officers
and civil dignitaries, arrived here
shortly after noon to participate in
l ho ceremonies incident to the sepul
ture of the remains of Admiral Paul
Jones, which were recently convoyed
from France to this country.
The president and party were re
ceived at-the depot by Admiral Sands
md the entire academic board of tho
naval academy and Col. Charles A.
P. Hatfield, with two troops of the
thirteenth cavalry, and the regiment
al band, from which there was a flare
of trumpets as the president emerged
from the station with Admiral Sands.
These visitors at once proceeded to
the naval academy, preceded by the
cavalrymen, and followed by the
others who had come on the presi
dent's train, -
As soon as the entrance of Presi
dent Hoosevlt into the naval acade
my grounds was signalled, a national
salute of 21 guns boomed out from
the old I'nited States ship Hartford,
once Hie flagship of Admiral Farra-
gut. Drawn up opposite the resi
dence of the superintendent; to re
ceive the head of the nation was the
marine battalion and the naval acad
emy band.
Almost 'immediately upon the ar
rival of the distinguished guests
luncheon was served, after which
President Roosevelt and the others
of his party left Admiral Sands' res
idence for the armory. Drawn up
md waiting them was the first bat
talion of midshipmen, to whom had
been assigned tho honor of acting as
uard to the president.'
The president was received with
long continuous applause by the vast
audience that was waiting in the
armory, fo which the remains of tho
long dead admiral had been removed
front the vault in which they had
rested since being brought from
France. The oaken casket was
draiied with the national colors, and
upon it rested two crossed palms, a
wreath of green and the sword pre
sented to the great: .naval commander
by a king of France.
The program in commemoration
of the historic event to be carried
outd uring the afternoon included ad
dresses by President Roosevelt, Am
bassador Jussoraud and Governor

Banner," the "Marseillaise," "Mary
land, My Maryland" and "How Sleep
