All along their route through Palo Alto to San Jose they gave tho first news of the Saa Francisco calamity, Since their wedding, on December 30 last, Mr. and Ryas have been in Japan and the Hawaiian islands. On April 13 they landed at San Francisco, having returned on the Mongolia, and went to the St. Francis Hotel, where they were roused from sleep by the first shock Wednesday morning, and barely escaped with their lives.

SAW ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS. Captain Longobardi Watched Volcano' Crater Split and Column of Fire Spurt Upward. The first eye-witness of the eruption of Vesuvius to arrive here came to-day in the person of Captain Longobardi. the purser of the La Veloce steamship Slcllia, which left Genoa on April 10, several days after the havoc created by the volcano In Naples and vicinity. A large partv of us weut from Naples to a town called Boscotercasa on the night of April 4," said Captain Longobardi.

"From mat place we saw tho beginning ot tne eruption. It was a grand sight, although terrible in its possibilities. We remained in the town for three days, watching Vesu vlus all the while. The crisis seemed to come on Saturday night, April 7. Toward midnight, when we were standing at the base of the mountains, the mouth of the crater suddenly to open wide, like nuge monster nead.

From the center came volumes of fire and smoke, and through it all there was a mixture of burn ing embers that rolled for miles with the winds through the heavens. Every moment tne air grew more and more oppressive, until finally, at about 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, the troops that had charge of the town ordered all of us back at ton speed The wind changed and the fumes about us got unbearable. When the wind changed we halted long enough to rest a while and then, at 3 o'clock that Sunday morning, we saw a sight that I shall never forget as long as I live. As the mouth of the crater opened still further, so plainly that the movement seemed visible to every one of us. a huae shower of fiery rain, burning embers, rocks tnat were at wheat heat, and a perfect foun tain of sparks, was discharged from the toD of the mouutain, and spread over all the sur rounding country.

At the same time the lava, redhot, and with flames bursting from the streams as they sped down tho moun tainsido, crept down the slopes seemingly bent upon overtaking us. We made a hasty retreat and nnally. toward Sunday after noon, reached fsaples again. A pall of smoke, through which the ashes fell in a thick layer, hung over Naples. The harbor was Invisible from shore, as In a dense fog and incoming steamships were unable to enter for their anchorages.

Many people In the surround ing villages were brought into Naples mor tally hurt by being struck by the flying cmoers irom tne RAIDED CRAP SHOOTERS.

In a letter to Secretary Tafl to-day he made this point plain. The text of the letter follows: "White Ileuse. Washington, April 23 "Secretary of War: "Sir Accoriisr to the newspaper re ports the suffering and destitution are po culiarly great among the Chinese.

He offered an amendment increasing the appropriation to $1,600,000 in accordance with the President's request. He also offered an amendment making the fund applicable to the payment of extra mileage and transportation of troops occasioned by the calamity on the Pacific coast.

In this form the resolution was passed. TELEGRAMS FROM BURNED CITY. Correspondents in San Francisco Tell of the Conditions There. The following telegrams were received this morning at the Southern Pacific Railway offices, 120 Broadway, from the local agent in Oakland, dated Oakland Pier, April 22, W06: "Fire in San' I'Vanelsco appears to be entirely out now. I attended meeting at Fort Mason this afternoon, at which were present Governor Pardee, General Funston, Mayor Schmltz, Chief of Police Dlnao and others, and arrangements have been made for a systematic handling of supplies; also arrangements to divide the city into three districts, the larger portion Including all of the water front from Pacific Mall docks to Cliff House, to be under control of United States troops; another portion to be assigned to state troops, and the remainder to police force.

"Hospital and sanitary arrangements were improved and everything is now in as good condition as can be had under the circumstances. Our lines are all in operation ex cept the narrow gauge between San Jose and Santa Cruz, and the Monterey branch. Ex pect latter to be open soon. We will prob ably resume through trains on coast line to-morrow. We handled sixty-four car loads of relief supplies across the bay to-day.

Authorities in San Francisco have asked us to lay tracks In Third slreet, from Third to Townsend streets, with diverging tracks, for purpose of cleaning up all debris and handling any material for repairs to sewer, water pipes, etc. Will begin construction of this track to-morrow. "Slight shocks of earthquake in Imperial Valley ever since Wednesday. The last being at 5 o'clock this morning. Nothing serious.

but has caused considerable uneasiness." Another telegram dated Oakland Pier, April 22, via Omaha, reads: "Find this morning that the Pajaro River bridge wilt require considerable strengthen ing before we can run trains over it; may possibly be Tuesday morning before it can be used. We will, therefore, continue running Coast Division passenger trains, via San Joaquin Valley route, for the present Conditions in San Francisco are reported to be much more favorable this morning. Everything Is being handled in a systematic manner, and it is now only 8 question of taking caro of the homelesii people and cleaning up the city. We start this morning laying tracks from both Third and Townsend streets and from the belt line at Lombard street toward the center of the city." Another telegram was received this morn ing by the California Fruit Distributors at Warren street, dated April 22. Sacramento.

No damage here. Family all well, slight earthquake at Tulare. No particular dam age to fruit crop." In a telegram received this morning by Emil Boas, general manager of the Hamburg American Line at 37 Broadway, the manager the branch office in San Francisco said "Our offices here have heen destroyed. Conditions are terrible. What the damage to the books and papers have been can not be learned." TELEGRAM FROM E.

H. HARRIMAN Railroad President Says Survivors of Earthquake Will Have to Be Cared For for Some Time. E. II. Harriman.

president of the L'nion and Southern Pacific Railway companies, who left here for San Francisco immediately after ihe earthquake, sent the following telegram from Oakland descriptive of the situation In San Francisco: "Oakland Pier Have Just returned from San Francisco. Impossible to describe the destruction snd all parts of the city affected are total loss. About 50,000 have moved to outlying districts, and those, as well as the whole of the remaining inhabitants of San Francisco, will have to be fed and cared for for some time. There are no markets or stocks of any kind left, that even with abundance of money the bare necessities could not be purchased. People are living In all sorts of temporary habitations, but in a few days It is expected that thev will be supplied with suffi- CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of night dresses, and nearly all the men were In pajamas. They didn't mind that at all. No one was thinking then about ao elaborate toilet. "A great many of the people in that open space had to spend the and maybe every day since, in nothing but pajamas and night dresses. Helped to Believe the Sick and Injured.

"It was not long before a great procession of injured people came. They wanted to get treatment in the little hospital close by. There were so many that the hospital could not look after them. The women from the hotel did duty as nurses. I went oer to the hotel, got cloth and bandaged the wounds of the injured.

Later in the day I foraged around and got milk for them. "There were many pitiful cases of suffering among us, so pitiful that we forgot our own plight. When we all got very hungry Mr. Shedden, the manager of St. Dunstan's, had sandwiches made.

The earthquake had shaken down the glass jars in the pantry and our sandwiches contained broken glass, but we were glad to get them. 'We could get an idea of the horrible sit uation further down town when the people from the poor districts began to flock by. There were mothers almost naked, carrying little babies in one arm and maybe a bun dle of clothing In another. It was a miserable spectacle. I wanted to get away.

How Miss Fremstad Escaped From the City. When the fires broke out all over the city the spectacle grew more terrifying. From the high hill where we were we could get a good view of the burning city. Mr. Shedden, the hotel proprietor, saw that the situation was likely to grow worse, and he determined to send two old people who were visiting him to a place of safety outside the citv.

After hard work he got them aboard a boat for Santa Barbara. While doing this he discovered that ferryboats were still running, and that it was possible to get to the ferry. Ho told me of this on his return and promised to help me get away. He found a carriage in the hotel livery stable. It was a remarkable find, for vehicles were no where to be seen.

Ha got a wagon and my big trunks were piled on it and tied on. With my maid I started in the carriage, with the wagon behind. It was i trip full of obstacles that seemed insur mountable. We would drive to a cross street and find it blocked by some building that had fallen in. All the faces of the smaller build ings had toppled into tho street.

Perilous Passage Through the Wrecked City. Great blocks of stone fell from the build ings around our carriage, ine oriver was badly scared hut Mr. Shedden had told him that it would be the end of him if he turned back without getting us safely to the ferry. We were turned back so often that we had to go miles out of the way. We had to drive down the steep streets never intended for vehicles streets with steiflf set In them for pedestrians.

We got out of the carriage at this poltn and at other times when we had to drive over iplles ol debris. "The greatest danger, aside from falling walls, was that of getting penned In between burning buildings and roasting to death The firemen tried to turn us back, but wo drove on over their hose pipe. The soldiers helped us through and seemed to take quite an interest in us, because ours was the only vehicle anywhere to be seen. "We drove through Chinatown, where thousands of yellow people were huddled in the open spaces, with looks of blank fear upon their faces. The flit had not reached their section at that time.

In fact, it was fully six blocks away from the St. Dunstan's when I left the hotel. The Chinese, low Italians aud people of the riffraff were everywhere, but I saw no respectable looking people. The respectable classes of the city were crazy to get away, but did not think it possible to reach the ferry. "At last we reached the ferry and got on the 6 o'clock boat for Oakland.

It was not crowded. There were very few white persous on the boat, most of the passengers being Chinese. "The trip across the bay showed a wonderful sight behind us. it was 6 o'clock in the evening, more than twelve hours after the earthquake, and fire was raging in many parts of the city. We could see the shattered buldings lighted up by the flames that seemed to be sweeping in every direction.

"When the boat reached Oakland, my maid and I started into the railroad station, but just at that moment the whole place began to rock with another earthquake. I decided to stay out of all buildings and camp in the open parks. While trying to make up my mind where to go a train rolled in. It was the best sight I have ever seen. I did not know where It was going and didn't care.

1 knew it was going somewhere away from Pnn Francisco. 1 had my trunks piled aboard aud in a few minutes was moving east. It was a slow local train, but it reached Oeden, I'tah, finally, and there I got off to change to the Overland Limited. "When I got aboard the Limited I was surprised to tind Weed and Miss Jaco-by there. They had left San Francisco on Thursday and had got out of Oakland almost day later than but their train wan a tap; one.

They had a story of terrible in trying to walk to Oakland around the bay. I had been informed before kfi the Hotel St. Dunstan that the rest of the opra company were safe. The manager had sent word to me to join them in the square, but 1 thought it would be safer to iret as many miles away as Miss Weed Tells of Her Experiences In the Palace Hotel. Marian Weed, who arrived this morning, will Miss lYenstad.

was at the Palace Hotel, In San Fraiciseo. She was asleep in her room, on the sixth floor, when the shock came. "Vne noise that accompanied the shock wai like the roar of a cannon." said Miss Weed. "The building rocked to and fro. and my first thought was that I had been awakened from dream, and thjt 1 was not in a hotel, but on hp ocean steamer.

When I was fully awakened I get up and Mnggered to the door. A sudden lurch of the hotel dumped me in the hall. As 1 arose, the hallway was filled guests, attired onl in their nivh' clothes. "We groped downstairs through utter darkness and rushed out on Market street. The earth was still trembling and looking up Market street we saw the towering Call building swaying and rocking as if it would topple over.

We decided we had better try to secure our belongings. I went back 10 my room and. with assistance, brought my trunk down to the first floor, but had to abandon because the exits were blocked with timbers. Got Separated From Mme. Jacoby and Wandered to the Park.

"Mme. Jacoby secured some wearing apparel and we dressed and left the hotel, not knowing where we were going. Our one strong impulse was to get away somewhere, lor the whole city was in Haines. "We wandered about until noon, and I c.ni hardly tell now how It was. but I got seimratea from Mme.

In desperation I gave on expressman $10 and told him to drive me to some place of safety. He had driven only a short distance when he had to stop because of the debris in the street. "1 then set out on what I now know was an impossiblf task. 1 started to walk around the bny to Oakland, fcvon If I had gone the right way I would never have got there, for mountains would have had to been crossed, and the dis-tance is over fifty miles. this mad effort to escape I round myself (iolden (Jate Park.

I didn't know how got there, unless it was in unconsciously following the crowd Hocking there. I spent the night in an 4 Id abandoned street car." of so THRILLING STORIES Continued From Page 1. Lorrigan. McFarland, Henshaw, Shaw, Slass and Angelottl. Justices Lorrigan and Mc Farland were accompanied by their wives, Other guests of General Sherman on the train were Attorney General Webb, Sccrcta of State Curry, Assistant General Passenger Agent Gregory of the Santa Fe, General Sherman's son, Robert P.

Sherman, superln tendent of the Los Angeles-Pacific Railroad Company, and other prominent General Sherman chartered the train im mediately after the receipt of news of the earthquake In order to reach his wife, daugh ters and nieces who were at his San Fran clsco home. The several Justices of the Su preme Court went north with him on like missions. Relating his experiences of the trip Gen eral Sherman said: Justice Shaw's Sad Experience. "The saddest experience of all fell to Justice Shaw: Tbe apartments at which Mrs Sbaw was stopping had gone down in the flames and the only information that he could get was that she had taken a few of her belongings and gone away. All Thursday and Friday and until Saturday noon Justice Shaw searched the burning city; now afoot, now in a vehicle, but only once did he find trace of his wife.

That was when, inquir ing at random, he found that she had mln gled for a time with the unhappy refugees In one ot the parks. Sick at heart he re turned to Los Angeles last night absolutely without word. His last chance was that he might find her here. But at a late hour no word has reached him and be stated to the Associated Press that it is his purpose to depart for San Francisco to-day to renew the search unless trace is found in the mean' time. Justice Henshaw went to Redwood- Sity, thirty miles away, where he found his wife and family unharmed.

Justice Henshaw went to Redwood City, Rafael, where the earthquake shock was not felt, and Justice Lorrigan found his family safe at San Jose. They had not been mo- lested. Chief Justice Geatty's heart was made glad by the finding of his wife safe in San Francisco. Associate Justice and Mrs. McFarland went to tbelr home in San Fran cisco and found their daughter safe.

Later advices say that their home was burned. Found All Well at Home. General Sherman and his eon, Robert, found all well at the family's home on Val-lejo street and there was a happy reunion on the stairs. General Sherman states that in all his travels through tho burning city he did not see one corpse; that the military preserved splendid order. He believes that beyond any question the ruined city will be rebuilt at once.

Unable, because of the fierce flres, to reach the ferry slip at the foot of Market street, dn Friday evening, General Sherman made his way to Fort Mason and thence was con veyed to Oakland by an army transport. He returned to San Francisco Saturday morning in order to superintend the sending of his family to his country home in Napa County and that day left for Los Angeles in company with Justice Sbaw, General Sherman said: "I hope the public will realize the debt of gratitude it owes to the railroad companies. By grace ot the transportation people the lack of money was no bar to escape from doomed San Francisco. Those who were unable to pay their, way were as promptly and as cheerfully transported as were those with money in their pockets." Some Thrilling Sights. Portland, April 2U Mrs.

Jacob Bab- der and her two children, who were among those arriving on the Southern Pacific free train yesterday, in telling of their escape said that among the frightened crowd which surged toward the ferry just after the earthquake she saw two gray-haired women carrying a monkey In a cage between them. Another woman with hardly a stitch of clothing upon her carried two bird cages. At one time a lunatic ran past them with staring eyes shrieking: "It's the alarm clock." Again they saw a woman Jump from second story window on to a stone side walk. Chorus Girl in Hysterics. Denver, April 23 May Collins, a chorus girl connected with the "Cherry Blossoms" company, which was playing at the Cali fornia Theater last week, was in a pitiable condition on arrival here yesterday as the result of her experience in the earthquake disaster.

Miss Collins was asleep in the room in the Hotel Raleigh, when the shock came and a water tower was toppled over again3t the hotel and crashed, tbrqugh the all into Miss Collins room. Along with other members of the company, she escaped Into Ihe street, but disappeared. As the company was boarding a train at Oakland, preparatory to leaving for the East, Miss Collins ran screaming through the crowd and Jumped aboard. She immediately became hysterical and was with difficulty quieted. All the way to Denver attacks of hysteria were frequently recurrent.

The sight of any animal caused her to cry out in terror and beg for protection. The suppo sition is that Miss Collins, while trying to escape from the stricken district down town, encountered some of the frenzied animals, causing her to fear the sight of beasts of any kind. Bridal Couple Barely Escaped. Chicago. April 23 After escaping from the heart of San Fraiciseo in an automobile last Wednesday, after the beginning of the dis aster, and whirling along in the machine for fifty miles to San Jose, on the last stage of three months honeymoon trip, Mr.

B. T. Patrons Treated to an Hour's Discomfort i Last Night. A "blower" went out of business in the Third avenue power housu of the Brooklyn Kapid Transit a few minutes after 10 o'clock last night, and as a consequence traffic on tho Brooklyn Bridge and on the cars running through Ihe old section of the borough became monotonously slow. Iu addition the.Jight furnished to the cars, was inadc-.

quate, and much discomfort and annoyance to passengers were caused. The unsatis factory conditions prevailed until about 11 o'clock when the normal pace and decent light were restored. The accident to the "blower" was not the only trouble from which I lie scrviw suffered. The coal supply is abundant enough to last a couple of weeks without replenishing, but the quality on hand Is not as g'ood as It might be, and the Brook lyn Ha pid Transit is having considerable difficulty in obtaining a higher grade.

Dorniun, tuniut 1 'M ttumt 1 Th Opera Singer Among the First Refugees to Reach New York. THRILLING ESCAPE FROM CITY Falling Walls and Burning Buildings Lined Her Path Marion Weed Also Here. The first refugees from Sun Francisco reached New York at 11 o'clock this morn Jng, bringing with them thrilling stones of their experiences in tho earthquake and fire. The fast train from Chicago brought four or five persons who had made an early escape from the burning city. The first New Yorker to leave San Fran-risco after the earthquake was on the train This was Miss Olive Fretnstad of the Het- roDOlilau Opera Company, who made her es caDe from the city after twelve horrible hours, filled with scenes of almost unspeak able terror.

On the train with Miss Frein- Ftad were Miss Marion Weed and Mme, of the opera company, both of whom not out of San Francisco tho day after Miss J'remslad, but who were fortunate enough to catch a faster train. Miss Fremstad told a story that thrilled Her account of the disaster, as given to a reporter for the Eagle, at the Algonquin Hotel, on West Forty-fourth street. Manhattan, was so vivid that it made the scenes described seem almost real before the eyes. The good luck of Miss Fremstad in get-ling out of the city earlier than others was riue to the fact that she did not stop at the same hotel with the other grand opera Eingers. She wanted a very quiet apartment, so she went to the St.

Dunstan's, the big steel and brick hotel on Van Ness ave-nus, on a high hill. Subsequent Horrors Worse Than the Earthquake. She and her maid were the only persons of the opera company stopping at the Bt. Dunstan's. Miss Fremstad was tho only one of the company that did not lose all her possessions.

She not only escaped without a scratch, but she saved her trunks and all her clothing. "It was such a horrible experience that I hate to think of It." said Miss Fremstad this morning. "I cannot think of it without thanking God that I am alive and far away from San Francisco. "I passed through horrors such as I never conceived of until they were before me. For twelve hours after the earthquake on Wednesday morning the scenes around me were enough to drive one mad.

"In escaping from the burning city I had 1o pass through miles of streets where soldiers and firemen were flphting the flames and on every side were the dead and the injured. It was a fearful drive over piles of debris, across sunken gaps in the street, end between walls of fire that made the street hot as a furnace. "The earthquake was nothing to the horrors that came afterward. But it was terrible. My bedroom was on the first floor of the St.

Dunstan. My maid's room was on the seventh floor. She suffered more from the quake than I. Building Hocked Swiftly and Violently. "I don't know whether I was thrown out bed or whether I sprang up while still nsleep.

The floor heaved up and down beneath my feet, and swayed from side to side at the same time. The plaster from the ceiling fell over me. The walls groaned end screamed as the creaking steel frames were twisted this way and that.

It was not a slow billowy movement; it was quicker and faster than that. It gave one a ghastly sensation that was worse than fear. "I started to run out in the hall, but I noticed that 1 was not dressed. I tried to be calm and cool. I began to dress.

Over mv head the heavy chandelier was swinging swiftly to and fro, as if swung by a powerful hand. Expected the Ceiling to Fall During Second Shock. "I was partly drepsed when a second quake came. It was fearful. I don't know whether 1 was badly frightened, or whether I was fairly calm, but I recollect that I was cool enough to run over and cling to the wall to save myself from the ceiling which I expected each moment to drop through into my room.

Mr. Van Saun arose as usual this morning and breakfasted about 8:30 o'clock with his wife and mother-in-law.

He read.lwlth In tense Interest, his morning paper, giving the latest news from San Francisco, and searched every line for something that might relieve his anxiety about his mother. After finishing the paper, Mr. Van Saun put on his raincoat and rubbers to go out into the storm, to his office. He kissed his wife at the door. Then some thought seemed to strike him, and he went back to his room, explaining that he had forgotten something he wanted to take to his omce.

A minute or two later Mrs. van baun heard a shot in her husband's room. She ran to his room and found him lying across the bed with a bullet hole in his temple. CATHOLICS OPEN-HANDED. Liberal Contrlbutione Made at the Masses Yesterday in Hesponse to the Bishop's Directions.
