GERMAN CRUISER NOW
TAKING ON SUPPLIES;
MA Y MAKE DASH TO SEA
a.
Newport News, A'a., April 2ti. - The
German cruiser Krou l'rinz Willieliii.
which has been i;i this port two weeks
lor repairs, early this morning was
towed from the James river to the
Chesapeake and Ohio Steel coal pier,
where she will take on between :!riiii
and 4,(ihl tons of bunker coal which
was ready at the pier.
The coaling process will take all of
today and mont of tomorrow.
The Williclm also will take on about
a ten days supply of water and pro
visions, this being the estimated time
she should require to make the near
est German port The formal request
for provisions and fuel was made
several days a no. Collector llamillol
slated today, and after con.sideralio".
was allowed. Further than this the
collector would not talk because of
the danger of violating neutrality.
Installation of boiler tubes and oth
er Inside repairs were completed yes
terday, it. was said here today, and
('apt. Thierfelder will be in a condi
tion to attempt a dash past, the en
emy's warships lying in wait off the
capes or give notice that he desires to
interne within the next few days, il
is staled. It is believed the time
limit allowed by the government for
repairs to the sea raider expires Fri
day or Saturday. The olticers and
crew of ihe Wilhelin insist that they
will again put to sea to resume their
voyage.
Commander Thierfelder and the
collector were in close conference all
yesterday afternoon and it was re
ported this morning that the collect!),'
olllcially informed the captain of the
rapidly approaching day for the ln
(Lslon as to interneinout or depart
ure from this port.
It is understood that on leaving
the coal pier the captain will make
formal request of the port authorities
for a river patrol to guard his ship
against any possible hostile attacks.
It is known that the German comman
der has received several "unpleas
ant" communications since he has
been in port, altho they did not In
elude as strong threats as those ad
dressed lo the I'rin. Kitel Friedrich.
Launches from the Norfolk navy yard
will probably be detailed to tile duty.

ANNIVERSARY OF PHA&AN

Syracuse, N Y, April 2fi The
cross -examination of Colonel Koosevelt
In the names libel suit was continued
today. It was the former president'!
lifth day on the stand.
Colonel Roosevelt's lestlnionjr today
was preceded by Inlrodiicthin Into the
records of several letters and stipula
tions between counsel that depositions
of four unnamed witnesses outside the
slate should have the same efTwit aa
If the witnesses had appeared on the
stand.
One of tho letters written by lluruea
discussed Governor Hughes and said
should Hughes be reelected he would
set up a political machine and thai all
politicians who opposed him would
have to get out of politics. 1
Colonel Roosevelt, in his reply, aald:
"Yesterday I saw Sherman Dennett,
Geo. Smith, Cooks and Hitchcock,
chairman nf the nations! committee,
here. 1 havu been carefully going into
the Hughes matter since I saw you.
I appreciate to Ihe full the forco of th
arguments- you urged against hta re
iioniliiBtlon. It Is not pleasant for me
to support a man who lias behaved
badly to Ihe very men who did moat
for bis election, I would approve his
turning them down in the public inter
est but I object to its being done wan
tonly. "Moreover I appreciate that he has
alienated quite needlessly very many
vtders ami that if we hail the right
mail to put In bis place (the right man
from the standpoint of Retting; Votes)
I should say that it was certainly wis.
to nominate such a man. Hut no such
man la In night. While therefore I
want to disclaim any Intention qf
seeming lo dictate the nomination, I
think I ought to tell you my Judgment
Is that the convention ought to nomi
nate liliu."
"I am sunt (list the delegate from
this district will be for him. I may
add that every one present agreed to
keep absolutely quiet III this matter
and lo consult with you before liny
kind of conclusion was iiiiuoiiliceil but
from tin' paper I Should Judge some
one has talked."
A i npv of the above letter was sent
to Herbert Famous. On August 2t,
I'.MiH, Colonel Roosevelt wrote lo Mr.
Haines from WnshltiKtiin
"Mont emphatically whatever my
fi lends do up n Albany I nhall stand
by them. I have given them my best
Judgment Now If you iiiul thos. like
you fear that I slinll ask you to rut
your throats your feur is groundless."
