The Arizona COllides with an.
Unknown Vessel.
Not a Cry from the Latter's
Decks as She Disappears.

che Disaster Causes a Panic Among the
Sleeping Passengers of tho Arizona.
Many of Whom Feared the Vessel
Would Sink, Although She Was Not
Seriously Damagod--A Mystery of the
Sea.
QUEENSTOWN, Sept. 15.-The Onion
steamship Arizona left New York at 0
n. m. on Sept 5, and arrived here at Q
o. III. Sunday. Passengers wha landed
tell this story:
Between midnight and q. m. ON
Sept. the Arizona was enveloped by a
dense fog. There was light wind
from the south, but very little sea, She
was making twenty knots an hour
While the lookout was straining his
eyes in vain endeavor to pierce the
darkness ahead, all unknown vessel
struck the Arizona's port-quarter,
smashing hfeboat in pieces, staving in
the iron plates to four feet above the
water line, damaging the decl.s and car
rying away forty feet of rAGag.
Two shocks were felt and subsequent
examination showed that the unknown
vessel first struck the Arizona's port
quarter stem, then swung around and
struck her again with her stern hun
dred feet aft, where the greater damage
was DONE The unhmown's jibboom was
broken off and left upon the Arizona's
deck.
The passengers were awakened by the
shock, and many rushed on deck partially
dressed. The officers were unable to
tell how serious the Arizona had been
injured, ana supplied women with life
belts as rapidly as possible.
Intense excitement prevailed until the
officers said there was no danger, and
Captain Brooks, who was on the bridge,
ordered the passengers to go below.
This announcement had hardly been
made when dim light was seen ahead,
and fear of another collision created q
second panic.
But the light disappeared as quickly as
it came, and that was the last seen of
the strange vessel, which the officers
think was q large American coasting
schooner flying light"
Twenty minutes search and continued
blowing Of the fog horn and steam
whistles revealed no trace of the un-
known vessel. She probably sank.

SEARCHING FOR BALMAcEDA.

Chili's Fugitive President Thought to BE
Hiding in a Santiago E%lnastery.
VALPARAISO, Sept 15.-The police
authorities are still prosecutin.axA igor
GUS search throughout Santa @'GOr the
fugitive ex-President Balmaceda. 1t is
now the general belief that heis in hiding
in some of the monasteries. Some of
these institutions have already been Wis
tied by the police, but so far no trace of
Balmaceda has been discovered. In spite
of this fact rumors gain ground that he
has found protection under clerical
wings.
Somebody Has Lied.
The German minister to Chill has
made public denial here of the cable
to the New York Herald in which it
was said that he had ordered the ad-
miral of the German warship Leipsic to
surrender political refugees, but the
admiral had declined to do so, calling
on the Germ" emperor for the approval
of his action. and that the emperor had
cabled back SUSTAINING the admiral.
The correspondent reaG.ruis the truth of
his statement and challenges proof to
the contrary. 1t is said the German
minister IN; yht try to explain another
while he is about it.
His recent conduct in permitting the
removal of Balmacedas minister of war,
Valasquez, from the German legation to
prison is generally condemned and has
provoked much adverse criticism from
even the warmest partisans of the
junta's cause. President Jorge Montt
himself, upon learning the particulars
of the strange case, ordered that Senor
Valasquez should be returned to the
legation, and declared that his removal
and imprisonment were violation of
the sanctity of the legation. Senior
Months magnanimous conduct is in
marked contrast to the action of the
German minister.
Thanks for Admiral Brown.
Senior Ordnez the Spanish minister to
this country, has rendered the thanks Of
himself, his country and the Spanish
residents of Chill to Admiral Brown, of
the United States flagship San Fran
cisco, for his offers of protection to the
ministers and his countrymen during the
recent troubles.
The First to Recognize EN-.
The foreign ministers are much chag-
rined at the promptitude displayed by
Minister Egan In scoring point IN be-
half of the United States in recognizing
the iunta's authority over any other ma
ton.
Rendered Valuable Aid.
The ambulance service has rendered
testimonial to Passed Assistant Surgeon
Edgar, of the United States steamship
San Francisco Edward Stitt, of the Bal
timore, and the two juior ministers of
the same vessels for their valuable aid in
behalf of the injured in the recent con-
flicts.

to have been active supporters Of Balma-
ceda, as well as those who were guilty

which have been characteristic of form

and where, in all other former produc-

that the play offers in itself many oppor-

hailed as an ovation. The famous Flyers
