AGAINST AN'SLANGUAGE

tonal Offence.

execution of the round of receptions al
ready planned for the Raleigh. The
German Ambassador appeared ut the
State Department at noon today for the
purpose of making further representa-
tons to Secretary Hay touching the
terances of Captain Coghlan at the Army
and Navy Club.aS published in yesterday
evenings papers were regarded as an
additional offence. An effort was made
to ascertain whether the United States
Government intended to do anything off
cialy in view Of subsequent develop
ments 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 Captain Coghlan, and he did not hesi-
tate to let that be known to the Ger
man Ambassador. but he still held that
the case was one that required treat
ment by methods of naval discipline only
and with which the State Department
could not concern itself.
The German Ambassador will commu-
nicate the Departments views to
the foreign officials at Berlin. The
officials of both sides realize that this
episode may grow into very great
source of discord unless treated dis
creetly and cody. Our officials are
somewhat surprised at the Importance at
tached to this incident by the German
Government. 1t is said that our own
Government has ignored many utteranceS
of German officers of sentiments far
more inimica to the United States than
was the talk of Captain Coghlan to Ger
many. After the conference between
Secretary Hay and the German Ambas-
sador this afternoon, it was stated in an
authoritative quarter that there was NO
reason to view the Coghlan affair in too
serious a light or as presenting grave
international complications.
The meetings today. it was stated. had
been mutually agreeable. The main fea-
ture of the State Department confer
ence was in establishing that the Ger
mans expect this Government to deal
with the Coghlan affair according to the
gravity of the offense. and the United
States in turn gives assurance that every
just expectation in this respect will be
performed.

Washington, ID. c., April 24.-The
German Government has entered for
NAL protest against the language used
by Captain Coghlan, Of the RaIeigh, at
the Union League Club banquet III New
York last Friday night and also his re-
marks on Saturday night nefore the
Army and Navy Club.
The protest was lodged with Secretary
Hay through the German Ambassador
Herr Won Holleben.
Secretary Hay replied that the Ian
guage appeared to have been used at a
dinner in Il club and so could not be
regarded as IN official or public utter
ance in the sense that would warrant
the State Department in acting. How
ever the Navy Department was fully
competent to take such action as the
case seemed to require.
With this statement the Ambassador
was content for the time at least, and
will doubtless wait Il reasonable length
of time upon the Navy Department
There are semi-official intimatiOnS that
the Ambassador will not so much con-
Germ himself with the course of Captain
| Coghlan as with the course of the Uni
ted States in dealing with Coghlan. The
German Ambassador stated today that
the poem recited by Coghlan was Too
nasty to be noticed
! Although relieved from accountability
! to the State Department directly by
Secretary Hays attitude. the Navy De-
partment, as has been indicated, must
deal with the case. Captain Coghlan
can be called to account on several
charges, presuming that he has been
correctly reported and he admits the ut
Iterances
As i'll Commodore Mead's case, if he
stands mute and the newspaper men re-
/ fuse to testify the Navy Department can
fproceed no further. The charges which
would most probably be brought against
Captain Coghlan in case the affair went
to Il court martial, would be conduct
unbecoming an officer.
1t is said that the officer will proceed
with deliberation in making any state
ment he may care to submit to the de-
Ipartment. In the meanwhile, unpleas-
ant SUGGESTIONS are arising as to the
embarrassment that might follow the

Captain Wider's Protest Against Mil

Dewey.
Washington. April 24.-Captain G.. +.
| Wilde, of the United States Navy of the
| United States steamer Boston, has pro-
tested against the. promotion of Colonel
Miller to be hrigadier general as re-
ward for the capture of lloilo.
1t appears that this capture was ef-
fected entirely by the naval forces un-
der the command of Captain Wilder, and
| that it was not until after the capture
had been effected that the place was
turned over to Colonel Miller, who up
to that time had nothing to do with its
capture. This action is endorsed by Adj
miral Dewey.
Captain Wilde'S protest comes too late
to be effective as Colonel Miller was
promoted a brigader general February
10Th in recognition of his services in the
capture of Iolilo and was retired in that
grade March 9th by operation of law
on account of old age. He was in com
mand Of the expedition sent from Manila
for the capture of lloilo, and while the
vessels of the expedition We're lying off
the port. the natives began to strengthen
their defences and fired several shots at
the Petrol, which vessel was anchored
nearest the shore. The commander OF
that small warship asked and received
permission of Captain Wilde, of the Bos-
ton, to respond.
At this time, according to naval adj
vices, General Aller's army transports
were far out in the roadstead. Without
communicating with General Miller the
two warships opened fire on the shore
batteries and soon Sienced them. Lieu
tenant Niblack. of the Boston, landed
with battalion of marines and sailors
and took possession of the town. They
captured the insurgents flags ON the
Government house and on the batteries,
turning the city over to General Miller
on his arrival, an hour or SO later They
kept the captured flags. however, In
spite of General Miller's demand for
them. This is the naval story of the
battle of Iloilo
The official report of that engagement
first received in Washington was made
by General Miller to the War Depart
ment and simply announced the surren-
der of that city to the American forces
under his command without going into
particulars Acting upon this report and
i'm view of the fact that General Miller
had but few weeks more to serve on
the active list, the President appointed
him to Il vacancy then existing in the
list of brigadier generals. He is now
on his way home from Manila, and is
expected to reach San Francisco in a
few days.

its Report

its Report.
Washington, April 24.-The Wade
Court of Inquiry appointed to investigate
the allegations made by Major General
Miles i'll his testimony before the war
investigating commission concerning the
meat furnished the army during the late
war with Spain, held its last open session
today and is now engaged upon the
preparation of its report.
This morning the court decided not to
accept a report made by Lieutenant Col
onel Darlington, because. as it claimed.
the evidence he proposed to submit had
already ben fully considered by the
court.
Major Lee summed up the case dis
claiming at the outset that he was act
ing as counsel for Major General Miles
in technical sense but. had simply been
there to present and elicit evidence.
Lis statement consumed about an
hour and when he concluded with the
statement that the members Of the board
must decide whether Il great fraud and
great crime which he believed had heen
committed should be carried before
the courts, Recorder Davis arose and
said simply: Il submit the case to the
board without argument"
