Emperor arrives at Messina

November 19, 1898

Kaiser Wilhelm II and Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria arrived today at Messina on the Italian island of Sicily.  They will "resume their voyage tomorrow."
The New York Times reports that the imperial couple "landed to meet Princess Henry of Prussia," who is en route to China to join her husband, Prince Henry, the German naval commander "in those waters."
