WASHINGTON. Nov. 18. An
effldavlt by Dr. Ocll Grell, the only
t atlve American survivor of the Ital
ian liner Anrona, directly contradicts
the A uotro-H unitarian f overnment'g
official Ktatement that the ship was
not shelled by the attarklng subma
rine after It stopped. The State de
partment today was notified of the
existence of the affidavit by consul
dispatches.
The text of (he message which was
sent by American Consul Mason of
Algiers follows:
"Oecllle Crelle Klrelll Intelligent. Im
partial witness, deposition not conclusive

escape by Aneona. K1rt Intimation dan

proves) that bombardment lasted forty
five minutes snd wss continued after
vessel had stopped, killing and wounding
many persons. fllie saw destruction

and six cannon on submarine. Knows

tion AUiers and lilserta considered to
demonstrate .conclusively thst thirteen
vessels were sunk from the November
I to 7, by submarines, . going from Gib

'vrtll Await More Farts.
Ferrtary I-anslng will take no action,
however, until Information of a more
definite character regarding the more
esuenllal details Is received. Huch in
formation is expected by cable from
American consuls and posnlbly from the
French government, whlrh Is understood
to be taxing depositions.
The State department considers thst

Is an open question. Secretary Lansing
considers that the evidence on that fea

today that beca m Mrs. Greil was the
