SECOND NOTE SENT TO VIENNA CLAIMS LINER TORPEDoED
 AFTER STOPPED.
DEBATE NOT NECESSARY
Rules of international Law So Clearly Violated Document Insists, U. s. Does Not Feel Called Upon to
 Debate With Them.

Washington.-Th United States contends, in it's second note to Aus tria, on the Ancona case, made pub lice here, that the official admission of the Austrian admiralty that tae liner was torpedoed after she had stopped and while passengers still were aboard, alone is sufficient for the American demand for disavowal, reparation and punishment of the sub marine commander.
 The note renews the demands of the United States and says the details to which Austria referred in it's reply to the first note are in no way essential to the discussion. It emphasizes the continuance of good relations depends upon the action of the Austrian gov ernment.
 Cable dispatches indicate that the note already has been delivered to the Austrian foreign office. The text of the note which Ambassador Penfeld was instructed to deliver to the Aus tro-Hungarian minister of foreign af. fairs reads as follows:
 "On November IS, 1915, Baron Zwiedenek, the charge d'affaires of the imperial and royal government at Washington transmitted to the De. partment of State a report of the Aus tro-Hungarian admiralty with regard to the sinking of the steamship An. coma, in which it was admitted that the vessel was torpedoed after her en- zines had been stopped and when pas sengers were still on board. This ad- mission alone is, in the view of the government of the United States, suf- the submarine which fired the torpe- do the responsibility for having will fully violated the recognized law of na. tions and entirely disregarded those humane principles which every belige- rent should observe in the conduct of war at sea.
 "The rules of international law and the principles of humanity which were thus wilfully violated by the com mander of the submarine have been so long and so universally recognized and are so manifest from the stand. point of right and justice that the gov. erment of the United States does not feel called upon to debate them and does not understand that the imperial and royal government questions or disputes them.
 The government of the United States therefore finds no other course open to it but to hold the imperial and royal government responsible for the act or it's naval commander and to renew the definite but respectful demands made in it's communication of the 9th of December, 1915. It sin cerely hopes that the foregoing state ment of it's position will enable the imperial and royal government to per ceive the justice of those demands and to comply with them in the same spirit of frankness and with the same con- cern for the good relations now exist ing between the United States and Austria-Hungary which prompted the government of the United States to make them.
