According to the doctrine laid down by the American government in other cases similar to that of the Prina Kitel Kriedrich the collector of customs must communicate with the vessel and gi '0 the captain 24 hoors in which to take on coal and provisions. If there are repairs to be made the respite may be longer. In that case the naval contractor examines the damage to the vessel and reports what he thinks would be a reasonable time in which the repairs could be made and the German ship Would be given 24 hours additional time to leave. in the meantime the American gov ernment would keep secret the time of the vessel's departure in ordr that no unfair advantag might accrue to hostile vessels which might have gath ered to await .for the German ship. Officials here are of the opinion that the presence of British and French Warship close to the Atlantic coast Plight influence the German warship to interne here. How the Prinz Eitel Kriedrich may get through the closely pa'rolled waters is a subject of much j .speculation. i The disposition of the prisoners of: war on. .the German ship has raised another question. They will possibly lip paroled. Officials here await information be fore taking any action. Word of the arrival of the German vessel was com- j munieated to. the German embassy by ! the captain. The announcement was , received with surprise as nothing hart j been heard of the cruiser, for many ; weeks. It was believed the vessel was i nmcuhere off the South American! coast. The only report that the cap-! tftSn made was that he had put in at. Newport News. He gave no details and asked for no instructions. 1 With the definite location of .the Prinz Kitel Friedrich there remains at large exclusive of ships in German waters only three German warships. These are the Kron Prinz Wilhelm, the auxiliary cruiser: the protected cruiser Dresden; and the cruiser Karl sruhe. .
