DENV1fl Colo" , Feb. 27-A spcclal to
the Tlmcs from Cerrlos , N. : t. , says : Ono
of the most serious minIng accidents In the
hlsLoryof Now Mexico occurred at White Ash ,
three miles from here , this afternoon , when
nn explosion of gas wrecked the coal mIne
of the Santa Fe Halroall company. The
' , . entrance Is closed , nml as forty men arc In
- the mine n seems almost Impossible that
any can have escaped alive. Dense smoke
Is Issuing from the all shaft , IndicatIng the
interIor of the mine Is IJrnlng. Up to 2
o'clock no one has boon r.scucd , although
the body of ono man. a driver , has been
found at the mouth of the tunnel.
* A specIal Lo the Republican says : OwIng
to the smoke , dust and noxious vapor that
fled every aPllroach to the workIngs two
.3. 110urs ebpscd before any progress could
, be made toward efCeclng a rescue. and the
efforts were cruelly rewarded , for UII to 7
o'clocl but one miner had been reached. His
dead body was found near the entrnce ,
Three hours later the rescuers succeeded In
reachIng the len fourth level and the dead
bodies of several men were brought oul.
S The sight about the mine was heartrendIng
)
In the exLreme. FrantIc wives , many oC
them carrying babies In their arms and ha\'lns
children hanging to their skIrts , stood at the
entrance of the mine for hours , amid tears
and prayers , watching and waItIng . whie
hundreds of men vaInly u strucle _ u tn raIn nn
_ u _ _ _ _ _ ' " _ _
entrance further Into the mine. So dense
was the smoke at one tIme during the after-
; \ . noon that many thought the mine had taken
-
fire . and the conduct oC the wives and
mol her when this was announced as a proba-
blly was pitul In the exlreme Up to 5
o'cloclt the gas continued to pour forth from
the single ollenlng' In the mine In such
volume as to make the progress of the res-
cucrs very difficult . but an hour later tha
noxious vapors cleared away and the work of
recovering the dead bodies began 10 prove
moro successful Twenly-two men are still
. In the lower workings of the mine and It Is I
& ' not thought possible that they are alive. The
I 44 work of rescue goes on bravely.
SCENES AT THE SIAI T.
Many heroic scenes have been witnessed
during the afternoon , and tonight a gruesome
: spectacle Is presenled. Many campfires dot
: the scene and the ngulsh of the women
and children hovering about them , hoping for
the best and urging the men on In their
endeavors to reach the entombed , while
others are clinging 10 their dead or minis-
tering 10 those brought out alive , presents
n picture of human anguish seldom witnessed.
I Is thought the explosion was caused by
the mIners brealtnS through into some old
abandoned working , thus liberating the gas
that had accumulaLed. The mine was
worlled through a single incline shaft exlend-
f lag 3,000 feet In at an incline of thirty degrees ,
nll seems to have been defective as respects
ventilation. The mouth of the shaft Is
the sole means of egress. Nobody seems I
know just how many men went Into the mine
this morning. OrdInarily 160 men arc em-
ployed , but this beIng Wedncs ay I Is said
scarcely hal the usual quota of men were at
vorle. Representative I.aeden , lately employed .
ployed there , says tonight that he Is confident -
dent that not less than eight-live men must
have been In the worlllnb" at the time of
the explosion 'he latest reports from the
scene by telephone are that twenty-Lwo dead
bodies have thus far been recovered.
A special to the noclty Mountain News
< I from Cerlos , N. M. , sayn : Up to 10 p. m. ,
twenty-five bodies have bc-n taken out horrl- ,
bly burned and mutilated , and difficult of
Identification. One of the rescued , John
Stuhihesfdlt. says that hD heard the explosion
end himsel and lire comrades started for the
maul slope , but could not get out , and retreated -
treated back Into the mine to u pool of water ,
where they Immersed themselves , and by ag-
fluting the water managed Lo get all enough
to live al for foul hours of their confinement ,
but when the resrulng IlarLy reached them
they were In the last stages of abllhrxlatol.
The namE of the drIver who was killed at
the mouth of the tunnel Is John Dolt , a by

WASHINGTON , Feb. 27.-Postmaster General -
eral BIssel hate this afternoon placed his
resignation as a member ot the cablnent
in the hands of Predent ! Cleveland , to be
accepted upon the Ippolntment of hIs suc-
ccssor , Though the rumor of the
coming retirement of Mr. I1cl have
been rite for some time , the of-
fidel announctment , when It was made this
evening caused something of a sensation.
The statements whIch have been made that
a disagreement between the llre'shlent anti
Mr. Bssel caused the resignation were known
by almost all In official circles 10 bo without
lie slightest foundation amI therefore the
usual Interest and gossip which usually attaches -
laches La Chic retirement of a member of a
cabinet was entirely hacking In this case ,
as Il was conceded b ) all hint only the
personl desire at Mr. Issel to resume his
lucrative law practice actuated him In taking
the step which he did. An Associated press
reporter called upon him and In rellly 10
questions , Mr. Bssel sall :
"I have placed my resignation In lie
halHls of lie Ilresideut. The reason for so
doing Is that m ) professional work iL home
Icmands my attention ant I feel that I can- .
not longer remain away from it. 'fhe busi-
ness of the department Is In good condition
and Is transfer to my SUccessor C1n be m1de
without affecting the publc service. I have
found my worlt agreeable , alhough at times
quite ont ous. I confess I Icave It with
regret , because I have become deeply Inler-
estll In 1 amI hind a dslre to nceotnphls'n
somethIng lucre lu the development of the
postal srlce Ihan J have found possIble In
these Iwo years of efort , I deeply regret
also thai I am thus compelcd to sever 0111-
clal relations wllh Chic president anti ! the cJbl- !
net , which have been most satisfactory and
cordial throughout.
"Perhaps without impropriety I may now
say t'lat all rumors oC dlsagrecments be-
tween the president ant any of his cabinet
have been wlhout foundation. I doubt I
there ever was a moro harmonious cabinet
than the present one , and Its members are
a unit In support of the president on every
public qucstion. "
Everywhere were heard sincere expressions
of regret at :11 IJiselh's retrement ,
HEGnrTS AT TIlE WHTE HOUSE.
At the white house the presldont salll : "I
surely Is not necessary for mc to say that I
shall release Mr. Bissell wih the utmost
regrel. All of his associates In the almln-
Istrton will feel that they have lost a
colleague who. In all respects , was a valu-
able factor In their executive labors as wcl
as a companIon to whom they have become
greatly attached. I am not taken by sur-
Iwlse for I have known for soma ( line that
It was inevitable , because Mr. Dssel's reasons -
sons for his acton were of a personal nature'
anti were Inexorable. Still this first break
In the cahlnet which has been , In the midst
ot many perplexing sluaton . entirely har-
monlol . all being actuated by loyal devo-
ton to tho. publc In this , and pervade In a
marked degree by the personal attachments
which such connections cannot fail to crc-
ate , causes us all real sorrow. Much grt- !
tcaton awaits Mr. Dssel In the appr.oa- :
ton ( of hIs countrymen of his splendid all :
, 'ahl'ble public service. "
Thcugh In Ito department and congressional
circles tile all was filled with names of possible -
sible candidates to succeed Mr. Bissel , from
stales ranging from lie Atlantic to the Pa-
chile and to Florida on the ruth , still Cite
feeling was uppermst among men In official !
life that the president would reward In some
way the untiring devotion of Congressman
Wilson of West Virginia to the administration
throughout tll congress. Tonight they saId
this cpporLunlLy ( had : arrivej and It can be
stated that , unlEss the preDldent changes his
mind , Mr. Wilson's name will go 10 the
senate tomorrow as the successor ot Mr.

will be honored by an immediate confrmton
