Italian Bsport Dubrovnlk Was Trans.

" pedo Crashed Zfaboat.
;- Vienna, May 18. (I. N. S.) De
nouncing the recent torpedoing of the
j Austrian steamship Dubrovnlk, In the
Adriatic sea, as "International murder'
the Austrian government has filed
: with representatives here of neutral na
: tlons a protest, citing other alleged ln
atances in which Austro-Hungarian
vessels were fired upon by submarines.
The protest concludes with the follow
, lng: '"The Austro-Hungarian govern
ment must emphatically protest against
the mentioned criminal acts."
A memorandum which accompanied
the protest read :
Elgbt FsrsPns Are Kissing.
"On May 9 at 10:30 o'clock In the
morning; the Dubrovnlk was destroyed
by two torpedoes fired without warn
. 1ns y an enemy submarine. The first
torpedo ; hit the starboard side and
. the ship Immediately began to sink.
; ' "All persons on board rushed to the
' lifeboats; A second t-erpedo was then
. fired, hitting the ship and crushing
the starboard lifeboat, together with
Us occupants. In the second boat It
; was possible to rescue only 16 per
( sons. Two others were picked up in
the water. Some also were rescued by
' boat-, from the shore.
. "On board the Dubrovhik were ' 19
passengers, Including two clergymen
and several women and children. Up
to the present the bodies of three
women have been found. Four sailors
and fourj passengers are missing."
Two Hatlons Held Xesponslble.
After citing the statement of an
Italian news agency that the Dubrov
nlk was c. transport and ammunition
carrier, the memorandum adds:
"This statement Is an Invention.
The Dubrovnlk' s capacity was only
ISO tons and it was unable to carry
troops and ammunition. Furthermore,
the submarine was so distant when It
began this attack that it was impos
sible to discern the class of persons
carried.
"The Austro-Hungarian government
states that the firing of the second
torpedo toward the sinking steamer
wneii' me nreboats were aMoat must
be characterized as Internationa mur
der' and vthat the Austro-Hungarian
government must also hold responsible
both the Italian and French govern
ments as the French submarine was
operating with Italian forces."
Protest May Be Made.
... Washington,, May 18. (I. N. S.)

awaiting Ambassador Penfleld's copy
