WILLIAM IS DISAPPOINTED
German Emperor Anxious for Ameri

to Kiel.
BERLIN, March 28. The decision of
President Roosevelt not to send the United
States North Atlantic .quadron to Kiel for
the regatta week Is nccepted as being wise,
though Emperor William much desired the
presence of the American ships to enliven

It is understood here that the Washington
view of the case was that the visit of the
squadron to German waters would have been
considered by the European cabinets to be

shores, and the United States Navy depart;
ment was not willing to enter upon a pro
longed social campaign.
The Germans add, however, that it Is not
understood why American ships "consist
ently stay away from German ports."
Prince Henry of Prusiia, during his visit
to the United States, remarked to several
American naval officers how much be would
like to see them at Kiel and received gen
eral assurances that they would be pleased
to go there. Commander Behler, the former
naval attache of the United States at Ber
lin, In April lost, also conveyed to the Navy
department Emperor William's hope that
the American ships would call at Kiel. It
Is further remarked that the United States
European squadron touched at Italian,
French, Spanish and English harbors and
sailed up the Baltic, ctopplng at Scandina
vian and Russian ports. When Admiral
Crownlnehleld's flagship Illinois grounded
July 14, 1902, while entering the harbor of

dock It at Kiel, but Admiral Crownlngshield
refused and went to Chatham, England.
