Paris, March Io.--A terrible catastro-

eighteen miles from Bethune.
An explosion Of gas killed many min
ers and the chambers of the mine are
on fire. s.,
The number of victims is not known
but 1900 miners descended into the pit
this morning.

this morning. The first reports which
reached the ministry of public works an
rlounced that it was impossible to cal
culate even approximately the number
of victims but it was hoped that most
of the miners had sought refuge in the
lateral galleries. In the three chambers
in. which the explosion took place the
violence of the fire was such that the
flames issued from the mouth of the
pit.
Later it was announced that the ex-
plosion occurred in pits II and ID
and that the flames spread to all OF the
communicating pits embracing Mere
court, Coren and lens. The num-
Der Of victims is undoubtedly consid-
cradle but it is not possible at the pres
ent to ascertain how many miners sue
ceeded in reaching the galleries, which
are still closed.
A dispatch from Lens says that ru-
NOR is in. circulation there that over
thousand men have been killed. This
