By the Associated Press. P.M.- SAN FRANCISCO, 20. -At 11:30 o'clock last night, the flames were slowly but steadily moving on to the sections of the city still untouched. The sky in all directions presented a lurid picture.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 19 All efforts to check the spread of the flames at Van Ness avenue oy blowing up a mile of buildings on the east side of iVan Ness avenue have proved fruitless.
