senger vessel Ancona, on account of
which he gave these aboard more time
than was necessary to leave the vessel
in lifeboats. At least 10 lifeboats were
still aboard, which would have more
than sufiiced to rescue the persons
still on the vessel, but as no other
preparations were made to hoist out
the boats, the commander decided,
after an expiration Of IS minutes, to
torpedo the vessel in such a manner
that it ought to remain afloat for a
still longer time, in order to leave suf-
ficient opportunity for the people still
aboard to be rescued.
The entire loss of life, the note sets
forth, cannot be attributable in the
first instance to the sinking Of the yes
sci, but in some degree to the drop
ping of the first boats while the steam
er was proceeding at full speed, and
to the fact that the crew only thought
Of their own safety and did not rescue
the passengers from the capsized
boats though also to the shells which
hit the fleeing vessel. But the death
of the persons drowned with the sink
ing vessel, must, above all, be abscrib,
ed to the "cupable behavior OF the
crew.
The Austrian reply then states that
the American note in several points
is based on incorrect suggestions, and
describes as incorrect that q shell was
at once fired, that the submarine, on
pursuit, overlook the steamer, that
only a short time was allowed for
those aboard to enter the boats. and
that several shots were fred on the
steamer even after it had stopped.
Captain Found At Fault.
The commander Of the submarine,
the note continues, allowed the steam
er more time than was necessary for
the passengers to take to the boats,
and then torpedoed the vessel in such
a manner that it would remain atloat
as long as possible to enable the pas
sengers to disembark-"a object
which would have been obtained If the
passengers had not been forsaken by
the crew."
Fully approaching the attitude Of
the commander who had in view the
rescue Of the passengers and crew
says the note, ''the Austro-H Hungarian
naval authorities have arrived at the
conclusion that he apparently neglect
ed to take sufficiently into considera-
ton the panic among the passengers,
which rendered Decentralization more
difficult, and the spirit Of the regula-
tions that stro-Hungarian naval Off
GERS should refuse assistance to no
one in distress, even an enemy. The
officer was therefore punished for vio-
lating the instruction embodied in the
rules in force for such cases"

BOMB IN BOSTON STATE HOUSE.
scruhwoman Discovers Explosive and
Prevents Disaster.

Boston An unsuccessful attempt
to dynamite the State House was
made Saturday. a bomb containing
four pounds of explosive was attached
to a basement door and fuse had
been lighted, but the fame apparently
died before reaching the detonator.
Had the explosion occurred, in the
opinion Of the police, the building
would have been greatly damaged.
The fact that tarred rope was used as
fuse. according to investigators. in
1icated that the bomb was the work
Of a novice. A scrubwoman discovered
the bomb. The police took it to a
suburb and there discharged the dyna-
mite. 1t showed high explosive
force.
