At 5:10 o'clock this morning Sail Francisco was visited by the severest earthquake it has ever known. The shock lasted three minutes, damaging thousands of buildings and totally-wrecking many of them. The loss of life is reported to be very heavy, especially in the tenement districts along the water front. Water mains were broken by the earthquake, so that the Fire Department could get no water, and fires have broken out in varions parts of the city. Telegraph wires were destroyed and communication with out-of-town places is cut off.

The City Hall is a complete wreck. Many of the modern buildings suffered less than those of brick and frame. The shock comiug so early in the morning caused indescribable terror and excitement. Most of the people were asleep and rushed into the streets undressed. Buildings swayed iind crashed, burying the occupants in the ruins.

There was a panic in many of the downtown hotels. The Lick House was badly damaged, but no loss of life was reported thei'3. latest reports show that fires are raging in parts of the city and that many of the large hotels are threatened.
