MtiN'l'.;'ii:ii, tiruKuuy. August 24 In a driving rainstorm about six o'clock this morning the Argentina excursion steamer Colombia, and the North tiiTiiiiiti l.lovd steamer Hchle slan, collided at tlie entrance of Montevideo harbor. The Colombia was entering port and the Hchleolen was outward hound for Hremen. Th Columbia's how wan crushed In And she sank almost Immediately. H t wis n H.ii and 200 perso na were killed or drowned. The Colombia carried about two hundred passenger and a crew of forty-eight men. Most of the pas sengers were asleep nnd panic fol lowed the crush. Almost Immediate ly small bonis put nut to the sink ing sleaiu, hut the work of rescus w us rendered very difficult by the high sea. About seventy person were brought ashore. Most of the dead are women nnd children. A majority of the survivors are men. lining In Fetn. The Colombia whs ru trying excur sions from lUiciios Ay res to a festi val at Montevideo, nnd the disaster has caused the keenest emotion. Th. Uruguayan government In conse quence has postponed the fetes ar ranged for the celebration of the In auguration of the port. The Schleslen which was only slightly damaged, has been detained here by the port authorities. Her commander attributes the collision to the wind and the high sea which made both steamers almost unman ageable. The chiiiuinl Is now par tially obstructed by (he wreck of the Colombia.
