The Austrian submarine reported to have terpedoed and sunk the An- cona, it was thought here, probably was lying in wait for the Ancona at cr near the entrance to the Malta Channel, which is a narrow strip of 1h¥f Mediterranean between Sicily and tho coast of Africa. Austrian and ©Cerman submarines have been active g this Tegion of late, according to mble reports. , War vessels and transports of the allies, enroute to the scene of opera- tions at the ‘Dardanglles, as well as the forces sent to Saloniki, all passed /through the Malta channel. ( Cabled Home Office. " As soon as the local agents learned of the sinking they cabled the home office at Naples for a complete pas- senger list. At present nothing s known here concerning the personal of the passengers, but Mr. Solari thought the number of first cabin passengers, eighty-three, as given in a cable report today, was too high, as the ‘Ancona had accommodations for only fifty first cabin passengers. On 'the past three trips from Naples to New York. Mr, Solari said more than half of Ancona’s passengers have been women and children, owing to the fact that few men of military age are lnmf»'ng Italy. The Ancona has not been used as transport during the present war, ' the agent said, nor has she carried any munitions, Titta Ruffo Not Aboard. The Ancona has been a favorite steamer with opera singers and musicians coming to this country. Titta Ruflo, the baritone. was reparted aboard the steamer, but this was de- nied by his brother in Chicago, Ow- ing to the fact that the Metropolitan Opera season in New York will open Monday, and that a 1arge number of singers of other companies are al- ready in this country. officials of the line here did not think there was any singers aboard the Ancona. The Italian consulate said they had no in- formation concerning any of the An- cona’s passengers, Fear For Three Steamers. In view of the sinking of the An- cona and the reported activity of Ger- man and Austrian submarines in the Mediterranean and adjacent waters, considerable interest was expressed in marine circles here today concerning three steamers that sailed from Amer- ican ports and are now nearing Italy. The Europa, of La Veloce, sailed from New York on October 31 and is due at Naples today, but has not been reported as arriving. The Europa car- ried 1,125 passengers, a large portion of them being reservists. The steamer Caserta, the Lloyd-Ital- ian, salled from here November 1 for Genoa with 1,200 passengers, nearly all of them Italian reservsts. The White Star steamer Cretic which sailed from Boston for Mediterranean ports on Oct. 30, is due at Gibraltar today with 1,088 passengers. Fail to Fix Position. The message from Malta stating that four passengers and forty-one of the crew of the Ancona have been landed there fails to aid fixing the approximate position of the steamer when she was sunk. Malta is about 200 miles southeast of Cape Bon, where two of the a's liteboats landed.

On Regular Courst. The fact that the larger number of survivors have been landed at Bizerta, east of Cape Bon, is taken by steam- ship men here to indicate that the Ancona was on the regular course when sunk. - This course, it was said, lies closer to the African coast than to that of Sardinia. The local agents received numer- ous inquiries today from relatives and friends: of persons said to be aboard the Ancona. Among those inquired for were Mr: and Mrs. Canfield Jones, of Philadelphia and Mrs- Bissell. of ‘Washington.. At noon the line had not ‘reéceived any definite .information, however, regarding passengers, ‘Washington Awaits News, ‘Washington, Nov. 10.—Definite in- formation concerning the sinking of the Italian liner Ancona by a sub- marine flying the Austrian flag was anxiously awaited taday by officials of the United States government. Despatches containing little in- formation other than that the ship had been sunk and that 270 of the 482 persons aboard had been saved, received here early today, created a ‘sensation in official circles. Should it develop that Americans oboard lost their lives and that the steamer was tarpedoed without warn- ing, the American government prob- ably would demand of the Austrian government disavowal of the act, rep- aration and assurances that there will be no repgtition of the incident. First Step or U. S. If administration officials decide that the matter is one calling for dip- lomatic exchange the first step, prob- ably would be to secure through am- bassadors Penfield at Vienna and Page at official information from the Austrian ana the Italian governments. Until such data 1s received, no formal action probably will be taken. Meanwhile officials would make no comment, Secretary Lansing indicated that the United States would for a reason- report of the sinking of the Ancona, but that if official ward is not received within a reasonable time the department will inquire into the affair through the embassy at Rome. . No Request Made. Department officials said they had made no request of American Ami- bassador Page or of any consular of- ficers. They explainea that as a mat- ter of duty the nearest American con- sular officer to Bizerta would make a report, especially if any American lives were lost. Dean B. Mason, con- sul at Algeria, Algiers. about 300 miles east of Bizerta, is the nearest American officer. He probably would 8o to Bizerta to make an investiga- tion should he learn that American lives were lost. Mrs. Lamura on Board. Two Italian-Americans sailed from Naples on the steamer Ancona accord- ing to a despatch to the state depart- | ment today from Consul White. One of them was Mrs. Francesca Masoola Lamura. Consul White cabled it was verbally reported in Naples 270 per- sons had been saved. Consul White's despatch said the i other lost American citizen was an in- fant child. Rome London Gets News, London, Nov. 10, 12:50 p. m.—News of the sinking of the Ancona was not made public in London until shortly before noon, when the censor re- leased the first despatch from New York on the subject. This despatch referred to the fact that a sensation had been caused by tRe torpedoing of the Ancona, but as nothing previously had been heard of the disaster the message was incomprehensible. 'Sub- Isequently, however, a flood of mes- | sages from Rome was released. Few Details in Rome- Rome, Nov. 9. 9:20 p.m., via Pa Nov< 10, 10:45 a. m.—Few details have been received here at this hour concerning the sinking of the An- cona. News of the loss of the vess caused the greatest anxiety in Rome. Bounr for Waterbury, Waterbury, Nov. 10.—DMrs, Frank Greco and daughter, aged six years and Miss Maltitia Ferrera, all bound for Waterbury, were on board the Italian liner Ancona, which was sunk by a submarine. Mrs. Greco was on ker way here to join her husband, who lives at 9 Union street. Miss Ferrera was coming to Waterbury to livé with her sister, Mrs. Laudesi of CASTORIA For Infants and.

Submacine Was German, Rome, Nov. 10, via Paris, 4:15 p. m.—The assertion is made by surviv- ors of the Ancona, according to r ports which reached Romc today, that the submarine which sank the steamship was German, although fly- ing the Austrian colors. This has not been confirmed officially- Berlin Report. Berlin, Nov- ville.—*Information from a reliable source is to the effect that the steam- ship Ancona was sunk by an Austro- Hungarian submarine,” says the Over- seas News Agency. She attempted to escape, and thus compelled the sub- marine to use her guns.” DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

The Ameri- can consul there reports the cruiser now is lying outside, presumably wait- ing to seize the ship. consul sent, even though incomplete, the official conclusion here is that the British naval authorities not only vio- lated Mexican neutrality but far ex- ceeded their rights in forcibly search- an American ship in a neutral port. Watched by British, The Zealandia figured much of late in reports of the investigations of British agents who were on the trail of ships supposed to be fitting out in the United States for attacking oil carrying ships from Mexican flelds where the British navy draws a 8T proportion of its supply of fuel oil. The Zealandia has no change of registry involved as has been the case of many other American ships since the beginning of the war, but was originally a Hawaiian ship which came under the American flag at the time of the annexation.
