Washington, April 2B.--The German
government has entered n formal pro-
test against the language used By Capt.

banquet IN New York last Friday night.
Quot in Now York last Friday night
The protest was lodged with secre-
tary Hay through the German ana
baasador. Herr Won Hoileben.
Secretary Hay replied that the Ian.
guage appeared 20 have been used AZ
a dinner IN a club and 30 could not be
regarded rs an ofIlcini or public utter
ance IN the sense that II would war;
rant the state department In acting.
However. the navy department was
fully competent to take such action as
the case seemed 10 require. with this
statement the Ambassador was con-
tent for the time at least and will
doubtless await a reasonable length Of
time upon the navy department. There
are semi-ohiciai intimaiions that the
ambassador will not 80 much concern
himself with the course OF Capt. Cogh.

The German ambassador appeared
At tho state department at noon yes

ther representations to Secretary Hay,
touching the conduct Of Capt. Coghlan
80 that the utterances OF Capt. Cogh-
Ian at the army and navy club, as pub
lshod In Sundays paper, were regard
dod as an additional oiienso. An of-
fort was made to ascor'aiu whether
the United States government intend
ed 10 do anything oflelally In Wow OF
subsequent developments In the case.
Secretary Hay has not changed his
position In any degree. He deprecated
the lack Of tact and the bad taste
shown by Capt. Coghlan and he did
not hesitate TO let that be known to
the German ambassador. but he still
held that the case was one that ro-
qulred treatment by means OF naval
discipline only and one with which the
state department could not concern II.

The German ambassador will com

three times he was let down with

DR.. Wilcox Says the Fatal
Wound Was in Right Groin.
Murder Was Probably Unpremeditated
Nothing Yet Discovered to Indicate
the Perpetrators Of the Crime.

No light has yet been shed on the
murder of Frank III. Shaw. The police
at Narragansett Pier and at Brooklyn
are as much In the dark as to the trag-
edy and the actors in IL as they were
when the limp and rope-bound body
was first drawn from the water and Is
became known that crime had been
committed. In Brooklyn there has been
a disposition to question the identifica-
ton OF the body as that OF Shaw, but
all doubts on that score can be put
aside. Members of the FANNY stated to-
day that there is not the shadow OF
doubt that the body laid away in the
North Burial ground yesterday after
noon Is that Of their kinsman.
Nor can there be any question that
Shaw died by violence at the hands OF
others and was not a suicide or the
victim OF accident. DIR. Horace Will
cox, the medical examiner at Nara
gansett Pier, who made an autopsy on
the body has prepared a report in
which he makes the positive statement
that death was due TO a wound i'm the
right groin. which he believes wus
made by kick. There was undigested
food in the stomach which has the ap-
pearance of chicken and eggs
