Fair gentle ; MB Terror of the Seas Docks at ' Newport News for Coal and Repairs HASSU Prinz Eitel Friedrich Has on Board Hundreds of Prisoners Newport News, Va March 10. Scarred with the rust of many months it ea and the two funnels crusted with the salt from ocean waves through which she has battled for seven - months since leaving Tsing, China, destroying commerce, the Ger man converted cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich slipped, into Newport News this morning for coal, provisions and repairs. The vessel dropped anchor di rectly in front of the pier of the War wick Machine company and the litttle joast guard cutter Onondaga, which had dogged the ivessel from the time ihe passed into the capes, dropped anchor directly astern, prepared to snforce the neutrality of the Unit ed States. The principal object of coming into Mewport News, according to Captain Thierichs, commander of the Eitel Friedrich, was to land 360 prisoners taken from vessels sunk during the raid on commerce. The prisoners are composed of Rus s'ans, English, French, Portuguese and Turks, men, women and children, including twenty-live of the prew and Captain Kighne, of Baltimore, of the American ship William T. Frye, and his wife. The William T. Frye was unk on the morning of-January 27, In the South Atlantic, for carrying contraband of war wheat from Se attle for Queenstown. The Eitel Friedrich is a converted Xorth German Lloyd liner and is armed with three eight-inch guns and ten five-inch guns. The hull, to de seiwe belligerent warships, is painted white on one side and black on the other. Coal and provisions requisite to I care for the crew of 350 men, includ-1 ing thirteen officers and ten orientals, ; during the long :vigil at sea had been j requisitioned from the numerous ves-1 by German cruiser. sels sent to the bottom of the ocean.

"We will make repairs and go back ; to sea," he shouted over the side, j "We have not been' captured so far' and we will take more chances." Washington, March 10. The Ger-. man embassy received a message late1 today from the German consul at Nor- J folk anouncing the arrival of Eitel Friedrich at Newport News. It was stated at the embassy that. . according to the information from the Norfolk consul, the cruiser put intc port to land the crews it had taken : from enemy ships it destroyed on the high seas. The embassy expressed the belief that the cruiser would leave within the twenty-four-hour limit. The treasury department announced this afternoon O at the treasury au- j thorities at Newport News and Nor folk had taken charge of the Eitel Friedrich and that the usual rules1 would be applied. If the vessel needs only coal andi provisions she will be permitted to on sumcieni supplies to enable ! her to reach the nearest home port (and be compelled to leave within twenty-four hours. If she Is badly in j need Of repairs she will be allowed ' time to make such repairs, at the con- ; elusion of which she must leave port. The vessel has the alternative, how-: ever. in any case of interning at the: Virginia port for the duration of the ; war.

Carranza, bnother of the Mexican leader, who is fighting believed the British and French can divert enough cruisers in the direction of Norfolk to make the destruction of the German vessel most probable. In these circumstances it is thought like ly that the commander of the Eitel Rriedrich will decide to intern his vessel. New York, March 10.- -If as report ed there are French and Russian pris oners of war on board the Prinz Eitel Friedrich an interesting question of international law and the need of a careful interpretation of our duties as a neutral nation Will be raised shouk' the commander of the German vessel decide to intern her at Newport News in order to avoid capture by thp French and British cruisers patrolling the coast: What disposition will be made of the 350 prisoners, in the eVent of internment, is a problem tha Washington authorities will be eaUed upon to answer. -According to the several authorities on the relation ofneutral and bellig erents It would appear the French and Russians would cease to be captives when internment begins and would either bo returned Ho their respective1 countries by tins government or in terned here so as to prevent their fu ture participation in the war.

Frye which was sunk by the Ger man convorted cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich on the morning of January 28, made the following statement: "Despite my protestation that 1 was the American master of an American ship the Eitel sank the William P. Frye on the morning of January 28. She blew a gaping hole through her vitals with a charge of dynamite. "I was almost becalmed when the Otrman ship appeared- about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of January 27. My ship was barely moving. I paid no attention to" the. iirst.orilsr from the Dutchman to lay' to. However, "he bore down on me and I brought my craft to a standstill. "After learning that I carried a car go of wheat the German captain told me it was contraband and he intended to destroy it. I protested but no at tention was paid to my statements. "A German officer and a squad of men were sent aboard the bark and I and my crew wrs set to work throwing th$. grain overboard. The German sighted another vessel, also calmed, and he made for her. He re turned about 10 o'clock at night hav ing sent 'the other ship to the obttom, as I afterwards learned. "Evidently the grain was not being thrown overboard fast enough to suit the German skipper for he sent half a hundred of his men aboard soon af terwards and the work went on four hours without interruption. However, it wa slow at best and I was inform ed tne next morning that my ship would be sent to the bottom which was done in the manner described. "It was originally intended by the German captain to leave enough of the cargo in the hole of the ship for a ballast. That part of the grain was to be rendered useless by salt water. f DAVID of the .band of dynamiters which wrecked the Ixs Anceles Times Oc toler 1, 19H. ami fur which th- Mr Namara brothers .ire sen ins sen tence following the confession of Ortie McManigle. most imposing funerals held in Mexi co in recent years.

Norfolk, Va.. March 10. Captain Ktehne says he ordered the destruc inn of thp American fTVk William T Frye because she caTried contraband of war. He says he and other offl - cers of his ship held a conference and it was decided that the cargo of wheat r.atcA hv th'p.

The three eight-inch guns and the eight five-inch guns, we mounted, came from two boats which we dismantled. "We passed out through the Japa nese islands and eluded a number of English, French and Japanese shiDs.

Only two obstacles may be encount red to prevent Thaw's appearance or lie stand.

Warden Hanley. of the Tombs, was sent for and declined o accept responsibility saying it was ihe sheriff's duty to look -he prisoner.

Thereupon Jus tice Page ordereil Henley to provide i priva'e room in the Tombs in which Thaw could he looked after during the nighi.

Washington, March 10. Sir Cecil Spring Kiee. the British ambassador, sonveyed to the state department to day he first practical suggestion as to how the constant, local international scandals at. the Mexican capital might be avoided in the future. The suggestion simply is that rail way communication between Mexi co City and Vera Cruz should always be maintained inviolate and thac such conditions should be insisted upon absolutely. This suggestion came through the British ambassador from Mr. Holer, the British charge d'affaires at. Mexi co City. As it was made public by the state department after a call there of the British ambassador it is understood that Mr. Holer-speaks ad visedly and on too authority of the home government. The text of Mr. Holer's dispatch is as follows: "In my opinion the effect of the American note to Carranza and Obre gon has been extremely good. It is, however, absolutely necessary that immediate steps should be taken for sending supplies of food and forage to the capital. "Whatever party is in power in Mexico City and Vera Cruz it is now plain I hat. the best means to prevent the recurrence of such a situation as now exists .would be to insist abso lutely on the local troops maintain ing inviolate the railway communica tion between Mexico City and Vera Cruz." It is reasonably certain that Great Britain, Spain and other nations wi take up with the United States the necessity of keeping the railway lines and other communications with Ihe national capital open. In China it was necessary to do this by interna tional agreement. So far, however. Secretary Bryan has Indicated that this government proposed to act alone with reference to Mexican at- fairs. Secretary "of State Bryan announc ed today that he had no information to show that any of the 2,500 Ameri can citizens m .Mexico uuy nns evinced a desire to leave their homes and property in Mexico at the sug gestion of the president made to them on March .I. While Mr. Bryan has made no ex planation other officials' of the de partnient say that a large majority of the citizens of Mexico have been out spoken in their unwillingness to get out of the country and leave their property behind them without tin; protection of the American govern ment as there is no Mexican govern ment. In short the Americans who have remained in Mexico seems, ac cording to officials, to entertain the Nview that they and their property should be protected where they are. Tin; amount of property, Including investments of American citizens, at the opening of the Wilson administra tion is estimated by officials here as about one billion one hundred mil lion dollars. The citizens of Great Britain in Mexico owned at that time about half a billion dollars. CONCENTRATING FIRE. The Queen Elizabeth It Leading in Attack cn the Dardanelles. l,i'ii.bm. Match 1".
