Aus tria'a reply to the Anoona note not only meets the cardinal points of the American demands bat gives assurances for the future which are considared more satis factory in their extent than those given by Germany. The fall American official view will not be known until after President Wilson has studied the Austrian reply, which wag received today from Ambassador Penfield and was immediately dispatched to Hot Springs by White House messenger. It may be stated aathoriatively evsrtheless, that danger of a rupture of diplomatic relatione has passed and the controversy now enters the same stage ag the Lusitania negotiations with Ger many, on an even more favorable basis. Austria in the Anoona case has subscribed; to the principle that no ships will be gunk, unless they ffer resistance or flee, without the persons aboard being brought to safety. This is considered an assurance that is tarreaching and iatufactory. Points which Austria leaves for further diplomatic correspondence tre not considered of a nature to bring on a new crisis.
