America To- Represent Latter at
Launching of Royal Yacht

BERLIN, January 15.-It was am
nounced today that the Government
had decided that Prince Henry the
brother of the Emperor William shall
sail for the United States on the Kron
Prinz Wilhelm of the North German
Lloyd line February 10 where he will at
tend the launching of the Emperors
new yacht which is now being con-
struced at Shooters Island.
Cabins have been engaged for suit
of fifteen persons. The vessel, though
taking other passengers VIII first touch
at Newport News, where Prince Henry
and his party Will be transferred to the
Hohenzollern, which is going there, and
not to HOboken, N. j.. The movements
Of the yacht thereafter have not been
absolutely determined upon. The pres,
ent programme is to ascend the Poto-
mac river to Washington, where Prince
Henry will exchange calls with Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Prince Henry and the
President may then go to the launching
together. This portion of the program
viii depend, of course, on its acceptance
at Washington
II Is probable that when the Hohen-
ZOllern takes off Prince Henry from the
liner she will be escorted from the lower
bay down to Sandy HOOke by Admiral
Dewey's old flagship, the Olympia, or
the San Francisco, which has been the
flagship of the European squadron.
Both of these fine ships have been al
most completely reconstructed.
The Hohenzollern will be commanded
by Admiral Count Baudissin, whose
stan includes Captain Won Holleben, a
kinsman of the German ambassador at
Washington, and will be manned by her
usual crew.
TIL band of the Second Naval Divi-
sion, which will be on board the Hohen-
zollern, is one of the two crack bands
of the German navy
NEW YORK, January 13.-Emperor
Williams yacht is to be christened
Alice. This announcement is stated to
be on the authority of Henry G.. Bar
bey a member of the firm which de-
signed the yacht. Mr.. Barley stated
that this information was unofficial but
he does not doubt its authenticity. The
name Alice was given the yacht in
| honor of Miss Alice Roosevelt daughter
of President Roosevelt. who is to chris
ten the yacht, and for a cousin of the
Emperor whose name is also Alice. The
cOunsin in question is thought to be the
Czarina of Russia, who was the Prin-
cess Alike Of Hesse granddaughter of
Queen Victoria.

perOr's yacht, it is understood has been
| fixed for February 26th
