CONGRESS ADDS '$1,500,000 T0 RELIEF FUND Both Houses Pass the Bill and Presidest Roosevelt Signs It WASHINGTON, April 23—The Sen- ate today Increased to $1,500,000 the second appropriation in behalf of the sufferers of the California earthquake, and this legislation, like that of the same character that has preceded fit, | was enacted without comment of any kind. Without debate the House con- curred in the Senate amendment and late tonight President Roosevelt signed the joint resolution. At a conference between the Presi- |dent and Senator Flint of California the President stated that agents were now in California on their way to in- vestigate Federal losses. The Govern- ment builldings at San Francisco, Sac- ramento, Oakland and San Jose will need repairs at least and one or two will have to be replaced. At the earli- est possible moment the President will recommend to Congress an appropria- tion to cover the losses. General Greely, in command at San Francisco, has telegraphed the War Department that within a week or! ten days, when the militia shall have been withdrawn, as is desired by Gov- ernor Pardee, Mayor Schmitz and the militiamen themselves, the force of regulars must be largely reinforced to preserve order and safeguard pub- lic interests, He says that, while 6000 regulars would not bé an‘exces- sive number, he belleves that half that number from outside his military ai- vision could 4~ the work. These should be regular cavalry owing to lack of transportation facllities. There are 2500 regulars now at San Fran- cisco. In another telegram General Greely praises the work of General Funston and the conduct of the people of San' Francisco and says that 5,000 people | bave left the city within the last twenty-four hours.

That thers will be no change in the present mode of handling’ the relief work was as good as assured yesterday when Dr. Edward Devine, sent here by the National Red Cross Assocla- tion, wired to the authorities at Wash- ington that he found the handling of the contributions excellently managed by the general committee of fifty citi- zens, working in harmony with the Federal military establishment.
