THE BEE: ( ITALYHAS NO PACTS REGARDING ANCONA Ambassador Page Says His Confer-| ences with the Foreign Office Are Fruitless. MAY ASK BERLIN OR VIENNA ‘WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Ambas- sador Thomas Nelson Page Rome cables that his conferences at the Italian foreign office thus far have falled to develop the detalls or facts concerning the sinking of the Italian liner, Ancona. The Italian government, according to Mr. Page, is having consfderable diffioulty establishing just what oc- curréd when the vessel went down. Secretary Lanking has been walting to Jearn whether it was a German or Aus- trian submarine which destroyed the An- cona, and therefore has not instfucted either Ambassador Gerard or Ambassador Pentleld to call at the Berlin and Vienna forelgn offices, respectively, to ask for information. It appeared, however, today, that in order to obtain officlally such Informa- tion as 1s in the posseesion of the German and Austrian governments, such Instruc- tions might be sent. French Report of Resewe. The most connected officlal narrative of the rescue of survivors Yrom the torpe- doed Italian liner, Ancona, yet to reach thé State department, arrived today by cable from Ambassador Sharp at Paris, who transmitted telegrams to the French minister of marine from the prefect at Biserta. They follow: * “November 7—One hundred shipwrecked persons, of whom six are wounded, from Ancone, topedoed Sunday noon, brought to Blzerta. queer costumes some of the front have earned the sobrigq “November 8—Two torpedo boats this evening brought in twenty-one survivors and four bodies to Biserta. Survivors are 163 out of 480, and are being cared for at the Sidf Adballah hospital. The sub- marine which sank the Ancona, according to concordant Information recetved by me, was from % to 100 meters lons and armed with two fairly large guns for- ‘ward and two smaller guna aft. “November 9—A boat from the Ancona arrived this mornihg at Cape Bon with . Wwenty-elght persons, bringing total sur- vivors up to 157. Of the 161 cared for at the Sidl Adballah hospital is an Ameri- . can woman, one s a Russ'an, sixteen are Greeks and the balance Itdiians. “November 9—Two of the Ancona boats have just arrived, one at Zembra with twenty-elght survivors, and the other at _‘Tunis’ with thirty-seven others. survivors, 232."

Issued to All Neumtrals. The denouncement has been pre- gented to the neatrals. It stated that many passengers swimming in the sea approached the sbumarine in the hope of rescue, but were driven off with ‘“jeers.” It concludes as fol- lows: “The royal government regards it as a duty to denounce solemnly to all nations the circumstances de- scribed above, Their sentiments of justice and humanity will cause them without doubt to judge as it deserves the conduct of an enemy which is ob- viously contrary to the dictates of civilization and the recognized prin- ciples of international law.” It is not stated in the denounce- ment whether the submarine which sank the Ancona was an Austrian or German. It was presumed by the of- ficlals of the State department that the Itallan government had not definitely cleared up that point, Text of Ntatement, “The government of the United States is doubtless aware of the particulars reported by the press in connection with the outrage perpetrated by the enemy |upon Itallan shipping on November 7. “More tha nonce the destruction of Itallan merchantmen had taken place | | under circumstances which permitted no | other explanation than that there was | behind the procedure a ruthless purpose | {to use brutish force against private property of innocent persons.
