Will Send Prince Henry to
This Country.
FRIENDLY MESSAGES ARE EXCHANGED
Royal Yacht HOhcnzOllern and the
EmperOr's Brother to Attend =
the Chrtstcning of Vessel
Building Here.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-Thc latest
evidence Of the fricndlincss of Elm
peror William of Germany has come
In the form of message to President
Roosevelt announcing that lie would
send his brother, Prince Henry. to this
country to attend the launching of the
kaiser's yacht now building at the ship
yards of Townsend Il Downey, New
York. The following is the text of the
emperors message, which WAS in Eng
lish:
Il am most gratiicd by your kind
permission for Miss Roosrvelt's per
forming the christening ceremony of
my yacht. 1t gives me great pleasure
to announce to you that have or
dered my yacht the HohrnzoIern, to
mony. My brother, Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia, will appear as my
representative and will be able TO ex-
press to YOU once more my sincere
feelings and friendship for the United
States ana their ilustrolls head"
President Roosevelt replied as follows
In German:
Your majesty's intention to send
over your yacht, the IIohrnzollern, to
attend The christening by my daughter
of your new yacht is the source of
great pleasure and satisfaction to me.
| can assure you Il hearty welcome for
your brother. Admiral Prince Henry,
to whom ! shall personally express my
sincere feelings of esteem for your
majesty as we'll as my best wishes for
the welfare Of the German people"
dispatch from Berlin says that the
length of Prince Henrys stay in the
United States Is undetermined and will
depend in part upon the wishes of
President Roosevelt and the pro-
gramne for his entertainment. The
sending of Prince Henry to America is
regarded by the court as another evi-
dence of the emperor's desire TO win the
good will of the American people and
government for Germany. In the last
few weeks the emperor has shown to
ambassador White and to Mrs. White
various marks of his consideration ANA
has sent to President Roosevelt a per-
SOnal letter expressing his esteem and
later requested that the presidents
daughter christen his najrsty'S new

DISPUTE UNSETTLED.
Question Of Arbitration a Hard One
For Pam Americans,

For Pam
CITY OF MENICO, Jan. 13.-The
meetings fixed for yesterday morning
between the representatives of the
American. Mexican, Argentine and Pc
ruvian delegation to the pan-American
conference for the purpose of definite
ly settling the arbitration dispute did
not take place, as tie Mexican repre-
sentatives ashed for further post
ponemcnt Oh account of not having
been able to consult with President
DaZ.
In the meantime the Argentines and
their friends are getting tired of delays
and say that If they shall be prolonged
beyond reasonable point they will
take them as equivalent to definite
rejection of their claims to have the
compulsory plan pass through the con.
ference, and they will withdraw.
The Chileans, on the other hand,
have not abatrd their demand that the
compulsory plan shall not be reported
to the conference and drop all sorts Of
mysterious hints about what they will
do if ii Shall be. The Chileans base
their claims not only on the general
understanding that nothing disagreca-
bic TO Chile was to be discussed by the
conference. but upon the alleged verb
al and specific promise that the subject
of compulsory arbitration should not
be brought up The MexicanS say the
Chileans misunderstood the real i'm.
port Of this interview. Nevertheless at
the present moment it looks very much
as if the chlcans would have their
way, though il is impossible to make
any certain forecast.
