RECOVERING THE DEAD
I
Hearst International Press.
Priraero, Colo., Feb. 1.—The people
in the surrounding villages are re-
membering the Cherry, 111., disaster,
and are flocking here for the purpose
of loading their aid in rescuing the
miners imprisoned in the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Co.'s coal mines, the
result of an explosion whi i. took
place at 5 o'clock yesterday after-
noon while the men were still at
work. The rescuers are working
heroically in relays in an effort to
dig through the caved shaft in order
to reach the imprisoned men. At
daylight this morning twenty-seven
bodies were recovered after an all
night's jonstant work. The company
claims that there were but eighty
men at work in the mine at the time
of the explosion, which is unex
plained. The families of the impris-
oned men claim that there are fully

constantly growing thicker, and lie
became very sick, although he could
eee that the wliole mine was wrecked.
It was while in this ccndition that
lie was found by the rescuing party
and taken to the top of the shaft,
where he was given medical atten-
tion. But little hope of saving Ills
life is entertained.
Many of the bodies of the unfor-
tunate miners caught toy the eiplo
sion have been recovered but are
bo mutilated and blackened that none
of them can be identitied. There are
still seventy among the missing. The
rescue work has been made danger-
ous owiag to frequent cave-ins of
the mines. Two of the entries have
been explored and there remains
three more unexplored. It has been
discovered that the explosion wrecked

♦ | Paris, Feb. 1.—A coal famine has
developed at the Belgium mines,
which supplied fuel tor Paris before
the flood. It is said that the supply
has been exhausted and that, no
more coal can be had from there.
Two hundred thousand people ard
suffering from the cold and the au-
thorities have prohibited the building
of any fires in many of the districts.
This precaution is taken owing to
the water supply being cat off, or
very much crippled, and if a tiro
should break out in any part, of tho
city the entiro town would be swept
with no resistance from the fife de-
partment. Tho rlv®r is receding
slowly. The street levels are sinking
and houses are collapsing. White
the destruction of many of the build-
ings* seems inevitable, the engineers
are working manfully in an effort to
shore up tottering buildings by
strengthening the foundations until
they can be rebuilt, but the task
seems to be a hopeless one. TTiou
sands of sewer rats have been «lrl^en
from the sewers and they are attack-
ing the people. They are becoming
a menace to tho safely of those wno
have been driven from their homes.
After dark has enveloped the city
the Apaches commence looting, de-
spite the vigilance of the soldiers.
Their aim is to make the streets
unsafe and then accomplish their
dirty work on the unfortunate.
