WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 The re cently placid horizon In the subma rine controversy was clouded jmln oualy today as new dispatches gave md that Austria or German, sank the Ancuna without warning, presumably with American! aboard.

State depart ment heads withheld Judgment on aceouni of the abaence of absolute j Information to prove what the news dispatches Indicated, it the vessel, was warned and then attempted to escape, a controversy would be avoided, authorities said, as Interna-1 tlonal law would Justify such an ac tion. Just how far Austria la bound j by negotiations between America and 1 Germany Is another point still unde- termlned.
