COLLISION AT SEA.

Terrible Loss of Life by "a Collision Between
aSpenIsh Steamer and American Schooner
Suffering of the Survivors.
New YORK, Nov. 1.-The steamer
Humboldt, which arrived here from
Brazil, reports that she picked up some
of the crew of the Spanish steamer,
Viszcaya, which left New York Thurs
day and was sunk at night off Barne-
gat by an unknown vessel with which
she was in collision and which was also
sunk, but nothing is known of her capt
ain and crew.
The Humboldt received three officers
and eight of the crew of the steamer,
and it is supposed that the rest OF the
crew and the passengers, over seventy
persons, all told, were lost
The Humboldt sighted the wreck OF
the Viszcaya early next morning. Sew
eral persons were clinging to the rig
ging.
The chief officer, second officer, en-
gineer, surgeon and eight of the crew
were rescued. They say that the col
lision occurred at night and both ves-
sells sank in few moments after strik-
ing
The captain of the steamer was lost
as were also the fifteen passengers and
a part of the crew, seventy-one persons
in ell. The passengers included Cuban
millionaire, his wife and two children.
Nothing has been heard of the capt
ain or crew of the schooner and it is
supposed they were all lost
The rescued people say that the
schooner changed her course when
within a cables length of the steam
shin The schooner sank and within
Ave minutes the steamer went down.
The passengers were all below deck on
the steamer and that portion OF the
crew on the deck took to the masts
The viszcaya had seventy-seven in all
on board. All those saved were mem
hers of the crew.
