COLLISION At SEA.
The Cyphreres Goes Down After Hitti-a
the on Tank Steamer La FIsndre.

ST. JoHN's. n. f., Dec. 31.-Ahout noon to-
day a largo steamer entered this harbor with a
gaping cavity in her port quarter. and every
appearance OF collision. She proved to be La
Flandre. Dutch oil tank steamer. bound from
Antwerp for New FORK. In ballast, and seven
teen days out.
Yesterday morning about o'clock on the
east edge OF the Grand Banks, some 200 miles
of. she came Into collision with the steamship
Cyphrenes. for Liverpool from Savannah.
laden with cotton. Very few facts can be got
from the crew. The collision seems to be the
result OF negligent keeping OF watches
1t was Just at daybreak and som ewhat hazy.
The Cyphrenes had been stopped three hours
during the night, owing to fog. The two ships
met. the Cyphrenes crashing into La Frandre's
side. teescoping her own bow as far as the
anchor winch. The forward bulk Of the
Cyphrones was started and on the pumps be-
ing manned ten feet Of water was found in
the hold An Intellectual attempt was made to
cover the aperture with canvass Then the
boats were lowered and her crew. twenty
seven souls. pulled aboard La Flandre which
was lying to in case she might be needed.
On boarding the two Captains consulted. and
volunteer crew was solicited. They returned
to the Cyphrenese and made more complete
overhaul OF the ship. but found the engine
room bulkhend burst oren and the ship set
Ting down. They were compelled to leave
quickly. Her port compartments filed. and to
prevent her turning over the starboard ones
had to be flooded also. No ship constructed
as she is could survive the injuries she re-
celved. She sank In few minutes.
The La Flandre is cut down from water line
to keel on her port side just abaft the fore
mast and has her whole side strained. But
for fine weather she would not have reached
