Count Tisza, in an Interview, Declares Talk of Trouble Is Nonsense, WASHINGTON, Dec, 21,— Baron Erich Zwiedinek, Charge of the Aus- ‘tro-Hungarian Embassy, called on Secretary Lansing to-day to discuss the Ancona case. Baron Swiedinek had been furnished a copy of the eecond note from the United States. It was believed that he desired in: formation of an informal character, Tee Charge is known to have re- ceived instructions from the Vienna Foreign Office regarding the nogotia- It was authoritatively stated to-day that Baron Zweidinek intimated last the second note be leas severe his Government might #00 fit to make a reply which would satisfy the United States, To-day's conference, it was believed, had te do with this sugges- tion, ‘The new note is about 600 words long, and although characterized by thobe acquainted with its phraseology as firm in tone, is said to be somewhat jess harp than the frst note in its wording. It is based squarely, ac cording to these officials, on the the Ancona sinking, and while rot- erence ts made to American victims and survivors, the reference is said to be more incidental than direct. —_—— NO BREAK WITH U.S., SAYS COUNT TISZA, AUSTRIA’S ADVISER. the strongest man in the dual mon- archy, gave assurance in an inter- view in the ministerial palace at there would be no trouble over the Ancona case, “To think of trouble between Aus- tria-Hungary and the United States —sheer nonsense,” declared the “Iron | Man” of the monarchy emphatically. Count Tista bas just returned from maja conference with the Emperor at Vienna regarding the Ancona note, “I must confess,” ho said, reclining in a big leather chair, “that we were greatly surprised to get the Amert- can note. It is far from our inten- tion to get into any quarrel with America, Perhaps I shouldn't say quarrel because I know it would not be that, but of course matters do not depend on us entirely, “There ia no reason for any trouble over the Ancona question, It must be settled satisfactorily, not only from the standpoint of the United Btates but from our standpoint, And the only way to reach a settlement is through correspondence which will suggest the means.” A further indication that Count Tiesa does not contemplate a break 4s found in bis own statement that the dual monarchy ia now occupied in naming a new Ambassador to Washington to succeed Ambassador Dumba. Ambassador Penfield also pointed this out at Viertna, and fur- thermore said that twice on the dey the Austrian reply was sent to Wash- tagten the Foreign Office asked Am- to bor good offices io ob- fain apeclal concessions for the mon- erohy in belligerent lands, United States Congul General Cofn rs who dally meeta the pangerien. istors, sald the core diality of their relations was not in- terrupted by the American note.

In unofficial circles it was said that the Government was not 80 much opposed to disavowal of the torpedoing of the a an it wae to the manner by Washington in the American note. It was suggested to Count Tissa that a visitor to Vienna was sur- prised at the large number of daily goatgrenass held by Emperor Frans Jone! “The world hus quite false im- Preasion of the Emperor,” he replied. “He is awake at 4 o'clock every morn- ing and works until 8 at night, like a man of forty, He knows every do- tall of foreign military affairs, | He has retained his strength of mind and physically is one of the strongest men in the monarchy to-day,” The military situation, Count Tissa said, is more than satisfactory to Austria-Hungary. ———____.
