 New York, Feb. 29.-Prince Henry O Prussia, representative of his brother the emperor of Germany, at the launch ing of the latters American bull yacht. reached New York to-day ant was cordially welcomed as the guest o the nation. The land batteries lha' guard the outer harbor sounded the first greeting in a ponderous salute ol twenty-one guns, the rifles of specla naval squadron assembled in his honol
  verbal greetings from the representa- tives of President Roosevelt, the army, the navy and the city of New 1ofk, ana a great crowd lined the way into the city to see and cheer the sailor prince of Germany
 The great storm against which the Kronprinz Wilhelm had struggled TOT days and which had glazed the Atlantic coast in an armor of ice had lost US force and resigned it's sway to warm sunshine and cheery blue skies, so there were no regrets that the royal guest was a full day late for the entertain ment provided for him. The genius or Marconi. reaching out from the storm swept coast had definitely located the belated liner and made certain the hour that she would reach Sandy HOOK There was a curtain off the hook early this morning and it was after o'clock before the watchers caught the shad- owy outlines of the cautiously ap- preaching liner.
 "Trip Up the Bay
 Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, com- mander of the special squadron and honorary aide to the prince, left the flagship Illinois at $40 o'clock in the naval tug Nina. With him were Cap tain G. A. Converse his chief of staff, Flag Lieutenant Frederick Chapin, En- sign Frank T. Evans, aide, and Cap tain Won Rebeur- -Paschwitz naval at tache at the Washington embassy of the German government. They were all in full dress uniform. The Nina met the Kronprinz beyond Fort Wadsworth and. swinging around on the starboard side of the liner, steamed up the bay. Prince Henry, attired in the uniform of an admiral of the German navy and surrounded by his naval and military staff in brilliant uniform, stood on the bridge of the liner. As the naval tug drew nearer to the side of the steam ship, Prince Henry and Admiral Evans caught sight of one another and ex- changed informal salutes The dis tance from steam to tug was too great for conversation however. As the two vessels with flotilla of tugs and official craft moved in past Fort Wadsworth the first of the salutes of tWenty-one guns was fired. As the first gun sound ed the prince advanced to the end of the bridge of the ,Kronprinz and stood at attention As he passed the big Amerian flag floating over the fortifica- tions he touched his cap in salute and the members of his suite did likewise. The flag at the jackstaff of the Kron- bring was dipped and the German naval band accompanying the prince played the Star Spangled Banner. The guns of Fort Wadsworth were not silent before those across the Narrows at Fort Ham Ilton boomed out their salute. When that ceremony was over the Kronprinz was stopped and the Nina hauled around to her portside and Admiral Ev- ans and his staff boarded her. The were gathered on the main deck and there was hearty cheer as the admiral came up the gangway.
