an Elaborate Set OF heeuhahiohr ~
Maintaining Order. Observing Naval
Etiouette and Preventing Amy Clash OF
the sailors OF Rival Powers During the
Celebration OF the Opening OF the Nortn
Canal.
BERLIN, June 1.-THE Berlin u
thorities, especially those OF the ad-
miralty and police. have submitted TO
the Emperor an elaborate set OF regu-
lations designed for the purpose OF
maintaining order at kiel and HAM
burg during the fetes in honor OF the
opening of the North sea canal. AS
these plans are now shaped, 1t seems
that they are calculated to defy any
attempts which may be made by
criminals, anarchists or others to Gre
ate disorder, to preserve peace among
the sailors while on shore, and to pre-
vent the arising of jealousies among
the officers of the various war ships IN
regard to precedence.
The admiralty have made arrange
ments so hat as soon as a squadron OF
foreign war shiDs makes its appear
ance, a number of German officers
especially assigned to this duty will
meet the visitors on board the dis
patch boat Pfeil and conduct the
squadron to its destined anchorage.
The officers of each squadron arriving
will be informed that an exchange OF
salutes to the German flag will be
made upon passing the fortress at
Friedrichfort, and the German officers
will also advise the commanders of
ships arriving regarding the grades of
admirals or captains already in the
roadstead, so that distinctive salutes.
can be duly given in accordance with
international maritime usage.
The admiralty has decided that so
long as the emperor has his flag flying
in the roadstead no salute can be ex-
changed without also saluting mis-
standard.
With a view to simplifying and
shortening the ceremony of introduce
ton. the admirals and commanders of
German and foreign war ships will go
on board the German training ship
Mars at 10 o'clock on the morning of
June 10, and then make an exchange
of visits en- bloc. The foreign sailors
will be allowed to go ashore only on
fixed days and at stated hours.
On June II the English, Danish and
Swedish sailors will be allowed shore
and Russian blue jackets will go
ashore, and on June 10 the French,
American, Spanish and Austrian tars.
will avail themselves of this privilege.
Drum beat on the German ships will
announce the time when the men will
be free to land. The programme has
been so arranged that the French and
German sailors will have no possible
chance of coming together, and the
German crews will be kept on board
their ships when the Russian and
French sailors are taking their shore
cutting.
Baron Won Tausch. who has been as
signed to the command of the police,
will send 2G2 detectives in plain
clothes to Kiel and Hamburg, and
these, assisted by the foreign de-
tectives, of whom a large number will
be present, will devote themselves tc
the duty of guarding and protecting
the persons of the foreign notabilities.
DpcCldl llSlTuCllOuS nave DeSH Is
sued to keep careful watch for spies
who may attempt to examine the fort
works at Kiel. and further precautions
have been taken by the police in caus-
ing the publication of an order con-
corning the control of visitors, asking
the inhabitants to carefully watch
strangers who may become inmates of
their houses as dodgers or otherwise
and report at once to the authorities
should their suspicious become
aroused in regard to the character Of
any of them.
The admiralty have apportioned to
each German war ship at KEEL the sum
of 1000 marks with which to treat the
foreign officers, and high times are ex-
pected among them. This circum-
stance has provoked a vehement social
list protest against the winning an6
feting of the officers at the expense of
the state while the sailors arc kept on
board their ships.
The empress has caused the erection
of Il temporary hospital at Holtenau,
where sailors and others may be
treated in case of accidents.
