Special Cable to The New York Times.
    BERLIN, April 28.— The new Hamburg-American liner Imperator returned yesterday to Cuxhaven.
    A statement issued by the Hamburg-American Company explains that the trial was satisfactory as far as the speed and handling of the ship were concerned, but two of the bearings of one of the turbines became overheated, and these will have to be removed, so the trials cannot be resumed before May 15, and the official trials, when the Crown Prince will, it is expected, be on board, must be postponed till the the second half of May.

    Special Cable to The New York Times. 
    LONDON, Tuesday, April 29.— The Times, says large insurances on the Imperator were effected by the owners in the London market at the end of last week for a period of one month. These insurances, which amounted to some £300,000, ($1,500,000,) were in addition to policies for about £400,000 effected in Hamburg some time ago.
    Had the trial been satisfactory the owners would have taken possession immediately afterward.
