The Italian censor kept a rigid watcl
over all news dispatches regarding tn,
disaster and the correspondents hav.
considerable difficulty in telegraphin,
details.
Paris dispatches state that every,
thing Is being done by the French au'
thorities at Blzerta to aid the sur
yivors landed there. Bizerta is an i'm
portant French base on the Tunisiai
coast.
Among tine Ancona's passengers wa,

Berlin was quick to send word to thu
effect that the Ancona's destroyer wa
not d German submarine. The first des

The report sent out by the Stefan
News Agency of Rome. that 100 she'll
were fired into the .Ancona before tn,
fatal torpedo was launched, tends to sub
stantiate the theory that the liner trie'
10 escape. None OF the dispatches so ia
received says whether or not the line
was warned prior To the attack.
The news OF the tragedy was held u
by the British censor until Just bcfor
