"In reply to the much esteemed note number 4167, which His Kxeellency, Mr. Frederic Courtland Fenfield. am bassador extraordinary and plenipo tentiary of the United States of Arm r iea direc ted to him in the name of the American government under date of the ninth instant In the matter of the sinking of the Italian steamer An cor.a, the undersigned, preliminary 10 a thorough, meritorious treatment of the demand, has the honor to observe that th sharpness with which the government of the i'nited States con siders it necessary to blame the com manding officer of the submarine con cerned in the affair and the firmness in which trie demands addressed the Imperial and royal government appear to be expressed might well have war lanttd the expectation that the gov ernment of the United States shuu'd preisely specify the actual circum stances of the affair upon which it basts its case. Boom for Doubts Left. 'As is not difficult to perceive, the presentation of the facts in the case m the aforesaid note leaves room for many doubts; and even if tills presen tation were correct in all points and the most rigorous legal conception were applied to the judgment of the 'ase, it does not In any way suf ficiently warrant attaching blame to the. commanding officer of the war vessel or to the imperial roval gov err. men t. 'The government of the United States has aiso failed to designate the person upon whose testlmonv it re lies and to whom It apparently be lieves It may attribute a higher degree of credibility than to the commander of the imperial and royal fleet. "The hot., als., faiis to give any information whatsoever as to the num ber, names and more precise fate of the American citizens who were on board the said sieamer at the critical moment. Beady to Exchange "Views. "However, in view of the fact that the Washington cabinet has now made a positive statement to the effect that .nzens of the I'nited States of America came to grief in the incident in question, the Imperial and royal government Is In principle ready t enter into an exchange of views in the affair witii the government of the United States. It must, however, in the first pi i. e. raise the question why th.it government failed to give judi cial reasons for th demands set forth In Its i.ote Willi reference to t lie spe cial circumstances of the incriminat ing evidences upon which it itself lays stress and why, in lieu thereof, it referred to an exchange of corres pondence which it haji conducted witn another government in other case. Case Hot Like Others. "The imperial and royal government Is less able to follow the Washington cabinet on tills unusual path, since it by no means possesses authentic know ledge of all of the pertinent corres pondence of the government of the United States, nor is it of the opin ion that such' knowledge might be suf ficient for It in the present case, which, insofar as it is Informed, is in essential points of another nature than the case or cases to which the gov ernment of the United States seems to allude. The imperial and royal gov ernment may therefore leave It to the Washington- cabinet to formulate tho particular points of law against which the commanding officer of the subma rine is alleged to .have offended on the occasion of the sinking of the An- cona. Beferres Own Legal Views. "The government of the l.'nlted States has also seen fit to refer to the attitude which the Berlin cabinet as sumed in the above mentioned corre spondence. The imperial and royal government finds in the much es teemed note no indication whatever of the Intent with which the reference was made. Should, however, the gov ernment of the United States thereby have intended to express an opinion to the effect that a prejudice of whatever nature existed for the Imperial and roya government with respect to tho judicial consideration of the affair In question, this government must, in order to preclude possible misunder standings, declare that as a matter of course it reserves to, itself full freedom of maintaining its own legal views in the discussion of the ea&e of the An cona. "in having the honor to have re course to the klndnesa of his excel lency, the ambassador of the United States of America, with a most respect ful request to be good enough to com municate the foregoing to the Amen i can government, and on this occasion I to state that the imperial and royal government, in no less degree than the American government and under all circumstances, most euncerely deplores the fate of the innocent ictlms of the I incident in question, the undersigned 'at the same tirrreKavails himself of this opportunity to renew the expression of his most distinguished consideration to his ex. ellem-v, the ambassador.

BANDIT" BUSINESS BAD Revolutionary Leader Incites Masked Men of Highlands to BVetoel Affalast Loot Stringency. I San Francisco, Dec IS. (U. P.) Genera! Enrique Castrillo almost start ed a South American revolution. He might have succeeded, but his chances were killed, not by soldiers, or an opposing army, but by ordinary South American mountain snakes. According to Henry Malcolmson. Nicaragua representative of W. R. Grace & Co.. it happened this way: Revolutions have been tabooed for some time. But Castrillo couldn't get the revolution bug out of his bonnet. He couldn't find anybody to "revolute." So he went up into the mountains. Times had been getting ' sort of Hard for the mountain bandits. The bandittiog business was so bad that they welcomed Castrillo as leader. So they started shooting up things. Re ports reached American soldiers that a revolution had broken out. Soldiers hurried into the mountains. They soon were hot on Castrillo's trail. So Castrillo ditched his army ajid leap ed into a mountain cave to avoid cap ture. He did not reckon with the snakes, however. That night the snakes came home to sleep. They objected to the interloper. Castrillo looked at the snakes and fled right Into the arms of the soldiers. He was captured and 1s now await ing trial. icanv a : m-.-essarv in the smaller one: a'.so ample number on the streets to k. ep proper order and to see to it that the laws arc enforced.

In only one particular does the note fall short of an ultlrnatum. No time limit is fixed in which the demands must b met. CiMy a ciiarjre In front fry Austria, a retre.vt from what officials character :7.e a truculent attitude," and expres sion of willingness to admit the Illegal ity of the Ancona attack and dlncus reparation, can avert a break, officials said tonight. Situation Most Serious. At the White House and state de partment It was gravely admitted that the Ancona cP.se raises the most seri ous diplomatic situation that has con fronted this government Ince the war began. I Secretary Lansing. after working well Into Kviday night, submitted a draft of the second Ancona note to President Wilson this morning. It was announced at that time at the White House that Secretary Ijinsing would confer with the president during the day. letter. Secretary Lansing said he did not expect to see the president. He stated that he had given the last word in the draft prepared, and would not change It unless the president ordered modifications. When the president left, on his honeymoon without discussing the note with Mr. Tensing. 1t was con sidered certain that the drastic draft of th note had been approved. What Hew Vote Demands. I From authoritative sources It was ! learned th.itthn note as drafted by Mr. Lansing demands: Disavowal of the Ancona act. Reparation for the American lives lost. j Punishment of the submarine com- mander. These were the original demands made in the first note. To this in added the clause that may or may rot be an ultimatum, depending on Austria's future course. It ssuys in substance that: i The imperial and roval government of Austria-Hungary cannot expect the United States to continue its present friendly diplomatic relations with that I country unless it accepts the princl i pie governing submarine warfare as egreed to by the United States and I Germany. ! Discussion Is Rejected. ! From the same sources it was defi nitely learned that the United States in its second note rejects all proposals made, in the Austro-llungariaji reply looking to discussion of law or facts. , The United States, it Is understood, will not submit further evidence in substitution of the charge that the An- j cona sinking was an act of wanton slaughter. Neither will It engage In ia change of views as to the particular points of law against which the com jmanding officer "of the submarine is I alleged to have offended.'' to quote the ' language of the Austrian reply. Secretary Lanshig definitely an rounced today that the United States i based its case on the evidence sub 1 mitted by the Austrian admiralty It self. The corroborative evidence of : the officers of the Ancona and the survivors of the disaster was not nec essary, in the official view, to estab lish this government's charges that the sinking of trie Ancona was an act of brutality, contrary both to the laws of nations and the laws of humanity.
