CAPT. COGHLAN TOO FRANK.
His Criticism of Germnns at Manila
piMapprONed in Official Circles.

The German ambassador, DR. Won Hole
ben, called on Secretary Hay today, and his
visit led to the report that the attention of
the State Department had been called to
the remarks of Capt. Coghian of the
cruiser Raleigh, at a New York banquet
last night, relating his personal observa-
tiCns of a rebuke and threat administered
by Admiral Dewey to the German naval
commanders at Manila. 1t was stated posi-
lively, however, that no protest or repre-
sentation to the Stat= Department was
made. 1t is understood to be the view in
German quarters that this is q matter in
which the United States authorities should
be left to take the initiative.
At the same time il is known that Capt
CCEhlan's remarks cause considerable dis
pleasure in high diplomatic and naval quar-
ters, mainly because they are contrary to
the policy which the two governments have
adopted of giving as little public exprss
sion as possible to the friction which may
have occurred at Manila. This policy, 1t Is
said, has been dictated by the desire to
maintain cordial relations between Ger
many and the United States, despite any
personal ruptures which may have occurred
during the stress Of war.
Under such circumstances the franknesS
with which Capt. COghlan tells of what the
officials here have thus far held as secret
and have taken occasion at times to deny
is felt to be rather in contravention of the
naval and political policy of the govern
ment.
In naval quarters there is disposition to
regard Capt. Coghlan's statements as Civ
ing some rather ugly truths, which have
heretofore been glossed over on grounds of
public policy. The responsible naval Off
cials have, however, shared the policy of
minimizing the friction at Manila. but
owing, however. to Capt. Coghlan's splen-
did services. they are not disposed to be
aptiOus in their comments on his alleged
indiscreet uttcrances In criticism of the
German commanders.

Unexpected Delay in the Negotiations
for Iodus tiyendt,

An unexpected delay has occurred in the
negotiations toward an Alaskan boundary
modus vivendi which makes the future of
the modus quite probemaIcal, Recent
conferences on the subject have been far
from encouraging. The principal difficulty
arises from dealing with Ottawa as well
as London, this dual negotiation causing
great delay and complication. At the out
set the United States proposed a modus,
with a temporary line along certain peaks.
The British ambassador forwarded this to
London and Ottawa. The Canadian off,
cials have now proposed changes in the
line, and after considerable delay the au-
thorities in London approve the changes
proposed by Canada. 1t IS not stated what
the respective lines are, but they are suf-
hctently apart to make II quite unlikely
that any immediate agreement can be
reached, even of a temporary nature, as to
the boundary.

PURE INVENTION.
Germany Did Not Ask for a CoaIing
station in the Philippines.

In official German quarters an emphatic
denial was given out today to the report
published in a London newspaper and ca
bled 10 this country to the effect that during
the Spanish-American war Germany re-
quested of the United States a coaling sta
ton in the Philippines the request being
refused on the ground that it was prena-
ture; also that Germany requested that the
United States should not annex the Caro-
line Islands, as Germany had prior interests
in the group.
Those who would be personally and fully
acquainted with such important negotia-
dous by Germany say that the report is
pure invention throughout: that Germany
al no time made request for coaling
station in the Philippines, nor was the
United States requested to refrain from an
neXing the Carollnes The report IS charac-
terized as so absurd that it would not be
dignified with ar official denial II II were
not regarded as an effort to recreate preiu-
dice against German interests.

MANY APPLY IN PERSON.
Few Census Hureau Appointments to
Ee Made in Less Than a Year


One Of the greatest difficulties which the
officials of the census bureau are having
IS to convince applicants for places that
no considerable number of appointments
will be made for a year Five thousand
applications are on file in the census office
and every day there is a throng of people
waiting to make inquiry regarding the
probability of receiving appointments
Those who call are not only new applicants.
but people who have had applca tfons on file
for months, who call now and then to see
how business is progressing and to ask if
anything has been done in their cases.
While several persons are discussing with
the director of the census the question of
providing building for the bureau no def
mite proposition has yet been received
though 1t is expected offers will be made
within week or ten days. The bureau
must be located in permanent quarters by
January l, 1900, that if building for
its occupancy is to be specially constructed
work on it must be begun in a very short
time.

that the administration has discovered

President Mckinley will be accompanied
to Philadelphia on the 9th, to attend the

has been decided that the presidential party
will go on board the cruiser Raleigh and
honor the officers and sailors of that vessel
with their presence. 1t is doubtful II any
speeches Will be made while the President
is away. The program for the trip has not
been made out, but the President now con-
templates leaving here early in the morn
Ing of the 9th and returning that evening.
If he is kept in Philadelphia longer than
expected he will return on the night of the
same day he goes away.
Several suggestions have recently been

Secretary Longs Statement.

Secretary Long in answer to direct in
qulry said that specifically and cogently the
statement was erroneous that the cabinet
had been charging any person or set of
persons in the United States with treason.
That was as far as he cared to make any
statement.
Inquiry develops the fact that the prob
able basis for the story is some exchange
of opinions among not only cabinet officers,
but among the close friends of the admins
JratiOn, ever since the submission of the
peace treaty to the Senate for its action, to
the general effect that the delays that were
being interposed TO speedy action upon the
treaty We're very harmful. 1t was said that
great encouragement lad been given to
AgunaldC by the attitude of the opponents
OF the Presidents policy among American
public men. But, after all, this was nothing
more than was said openly on the floor OF
the Senate during the consideration OF the
treaty, and the charge was the basis OF
some bitter personal exchanges between
senators.
Since the conclusion Of the peace negoda-
tiOns and the exchange of Publications there
has also been some complaint on the part OF
the adherents to the Presidents pOllcy OF
the i'll effect upon the public and the sol
dierS not actually at the front OF the ire
quent publication of letters from disSrun-
tied volunteers in the Philippines. 1t may
be said that the expressions were Tathef III

but, as summed up by a cabinet oitlcer,
there has been no disposition to attach per
sonal blame to Individuals, but rather 10
