TROUBLE WITH LAPS
Coghlan Says We Need Real
 Fleet on Pacific.
AN INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY.
Japanese of Pacific Coast and Pros gressives at Tokyo Form Plans That May Embroil Nations
 and Cause War.

That May Embroil Nations
 and Cause War.
 WASHINGTON, June 10.-That the Japanese of the Pacific coast and the Progressives. a political party of Ja- pan. have entered into an alliance which has the earnarks of an inter national conspiracy. with the over throw of the present ministry in Ja- pan and the annulment of the clause in the immigration bill excluding Jap anese cooly labor from continental United States as the ultimate objects, was learned authoritatiyely here.
 The preliminary steps in this scheme. it is said, will be to induce the Tokyo government to recall yiscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador to the Unit ed States, and to demand an apology and perhaps an indemnity from this government for the alleged acts of violence against Japanese subjects re siding in San Francisco.
 A Tokyo dispatch says that Viscount Tani, leader of the opposition in the house of peers and head of the defense of Kumanoto in the Satsuma rebellion, said anent the American question:
 'The persecution of the Japanese in San Francisco is a most wicked act. Should diplomacy fail to bring about a satisfactory solution the only way open to us is an appeal to arms. Our mind is firmly made up. It is certain that America will yield, for its people are radically commercial in their senti- ment."
 How much yiscount Tani represents public sentiment 1t Is difficult to esti- mate at the present time.
 q am convinced that we will never fight Japan within my lifetime, and I ought to round out at least twenty years more."
 Rear Admiral Joseph B. Coghlan, re gently retired from the United States navy, made this statement
 q am not SO sure that we will ever fight Japan," Admiral Coghlan contin- ued. Japan has troubles enough of her own in developing Manchuria and eastern Asia without attempting to stack up against the United States.
 T don't believe that Japan will ever attack us.
 "One thing is certain. however. Our naval force in the Pacific is woefully inadequate for any such possibility as a war with Japan. We have three bat tleships along the Pacific coast now. We might just as well bring them around into the Atlantic waters, where they can be added to our fleet.
 "What we need is real fleet in the Pacific to properly guard our posses sions. We ought to have one of the strongest fleets in the world there and have 1t equipped to meet any emer- gency.
 If we have more warships in the Pacific than has Japan that nation would hesitate long time before mak- ing any serious attempt to wrest the Philippines and Hawaii from us.
 We need a big navy not only as the surest guarantee of peace, but as pro lection to our colonial possessions and the retention of our self respect among the nations"
