which an explosion occurred yesterday
has shown that the disaster was far
beyond anything imagined last night
The number Of dead Is 25l. The orig.
inal report that only 200 men we're In
the mine at the time was due to a mis-.
understanding on the part OF the man.
ager. who thought that shaft of min.

dead bodies we're mangled beyond re-
cognition. Crowds OF women. who
have not slept since the explosion, still
surround the pit, awaiting news from
husbands and brothers. Exploration
OF the mine Is slow and difficult, owing
to the blocking OF the galleries with
dead horses.

these have probably been drowned. The

that it was thereafter impossible to navi-

to roll into her, she sank further and

BY others it is claimed that the shifting
of the passengers had nothing to do
with the accident. These allege that
she was torrlbly over crowded and con-

got into the heavy sea she simply went
over.
She blew her whistle and attracted at
