Famm. West Phalia. Germany. Nov l2.-There was an explosion of fire damp in the Radbod mine this morn- ing, which probably will result in very heavy loss of life
 Already twenty seven bodies have been brought to the surface and geo men are still underground In grave peril.
 Four hundred men were working fin the pit at the time of the disturbance. About seventy of them have been brought to the surface Of these q majority were more or less injured and one has since died. One hundred and fifty men are tn shaft Nc and 1t Is believed that they are all doomed. Reseuers arrived from all directions and the work of getting below was at once organized. These efforts, how ever. were attended with extreme dIf- fculty One of the shafts. together with Its elevator cage, has been com pletely burned out An improvised cage was sent down with a corps of rescuers who made heroic efforts to reach their comrades.
 At 1 o'clock the fire had made such headway that the reseuers had to be called back to give way to the fire fighters and the flames were still spreading.
 The vicinity os the mine was sur. rounded by police and the public was not permitted to approach. Despair ing scenes were witnessed among the crowds of relatives who gathered out side the police cordon.
 A total of thirty-five bodies were brought to the surface up to o'clock. Fifteen men who came up alive are seriously injured. No hope is enter. tained for the 300 men still below the ground.
 The violence of the explosion caused the walls of the galleries to fall In. A salvage corps armed with apparatus to supply each man with oxygen Is now endeayoring to penetrate the mine. These are the same men who went over to Courrieres, France, in March of 1906 and rendered such vain- able aid in the frlghtful mine disaster there
