On April 18, 1906, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported that the San Francisco fire situation was under control, food was available, and conditions for refugees were good. Mayor Schmitz urged caution in unstable buildings as city services were disrupted. In a separate report from 1913, the Eagle detailed Senator Chamberlain's resolution to abrogate the Hay-Pauncefote and Clayton-Bulwer treaties, which affected American shipping rights in the Panama Canal, emphasizing the need for legislative action to resolve international disputes.
"At 2 p.m. today the situation in San Francisco is that the fire has been checked everywhere and is completely under control. There is no scarcity of food at present..."
"Senator Chamberlain, a leader in the Senate of the free passage exponents, declared today that he considered abrogation of the treaty the easiest and quickest way to get to the bottom of the affair."
