Elaborate Preparations.
Berlin. January 15-The latest arrange
ments in connection with the visit of
Admiral Prince Henry OF Prussia to the
United States Is that the Prince will meet
the imperial yacht Hohenzollern at
Hampton Roads and sail thence to New
York.
Elaborate preparations are being made
for social entertainments on board the
Hohenzollern. By the Emperor's special
order a splendid silver service has been
sent to Kiel from the royal silver treas
ure in the old Schloss His majesty
personally inspected the treasures and Sc
lected the service which is to be used on
board the Hohenzolern on special occa-
sions. Emperor Williams programme Is
that Prince Henry shall reciprocate the
New York and Washington festivities
with a grand banquet on board the Ho-
henzollern, inviting the President, the
members of the cabinet and others.
To Care for vauables.
The Curator of the silver treasures goes
to the United States on the Hohenzol
lern to take care of the valuable wares.
Admiral Count Won Baudissin, who is to
command the imperial yacht Hohenzol-
lenr on her forthcoming visit to New
York to take part in the ceremony incl
dent to the launching of Emperor Will
liams new yacht, arrived here yester-
day. He will go to Potsdam to see His
Majesty prior to sailing for the United
States.
Admiral Count Won Baudissin after re-
ceiving Emperor Williams personal in
structions, returned to Keil.
German naval officers are eager for
assignments to accompany Prince Henry
to the United States and many noblemen
are bringing influence to bear to obtain
appointments for this duty.
The list of possible appointments Is
several times larger than the suite which
can be sent with Prince Henry. This pres
sure to secure places may cause the
Princes suite to be enlarged. The lack
of accommodations for a number of per-
sons on board the Hohenzollern ia the
real reason why Prince Henry does sail
on the Imperial yacht.
