EITEL FREDERICK
FINALLY INTERNES
NEWPORT NEWS, April S—In spile
of tho repeated statements of tho ship's
officers that the German cruiser Prince
Bltel Frederick would put lo sea on the
completion of the needed repairs for
which purpose a request for time was
asked, tho announcement is made to
day on the authority of Iho harbor
officials that the big German ship has
interned.
The vessel had taken aboard a con
siderable quantity of coal and provi
sions and apparently was making all
possible preparation to put to sea
hence the sudden determination to in
terne has occasioned no little surprise
although it has been frequently pro
phesied by the leading papers that
such was the ultimate intention.
Tho Frederick steamed up yesterda>
morning Hiving rise to the belief that
she tvns preparing to proceed to sea,
and a report to that effect was widely
dissimulated. The vessel, however, re
mained at tier dock until early this
morning when ii was announced that
she would remain The vessel has
moved to a new docking place and the
work of disarmament 1ms commenced.
Tlie reason for the sudden change of
determination is said to lie in the.con
tents of several messages exchanged
between the ship officers and Hie Her
