WILLIAM is DISAPPOINTED
German per Anxious for AmerI-
can Squadron to Pay n visit
to KEEL.

BERLIN, March 2S.-The decision Of
President Roosevelt not to send the United
States North Atlantic squadron TO Kiel for
the regatta week is accepted as being wise,
though Emperor William much desired the
presence of the American ships to enliven
the annual yachting season.
It is understood here that the Washington
view of the case was that the visit of the
squadron to German waters would have been
considered by the European cabinets TO be
In the nature OF a friendly demonstration,
unless the warships also touched at other
shores, and the United States Navy Depart
ment was not willing to enter upon a pro-
longed social campaign.
The Germans add, however, that II Is not
understood why American ships Consist
emily stay away from German ports"
Prince Henry Of Prussia, during his visit
to the United States, remarked to several
American naval officers how much he would
like TO see them at Kiel and received gem
eral assurances that they would be pleased
to go there. Commander Behler, the former
naval attache OF the United States at Ber-
lin, in April last. also conveyed to the Navy
department Emperor Williams hope that
the American ships would call at Kiel. II
is further remarked that the United States
European squadron touched at Italian,
French. Spanish and English harbors and
sailed up the Baltic, stopping at Scandina-
Wan and Russian ports. When Admiral
Crowninshield's flagship Illinois grounded
July IA, 1902, while entering the harbor Of
Christiania the German admiral offered TO
dock It at Kiel, but Admiral Crowningshield
refused and went to Chatham, England.
Thus not one Of the American vessels
came to Germany, although they visited the
other principal European ports.

Patterson's associates In the case, read a
newspaper article which, he declared, had
been written with the deliberate purpose

favorable to Senator Wolcott and against
Senator Patterson.
