"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.

Genera! Enrique Castrillo almost start

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

A ft
note reiterates the peremptory demands
previously made, arid notifies the Aus
1 ro-Hungarian government that unless
the An.na attack Is disavowed, diplo
matic relations cannot be continued.
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.
