Heavy Toll of Lives
in Welsh Disaster
EXPLOSION THE CAUSE
No Hope for the 418 Men En-
tOmbed in Section Where
Catastrophe Occurred.

Cardiff, Wales, Oct 15.--More than
400 Welsh coal miners perished, it is
believed, from fire and afterdamp in
the Universal colliery near here.
A terrific explosion shattered the
works shortly after 931 men had de
scended the pit. About 500 men
were brought to the surface alive by
rescue parties and the managers OF
the mine then expressed the opinion
that there was no further hope for
those remaining below.
The rescued miners the members
of the lifesaving gangs and the Off
Cials Of the mine declared that they
could hold out no hope for those OF
the miners still below.
The men brought to the surface
were found on the east side of the
mine, where the ventilation remained
fairly good.
On the west side, where the ex-
plosion occurred, fire started and the
rescue parties were unable to make
any progress.
The officials of the mine found it
necessary to call detachment of po-
lice to keep back the women and chill
dren who crowded round the en-
frances in hopes of obtaining some
news of their relatives.
Most of the rescued men were suf-
fering from burns, shock or the ef-
fects of poisonous gases.
Explosion Arouses Inhabitants.
The day shift descended the shafts
in the cages at a. m. An hour after.
ward deafening report brought the
inhabitants in the vicinity of the mine
to the pit head where they found
the ventilating and hosting ma.
chinery at the top of the shafts had
been blown to atoms by an explosion
OF great violence.
A man who had been working sixty
feet away had been decapitated by
the force of the blast. Rescue parties
of miners belonging to the night
shift were soon on the scene making
preparations to enter the mine in an
endeavor to save their comrades.
The fiery reputation of the mine,
however, gave little hope that any of
those below could be rescued alive.
An entrance was found by way of
an adjacent shaft. On descending
the rescuing parties came across sew.
eral groups of men huddled together
in portions of the mine where the air
was still good BY noon they had
picked up and brought to the surface
500.
The same pit was the scene of an
explosion thirteen years ago when
12O miners lost their lives. Only one
of those below at that time was
rescued alive.
Colonel Pearson, chief inspector OF
the mines, in stating that 418 men
were still missing, added:
"The fire is in the intake airway
and everything is being done to cope
with 1t. We are hoping to the last.
