HIashinoton, Dec 22.--Tho state de pertinent today made public the text of it's second note to Austria on the sinking of tLe Ancona. reitelat ng it's original demands for disavoWal rep alation and punishment of the com ment!er Of the submarine. -t l -
 Reports from Vienna indicate that the note was delivered to the foreign office this afternoon. At the Austrian embassy here the view is taken that Austra's reply will not be delivered to this government until after the Christmas holidays.
 The ccnccnsus of opinion Ut the state department is that the reply of the Austrian government will he faV" ora ble, and that the danger of a break is considerably less now than a week ago. One reason for this belief is that the note is much nlilder iu tone than the first communications, and IS calculated to remove some of the lr- ritation felt by the Austrian govern ment.
 Austrian CoNvicts Himsels.
 The text of the note follows:
 "rhe government of the Unltec States has received the note oi your oxcellency, relative to the sinking o1 the Ancona, which was delivered al Vienna on December 15, 1915. and transmitted to Washington, and has given the note immediate and careful consideration.

This admission alone is, in the view of the government Of the United States, sufficient to IN upon the commander of the slbma- rine which fired the torpedo, the re sponsibility for having Wilfully Flolat'
