finally decided upon as being the most
available. the Emperor desiring to
show the American people that he Is
thoroughly friendly TO them. knowing
that Prince Henry Is popular in the
United States.

asked whether the appointment was
equivalent to the disgrace of Admiral
Won Diedrichs. he said: mot exactly.

ductive of good results all around.
The main trouble was that Admiral
Won Diedrichs was insufficientiy In.

thus arousing distrust upon the part
Of the Americans

The men continued sick. The men
then discontinued the use of the beef.

did it not occur to you that 1t was
your duty to your command to report
this state of things?" continued Col
Davis rather sharply.

said the witness, "it may have been
negligent, but at the same time the
complaint was 50 general and there
being absolutely no chance of better
