Though relieved from accountability
10 the state Department directly by

partmcnt. as the Secretary has indi-
Gated. must deal with the case. Captain
Coghlan can be called TO account on
several charges, presuming that he has
been correctly reported and that he
ADMITS the utteranccs. AS IN Commo-
dorc Mcade'S case. if he stands mute
ana the newspaper men refuse to tes-
tify. the Navy Department can proceed
no further. The charges which would
most probably be brought against Cap
tain Coghlan in case the affair pro

conduct TO the prejudice of good order
and discipline, and conduct unbecomlng

SECOND CONFERENCE.
The German ambassador appeared at

for the purpose Of making further rep
reservations to Secretary Hay touch
ing the conduct of Captain Coghlan so
that the uttcranceS of Captain Coghlan
at the Army and Navy Club as pub
lished in yesterday mornings papers
were regarded as an additional offence.
Az effort was made to ascertain Wheth-
er the United States government in
tended 10 do anything officially in view
of subsequent developments in the
case.
Secretary Hay deprecated the lack of
tact, ana the bad taste shown by Cap
tain CoEhan. and he did not hesitate
to let that be known to the German
ambassador. But he still held that the
case was one that required treatment
by methods OF naval discipline only.
The German ambassador will communi
cate the Departments view to the
Foreign Office at Berlin.
Our officials are somewhat surprised
at the importance attached to this in
cident by the German government. 1t
is said that our own government has
ignored many utterances of German
officials of sentiments far more inim-
ical 10 the United States than was
the talk of Captain Coghland TO Ger
many.

BILE.
The meetings to-day. it was stated,
had been mutually agreeable. the
main feature of the State Department
conference was in establishing that
Germany expects the United States
government to deal with the Coghlan
affair according 70 the gravity OF the
offence, and the United states in turn
gives assurance that every just oXpoc-
tation in this respect viii be performed.
