Ancona Parleys
Will Be Resumed
Expected U. S. Will Regard
As Satisfactory Austria's
Disavowal Of Sinking.

State Department officials said yester-
day that negotiations with Austria-Hun-
gary for a settlement of the Ancona
case, broken off by the Persia sinking,
will be resumed at once.
This decision was reached after re-
ceipt Of unofficial advIces from Vienna
that Ambassador Penfield was forward
ing to Washington a note in which the
Austro-H Hungarian government dfsclaims
all responsibility for the Persia sinking.
The Penfeld cable had not reached the
department last night, but the unofficial
forecasts of its contents were accepted
as reliable.
Officials admitted that Austria's dis
claimer of responsibility following simi-
lar action by the German government
some days ago left the United States In
a position where it could do nothing fur
ther toward establishing responsibility
for the Persia sinking until affidavits OF
survivors and crew are received.
The reply of the United States govern
ment in the Aneona case, it is expected,
will accept as satisfactory the Austrian
governments disavowal and the expla-
nation that the commander of the sub
marine has been punished and will sux.
sest that the amount of indemnity to be
paid for American who lost their lives
or property when the Ancona sank shall
be fixed by diplomatic negotiation.
