Coal Dust in Tunnel Run ming Far Back into Noun tain Blows Up and Men il4 Lower Level Are Almost Instantly Killed
RESCUE WORK
 PROGRESSES SLOWLY
Wives and Children of Dead Miners Crowd About the Mouth of Shaft, But Are Finally Persuaded to Re turn to Their Homes
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHl

NEWCASTLE. Colo. Dec. 16.-CoaI dust in a tunnel driven far back into the mountain blew up with a detona- tiCn like thousand cannon. Flame and smoke shot from the mouth of the mine and the whole mountain rocked as if from an earthquake
 Thirty eight men trapped by the explosion are dead tonight.
 The men in charge of the rescue work of the Vulcan mine of the Rocky Mountain Coal company here thus summarized the result of an eNplo- sion at 1O:2O o'clock this morning. Of the men in the mine forty were rescued alive from upper level No. ? The dead numbers thirty eight, including every man working in the lower level.
 Among the dead are L. L. Craw- ford, the mine foreman, and L. Wal ters a fire boss The victims Were married, and all but six or eight of them were Americans. most of them sons of ranchers and business men of New Castle and the surrounding country Throughout the afternoon and evening the work of bringing cut the bodies progressed slowly. Many bodies were mangled and burned by the blast which wrecked the mine. The wives and children of the victims crowded about the mouth Cf the mine and were hysteriCal in their grief. The miro officials per suaded as many of them as possible to go back to town where they could be cared for by friends and relatives
 Before sundOWn the entire mine was cleared of gas. and a thorough exploration convinced the rescuers tat there was no hope of finding any of the thirty-eight entOmbed men alive.
 The Vulcan mine is only about a year old. It was equipped with mo- dern safety devices It had been in spected by the state authorities only 6 few days ago. It is believed the explosion was caused by the accumu lltion of dust in the west portion of the mine where vTorI, had practically been abandoned
 Most of the dead were found in the east workings to which the explosion communicated
 This fall the emplOyes of the Nul- can mine were called out on strike by the United Mine Workers of America but some Of them had gone back to work The other victims of today's disaster were strikebreakers who had been employed to take the place of the idle men.
 Eighteen bodies had been recovered late tonight and seven others were located by the rescuers in the Vulcan mine.

No definite understanding acceptable to the Spaniards was devised.
 Two hundred moro refugees includ- ing Americans and Spaniards reached Among the arrivals vas Mr. Marion Lctcher, wife of the American consul in Chihuahua. Mrs. Letcher said if Villa prevented the consul from send ing cipher messages 10 Washington as reported by the refugees, she had not heard of it.
