Thruout the night Aguas Prieta was

SHARP NOTE 70 AUSTRIA.
Secrstary lansing Asks Oisavowal ans
Indemnity IN Ancona Case,

Secretary Lansing Asks Disavowal and
Indemnity IL Aneona Case.
Washington, Dec 9.-The United
States has sent to- Austria Hungary a
note asking for q disavowal OF the
submarine attack upon the Italian
liner Ancona, assurances that such an
act will not be repeated. some degree
OF punishment for the commander OF
the submarine and reparation for the
American lives lost.
The communication started by cable
Tuesday from the state department
to Ambassador Frederick c. Pentield
at Vienna, who was instructed to hand
1t to the Austro-Hungarian minister
Of foreign affairs, Baron Burian.
Word of the delivery of the note had
not been received by the department
Wednesday night.
Friendly but firm terms, it is said
characterize the document, which is
understood to make a particular point
OF prompt assurances for the future
safety Of American lives. Austria
Hungary has never informed the
United States whether the command
ers of it's submarines had been given
instructions similar to those which the
German government gave to it's com
manders after the Lusitania tragedy
1t is understood that the note referred
particularly to the charge that sneIs
from the submarine killedsor wounded
some passengers ON the Ancona after
she had halted and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION on that point
Approved by Wilson.
In dispatching the note Secretary
Lansing acted with the approval OF
and after consulting with President
Wilson. It is stated authoritatively
that the document, which Is described
as being comparatively brief and de-
cidedly vigorous in tone, was so drafted
rs to attempt settlement of the
controversy ut once, without bringing
on series Of communications such
as followed the sinking of the Lusi-
tania.
High officials are said to be Of the
opinion that the situation is one which
calls for grave consideration, the state
of affairs having become NOR compli-
Gated since the note was dispatched
by reports Of attacks on American oil
Carrying vessels in the Mediterranean,
presumably by Austrian submarines.
Dispatch Iss Unexpected.

partment early IN the week being that
