Washington. April "a state
mcn' By the state Department to-day
on the brcating Of relations by Aus
tria-Hungary folloics:
On March IS the department in
formed the American Ambassador IN
Vienna that this government was sim
cerely DESTROYS Of maintaining friendly
relations with Austria-Hungary and IN
order to accomplish this would be will
inr 70 60 as far as it properly could.
In recapitulating the whole question
for Ambassador Penfeld's guidance IN
his discussion of the matter with the
Austrian Foreign Office the department
pointed out that the Austrian note OF
January 81, declaring almost the same
submarine danger zone as was declared
by Germany. was received on the same
dav that Count Tarnowski arrived IN
Washington; that il had been explained
TO Count Tarnowski that this govern
ment could not possibly receive an
ambassador from Austria and at the
same time dismiss the German Ambas-
sador unless the Austro-Iungarian gov
eminent could recede from the posi-
ton taken in its submarine note; that
Count Tarnowski had agreed, and sug-
pestcd the opening Of conversations IN
the hope that some solution might be
found; that the department had there
upon instructed Mr.. Penfeld to ask the
government for a re-
statement Of its position; that the Aus
TRAN reply, received from Vienna IN a
telegram dated March .. contained inc
following statement:
THE entire declaration is essentially
nothing less than l. notification TO the
effect that 10 merchant ship may naVi-
gate the sea zone accurately defined IN
the declaration" ana that the
imperial and royal government is, now
ever. unable to accept responsibility
/ for the possible loss of human HE
which may. nevertheless. result from
the destruction of armed ships encoun-
tered in the inclosed zones. Moreover
II NAV be remarked that Austro-Hun-
garian submarines are operating only
in the Adriatic and in the Mediter-
ranean, and that therefore prelude
ing OF American interests by Austro-
Hungarian men of war is hardly to be
feared" that the kernel Of the Austro-
Hungarian restatement was in those
quotations because the Austro- Hun
rsrian government upheld the prlncl-
nile set forth in its note of January 81,
al the same time stating that the prelu-
dicing of American interests by Aus
tria- Hungary was hardly TO be feared;
Tint the Austrian reply was apparent
" given out officially IN Vienna and
thereby assumed a definite character;
that in view of this positive declaration
this government could not receive
Count Tarnowski without exciting still
further a public opinion already highly
aroused; that the delicate position IN
which the Austro- Hungarian govern
ment found itself was fully apprecl-
ated. but public opinion in the United
states would not approve the reception
AZ this moment of an Austro-Hungarlan
ambassador. in view OF the fact that
the Austro-Hungarian government had
declared its adherence 10 a method or
warfare projudicing the vital interests

GOVERNOR WILL
 VISIT AT PRISON

Governor Thomas E. Campbell will make his first visit to the Arizona state prison at Florence today. In company with Representative c. c. Green of MaricOpa county, Senator N. H. Get chen Of Yavapai county, Doane Merrill, citizen member of the board of control and Jesse L. Boyce, state auditor the chief executive will make the trip just to look over the prison"
 What changes, if any, are cOntem- plated, the governor failed to state. It is customary for all new governors to visit the state penal institution soon after being inaugurated so it is pos sible that the chief executive is mak- ing the trip merely for the purpose of acquainting himself with the warden, guards and methods employed at the prison.
 IL was officially announced, however. that the party would confer with War den R. B. Sims during the stay at Florence, but on what matters, it was not stated
 The start from Phoenix will he made at o'clock this morning. the party returning late this evening.
