being the most available the Emperor desiring
to show the American people that he Is thor
oughly friendly % them, knowing that Prince
Henry is popular in the United States
When the official referred TO was asked
whether the appointment was equivalent 70 the
disgrace Of Admiral Won Diedrchs, he said:
Not exactly that. Still. if Admiral Won Die
drichs had shown more tact last summer before
Manila it would undoubtedly have been produc-
tive Of good results all around. our Government
unfortunately. advised too late Of a num-
her Of occurrences before Manila. none Of which
were really important. but they showed grave
want Of tact upon the part Of Admiral Won Die
drchs The main trouble that Admiral Won
Diedrichs was insufficiently informed regarding
international naval usages in such delicate
situation. Consequently he continued naval
movements drill and searchght practice as If
elsewhere than in a blockaded port. thus arous-
ing distrust upon the part Of the Americans"
