PRINCE HENRY OF PRUSSIA.

Emperor's Bro her TO Succeed Won Died.
richs in Command of Asiatic Squadron.
Berlin, March GA high official of the
German navy department has informed
the correspondent of the Associated
Press that the appointment of Prince
Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor
William, to the command of the east
Asiatic squadron had been considered
for months past and was finally de-
cided 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.
When the official referred to was
asked whether the appointment was
equivalent to the disgrace of Admiral
Won Diedrichs, he said: Not exactly
If Admiral Won Diedrichs had shown
more tact last summer, it would be
productive of better results all round
Our government unfortunately was
advised too late of a number of occur
rences before Manila, none Of which
were really important, but they showed
grave want of tact upon Admiral Won
Diedrichs' part The main trouble
was that Admiral Won Diedrichs was
insuffic1ently informed regarding inter-
national naval usages in such a delicate
situation. Consequently he continued
naval movements drill and searchlight
practice as if elsewhere than in a
blockaded port, thus arousing distrust
upon the part Of the Americans.
The above is important, as being the
first German official admission that
there had been trouble between the
Germans and Americans in Manila.

A MIRACLE.
Yacht Nellie Safe After
Thrilling Experiences.

New York, March "a special dis
patch to the Evening Post from Nor
folk, Va, says: After a succession Of
thrilling experiences, during which he
faced death many times, Capt. William
Davis of Boston arrived here today
with his sloop yatch Nellie, from Hog
Island, near Cape Charles. The Nellie
left here Jan. for Cuba with a party
of sportsmen aboard.
For nearly two months they have
been cunning around Hatteras, and
when at Bogue inlet We're caught in
the recent blizzard The crew mutt
need and refused TO go any fur n 3r.
The Nellie managed to reach HarDor
Island bar where the wind blew so
miles an hour and ice foot thick
formed on the rigging. One of the party
attempted to go ashore on sled made
of bed Stats, and when halfway broke
through the ice. For 20 minutes he
was in the water and was finally re =
cued by James Green of Madison, N. j.,
and Charles Rose of North Carolina.
The three reached shore.
The Nellie, with Capt. Davis aboard
alone, drifted out to sea. For eight
days the little vessel was buffeted
about by ice, wind and sea, and for
three days Capt. Davis could not get
a chance to eat. The Nellie finally
went ashore on Hog Island, with Capt.
Davis more dead than alive. After
making repairs, the yatch came here.
The crew and the two members of the
party had reached the Harbor Island
Gun Club and were cared for, after
which they were sent here by rail.
Capt. Davis says he went through in
describable tortures, his clothing at
times being masses of ice, and that he
and the Nellie were not lost, he con-
sders a miracle.
