Vienna, Dec IA, by courier to
Berlin, via London, Dec. 15.-The
Austro- Hungarian admiralty is en-
tirely opposed to any dsiayowal Of
the course of the submarine COM
mander who was responsible for the
sinking of the Italian steamer An

his conduct fully and declared that
he would have been considered as
having failed to perform his duty
if he had allowed the Ancona to
escape.
The reply to the American note,
it is understood, will be delivered
soon, possibly Wednesday. The cor
respondent of the Associated Press
has not been able to obtain fore
cast of the terms of the reply, but
all indications are that a pessimis-
tic view of the situation is justified.
