PASSENGERS ON ANCONA
DISEMBARK UNDER FIRE
Captain and First Officer Declare
Vessel Halted When ShelIed
by Submarine.

Ambassador Page has forwarded from
Rome to the State Department further
fragmentary reports on the torpedeine
of the Italian liner Ancona He trans
mitted statements of the captain and
first officer of the vessel Both de-
clared that. while the Ancona at first
made efforts to escape. she halted on
being shelled.' The firing did not cease
after the Ancona came to a stop, thew
said shells striking the ship while pas
sengers were being lowered into life
boats. None of the shells struck the
lifeboats.
This information is at variance with
affidavits and reports previously gath
cred. Officials said they did not regard
the evidence, thus far. as conclusive
and therefore would not give out de-
tails at this time.
Yesterdays dispatches Indicated there
was a panic aboard the Ancona when
she encountered the submarine and
that 1t would be difficult to get an ac-
curate account of what took place.

the children participated, picking UP

women held each others arms and
screamed threats; and gendarmes march
