Berlin, Jan 1.-THE secretary OF the I'M
perial admiralty, Admiral Won Tirp1tz, ana
the chief of Emperor Williams personal
military staff, General Won Plessen are 10
accompany Prince Henry on the latter s
visit to the United States. The other
members of the princes suite, besides
Vice Admiral Baron Won SeckendorH ana
Adjutants Won Schwind and Won Egldy,
whose names have already been an
nounced, will be Captain Won Trotha, the
emperor's general aide de camp; Captain
Won Mueller Commander Won Grumme.
who is also an aide de camp OF the en-
peror. and Staff Surgeon Reich His
majesty definitely made these selections
to-day. Admiral Won Seckendorff, in giving
out these names, said: r
The emperor personally is making all the
arrangements that can be made on this side.
The details as to how Prince Henry shall
spend his time in tie United States are left
to Secretary Hay and Dr.. Won Holleben, but
our general idea OF the dates Is this: We
arrive. on the Kron Prinz Welhelm. Feb. Y,
at New York. Prince Henry will go on board
the Hohenzollern and will stay there till the
launching of the emperor's new yacht, which
Washington to see the president, and prob
ably will stay there several days. Then we
cake the most of the next few days in seeing
otSsr cities, returning to New York for two
more days before sail for home on the
Deutschland, March s. This general design,
you see, fills up about four weeks, one week
in going each way, and fortnight in the
United States
It was suggested to Admiral Won Seek
endorff that two weeks was not enough
for the prince to see much Of America,
and that he ought to spend a longer time
in the United States and 60 west and
south, to which the admiral replied: =,
Proposed Trip to the West.
1t would be difficult for his royal highness
to spend much longer time there, though
the Deutschlands sailing can be delayed a
day or two, if it seems desirable. An invita-
ton from Chicago is mentioned, see but
am unable to say whether it will be accepted.
That will be left to your people. Prince
Henry simply wishes to spend his time as
those at Washington may think to be to his
best advantage He looks forward with keen
interest TO the trip. and expects to get plea
sure and instruction out of it.
Regret was expressed at the fact that
the emperor could not visit the United
States. mr.
He would like to- said Admiral Won
Seckendorff, but we cannot spare him
for so long journey now"
The admiral was asked if it were pos
sible that the emperor might visit the
United States at some future time. 1T
would please him greatly answered Won
Seckendorff. 1T is not an impossibility.
Admiral Won Seckendorff visited Nor
folk in 1860 on the Prussian warship Vic
toria and was at San Francisco In 1877
on the old German warship Hertha, which
has since been replaced by new cruiser
of the same name. 49,. -.
Emperor William has ordered the
Hohenzollern to be fitted out with all the
accessories used when his majesty is OF
board the yacht.
The Lokal Anzeiger to-day prints the
following:

Henry to meet the prominent New Yorl
yachtsmen and invite them to participate il
the KEEL regattas, beginning June 26. Primes
Henry will also ask the president to permit
