Auitrla'a latest note In regard to tho
iloklnR of the Italian-American liner
Ancona by an Auitrlan submarine,
wn received lnt night. It wait read
Id tho cabinet moetlng tula morning.
Aa a roault, Uinalng will draft a
rejoinder, which, I la expectod, will
be an ultimatum. Tho Indirectness
of Austrian diplomats ! aggravating
to tho American offlclali.
In effect, the now rejoinder will bo
rich an to leave no loophole for pro-
Icaied negotiation. The reply Jut
received from Auatrla Is In effect one
that bid for audi a courae.
The only chance of avoiding the
severance of diplomatic relation be-'
tween the United State and Auatrla
la for Auatrla to furnlah unquestion
able proof of Ita contention In the
cate, and simultaneously admitting
that the flrat Auatrlan admiralty re
port of tho affair, which aald tho
Ancona' waa torpedoed and attacked
while atandlng still, la entirely wrong.
Even thta chanco will bo worthies
unless the proofa, etc., are promply
a ted.
