An Atlantic Liner Run Into by a Large Three-Masted Scheoner-The Latter Vessel Believed to Have Been Sunk-Passengers on the Steamer Thrown From Their Berths-CollisiOn at Boston. QUEENSTOWN, Sept. 13.-The Guion liner Arizona, Captain Brooks, from New York September for Liverpool, arrived here to day in battered condition. The passengers report that at an early hour on Sunday, September 5, while the vessel was in 8 fog, but steaming rapidly, an un known sailing vessel, believed to be large coasting schooner, struck, stem on, the Arizona on the port quarter. The pas sengers, who were in bed at the time of the accident, were awakened by the shock and noise of the collision and all rushed on deck. It was seen that thirty feet of rail and lifeboat had been smashed, that the deck was damaged and that several plates had been bent. Owing to these ominous evidences of a collision, it was at first believed that the consequences of the accident were more serious than proved to be the case. The passengers were much alarmed and life-preservers were prepar- ed, but the fears of all were soon allayed. The Arizona for long time searched in vain for the unfortunate sailing vessel. A part of her bowsprit was left on the Arizona's deck. From wreck age seen, it is feared she foundered.
 One passenger makes the following state ments: After passing Sandy Hook we en- tered haze which later became dense fog. The fog horn was kept blowing. About Il p. m. @ loud report like the burst ing of boiler startled the passengers, who rushed on deck. The captain, who was on the bridge, ordered the engines reversed at full speed. He assured the passengers that the steamer was all right and ordered them below. Afterwards the officers stated that a three-masted ship had struck the Arizona on the port side almost amidships and dis appeared. The fog steam whistles and fog horn were kept going long after the col lision, but nothing was discovered. The steamers pumps were started, but no wa ter was found So violent was the col lision that passengers sleeping on the damaged side of the steamer were thrown from their berths.
