Washington Awaits News.

l formation concerning the sinking of the Italian liner Ancona by a sub- marine flying the Austrian flag was anxiously awaited today by officials of 1 the United States government. 1 Despatches containing little in formation other than that the ship had been sunk and that 270 of the | 482 persons aboard had been saved, received here early today, created a l sensation in official circles. Should it develop that Americans oboard lost their lives and that the steamer was torpedoed without warn ing, the American government prob | ably would demand of the Austrian government disavowal of the act, rep- aration and assurances that there will be no repetition of the incident. First Step or U. S. If administration officials decide that the matter is one calling for dip lomatic exchange the first step, prob ably would be to secure through ann bassadors Penfield at Vienna and Page at Rome, official information from the Austrian ano the Italian governments.
 Until such data Is received, no Il. Meanwhile officials would make no comment.
 Secretary Lansing indicated that the United States would for a reason able time await an official report of the sinking of the Ancona, but that if official word is not received within a reasonable time the department will inquire into the affair through the embassy at Rome
 No Request Made.
 Department officials said they had made no request of American Anl- bassador Page or of any consular of hcers They explained that as mat ter of duty the nearest American con- sular officer to Bizerta would make a report, especially if any American lives were lost. Dean B. Mason, con- sul at Algeria, Algiers. about 300 miles east of BiZerta, is the nearest American officer. He probably would go to Bizerta to make an investiga- tion should he learn that American lives were lost.
 Mrs. Lamura on Board.
 Two Italian-Americans sailed from Naples on the steamer Ancona accord ing to a despatch to the state depart ment today from Consul White One of them was Mrs. Francesca Masoola Lamura. Consul White cabled it was verbally reported in Naples 27O per- sons had been saved.
 Consul Whites despatch said the other lost American citizen was an in- fant child.

reason, it is believed the persons landed at Malta were taken there probably by a British ship.
 On Regular Course.
 The fact that, the larger number of survivors have been landed at Bizerta, east of Cape Bon, is taken by steam ship men here to indicate that the Ancona was on the regular course when sunk. This course, it was said, lies closer to the African coast than to that of Sardinia
 The local agents received numer- ous inquiries today from relatives and friends of persons said to be aboard the Ancona. Among those inquired for were MT: and Mrs. Garfield Jones, of Philadelphia and Mrs. Bissell, of Washington. At noon the line had not received any definite information, however, regarding passengers.
