ONLY TWO AMERICANS
SAVED FROM ANCONA
Ambassador Page Finds That Six
Citizens of United States We're
IN Ro0rI

VII DOuIVs
Rome, Nov. 13 (via Paris, Nov. 1D.
So far as Thomas Nelson Page, the
American ambassador, has been able
to ascertain from official reports re-
ccived through the Italian government
and from the British consuls at Bizcr-
Ia and Tunis, the following, American
citizens were on the Acona:
DR.. Cncile l.. Grnil. Alexander Pat
tativo and his wife and four children,
Mrs. Francesca Mascolo Lamura, Pas
quale Laurina and Giuseppe Torrisi
and his wife. OF these only Mrs.
Grcil and Torrisi are among the sur
vivors.
The opinion Is expressed here that
it was the same submarine, proceed
ing from Gibraltar or from the Ae-
gean sea, that sank the Anconia and
the steamer Frenze. All the reports
agree that the submarine was about
200 feet long.
1t has been decided that the sur
vivors Of the disaster will be sent
back to Italy by the Italian consuls at
Bzcrta, Tunis and Malta.
