people demanded admission to see the
bodies, and even threatened to break
through the Gordon Of troops, who had
the greatest difficulty in keeping the
crowds from the pit. One man named
Silvestre succeeded in entering the
mine, but he never returned. Ii is be-
heved that he groped about inside until
be was overcome by the gases and per-
ished- 1t is reported that rescue
