Burglars recently broke into jewell
ry store in New York and stole among

After a time the vessel or capslzed wreck
was reported off tho starhoard bow, but
sight of I. was lost befare life boat could
be lowered Nothing further was seen,
though the Paris laid off and searched un-
til daylight. The steamer sustained no
damage beyond having portion of her
rail bent and two wirestays broken. Sail
ors on the Paris say the sailing vessel
showed signals OF distress after the col.
lision, and that screams were heard aboard
of her.
Ii is stated that a white light was seen
on board the ship three minutes before the
collision, but that no red or green light
WAS visible until after the steamer had
struck her. Captain Watkins declines to
mako any statement regarding the acci
