A GREAT COAL mine DISASTER
OVER FOUR HUNDRED MINERS
ARE PROBABLY DEAD.
Explosion in Mine Near Cardiff,
Wales, Entombs 931 Miners-5oo
Taken Out Alive.

Cardiff, Wales.-A disaster, possibly
the greatest in the history of South
Wales coal fields, whose annals are
bristling with terrible catastrOphes,
occurred Tuesday through an eXplo-
sion in the Universal c0lliery near
Cardiff. Shortly after the day shift
of 931 men entered the mine an eX-
plosion shattered the works.
During the day and early in the
night about 500 miners were brought
to the surface alive.
After midnight the rescuing parties
began to get the fire under control
and at 2:30 Wednesday morning TWEEN
ty more men were found alive at the
bottom of the pit This gave hope
that others may be found, but there is
still probability that nearly 400 men
persisted.
Including the bodies recovered and
those killed at the pit head, the known
death roll numbers sixteen. Doctors
with oxygen and medicants descended
the shaft at an early hour Wednesday
morning. A crowd of 10000 distracted
persons surrounded the pit head all
night and another 5000 waited for
news at the Cardiff station.
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 explosion occurred, fire soon add
ed its terrorS and the rescue parties
were unable to work for hours.
Police were required to keep back
women and children who crowded
around the mine entrances in hopes
of obtaining news of kinsmen. Most
of the rescued men were suffering
burns, shocks or effects of poisonous
gases.

BIG GAMDOA Dixie RENT IN twain
President Wilson Presses Telegraph
Key in White House-Waters
Rush Through.

Washington-The momentary touch
of key by the president of the Unit
ed States Friday sent a flash of cleo
tricity through a continuous telegraph
and cable connection of 1000 miles,
setting off a gigantic blast of dyna-
mite which exploded the Gamboa dixie,
the last of the great physical barriers
to water communication in the canal.
It was an extraordinary feat OF teleg-
raphy, especially planned for the &C.
casion. At precisely o'clock Friday
afternoon President Wilson simply
closed a telegraph key at the White
House, sent the current overland and
under sea, and just a few seconds
later the explosion occurred.
While there were many celebrations
of the feat along the coast, there was
no ceremony in Washington, it being
the wish of Colonel Goethals that the
government await the actual opening
of the canal Besides the wreckage
of the Gamboa dixie, there are two
earth slides to be cleared away before
A few minutes before o'clock Chief
Operator E w. Smithers at the White
House talked to Galveston, Texas.
'Is the cable ready?" he inquired.
yes" came the answer, and soon
Galveston announced that PA" the
cable call for Panama City, was seen.
Rv agreament the ODpr9tOr at the
White House made four distinct dots
at twenty seconds before o'clock.
This gave the signal for the engineers
at the Gamboa dixie to be in readiness
for the flash. They waited twenty
seconds, and on the dot President VIII
son closed the key which sent the cur
rent into the dynamite apparatus.
There, it is all over" smiled the
president; "Gamboa is busted"
The president sent Colonel Goethals,
engineer of the canal, brief message
of congratulations and turned to those
about him, happy in the thrill of the
moment-for it brought anticipation
of the final step that will open to the
world a short waterways between the
Atlantic and Pacific-the dream OF
centuries.
Engineers now are looking forward
to the final dredging of the great ditch
with the hope that lighter draft YES
sells used by the diggers will be able
to pass through the entire canal in a
