u. S. Note FIRM
AUSTRIA'S PREPARATION FOR "5AR.
BAROUS, ABAORRENT DEED"
ASKED BY LANSING
INDEMNITY FOR AMERICANS
Reparation and Punishment of Under
sea Boats Captain Demanded
One Avenue Open for Retreat-Must
DiscIaim Act.

Washington, Dec. 10. - Austria
Hungary must yield to the demands of
the United States for satisfaction on
account of the sinking of the Italian
liner Ancona and the killing of Amer
leans or else face the likelihood Of a
break of diplomatic relations.
This is the Interpretation put by
Washington on the note which this
Government has sent to Austria and
which was made public here.
The communication is characterized
by a tone of severity and .bluntness
never before used by the United
States in its correspondence with the
belligerents in the present war.
A demand is made for the following
satisfactions:
/. Denuncation of the act.
2. Punishment of the submarine
Commander who was responsible.
8. Reparation by the payment Of
money indemnity.
The note explicitly prescribes the
form of the denunciation. Austria
must "denounce" it as ian illegal and
indefensible act"
Part That May Hurt
This is the vital paragraph in the
note:
AS the good relations of the two
countries must rest upon COM
mon regard for law and humanity,
the Government of the United
States cannot be expected to do
otherwise than to demand that
the Imperial and Royal Govern
ment denounce the sinking of the
Ancona as an Illegal and indefen-
sible act, that the officer who
perpetrated the deed be punish
ed and that reparation by the pay
ment Of an indemnity be made for
the citizens of the United States
who were killed or injured by the
attack on the vessel.
Throughout the note has an abrupt
ness of expression which has surpris.
ed official and diplomatic circles de,
spite the fact that for five days it has
been known generally that the com
munication was a severe one.
Not the least significant feature of
it is the employment of the term ode.
mands." so rarely used in diplomatic
correspondence.
"Inhuman," "barbarous," "abhor.
rent" "wanton slaughter" Outrage"
are some of the other expressions that
stand out in the note.
Yet the United States leaves a way
open for Austria for graceful retreat
if the dual monarchy desires to accept
it. This Government points out that
it prefers to believe" that the subma-
rine commander acted contrary to in.
structions rather than accept the only
other alternative that the Imperial
and Royal Government failed to issue
instructions TO the commanders of its
submarines in accordance with the
laws of nations and the principles Of
humanity"

FEAR WRECKED CREW LOST
Landed on Island of Miquelon, But
Were Shelterless in Blizzard

St. Johns, N F, Dec. 13.-Fears
were expressed that 20 men OF the
crew of the British steamer st. Kilda
wrecked on the ledge of the west
coast of the French Island of Miquelon
had persisted from exposure during the
blizzard. These men escaped from
the wreck and landed on the cliffs,
but it is believed that they could OBJ
tain little, if any, shelter. No word
has been received from them, the YES
sells sent to their rescue have been
forced back to port by the gale.
The cabin-boy was lost when the
steamer struck. Six of the crew bray
ed the storm in a small boat, and man
aged to reach the harbor of St Pierre.
The St Kilda, of 1000 tons burden,
left Sydney on December s, with a
cargo of coal for this port.

The fire burned itself out late at
night. The big explosives plant
escaped damage The fire caused no
loss of life
A rough element began the footing
of the ruins. Citizens early in the
afternoon had established armed
guards, but these were powerless to
maintain order Appeals were made
to Governor Stuart to send the mill
tia, and orders were issued at once
dispatching several companies to the
town Citizens of the town just after
nightfall detected a negro in the act
Of loOting He was hanged just as a
special train carrying the Richmond
Light Infantry Blues, under command
of Major f. W BOwles, and two com
panies of the Richmond Grays, under
command Of Major Fulmer Bright
reached the town.
The negro was found carrying off
clothing from pile in front of burn
ing store. He was seized at once by
a party of citizens and hurried into a
side street, After a moments con
sultation a rope was placed about his
neck and he was hanged to a tree.
The property loss is estimated at
100000.
No boom town Of the western min

roomed in few months from a quiet
hamlet on a Virginia plain to a roar.

wholly a product of the war, where
fortunes are made IN the carefully
guarded mills.
Everywhere among the ruins after
the fire was under control, lawyers,
doctors, business men and laborers
were sitting on the goods they man
aged to save, with rifles across their
knees or guns at their belts.
