FOREIGN, g, DEATH IN A COAL MINE. London, Sept. 12.—'The full extent of the terrible disaster in the coal mine at Aber com yesterday, is now known. At half past two this morning, flooding the pit was commenced. At that hour the fire was within a short distance of the bottom of the shaft, and all hope of further rescues had to be abandoned. When this decision was an nounced to the relatives of the 251 men still in the pit, the scene was terrible be yond description. Thirteen additional bod ies of victims were recovered before the flooding of the pit began. The Abercorn colliery is the property of the Ebber Vale Steel, Iron & Coal Co., one of the largest iron and coal proprietors in South Wales. It is situated a few hundred yards from Abercorn railroad section of the Monmouthshire railroad. The pit, which is 330 yards deep, and one of the largest and best worked in the district, was yielding 1,000 tons of st?nm coal dailv. The ma chinery for winding, pumping and ventilla ting was of the best kind, and the use of safety lamps in the mine WM rigidly en forced. The cause of the explosion cannot even be surmised. Three detonations were successively heard on the surface. The frameworks and castings of the pit were thrown to the height of three hundred feet above the mouth of the shaft. The colliery employs upward of a thousand hands, of which 373, taking their turn or shift, went down at 11 o'clock in the morning. Twenty-one of the number came up at noon, up to which time nothing bad occurred to create suspicion of danger. At 12:10 p. m., aloud rumbling noise was heard quickly followed by a flash of fltme from the pit's mouth, and a column of smoke, dust and debris ascending high in the air. The ex plosion damaged the winding gear, thus de stroying the only means of communications with the men in the pit. As soon as the gearing could be repaired work ing patties were sent down the shaft and eighty-'.wo men and boys work ing within a few hundred yards of the shaft were rescued, but it became evident as attempts were made to advance into llic work tint little hope could be en tertained of any life surviving. About 400 yards from the botton of the shaft arc stables and here 14 horsts were found all dead. Beyond this the explorations could not go on account of the impurity of the air, and the prevalence of choak damp. Volunteer explorers succeeded in bringing out 10 or 12 men, very much bruised also seven dead bodies but it is feared that no others can be for the present got to in consequence of the fire extending and there remains no reasonable hope that any further lives will be saved. The whole district of Monmouth shire is much excited, and it seemed last night as if the eulire female population of the district had gathered about the mouth of the shaft. REGARDED AS A VICTORY. Constantinople, Sept. 12.—The Albarian insurgents have celebrated the massacre of Mehemet Ali Pasha as a victory. Agitation in Albaria is Increasing. Fresh outrages are apprehended, and christians are flowing into Montenegro. STOPPED 1SAKING. Constantinople, Sept. 12.—The bakers o^ Constantinople have discontinued the sale of bread because of the high price of wheat and depreciation of currency. The sultan thereupon remitted the grain tax, and he has appointed a committee to devise menns for retiring the paper currency. ASSUMING A BELIGERENT ATTITUDE. Constantinople, Sept. 12.—It is said the Russians at Kastendel, on the Black Sea, are again erecting batteries which they dismantled a month ago, and that orders for the drparture of Russian troops has been countermanded. BOSS GORTSCHAKOFF. London, Sept. 12.—Roumania has re served for a separate decision the questiun of occupying Dobrudscha, the population of which are reported intensely hostile to the Roumanians. The Austrians lost twenty officers and from six to seven hundred men, in the bnttle at Bayhaca, in killed and wounded. It is reported that the influence of Gort8chakofF is paramount at St. Peters burg, and that SchouvalofT has been released from office at his own request.
