BRUSSELS, MAT 7.—A dreadful catastrophe, which public report
however exaggerated, occurred on Monday last about eleven o'clock
in the morning. It was an explosion of fire damp at Mons. The
workmen above ground were astonished at seeing a thick smoke
arise from the shaft, as they had not heard any explosion ; not
seeing any of the workmen come out, they gave notice to the direc.
tor, who immediately descended into the shalt with two other per.sons
on arriving at the bottom they found a number of men more
or less mutilated and burnt, but still alive, and a greater number
already dead. It was ascertained that ninety-four men had gone
down the shaft, of whom twenty-seven escaped uninjured ; twenty.
five were brought out mutilated and burnt, of whom two died im.
mediately, thirty-four were found dead, and it is certain that five
are still buried under the rubbish.
It appears certain from the testimony of the survivors, that the
disaster was caused by the imprudence of a workman who dis.
obeyed the chief orders which he had received. This workman has
escaped unhurt.
