A MINE HORROR.
Fire Breaks Out in the Fuente Col
liery in Mexico.
Twenty-Six Miners Are Said TO Have
Perished-PitifuI scenes About the
Mouth of the shaft - Re-
covering the Bodies.
AN AWFUL FATE.


EAGLE PASS, Tex, June 5.-Fire
broke out at o'clock p. m. Saturday
in the Fuente coal mine on the line of
the Mexican National railway, on the
banks of the Rio Escondhido river
About one-half of the miners were
working near the main tunnel and these
made their escape, leaving twenty-six
of their number to perish by the heat
and smoke and from the poisonous
gases, which spread like lightning to
every portion of the mines.
RECOVERING THE BODIES.
There are twenty-six chambers in the
mine, and the dead miners are supposed
to be well to the front of the mine. At
: II o'clock Sunday one body had been
recovered from the seventh chamber,
and shortly after another, fearfullv
scorched and blackened, was brought
to the surface. The tenth chamber has
been reached, and men with ropes
tied to their bodies, to effect
their rescue if overcome by heat
and smoke, are fighting their way to
where the bodies of their dead com
rades are lying. Superintendent George
Spence yeutured in too far and was
overcome by heat and smoke. He was
Frustrated, but was rescused. 1t is be-
ieved that tonight the mine viii be
cleared OF the heat and smoke. which
at present it is impossible to cope with,
and that all the bodies will be recov-
cred.
SAD SCENES.
ULarge numbers of the friends and
relatives of the unfortunate miners are
gathered at the mouth of the mine
mutely awaiting the recovery of the
bodies of their sons and husbands.
When a body is taken out there is
an outburst of grief, and look Of
quiet resignation and deep grief appears
upon every countenance. Hundreds of
people from Eagle Pass and Piedras
Negras have visited the scene, and the
smoke still issuing from the airshafts
impresses on all the folly of hoping any
of the men maybe taken out alive.
MANAGERS ARRESTED.
All the miners employed were Mexi-
cans and most of them leave destitute
families. 1t is reported that all the
parties responsible for the manage
ment of the mines have been placed I'M
der arrest pending an investigation of
the causes of the disaster. This is the
first great disaster in the history of coal
mining in Mexico.
