New York, Feb. S.-Major General

night. There We're about 200 gentle

cline for the following reasons: 1 adj

AWFUL CATASTROPHE
More Than Four Score Men, Wo.
men and Children Die in
Dynamite Blast.
MANY OTHERS TORN AND MANGLED
Dead Simply Blown to Shreds and
Fragments..A Frightful
Story.

st. Louis, Feb. S-A special to The
Globe Democrat from Chihuahua, Mex
leo, says: Word has just reached here
of one of the most terrible mining dis
asters that ever occurred in Mexico.
An explosion in the San Andree mine,
situated in a remote locality of the
Sierra Madres in the western part of
the state of Durango, caused the death
of eighty-seven men, women and chill
dren, and injured many others. The
catastrophe was due to the explosion
of several hundred cases of dynamite,
which was stored in an underground
chamber of the mine. Electric wires,
connecting with the hosting machin-
cry, passed through the room in which
this dynamite was stored, and it is
supposed that these wires became
crossed, thereby causing a fire which
set off the dynamite.
Victims Blown to Shreds.
All of the killed and injured Were
located on the surface, most of them
occupying residences Immediately
above the underground workings of
the mine. The explosion tore away
the whole top of the mountain, ON
winch the village or miners was To-
Gated, and men, women and children
were blown into small pieces. Among
those who were killed was Herman
Luetsman, the superintendent of the
mine, and all the members of his fam
ily.- At the time of the explosion there
We're several hundred miners at work
in the lower workings of the mine,
and strange to say none of them was
seriously injured, although they We're
all severely shocked by the terrific
force of the explosion.
Human Frag ments Buried Together.
They rushed to the surface through
one of the shafts that was not filed
with debris, and the sight that met
their eyes in the almost complete de-
struction of the little village is inde-
scribable. The work of gathering up
the fragments of the unfortunate vic
tins of the explosion scattered over
the mountain was begun, and they
We're placed together and buried in
one grave. But few of the mangled
remains were recognizable. Summons
was sent to neighboring camps for
Surgeons to attend the injured. and
it was some fine before this aid ar
rived. The San Adree mine is the
most celebrated silver mine in Mex
leo. 1t is valued at S20,000,0O0. 1t
has produced many millions of dollars
worth of 0ra
