' don, $3.50 p. mD-The follow
ing note dated December 30, in
answer to the American govern
mcnts demand concerning the
sinking of the Italian steamer
AncOua by an Austrian sub
marine, has been delivered to
Frederick g. Penfield, The Amer

"In answer to your very es-
teemed note No. 1907 of the 21st
instant, the subscriber has the
honor to lay tho following most
respectfully before his excel
loncy, the ambassador of the
United States Of America, Fred
crick Courtland PcnIield:

tons has II given numerous
proofs OF humanitarian senti-

toward neutral states, and it was

cipally a question Of humanity.
Hopes For Friendship.
The imperial and royal gov
ernmcnt can also substantially
concur i'm the principle expressed
in the very esteemed note, that
private ships, insofar as they do
not flee or offer resistance, may
not be destroyed without the per-
sons aboard being brought into
safety.
"The imperial and royal gov
ernment is very responsive to the
assurance that the federal gov
ernmcnt lays value upon seeing
