San Francisco, May 1—Today marked the actual beginning of the disentangling of San Francisco from its disordered condition and of com- mencing the work of reconstruction. On many sides were visible indica- tions of the determination of the mer- chants to resume business. Gangs of men with teams are excavating for foundations in numerous vacant lots and in other places the removal of debris of burned buildings is well un- der way. The streets at an early hour were thronged with laborers on their way to the burned districts, where they had been engaged to assist in the task of cleanjag up.. The boats from the cities across _the bay and the elec- fric ears from the suburbs were packed with workmen who had already se cured employment. In many places advertisements were posted on the walls seeking laborers and these inquiries for men were met with numerous responses from: heads of families who were only too wliling to engage in auy kind of labor. The authorities issued numerous permits to corporations and individuals to open their safes. BEvery precaution was taken to establish the ideutity of the owners, so that it will be impossible to practice frauds. The safes are of the smaller kind- and have sufficiently cooled to permit being opened. By this means a little more money will be. put in general circulation and some of the distress avising from the want of cash will be immediately relieved. ‘Ine water supply is getting better every day and in several sections of the saved district thé force of water In the faucets is almost as strong as 1t was before the big fires.

Thé latter place has been & Mecca for relic hunters and it is, asserted that men snd women of prominence.have been carrying from the ashes of this quar- ter many valuable pieces of chinaware, bronze, etc. NO DAMAGE RESULTS.
