VIENNA, Jan.25 All hope of rescuing the
men who are entombed by the explosion
of fire damp in the Fortschritt mine at
Dux, Bohemia, yesterday, has been
abandoned. AN investigation of the

is generally conceded that those who
were not killed by the explosion must
have been suffocated

is necessarily slow. Every effort will be
made to recover the bodies Of the dead.
Many pitiable and heart.rending scenes

doubt every man in the mine was dead

abled to escape without injury. Several
of them, however, delayed their fight in
order to save valuables and were com
PEELED to jump from the first balcony.

all directions, jumped into the water
from the rear of the hotel but was
rescued after being in the icy water a
short time. The only injuries sustained
were a few slight burns on the hands
and feet to several Of the guests.
The loss is estimated at 800, 600
