HAY MAY MEDIATE Suspected Purpose of Hay’s Eu ropean Trip. OPINIONS OF THE DIPLOMATS S IN K A T D O C K S . Damage to Ocean Liners in Collision Worse Than Thought. Halifax, N. S., March 28.— The two ocean steamers, the Parisian and the Albano, whose 1,800 passengers were saved from possible death at sea after the collission between the two vessels off the harbor’s mouth yesterday by a thrilling 15-mile race for shallow water, showed plainly today how serious was the accident, the Parisian resting on the bottom at her dock and the Al- bano’s ’fore peak being full of water. The Parisan, which came up the har bor at 0 o ’clock last night with a gap ing hole in her starboard side from the Albano's sharp prow, filled gradually during the night, and at dawn her engine room had been flooded, her fires extinguished, her lower deck was awash and her keel resting in the mud. A large, part of her cargo is damaged by water, .but the bulk of the mail, consisting of 400 sacks, was recovered in good condition. The statements of the two command ers of the vessels as to the probable cause of the collision are conflicting, and the courts will be invoked to place the responsibility. Proceedings have been begun in the Admiralty court against the HamburgAmerican com pany, owners of the Albano, and today that Bteamer was libelled for $150,000 damages in behalf of J. fi A Allan, owners of the Parisian. Later it was announced that a counter suit would be brought by the German company.
