INDIGNATION IN ITALY'S CAPITAL Rome, via Paris, Nov. 10, 7:10 p. m The sinking of tho steamer Ancona by a hostile submarine has caused intense in-tense indignation In official circles in Rome and among the Italian public pub-lic generally. Thus far, Mr. Pago, the American ambassador, has been unable, to ascertain as-certain definitely whether there were any American-born passengers aboard the Ancona, The Rome office of the Italian line, to which the Ancona belonged, be-longed, likewise Is in the dark In this respect ' It was said there today that an American family had intended to sail by the Ancona, but that their reservation had been cancelled and that It was unknown whether any Americans had booked passage through tho Naples office. Attempts to communicate with the Naples office were prevented by the stringent military regulations. Owing to the recent activity of hostile hos-tile submarines in the Mediterranean, orders have been Issued to the Italian fleet to redouble their efforts to capture cap-ture or destroy these underwater craft and also to watch particularly and attempt at-tempt to guard boats plying, between tho Mediterranean and the United States and also in the Otranto canal. The orders also are that the Italian fleet shall endeavor to prevent Austrian Aus-trian submarines leaving tho Adriatic sea or for those now outsido those waters to return to their base for fresh supplies. The Greek coast islands alBo are to be closely patroled in obtaining fuel, as did the German cruisers Goeben and "Breslau at the beginning of the war. The French and British fleets aro co-operating with the Italians.
