England is now passing through an era of accidents of tho most dreadful nature. Tho excitement and anguish caused by the sinking of the excur sion boat Princess Alice on the Thames has not subsideil to any appreciable degree when close upon it comes, to-night, the news of a terrible colliery accident in Wales. To the horrors of this new calamity England will awake in a fow hours. Tho disaster occur red yesterday afternoon at Ebbw Vale col liery, Abercarn, near Newport, in Mon mouthshire. There were 371 men in tho pit when tho explosion of coal gas occurred, and at tho latest accounts, dated nine o'clock last evening, only ninety miners had been res cued. It is feared there are no other sur vivors. Tho pit is still on fire and tho burning gas occasionally bursts out from the mouth of the ventilating shaft. Search parties have been ablo to penetrate only a fewyards into the main entrance to tho mine, where they encountered eighteen dead horses in the stables. Beyond this point tho fallen tim bers nnd the blazing wood-work and coal gas effectually bar tho way. This disaster is the most terrible that has ever occurred in Wales. The scenes at tho mouth of the pit aro indescribable. Frantic women who have relatives in tho mines aro kneeling about the shaft way calling hysteri cally for tho men who aro known to havo gone into the mine, but who answer not to their names. The last nine men rescued from the pit at about eight o'clock wcro bad ly burned, somo of them, indeed, terribly disfigured. Tho dead body of a boy, ono of tho drivers, has been recovered. There is hardly any hope entertained that more of the miners are yet alive, although it is assert ed that there is a distant partoftho pit in which refuge may have been found from tho flames. Tho poisonous gases, however, would soon penetrate even to the most dis tant placo of rcfugo and render breathing impossible. According to tho latest advices the pit is still burning, and the managers aro discuss ing the propriety of Hooding it, as it seems certain all tho men aro either burned to death or suffocated. Tho flooding will pro bably bo briefly delayed until the last hope that any aro alive is extinguished. Tno number of tho dead is estimated at twohun drcd and eighty. Two of tho rescued have since died from their burns. Others are in a precarious condition. There is not tho slightest hope of rescuing anymore nlivc,as the workings are very intricato and extend over three miles. So far only about seven corpses have been recovered. The explosion occurred soon after noon. Those on tho bank knew it by a rumbling noise and tho ascent of a dense volumo of smoke. All the peoploin tho district rushed to the pit mouth in consternation. Reverting to tho first of tho recent calam ities, 1 was informed to-night that 028 bod ies had been recovered from tho Princess Alieo and from the river. Cannon wcro fired over the Thames at Woolwich, yester day afternoon, to bring up corpses.
