Washington June l0.--Germany in
note on the case Of the William p Frye,
an American ship sunk by the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich, has informed the United States
that it interprets the Prussian- American
treaty OF 1898 to mean that American yes

struction but the right to destroy Is as
serted as logical inference from the lam

In reiterating that she stands ready to
pay damages for the losses to American
citizens occasioned by the sinking of the
Frye. Germany insists that prize court
must first pass on the legality of the cap
ture of the vessel. The argument ad
vanced by the United States that a prize
court Is unnecessary since compensation
is promised whenever there is a violation
of the treaty OF 1895. is rejected. The
liability for the sinking of the FRYE is
still admitted but Germany contends the
case was not "a violation" OF the treaty.
