KRONPRINz WILHELM
 NEEDS BOILER TUBES
Three Weeks Needed to Procure
 and Install Them.

Newport News, Va, April 14-The German commerce raider Kronprinz Wilhelm, it was learned today, is in need of boiler tubes, which cannot be supplied at this port and must be manufactured elsewhere. To procure and install the tubes, it is said, would require at least three weeks.
 Expecting to receive permis- sion from Washington to move into dry dock, Captain Thierfel- der of the German commerce raider Kronprinz Wilhelm today ordered his vessel made ready to proceed up the James river. The examining board from the Norfolk navy yard was due at any time to check upon his outline of repairs necessary to make the ship seaworthy.
 Inquiry Not Completed.
 The German commander did not
 complete his inquiry into the nation ality of members of the Wilhelm's
 crew last night, as requested by Col lector Hamilton, but promises to as certain today whether any natural
 ized Americans are aboard the ship. At least one American is believed to be- long to the crew.
 Details of the sinking of the British steamship Bellevue, one of the Will helms fourteen victims, were related today by members of the crew, re- vealing that the British ship was held as a prize for sixteen days before she was sent to the bottom. The Bellevue was bound from Liverpool to South American ports with 4,000 tons Of | coal, ,000 cases of whiskey and some | oxen, when she was captured by the l Wilhelm December 4 last She was | moored to the Wilhelm with strong
 cables and stripped. of everything of

 was sighted the Bellevue was left in

 sank the Frenchman by ramming. 1 Then, on December 20, after all move l able parts were securely lashed down, in order that noghting might me left floating upon the surface to give the l British cruisers a clue as to the Will | helms whereabouts the Bellevue was sent to the bottom.
