There will be abundant food supplied. Do not use any water except for drinking and cooking purposes. Do not light any fires in house stoves or fireplaces. Do not use any house closets under any circumstances, but dig earth closets in yards or vacant lots, using if pessible chloride of lime or some other disinfectant. This is of the greatest importance, as the water supply is only sufficient for drinking and cooking. Do not allow any garbage to remain on the premises. Bury deep and cover im- mediately. Pestilence can only be avoided by complying with these regulations. The district covered by our committees is Kearny street, north to Bay; Van Ness avenue west to First avenue; and it will be nightly patrolled by armed pickets, special po- lice or Federal authorities who are instructed to look out vor fires, give information as to the food supplies and to enforce the above regulations and to prevent looting. You are particularly directed not to enter any business house or dwelling, except your own, as you may be mistaken for one of the looters and shot on sight as the orders are not to arrest, but to shoot down any one caught stealing. Men and boys are wanted by the Relief Committeeat Franklin Hall, Fillmore and Bush streets, to distribute circulars and to” act as messengers for the committee. Volun- teers are earnestly requested to apply there. To the men | say again, use no intoxicating liquors_of any kind, and wherever it is found have some responsible picket or officer notified in order that he may destioy ‘the same. Be patient with those in authorits?, as everything is being done to provide for your wants and your co-operation is not only needed, but asked for to be given cheerfully. By order of layor of the City and County of San Francisco. E. E. SCHMITZ. + Y POST HOSPITAL DEATHS ARE FEW : lDetail of Soldiers Buries Thirty Bodies in Trenches on Hyde Street.

They went to his mether's home, but she could give no further in- formation than to look for a boy and A little yellow dog. They saw the twain at Forty-sixth street and First avenue late Wednesday evening at about the same time the boy and the | dog espied them. There was a chase. The boy and the dog ran into a tenement near by, and, darting into a strange flat, hid under a bed. The agents were close. behind them and they saw the dog and boy crouched together in a corner. It goes without saying that before he was pulled out there was a display of teeth and a tallor worked yesterday on the leg of at least one pair of trousers. —— ¥ FRENCH WOMAN'S JEWELS. NEW YORK, April 18.—Mystery surrounds the arrival at Bellevue Hos- pital of a woman who gives her name as Mrs. Violet de May, of Paris, France, and her six-year-old daughter Violet. The woman was so hystemical that 1t was impossible to obtain lnyl coherent description of her antecedents from her, while a well-dressed marm, who is said to have accompanied her to the institution in a cab, disap- peared before he could be questioned. It was in the early evening that the cab, which appeared to belong to a hotel service, drove up to the recelving ward of the hospital. A well dressed man jumped out, and, turning, spoke a few words, after which the woman appeared. She was very expensively gowned, and on her fingers and in her ears were diamonds estimated to be worth several thousand dollars. She was crying hysterically, wringing her hands and muttering incoherently. Be- hind her came a child, also very well dressed, who seemed to bg the only calm one in the party. When the orderlies came out of the i recelving-room to assist thé woman their attention was distracted from the man for a moment, and when they came to look for him the carriage was being driven away. There was mo number on the vehicle and no way of identifying it. In the reception-room the woman, who had not ceased crying, refused to answer any questions but at last said that she was lfrs, De May, thirty-five years old, and that she was stopping at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Because of her condition it was thougat best not to question her further and she was sent to the alcoholic ward, while the child was sent to the infant ward. It was explained that Mrs. De May's condition was not due to indulgence in alcoholic stimulant, but the ward io which she was sent is the only one where she could be properly treated. Owing to a slight mistake in the name it was at first said at the Fifth Avenue Hotel that nothing was known of the woman, but later it was found ; she had appeared there with her daughter and 'ngaged an apartment. At that time she registered in a very fine lLandwriting as “Mrs. Vielet de May, Paris, France." She was evi- dently a French woman, according to the hotel men, and appeared to be ac- customed ‘o luxury. She did not reach her apartment, they say, but fainted at the foot of the -elevator shaft, terical and It was thought best to have her removed to the New York pital. The hotel men declare that the woman had net been there after she went to the hospital, but other em- ployes told a differént story. said that she had been taken from the hotel to the hospital by “Mike,” a driver, and “Mike” had gone heme immediately after he had performed his errand. His address could not be learned. : hardt Defilap. Vera Steiner, Clarence Pryene, Mrs. Jane Jufos, Mrs. Mary Kecnan, Mrs. Sawsteby, Mry.
