Berlin, March IA high official Of

said That the appointment OF Prince
Henry OF Prussia, brother OF lsmperoI
Wllliam, TO the command OF the East
Asia'tc squadron had been considered
for months past and was finally dc
cided upon as being the most ayalla
BILE, the emperor desiring to show lh'
American people THAT he Is thorough
ly friendly TO them, knowing thal
Prince Henry Is popular I'M the United
States.
When the official referred TO wal
asked whether the appointment was
equivalent to the Disgrace OF Admlra'
Won Dledrlchs, he said:
"Not exactly. II Admiral Won Died
rfchs had shown more tact last sum
mer before Manila ii would undenia
bly, have been productive OF good re-
suits all around. Our government I'M
fortunately, was advised too hate OF q
number of occurrences before Manila
none OF which was really Important;
burt they showed grave wanIt OF tact
upon Admiral Won Diedrlchs' part
The main trouble was that Admiral
Won Dledrlchs was insufficienItly in
formed regarding international naval
usages i'm such a delicate situation
Consequently he continued pqva'
movements, drill and searchllghl
practice as n elsewhere than in o
blocLaded port, tlhus arousing distrusi
upon the part of the Americans"
The above is Important, as being thc
