THREE men RESCUED
Details OF the Mine Disaster
Were Meager--Concussion
OF the Explosion
Was Terrific.

Glenwood Springs, Colo. Sept. IT,
A frightful explosion occurred about
$3.50 o'clock last evening In the coal
mine Of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company at Spring Gulch, probably
resulting in the instant death Of all
the miners at the time engaged in
work, an estimate of 100 men.
The concussion Of the explosion
was terrific and the entire entry was
badly caved in.
Three men were rescued from neat
the entry soon after the explosion,
but they were SO frightfully mangled
as to be unrecognizable.
No definite information has yet
been received here as to the number
of men killed. but 1t is supposed that
the men at this mine work until 6
o'clock, except those who do contract
work, and in that event 1t Is thought
almost 100 hundred men must have
been in the mine at the time Of the
explosion.

Serve Out Their Terms.

Washington, Sept. 19.-It was stat
ed on excellent authority yesterday
that all members of the cabinet have
accepted the reappointment rendered
by President Roosevelt Tuesday. The
manner In which the president made
the tender rendered 1t impossible for
the members of the cabinet to take
any other course. as they already are
in the positions and cannot decline,
but must resign their places If they
desire to leave the cabinet.
More than this. they all believe in
the sincerity of the president in desir.
ing their services, and in return they
wish to assist him to the full extent
of their powers to carry out the poll
cies of former President Mckinley,
which Mr.. Roosevelt has adopted for
his administration.
