Vessels Are Alleged to Have
Been Equipped for Pri
vateering. New York, March 8.--I'dcral inves
tigation was begun today of Un
charges that German ships at Ho
boken have been armed and provided
with coal for a dash into the Atlantic
ocean to attack llritish and French
shipping.
The "neutrality snuad" of the New
York custom house was sent to Hobo
ken to inspect the Hamburg-American
liner Vaterland and the North Ger
man liner George Washington.
The squad, consisting of twenty men
had orders to make a complete search
Of the vessels.
Destroyers May Form Patrol.
It was also reported at the custom
house that one or more United States
destroyers bad been ordered by the
Navy Department to patrol the waters
off New York to prevent the escape of
the German ships.
The Information that a fleet of Ger
man merchant ships was being fitted
out for privateering service was con
tained in a confession by Richard P.
Stegler. who was indicted in the pass
port scandal. Among the big .German
ships owned by the North German
Lloyd line and the Hamburg-American
line that are now lying in New York
waters are the l'resident Grant, the
President Lincoln, I'rinz Kitel Franz,
Prims Joachim, George Washington,
Vaterland, Hamburg, Pennsylvania,
Koenlg Wilhelm II, and the Prinzess
Irene.
Alleged to Be Armeg,
The flagship of the fleet is the Va
terland, one of the biggest, fastest, and
finest liners afloat.
According to Stegler theso vessels
are being secretly armed with a tor
pedo gun of new make, which Is manu
factured in Brooklyn. Many important
political conferences, relative to Ger
man affairs, are held upon these ships,
where absolute secrecy Is assured,
said Stegler.
Is a Usual Precaution.
Officials of the treasury department
said last night that the boarding oT
the German steamers Vaterland and
George Washington at Hoboken by
customs Inspectors was not a meas
ure "much out of the ordinary" these
days.

VIEW of CONSTANTINOPLE. INCLUDING
THE FAMOUS MOSOUE c SOFIAT
This photograph Bhows a section of
the ancient city of Constantinople, on
the Hosphorus, which for hundreds of
years lias witlistood the efforts of
Europeans to net It from the posses
sion of the Turks, but which is about
to fall. In the background at tlii
right is seen the great .Mosque of
Sophia, the most important church
edifice of the Mohammedan world.
General D'Aniade, in command of
an army made up of Australians,
French, Senegalese and others has
landed on the peninsula of Galllpoli,
and as the allied fleets bombard the
forts along the Dardanelles he Is
advancing on the city'. At the same
time Kssad Pasha, a famous Turkish
commander (not the Kssad Pasha who
rebelled in Albania), is marching thru
Asia Minor with an army which was
meant to invade Kgypt. That plan
having been given up, bis soldiers are
on their way to defend the city against
General D'Amadae.
However, a dispatch has come from
Europe in which the statement Is
made that the Turks, on the approach
of the fleet, will not defend the city.
but will quit it for Asia in order that
Christian guns will not butter down
the ancient mosques.
The people of the city will be
pleased to know that Secretary
of the Navy Jose phut Daniels
has accepted an Invitation 1;o
deliver an address here on Sun
day afternoon, March 28, under
the auspices of the Young

tended to organize early, to have no
factions, and to make a winning cam
