Indemnity Doubtful.

Just as the circumstances OF the
sinking of the Ancona will determine
the gravity of the issue between the
two Governments, so it will affect the
interests of the heirs of Americans
lost with the vessel, in the opinion of
officials here. II is pointed out that
if the Ancona was torpedoed in viola
ton of international law, this Gov
ernment will demand indemnity for
the loss of American lives. On the
other hand, II 1t is shown that the
Austrian submarine complied with the
requirements Of international law, this
Government will have no ground upon
which to make demand for in
demnity.
At the Austrian Embassy emphasis
was laid on the press dispatches that
100 shots were fired at the Ancona.
An official of the Embassy said:
I'VE are not worried, because the
news dispatches indicate that the
Ancona attempted to escape"
Stopped, Then Sunk, is Claim.
"a submarine approached the An
coma toward noon," says a Tunis dis
patch, "and as soon as the steamer
saw it an attempt was made to escape
at full speed. The Ancona was over
taken and stopped. Then the sub
marines fired on the Ancona. sinking
her amid the desperate cries of the
passengers.
"The lifeboats were next attacked,
the submarine likewise firing on them.
A woman, a man and two children
were killed; their bodies are at

Washington. - About 27 Americans
are believed to have been lost with
the torpedoed Italian liner Ancona, ac'
cording to cable to the State Depart
ment from Ambassado? Page at Rome.
The Ambassador said the probable
victims of the tragedy were Alexander
Pattativo, his wife and four children,
Of New York; Mrs. Frances Mascolo
Lamur and about 20 unnamed third
class passengers.
Mrs. Cevil l.. Griel was named as
the one known American survivor
among the passengers.
Government Awaits Details.
The department cabled Ambassador
Page and all American consuls in the
vicinity of the tragedy for the details
of the sinking Of the vessel. 1t was
stated by officials that the gravity Of
the issue between the United States
and the Austrian Government would
depend entirely on the circumstances
of the case.
If the Ancona did not attempt to es-
cape, the United States undoubtedly
will send a protest similar to those
sent to Germany during the discus
sion Of the Lusitania case, and will
demand the same guarantees, as well
as disavowal and reparatlon.
On the other hand, if 1t is shown
that the Ancona actually tried to es-
cape and continued its efforts to get
away after being warned by the sub
marines, It is believed here that this
Government will not make an issue of
the case, even though Americans were
lost

ANCONA CHARGES
DENIED BY AUSTRIA
Declares Submarine Did Not
Fire Upon LitebOats.
As MINUTES TO LEAVE
Washinaton Still Withholds Details.
Uneaslness over Steamers De-
struction Continues In
Official Circles.

miraty officially announced that the
Italian steamship Ancona attempted to
escape at full speed after a warning
shot had been fired across her bow,
and that the vessel only stopped after
being shelled several times by an
Austrian submarine.
Given As Minutes To Leave.
The submarine commander It is fur
ther asserted allowed the Anconas
passengers and crew As minutes to
abandon ship. after which the vessel
was torpedoed, sinking three-quarters
of an hour later. The report that the
submarine fired on the lifeboats is
denied.
The statement issued by the Austro-
Hungarian Admiralty, after declaring
that the foreign press had spread false
rumors regarding the Ancona incident
says the sinking took place as follows:
"The submarine fred one shot in
front Of the Ancona's prov, whereupon
the steamer fled at full speed, in ac'
cordance with the order issued by the
Italian authorities, which instructs
ship commanders TO fee or to sink the
submarine. The submarine pursued
the steamer and continued firing, but
the vessel stopped only after being hit
several times.
Says Crew Took Boats.
"The submarine allowed As minutes
for the passengers and crew TO aban-
don the steamer on board Of which
panic reigned, but only a small num-
Der Of boats were lowered and these
were occupied principally by the crew.
"a great number Of boats, probably
sufficient to save all the passengers,
remained unoccupied.
after a period Of 80 minutes, and
as another steamer was approaching,
the submarine submerged and tor
pedoed the Ancona, which sank after
an additional as minutes.
"If any Of the passengers lost their
lives this was due TO the fault Of the
crew, because the steamer tried TO
escape after it had received orders to
stop, and then the crew saved only
themselves and not the passengers.
Reports published in the sforeign
press that the submarine fred on the
Ancona's lifeboats are mendacious in
ventions. When the steamer stopped
the submarine ceased firing"
