THREATS TO BLOW
UP GERMAN CRUISER
Reason for American Military Guard
Over Prinz Eitel Friedrich Is Ex-
planned.

NEWPORT, NEWS, Va, April l.
That the captain OF Prinz Eitei Fried
rich has no intention of leaving his
neutral refuge for several days was
learned today and it also became
known that he is negotiating for sup
plies. Supplies for the trip to the near
est German port have been asked for
by the captain and under the neutral
ity laws they viii be permitted to 90
aboard. The chief reason for sending
American military forces to guard the
German cruiser is because threats to
blow up the ship have been received.
Immediately after the Eitel reached
port anonymous threats began to pour
in upon the captain. The German com
mander today was in q jolly frame of
mine over coaling his ship. He had less
than 200 tons of fuel on board when
the barges reached here last, night.

for the plan The group at san Antonio
known as the peace convention. is said
to have been interested in this scheme.
According to Llorente it was originally
planned that Huerta should be brought

a remnant Of the old Huerta army which
never has been entirely disintegrated
