REPLY GIVEN TO pENFII:I.D
IN VIENNA ON TUESDAY

LONDON, December i6.-The reply
OF the Austro-llungal government
To the note from the United States
relative to the sinking OF the steamer
Ancona by an Austrian submarine was
handed to Frederic &. penficld. United
States ambassador at Vienna on Tues
day. according TO Il dispatch from Am
sterdam to Reuters Telegram Com
pany. The correspondent quotes from
the reply as followS
THE note says that from the sharp
ness with which the government of the
United states believes il ought to CEN
sure the commander OF the submarine
and from the iirmncss with which the
demands addressed to the Austro- Hun
garian government appear to have been
brought forward, il could be expected
that the American government would
clearly give the actual circumstances
upon which ii relies. AS can b.. easily
recognized the representation of the
circumstances contained in the note
allows numerous doubts and gives not
at all sufficient reasons for blaming
the commander Of the submarine and
the Austro- hungarian government,
even " the representation proves cor
rect in all points and Judgment in the
case is based OH the most rigorous
legal interpretation.
The American government also
omitted to indicate the persons TO
whose statements it refers and 10
whom it apparently believes it must
attrihr'" higher degree OF trust
worthiness than to commander of
the imperial royal navy.
PREPARED TO BEGIN
EXCHA NGES or OPINION
AS to the number. names and tho
American citizens who in the critical
toned steamer the note does not give
any explanation. But, in view of the
fact that the Washington Cabinet now
has given a positive declaration that at
the aforementioned incident subjects
OF the United States came to grief the
Austro- hungarian government in pr,n
oiplc is prepared to enter into an ex-
change OF opinion with the American
government. But in the first instance
II must raise the question OF why this
government rcfrained from judiciallv
motivating the demands stated In ,,s
note with regard to the special cir
cumstances Of the discriminating Incl.
dent, which are especially pointed out
by the American government, and in
the place of such motivation mentioned
an exchange OF correspondence which
u; had with another government about
another affair.
The Aus,ro hungarian government
is the lessraoVc to follow the Washing,
ton cabinft in this Unusual attitude, as
1t In no Eay possesses n knowledge OF
all the lcorrespondence having refer
