officials were unanimous In their
opinion and II was shared largely by
diplomatists. too that the commander
OF the Prinz Eitel had no right to send
the Frye to the bottom. 1t was con
sidered probable by the officials that
the German government, after being
apprised OF the facts. would admit the
error Of the naval commander and
agree to make the usual reparation.
Some officials thought sufficient
amends, after the payment OF damages,
would be the court martialing OF the
German officer.
