Washington, March 10.-The arrival
of the German converted cruiser.
Prinz Eitel Friedrich, at Newport
News, with the announcement thaA
during six months securing of the seas
as a commerce raider, she had sent
to the bottom vessel American OWL
ed and flying the American flag, pro-
foundry stirred officials at Washing
ton. In the absence of a detailed
story Of the sinking of the American
ship, the William Frye, off the coast
of South America, judgment is being
withheld, but there is no attempt to
deny the seriousness of the incident.
1t is conceded that on it's face it
bore the appearance of an unfriendly
act upon the part of the German
warship, and one which must result i'm
diplomatic negotiations with Ger
many.
Considered Cargo Contraband.
The substance of the information
! obtain is that the Frye was sunk
because the commander of the Eitea
held her cargo of wheat to be contra
band, but it was pointed out that the
wheat is not contraband unless it be
consigned to belligerent government
or some agent of such government.
Bound for Queenstown.
The Frye was bound for Queens
town for further orders. This decla1-
alton in the manifest is not unusual,
as the circumstances so far pointed to
the fact that the Frye, as vessel Of
a neutral nation and engaged in ,
Legitimate voyage was not subject to
seizure or destruction.
To Probe Case.
Every effort is being made by the
government to get at the bottom of
the case. Just what demands will be
made upon Germany, should the blow
ling up of the Frye be considered as
an unfriendly act, is not as yet dis
closed. The Prinz Eitel will I'M

Collector Hamilton has served the
customary notice that the Eitel must

commander desires repairs, additional
time will be allowed. The cruiser car

was not Indifferent to him, and that
she was rather bored with the idea
of titles and fortunes. But she adored
her aunt and saw, moreover, some
thing else than ribbons and velvets In
the makeup of the aunt. She saw
deeper than the polish that q long
Partisan lifetime had overlaid, and
she loved what she saw. She respected
her aunt, and knowing the older lady's
point Of view, had been timid and hest
tating until now
Now the American girl woke up, OF
rather asserted herself.

At this response her aunt suffered

toward her niece, whose eyes were on
her book.
