Southampton. Oct. 25.-The collision
between the steamship Paris. Capt.
Watkins, which arrived here last night
from New York. and an unknown ship
which sunk soon afterwards, as cabled,

tween l:so and two a. m. Wednesday,

as possible the Paris was put about and
search made for the ship. which. al
though sighted for a moment. disap-
reared before n lifeboat could be low
cred, and nothing more was seen OF It,

ship until daylight. The liner was even
tualy compelled to proceed for this port
without having sighted the wrecked
vessel again or having saved any OF
the crew.

dered soon after the collision. The Paris
was little injured When she arrived
here IL was reported that the vessel with
which the Paris collided showed a sig
nal OF distress after the collision and
screams were heard aboard her. She
