Ps. aledo, O, r ANOTHER DISASTER SIXTY-NIGHT MINERS WERE RILLFD IN MEXICO. Explosion Caused by Ignition of Gas .. From Cigarette--Meh in Upper Levels Were Uninjured. Laredo, Texas, Feb. 3.--One of the greatest disasters in the history of Mexican coal mining took place, yes terday, in the Palau mine, at Las E eranzas, Mexico. A ing to latest reports from the mine, sixty- eight lives are known to have been lost. After the official report showin fifty-three dead, twelve addition lies were recovered, bringing the to- tal up to sixty-five, while three others have died in the hospital. The explosion occurred in No. 3 shaft the coal mine of the Es ining company, and is aifrtbuted to the ignition of. gop from the cigarette of a miner, who Was smoking, con- {trary to the rules. The miners, principally Mexicans and Japanese, had assumed their places in the workings shortly alter seven o'clock. About 8.30 o'clock those at work above ground heard a loud ex- plosion and almost instantly a eloud of dust and smoke shot from the mouth of the shaft. As soon as the air in the shaft could be purified sufficiently to permit resou- ers to descend, many volunteers were ready to risk their lives in an en- deavor to succor their stricken broth- ers below, Three cages were sent down, The first and second levels were intact, and, beyond being frightened, the men working in these levels were safe. They were brought to the top as rapidly as the cages could be loaded. The rescue party went down to the third level, and as soon as the air could be sufficiently cleared, entered the various shafts and began a search for the dead. Scattered about! in various positions of the workings, they found the bodies of men, suffocated. After six hours' work fifty-three bodies were brought to the surface, while nearly forty in- jured were removed to hospitals. The injured owe their escape to the fact that they were working at points in the third stage of the workings, where they were practically protected from the rush of foul air. As the bodies were brought to the surface screaming women and children were congregated about the mouth of the shaft. Many heart-rending scenes were enacted as the bodies were brought up from the shaft and streteh- ed out in rows upon the ground to await identification, Most of the killed were Mexicans, the Japanese miners being employed n other parts of the mine, The mining company's officials Jost no time in providing money and food for the suffering families. The Palan is ome of the best suuipped coal mines in the Republic of Mexico. It has an adequate ventilation system, is pro- vided with electric lights, and the mining officials are at a loss to ae- count for the presence of mine damp. ---------- Wellington Briefs, Wellington, Feb: 2.-~Clande Smith has been making al repairs to his dwelling.
