London.?The Italian Steamer An
#
cona was not sunk without warning,
according to information obtained j
from survivors landed at Malta by the
Router correspondent and cabled here.
The Austrian submarine which over
hauled her after a long, stern chase,
gave the commander a brief respite to
' permit the removal of passengers, but!
the indescribable panic which began
among the immigrants on board as
soon as the underwater craft was
sighted was responsible for the loss of
many lives. In a mad rush for safety,
men, women and children overwhelmed
the boats, several of which were
overturned before they could be lowered.
Many of the occupants fell into
the sea and were drowned.
Passengers agree, the correspondent
says, that shots fired around the j
stpamor hv submarine tirmnrnnflv '
to hasten the loading of the boats, add
eci to the panic.
The Reuter dispatch, which contains
the first connected story of the sinking
of the Ancona Monday afternoon
20 hours after she had left Messina,
Sicily, follows:
"We left Naples with a fairly large
number of passengers intending to!
sail direct to New York, but soon after i
leaving port received a wireless mes-;
sage directing us to drop at Messina;
for more passengers and cargo. Thcj
people aboard were mostly Greeks and
Italians, with large families on their j
way to the United States to settle!
there. The majority, therefore, were
women and children.
Submarine Gives Chase.
* "We left Messina at 5 p. m. The
captain having been warned of thcj
presence of enemy submarines, took
all possible precautions. At exactly 1
o'clock Monday afternoon we sighted
a submarine at a great distance. She
came to the surface and made full
speed in our direction, firing as she
did so a shot which went wide across
our bow. We took this to be a warning
to halt.
"Immediately there was the wildest
panic aboard, not only among the women
and children, but the men as well.
Women screamed and children clung
desperately to their mothers. Meanwhile
the submarine continued to shell

ried away the chart house.
"The engines then were stopped and
the Ancona came slowly to a standstill.
The submarine which we could
now see plainly, was an Auustrian,
came along. We heard the commander
talking to our captain. In a somewhat
curt manner we were told the
Austrian had given us a few minutes
to abandon the ship. Meanwhile the
submarine withdrew a little distance.
Shots Added to Panic.
"We turned to the boats which began
to be lowered without loss of time
but the passengers were in a pandemonium.
Men, women and children
seemed to loose their heads completely
The submarine, presumably to acccle
rate our departure, continued to Hre
around the vessel . There was a rush
for the first boats lowered and in the
confusion these were overturned before
they were free from the da\fis,
the occupants falling into the water.
Many were drowned before our eyes.
The shrieks of women, children and
struggling men rent the air, but it
seemed no help could be given. Every
one was trying to act for himself. The
heart-rending screams were punctuated
with shot after shot delivered almost
mechanically from the deck of
the submarine, adding to the panic
aboard. Had it not been for these
shots it might have been possible to
ui -e 1 ? til.
a. neinijittiicu ui ortier. 1 ne conduct
of the submarine was incomprehensible.
Not one shot was directed
at the ship, but they were fired all
around the vessel as if to create as
much terror as possible.
"About eight boats got away clear,
some with a fair complement aboard;
others half empty. All drifted from
each other .

his experieftife said:

Go Slow.
T!ie women are now planning to
drop their efforts to secure suffrage
by vote of the individual States and
propose to concentrate their demands
on Congress for National submission.
They are too impatient. The Observer
has been with them in the Democratic
policy of working up to success
through the separate States and pursuing
this policy they will win the
sooner. The time is not ripe for them
to go before the Nation. Losing there,
they would lose for a generation. Winning
by State vote is slow, but it is
the sure way. No better advice could
be given them than to go slow.?Char

No Confidence.
Lack of confidence in banks has cosi
a pile of money to those who use
trunks, cans and stockings as depositories
for money. Joe Grant, a Greene
county farmer, has been keeping
$2,250 in a trunk at home, but the
money is no longer in the trunk. A
thcief took it out a few days ago and
. carefully locked the trunk after taking
, only a few minutes to rob the farmer
of the savings of a lifetime. It is the
same old story repeated over and over
again because some people persist in
