were welcomed by the Duke of Con-
naught, who wore the uniform of the
German Hussar regiment, Of which he
is honorary colonel and by several
court dignitaries.
The Hohenzollern was escorted by
the German battleship Kaiser Frede-
rich III and fotilla Of eight British
torpedo boat destroyers, which met the
German ships outside Spithead.
The imperial yacht few the British
naval flag at her foremost, the German
flag at her mizzen and the imperial
standard at her mainmast. As she
entered the harbor the British admit
rails flagship and eight others, gaily
bedecked, Numbered a royal salute

Frederick III. A detachment Of 800
soldiers and 900 seamen forming a
guard of honor, was drawn up and
presented arms as the Hohenzollern
came alongside with the imperial party
standing on the yachts bridge.
While the party were being landed
the bands played German and British
national airs. Soon after the dispatch

ceived by the Prince of Wales, Duke
of Cambridge and the Duke of York,

there was tremendous cheering in the
streets when the imperial party drove
to the castle, where they were received
by Queen Victoria at 2:05.
The town was filled with excursion
lists and decorated with flags. On thu
town hall the British and German
royal standards and the stars anC
stripes hoated side by side. The win
dows and stands along the route to tn,
castle were crowded.
The emperor replying to the may

kind attention. I must tell you tina
it gives me very great pleasure to b

quently saluted in response to tn
cheers of the people.
Queen Victoria received the impe
rial travellers gracefully and after
few minutes of affectionate salutation
the emperor, the prince of Wales, th
duke of Cannaught and the duke G
York re-entered the castle quadrangl
anu AnspSCGeu tn6 BudIu' his 4mperlH
majesty afterward, went to the apart
ment prepared for him and for til
empress.
Only Family Affair.
The British newspapers all publish
ed eulogistic welcome of the empero
and empress of Germany and are strer
uously endeavoring to make politics
capital out of the visit, This view
however, is opposed by the commer
of German papers, which insist this
the trip of his majesty is purely
family affair and has no political in
portance whatever.
INSURGENTS HAVE CANNON.
