The Inverkip, from Valencia to Norfolk | in ballast to load coal, was about one hours run from Gibraltar when there was a great shock. The ship's officers saw ol rise to the surface, and this, with the fact that a long diagonal dent was made in the bottom of the Inverkip, leads Captain Glassen to believe he struck a rubmarine. Beveral holes were torn in the Inverkip's ballast tanks, and but for extremely calm weather Captain Glassen belleves his ship | would have sunk' immediately.

Austrin Makes Inquiry. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—The State de- partment has recelved from the Austro- Hungarian government through Ambas- mdor Penfleld at Vienna a formal in- quiry regarding the statement recently sued at the Department of Justice, which was construed by the Austrian embassy here as. being in confirmation of the charges made by Dr. Goricar, a former Austrian consul. Austria's inquiry asked whether the Department of Justice had issued such a statement in regard to the charges made by the former Austrian consul and, it so, upon what grounds it based its assertion, which appeared to be confirma- tory in nature. Gorfcar charged in effect that Austrian consulates in the United States operatin, under the direction of the German em- bassy were concerned in conspiracies to cripple munitions plants. ————— English Diplomat Dies.
