Newport News, Va, April 6.-Great
!, er activities by officials Of the Wash

the German merchant raider Prinz
Eitel Frederick, was evident today
than at any time since the arrival OF
the cruiser at this port nearly a
month ago.
| Late yesterday. afternoon inter
changes were made between the Treas

conferred with Rear Admiral Beatty,
commander of the Norfolk Navy Yard,
and with Rear Admiral Helm on board

Hamilton boarded the Eitel and con-
ferred with her commander. At 8
o'clock the collector sleft the raider
for Hampton Roads, where he again
boarded the Alabama. Rear Admiral
Beatty and staff again visited the Eitel
late in the afternoon.
Another development was a visit of
Commander Thierichens to the Amer
lean battleship where he paid his re-
spects to Admiral Helm. Whether
any official significance was attached
to the visit could not be ascertained.
Arrival of two tugs at the Eitel's pier
