Washington, April 18.—From the highest official quarters it is learned that the criticism in a few German newspapers, directed against the supposed declination of the navy department here to send an American naval squadron to Kiel this summer is based upon a complete misunderstanding.
The facts are explained as follows:
"No set and formal invitation from the German government to send a squadron to Kiel was ever offered, but through semi-official channels intimations have reached Washington that the German emperor will be pleased to have the North Atlantic squadron stop at Kiel during the naval demonstration."
Secretary Moody is extremely desirous of doing anything within reason to show the warmth of the friendship which he cherishes toward Germany, and President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay have the same disposition.
