KRoNPRlNz WILHELM SLIPS
PAST WARsHlPs INTO NEW
PORT NEWS.
SUNK MANY MERCHANTMEN
Converted Cruiser Dropped Anchor
With Coal and Provisions Nearly
eons-Had 81 Prisoners TAX
On from English Vessel.

Newport News, Va.-The German
converted cruiser KronprinE Wilhelm,
another OF those elusive raiders Of
commerce in the south seas. slipped
into this port and asked for fuel and
provisions. Many times reported de-
stroyed, the former North German
Lloyd liner evaded hostile warships
for eight months, while she sent IA
merchantmen to the bottom, and her
officers said she was forced to steal
her way past four allied cruisers off
the Virginia capes In order to reach
this refuge.
Commander Trierfelder on his ar
rival in port explained that his ship
was badly in need OF repairs. Her bot
tom, he said, was foul and her boil
ers needed overhauling. He stated
that he would request permission to
have the repairs made here.
The sinking OF the Norwegian sail
ing ship Samantha, the only neutral
vessel sent down by the Kronprinz
Wilhelm, was almost a duplication Of
the sinking OF the American bark
William P. Frye. by the Prinz Eitel,
her sister raider
When she dropped anchor the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm had less than Is tons
Of coal and scanty provisions for the
crew OF so men and 81 prisoners from
British merchant ships sunk In the
South Atlantic. OF the IA ships that
the drab-painted, 15-0O0-ton cruiser
sank, nine we're British, four French
and one Norwegian. The value Of
these ships and their cargoes officers
Of the Wilhelm estimated at $1,000,
600.
Following in the wake Of the in
termed Prinz Eitel Frederick, which
arrived here a month ago, after sim
liar thrilling and effective operations
for the German arms, the Kronprinz
Wilhelm came dashing through the
lane Of enemy warships which had
lowered off these shores for weeks
before the Eitel was interned.
In her raid Of the seas since she
slipped out OF New York harbor Aug.

passenger steamer, the Kronprinz VIII

outstanding warrants of more than
one million dollars now and II every
dollar we're taken from the treasury
the states deficit would remain above
one million dollars, according to the
statement Of W. l.. Lancaster, state
treasurer. The state is just now en-
tering the season when collections
from taxes and other sources drop to
the minimum stage. The deficit must
continue to grow unless the legisla-
ture takes some step to relieve the
condition.
"Basing the statement Of receipts
and disbursements Of the state treas

behind an average Of 100000 a month

urer Lancaster. "At the beginning Of

Property Of state Of Mississippi Was

Of Freight Claimed ls over
s7s,ooo.Oo.

Biloxi. Miss.-In the office Of Unit
Cd States Deputy Clerk ]. C. Tyler
has been filed by Attorney G. B. Cleve-
land. IT., Of Mobile. a libel action
against the state Of Mississippi
through its board OF prison trustees
Tor the master Of the steamship Huso,
which had the contract for carrying
6,597 bales Of state cotton from Gulf
port to Copenhagen, Denmark, and for
the Gulf Oil Coke Company and the
Gulfport Export Company. The
amount involved in the action is $751;
$1,000, being freight claimed due on
S,O5s bales Of cotton for which the
master Of the boat had already re-
ceipted at the rate Of $275 per 100
pounds The cotton was levied on by
United States Marshal ]. d. Money,
who went to Gulfport for the purpose.
The cotton is stored in the warehouse
OF the G. & S. l. r. R.
The action grew out Of the pro.
posed shipment Of state cotton to Co
penhagen, Denmark, by penitentiary
trustees, and was originally consigned
20 the state Of Mississippi at Gulfport
IN care Of the steamer Huso. Upon
arrival Of the cotton the master Of
the vessel receipts for 3,059 bales,
which we're delivered at the ware
house and for which a bill Of lading
was issued.
Thinking the cotton might be seized
BY vessels Of the European nations at
war, the contract for the steamer was
abrogated by the trustees, who sold
it to Boyce & Co. Of Memphis. No
blame Is attached to Gov. Brewer,
who, It is claimed was double-crossed,
four kilograms from Brewer to the
steamship company being attached to
the petition, showing that he had fully
authorized the shipment. The case is
an important one, and since the sale
70 Boyee & Co. after delivery to the
steamer for shipment 1t has attract
ed considerable attention.
The cotton involved contains a to-
tai weight Of 21ss,316 pounds.

Vienna, via London.-Field Marshal

Later he said to a reporter Of the Neue

q found Emperor Francis Joseph In

confident.
Turkey is better prepared than
ever She has a million and quarter
Of well trained men, in addition to
several hundred thousand reserves, for

ers are interested politically in exag-
gerating news, the destruction OF the
outer forts at Sedd-El-Bahr and Kum-
Kaleh was made to appear a great vic
tory. How little Constantlnople was
