TWO SUBMARINES
 ATTACKED ANC0NA Officer of Italian Steamer Says One Submarine Fired on Steamer
 as Life Boats Were Filled

TUNIS, Nov. 12.-One of the off cers of the Italian steamer Ancona, who landed at Cape Bon, on the Gulf of Tunis, claims that there were two submarines in the attack upon the Ancona. He states that he was on the bridge at the time and that the ship was stopped by the captain after the first shot had been fired.
 The officer claims that the second submarine did not wait while the life boats were being lowered and that several of the boats which were filled with passengers were destroyed by the bursting shells. No Americans were in the boat which landed at Cape Bon and it is feared that they have perished.

DICTIONARY AGENT IS
 CAUGHT IN IOWA TOWN.

J. H. Phillips, who worked the Alaska coast towns last summer by representing himself as the agent of the Funk & Wagnalls' company, New York publishers, is reported by the company to have been apprehended at Council Bluff, Iowa, and has been taken to Des Moines where he was indicted by the grand jury on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses and for forgery.
 Phillips has engaged counsel to defend him and they have written to a number of Alaskans who subscrib- ed through him for the Funk & Wagnalls dictionary asking if the company has filled their orders. He is evidently trying to establish the fact that the company by delivery recognized him as their agent.
