TO Apology.
Vienna. Dec. i6.-The Austr0-Hun

to any disavowal Of the course OF the
submarine commander who vas re-
sponstble Tor the; anking OF the italian
steamer Ancona On tho contrary. =
approves his conduct fully.

The admirdlfty stated itsz case and
the attitude OF the S.naval authorities as
folloWs:
"It is a submarine commanders duty
to make report to a designated base
an soon al possible and the commander
who sank the Ancona did this as soon
az he was within wireless distance Of
land. He made a supplementary report
1t; Pola and accompanied It with his
loc. No examination Of the crew was
held because the commanders report
was considered complete and there was
no reason to suppose that the crew
could add anything thereto.
$50 far az the commander is con-
cerned, his course is clear. The ad-
miralty has received his report and
sees no reason TO find any fault with
his course Of action.
Danger Of Ancena Eseaping.
'.If any such reason existed: that 10.
IL the admiralty had found that the
commander had done anything con-
trary to its instructions 1t would spon-
taneously institute an Investigation
against him without waiting for q de-
mand to come from q foreign govern
ment. It can happen that q commander
in heat Of battle deals contrary to in
structions but nothing Of the kind has
happened In this case
SIT appears clearly from his report
that his ship was in danger. Indeed,
in double danger, first from the fact
that an enemy boat was approaching
on line that threaten4d to cut off his
retreat and the enemy ahip and the An
coma could have established his radius
Of action and could have sent tor
pedo boat flotilla ON him and second.
there was danger OF the Ancona escap-
ing, which. according TO his instruc-
tions. was 70 be prevented in all cir
cumstances. Hence the conduct Of the
commander, much q theslo Of inno-
cent lives must be regretted and de-
plored, cannot be disapproved."
