MOUNTAIN TOP BLOWN OFF
Terrible Explosion in Mexican Mine Killed
Eishty.seven- Persons.

chihuahua, Mex, Feb. 9.-Word
has just reached here of one of the most
terrible mining disasters that ever oc-
CURED in Mexico. An explosion in
the San Andres mine, situated in re-.
mote locality of the Sierra Madres, in
the western part of the state of Du.
range, caused the death of 81 men,
women and children. and injured
many Others. The catastrophe was
due to the explosion OF several hundred
cases of dynamite, which was stored in
an underground cham Der of che mine.
Electric wires connecting with the
hoisting machinery passed through the
room in which this dynamite was
stored, and it is supposed that these
wires became crossed, thereby causing
fire which set off the dynamite.
All of the killed and injured were
located on the surf ace, most of them
occupying residences right over the
underground workings of the mine.
The explosion tore away the whole top
of the mountain on which the village
was located. and men, women and
children were blown into small pieces.
Among those who we're killed was Her.
man Luetzman, the superintendent of
the mine and all the members of his
family.
At the time of the explosion there
were several hundred miners at work
in the lower workings OF the mine,
and. strange to say, none of them were
seriously injured, although they were
all severely shocked by the terrific
force of the explosion. 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 destruction of the little viii
lage is indescribable. The work of
gathering up the fragments of the un-
fortunate victims OF the explosion scat
tered over the mountain was begun,
and they were placed together and
buried in one grave. But few of the
mangled remains were recognizable.
Summons were sent to neighborine
camps for surgeons to attend to the in
jured. and it was some time before
they arrived.
The San Andres mine is the most
celebrated silver mine in Mexico. 1t
is valued at $4,000, 900. 1t has pro.
duced many millions of dollars worth
of ore.

MORE MEN FOR KITCHENER
Reinforcements for the South African Armv-
Beers Held Up Natal Train,

London, Feb. 11.-Public attention
has again been turned toward South
Africa by the dispatch of reinforce.
ments and the publication of Lord
Roberts dispatches. Rumor has been
in circulation that Mr.. Chamberlai
had reconsidered his South African
policy. and was contemplating a found
table conference with John Morley and
Sir William Vernon Harcourt. and
the recall of Sir Alfred Miner.
Ihe appearance of the bubonic
plague at Cape Town seems likely to
add to the difficulties of tn, situation.
The authorities there have decided
upon a wholesale determination ot
rats. Should the disease spread, Il
will necessitate changes in the mill.
tary arrangements.
Today Sir Alfred Miner makes an.
other sarnest appeal to employers to
allow as many men as possible to en-.
roll in the colonial mounted defense
forces.
The Beers held up Natal mail train
near Vlakfontein. The few soldiers
on board exhausted their cartridges.
and the Beers then robbed the passen.
gers, afterwards allowing the train to
proceed.

Unil ed States transport Rawlins went
aground this morning on coral reef
near the wreck of the United States
collier Merrimac. She arrived at day-
break, intending to embark the troops
of the Tenth infantry for New York.
The pilot attempted to pass on the
wrong side of the Merrimac, and
struck the hidden reef hard. Three
powerful tugs pulled unsuccessfully all
the afternoon in the attempt to float
the ship. It will probably be necessary
to rig elaborate tackle before she can
be gotten off. She is in no danger,
