Reason for Putting In.
Surgeon Knoneck called on Collector
of Customs Hamilton this afternoon as
representative of Capt. Thierichens.
While details of the conference were
not given out. it Is said that Surgeon
Knoneck told Collector Hamilton that
the chief reason for the cruisers pres
ence in this port was to land the per-
sons who had been saved from the
various ships sent to the bottom by the
cruiser.
He is said to have stated that the
cruiser has enough fuel and provisions
to last two months. However. Capt
Thierichens is anxious to make GER
tain repairs If the necessary arrange
ments can be made.
There are $50 persons on board the
Prinz Eitel, 200 of whom are seamen
and officers from ships. while the

Started From Tsingtau.
The auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel
Friedrich started out on her career as
warship from Tsingtau more than
seven months ago. She formerly was
a regular liner of the North German
Lloyd. She reached Tsingtau shortly
after the outbreak of hostilities. and
the German marine authorities at that
port equipped her with naval guns and
turned her into an auxiliary cruiser.
She sailed from Tsingtau before the
Japanese attacked that port. and early in
November she was reported off the west
ern coast of South America. where for
several months she has been active in
the pursuit of British and French ship
ping One of her exploits was the sink
ing, early in December. of the British
steamer Charcas, off Chile. Japanese
cruisers have been described as search
ing for this German vessel persistently,
but they never could find her. The rec
ords do not show when she entered the
South Atlantic. Had she come through
the Straits of Magellan the prevailing
censorship might have prevented news
of her movements becoming known.
Desiring to avoid the straits she could
have come around Cape Horn.
Other Ships on High Seas.
With this German cruiser definitely
located in an American port there re-
main at large on the high seas out
side of German waters only three ships
of war flying the imperial flag. These
are the Kronprinz Wilhelm. an aux
iliary cruiser, last reported off the
coast of Brazil; the protected cruiser
Dresden, last reported, after the battle
off the Falkland Islands, in Chilean
waters, and the cruiser Karlsruhe,
last reported as operating in the West
Indies One report said that the
Karlsruhe had been successful in
eachins home waters.

German Embassy Notified.

Word of the arrival of the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich was communicated to the
German embassy here by her captain.
The announcement was received with
surprise. as nothing had been heard of
the vessel for many weeks, and 1T was
believed that she was somewhere Off
the coast of South America.
The only report the captain made to
the embassy was that he had put into
Newport News. He did not give any
details or ask for any instructions. His
dispatch was promptly forwarded from
the embassy here to Count Won Bern
storf. the ambassador. who is In New
York, and to the German naval attache-
Capt. Boy-Ed. who is also in New York.
After consultation 1t is believed they
will send instructions to the captain

Obregon's Denials.

The Carranza agency here issued an
other denial last night of the reports of
Gen. Obregon's activities. giving tele-
gram from Obregon himself denying that
he had interfered with the shipments of
food to the city.
It is known from reports from the
Brazilian minister that Gen. Obregon re-
fused transportation facilities for the in
ternational relief committee, which raised
fund of 250.000 pesos with which to
bring supplies into the capital to succor

had warning that he would be held per-

harm.
1t was believed among officials that with

upon to afford proper police protection,
the crisis soon would be passed without

According to the doctrine laid down
by the American government in other
cases similar to the Prinz Eitel Fried

folk must give the commander of the
German ship twenty-four hours from
the time of his arrival to take coal and
provisions.
II the ship needs repairing. however,
she has longer respite. In that case
the naval constructor at the port will
make an examination and report what
would be a reasonable time to make
the necessary repairs, and the German
ship would be given twenty-four hours
In addition to that time. Meanwhile
the American government would keep
the time of her departure a secret, SO
no unfair advantage might accrue to
hostile ships which might gather in
wait for the German auxiliary.
Another Similar Case.
Similar cases arose In connection
with the German gunboat Geier. which
was interned at Honolulu after repairs
to her machinery, and the steamer
Farm, at San Juan, Porto Rico.

the presence of British and French

Admiral Peary and the president OF
the Aero club both declare the plan
feasible. My plans are simple. We
would leave the ship, which would be
near the shore. every favorable morn
ing, flying about 500 feet high, and go
in a straight line to point IT'S miles
from shore, scanning the ice fields
with powerful glasses. Then we would
turn at right angles for 20 miles, turn
again and fly to shore parallel to the
outgoing course.
THE ship. in the meanwhile, would
have sailed to a point 20 miles east
along the coast, where she would well
| come us back.
81 would bring together the crew
and outfit at Victoria B. c., as Stefans-
son did. We should sail from home
not later than June 1, 1915. The hydro
aeroplanes would have to be thorough
| ly tried out before starting and then
could be set up either at Nome or Port
| Clarence and tried again. The date OF
sailing from Port Clarence, which has
| the best harbor on the northwest coast
of Alaska, will depend on the state of
the arctic ice pack, which generally
comes down to Boring strait late in
July or early in August.
THE hydo-aeroplanes would be of
the most reliable type, with a carrying
capacity of two men and 100 pounds.
Their tanks should hold enough fuel
for 400-mile trip, and their pontoons
should be REINFORCED and equipped
with sled runners, so that we may land
| at will on ice or water. Both ma
chimes should be of identical build
so that parts may be interchanged in

planes"
Mr.. Mcconnell believes Stefansson
has found the mysterious land he went
out to look for and is now unable to
return to his base on the north coast
of Alaska.
Mcconnell was one OF the three
members of this expedition who
gained the mainland of Alaska after
drifting about on the ice for nearly a
month. He thinks Stefansson is able
to provide for the party of three with
the two rifles and 400 pounds OF am
munition they had when last seen.
When Stefansson bade farewell to
Mcconnell and the meteorological of
the expedition he kept with him two
companions. Storkersen and Ole An
derson.
1t was quite fitting that these three
adventurous spirits should be descend
