C, Feb. 13.-A fright ful explosion occurred tod.iy In the Un ion Ci.al Mines owned by the Welling" ton Colliery Company of wnich Ja.me9 Dunsniulr, premier of the provlncv, W the principal shareholder, and it la be lieved that sixty miners pirlshed. The explosion ,ook place about It o'clock this forenoon In No. t Bhaft, one of the workings of a big coal mlna in.e. There were sixty men In'lt when the explosion took place and It Is feared that not one of them escaped. The explosion Ignited the mine, wrecking the ihaft frtm midway down t i th? bottom and filling It with a sol d macs of rocks, earth and timber. Tho first explosion was followed by several mere, while dense volumes of smok'3 i.isulng from vent holes indicated that die well a gas was doing its des tructive work below. As soon as practicable afUr the ac cident, men of the morning shift In No. 5 organized a rescue party. No, is situated about a mile from No. 8; but the two working are connected by a tunnel and through thi channel an attempt was made to reach the un f .rtunaie fellows In the wrecked shaft.

Overcome at last by gas and smoke, they withdrew from No. 5 and com ne-nced work on a long cut from N. 4. the only other means of rescuing the men. A tecond explosion occurred In No. 5 shift tonight, but it had been expected and all the men had left the workings. There were no casualties. This explo sion prevents any iurther efforts being made to rescue the entombed miners through No. 5 shaft. The only way la which any of them could escape would be by reaching some remote portion of the workings to which the fatal gases and smoke could not penetrate. The gas of a coal mine does Its work in a few minutes, hence the hopeiessr.esa'of the task of saving men who had been in it for hours. The last report of the Inspector of mines pronounces the shaft as comply ing with the regulations governing coat nines. ROERS OCCUPY MURRAYSRURG. CAPE TOWN. Feb. 15.
