Secretary L a n S IN g
Announces S ending
Of Note to Austria
Text to Be Given out
Wednesday Following
Receipt by Austrians

Washington, Dec. 22.-Secretary Lam
sing announced today that the second
American note to Austria on the sinking
of the steamship Ancona had gone for
ward yesterday and would reach Vienna
tomorrow night While Mr.. Lansing gave
no intimation OF its contents. the note
is understood TO be . virtual reiterauon
of the original American demands, with
the implication that it is the United
States last word on the subject.
The text of the note will be issued foi
publication in newspapers Wednesday
afternoon. Mr.. Lansing said
The names Of l. Americans said TO have
been on the Ancona when she was torpe-
doed were received today by the state de-
partment from Ambassador Page at
Rome.
The cablegram reads as follows:
Twelve Americans known TO be aboard

Carmelia. second cabin, bearing Ameri-
can passports 1850 and POST; and third

survive. namely. Mrs. Greil who left
Rome 10 sail today from Bordeaux by
steamer Rochambeau; Joseph Torrisi in
hospital at Ferryville. Tunisia. and 1r-
lando Fotalivo."
The note is about 600 words long and,
although characterized by those acqua'nt-
ed with its wording as firm in tone, is
said to be somewhat less sharp than tbs
first note in the tenor Of its demands.
1t is based squarely, according TO these
officials, on the Austrian admiralty's own
version of the Ancona sinking and while
reference is made to American victims
and survivors, the reference is said to be
more incidental than direct.
