Torpedoed the An cona, and Promises to Pay Indemnity. LONDON, Dec. 31—The Austrian reply to the second American note on the Abcona states that the commander of the Austrian submarine has | been punished for not sufficiently taking account of the panic aboard the which rendered disembarkation more diMecult. Ancona, offered for the American lives lost. Imdemnity ts The Austrian reply is forwarded to Reuter's Telegram Company from Vienna by way of Amsterdam, as follows: “VIENNA, Dec, 28.—In reply to the second American Ancona note, the * Austro-Hungarian Government fully agrees with the Washington Cabinet that the sacred laws of humanity should be taken Into account also in war and emphasizes that it, in we} course of this war, has given numer- boats, and that several shots were fired on tho steamer even after it had stopped.] “The commander of the submarine allowed the steamer more me than was neceasary for the passengers to take to the boats and then torpedoed the vessel in such a manger that It wollld remain afloat as long as poa- | sible to enable the passengers to din- ous proofs of the most humane feel-| embark,an object which would have ings. “The Austro-Hung ernment, too, can positively con- cur in the princi that enemy Private vessels, so far net fies or offer resistance, shall not be destroyed before the par- sone aboard are secured. “The assurance that the United Btates Government attaches value to the maintenance of the existing good relations between Austrin-Hungary and the United States is warmly re- ciprocated by the Austro-Hungarian Government, which now, as hereto- fore, ir anxious to render these r tions still more cordial. (The Austro-Hungarian Gov- ernment then communicates the results of the inquiry into the sinking of the Ancona, which was recently concluded} “The inquiry showed that the com- mander of the submarine from « great distance, in the first instance, fired a warning shot on the steamer, sighted at 1140 o'clock in the fore- noon, which he at first believed to be a transport steamer, at the samo tipe wiving a signal for the vessel to atop. “As the atcamer failed to atop, and ‘tried. to escape, the submarine gave chase and fired sixteen shells at the eteumer, of which three were ob- werved to hit. The steamer only atopped after the third hit, where- upon the commander ceased firing. “tAirgady during the fight, It te de- clared, when at full speed, the steamer dropped several boats filled with people, which at onte capsized. After the steamer stopped the com- mander of the submarine ,observed that six boats were fully manned, and ‘théy ‘apecdily rowed away from the eteam-. “Approaching nearer, the com- mander of the submarine saw that a great panic prevailed aboard the eteamer and that he had before him ‘the passenger vessel Ancona, on ac- count of which he gave those aboard mere time than was necessary to Ipave the vessc) in lifeboats. “At least ten lifeboats were still aboard, which would have more than sufficed to rescue the ‘pemons still on the vessel, but “ae ne other preparations were ‘expiration of forty-five minutes, to ‘terpedo the vessel in such a man- ‘Hor that it ought to remain afloat fer a still longer time, in ord to leave sufficient opportunity for the people still aboard to be “Shortly afterward a steamer be- came visible, which steamed toward | the submarine. As the commander of the submarine, who believed the 10 be an enemy cruiser, had to Yeckon with an attack, he mub- méfged at-12.35, firing a torpedo into the feremost cargo hold of the An- votm,” Mo wore boats aboard the Yeanel Were lowered, although persons ‘wets wtill visible aboard, “The steamer sank 80 slowly that the submarine commander at first doubted whether the steamer would wink. Oply at 1.20 o'clock did it sink, bow first. “During these further forty-five minutes all the persons aboard could have easily been saved with the avail- able boats. From the circumstances that this did not opcur, the com- miander concluded that the crew, con- trary to all the rules of the sea, ac- complished their own rescue in the first boris and left the passengers to themnelves. “The entire loss of Hfe cannot be attributed in the first instance to the eifking of the vessel, but in some de- gree t6 the dtopping yf the first boats while the steamer was proceeding at full speed and to the fact that the créw only thought bf their own safety and did not rescue the passengers from the capsized boats, though also to the shells which hit the fleeing Vessel. But the death of the persons drowned with the sinking vessel must, above all, be ascribed to the “eulpable behavior” of the crew. | [The Austrian reply then states that the American note in several polfits'ts based on incorrec Positions, and describes as Fect that a shell wan at Bred: sult, avertook the steamer; only @ ebort onee that the submarine, on pur- that time was allowed been attained if the passengers had not been forsaken by the crew. “Fully appreciating the attitude ef the commander, who had view the rescue of the pai and crew, the Austro-Hun: lected to take sufficiently into ideration the panic disembarkation more difficult, and the the spirit of the regulations that Austro-Hungarian naval of- ficers. should refuse assistance to no. one in distress, enemy.

BULGARS DEFEAT SERBS. | Overwhelm Them and Italian Allies in Albania, Says a Berlin Report. BERLIN, (by wireless to Sayville) Dec. 31.—A report that British troops have been landed on the Greek Coast near Kavala was given out to-day by the Overseas News Agency, which says its information was obtained from the Secolo of Milan. [Kavala is on the Northern Coast of the Aegean Sea, near the Bulgarian border, It is about thirty miles east of Worfano, at which point, it was reported from London last night, the British have landed troops sent from Sa- | lonica, The intent of these oper- ations, presumably, is to check- mate any attempts to advance on Salonica across the Bulgarian border.) Defeat of the Serbians, who appar- ently had been reinforced by Italians, after a three-day battle in central Albania is reported by the Overseas Nows Agency, which says it received its formation from French and Itali@h sources, The battle is sald to have taken place between El Bassan and Mirat. The Serbians were well provided with ammunition and food supplies and had some light artillery but no heavy gun: “For three days,” the News Agency says, “fighting was continued vio-| lently. According to Italian reports the Serbians were almost annihilated. The Bulgarians continue to advance.” ROME, Dec, 31.—Greece has‘ ad- dressed a fortaal protest to the allies aguinst the seizure of diplomatic rep- resentatives of the Central Powers by Anglo-French military commanders at Salonica, according to Athens ad- vices to-day.

The Emperor is not confined to bed. His affection is described as harmless, “The unsettled weather makes it ap- pear advisable that the Emperor should keep to his room for a few |{ days,” the message continues.

BERLIN (via wireless to Sayville, L, 1), Dec, 31—The German Foreign Office to-day took cognizance of the Three Demands Made by the U.S. And How Austria Has Met Them In the first note of the United States to Austria, dated Dec. 6, Secre- tary Lansing said. “As the good relations of the two. countries must rest upon a common regard for law and humanity, the Government of the United States cannot be expected to do otherwise than to demand (1) That the Imperial and Royal Government denounce the sinkin of the Ancona as an illegal and indefensible act. (In answer Austria saye: “The Austro-Hungarian Govern- ment, too, can positively concur in the principle that enemy pri- vate vessels, so far as they do not flee or offer resistance, shall not be destroyed before the persons aboard are secured.”) (2) That the officer who perpetrated the deed be panisheds [In answer the Austrian note says: “Fully appreciating the attitude of the Commander, who had {n view the rescue of the passengers and crew, the Austro-Hungarian naval authorities have arrived at the conciusion that he apparently neglected to take sufficiently into consideration the panic among the passengers, which rendered disembarkation more difficult, and the spirit of the regulations that Austro-Hungarian officers should refuse a: sistance to no one in distress, even an enemy.
