v R Iz, ' lb, munDiBBinoTSi Cofjhlan's SpcccSi Brings Action From Kaiser's Ambassador. MADE TO SECRETARY HAY. The Carman ttorernmont OfTonilod bjr tli IimnzuK Usait Itjr tho IUIoIrIi'i Commiuder Btata Department Mar It Unaula to Taka Umotat CocnUanea. Wahiiinoton, April 2.1. Tho Ger man government hn cntorcd a formal protest against the languago used by Captain Coghlan of tho Ualelgh at tlio Union Long no banquet In Now York last Friday night Tlio protcat was 1 oil (foil with Secre tary Hay through the German ambas sador, llcrr Von Holleben. Secretary Hay replied that tlio lan guage appoared to bavo beetr used at a dinner In a club, and no could not bo regarded as an ofllolul or public utter ance In tlio sense that would warrant tlie stato dapartment In acting. How ever, tlio navy doparttnent was fully competent to take such notion an the co seemed to require. With this ntatement tho, ambassador was con tent, for tho tlmo ut least, and will doubtless wait upon tho navy depart wont a reasonable length of time. There are seiu-ofllolal Intimations that tho nmbassndor will not no much concern himself with tlio action of Cap tain Coghlan an with tho eourso of tho United States in dealing with Cogh Ian. Tho German ambassador staled that the "Hoch dcr KaUcr" vortcs recited by Captain Cog hi an wcro "too nasty to bo noticed." Tho German nmlusiador uppcaroi at tho state department to-day for the purpose of malting further represen tations to Secretary Hay touching the conduct of Captain Coghlan, so that tho Utterances of Captain Cogh Ian at the Army and Navy club Saturday night, as published in yes terday morning's papers, should ba regarded as un additional o(Tons:. An effort was mado to ascertain whether tho United States government in tended to do anything ofllctally in view of subsequent developments In the case. It is said that Captain Coghlan'B coho Is not similar to that of tho Span ish captain, Concha), whoso utter ances In Madrid In severe criticism of tho United Stages just before the war caused tho state department to lodge a formal protest through United States Minister Hunnls Taylor. Captain Conchas' utterances wcro embodied in u lecturo deliv ered beforo tho Spanish Geographical toeloty and were published in the full sense of tho term. Secretary liny, In his reply to tho Germuii ambassa dor, has undoubtedly taken nolo of tho dlffcrenco between tho cases on this particular point und it may ba u cry important difference for Captain Coghlan. Tho stato department's po sition Is that a club is simply the homo of n number of men, and so any thing done there cannot bo considered a public affair. So far no response has boon recolved from Captain Coghlan ut tho Navy de partment. Jt Is expected that tho of ficer will proceed with do'.ibcratlon in making any statemont to tho depart ment. Meanwhllo unpleasant sugges tions aro arising to tho embarrass ment that may follow tho execution of tho round of receptions already planned for tho Ualelgh. As a result of his allusion to the conduct of tho German fleet at Manila during tho war wttjh Spain, Coghlan will in all probability be relieved of tho command of tho Ualelgh. Secretary Long Is more provoked than over with Captain Coghlan. Tho reiteration of his criticisms on tho eourso of tho Germans at Manila has greatly tnugnlQed tho offense. Tho Secretary is at a loss to understand why Captain Coghlun should have made this subject so prominent. There has been no failure In any direction to glvo Admiral Dewey full credit for his course in every emergency. It Is assumed that tho captain has been en tertained so well he Is disposed to for get that somo of his remarks, while Interesting to Americans, may be ex ceedingly embarrassing to his govern ment und annoying to a friendly power. There Is some wonder ex presto 1 that the Union Lsagus club and tho Army and Navy club should have permitted their guest, remarks to ba reported and put Into print. Asldo from this question of ethics, there Is no denying the fact that tho government regrets what Captain Coghlan has done, and tho secretary Is particularly chagrined by tho re cital of tho "Hojh dor Kaiser" verses Saturday night at tho Army and Navy elub. IIekmn, April 2.1. It is announced In a aeml-ofllciul noto that tho United States Secretary of Stale, Colonel John Hajr, jius expressed to tho German am blkjador,, jjaron yon Holleben, his strong disapproval of tho conduct of Captain JosapU 11, Coi'.an of the United States cruiser Ralolgh.

ON TO CALUMPIT1 alVttin Amtrtcsn Troop i March ffortJ f rroiu Malolot, (ha OIil Capital. Manila, April 23. General Halo hat) crossed tho Tlbabag river at 4 o'clock this afternoon and had reached a po sition n quarter of a inllo from Cal urn pit, ilvo mllcH north of Mnlolos, thui commanding tho ford.

Heforo daylight the Fourth cavalry, with thrco guns belonging to tho Utah battory,, tho Nebraska rcglmcnl and tho Iowa reglmont under Halo, wore proceeding in tlio direction ol Kulnchun, whero tho Tlbabag is ford able, but commanded by the Filipino trenches. Tho last named troops were In tho engagement yesterday. During' tho afternoon tho troopj crossed tho river. Generals MacArthur and Whcaton, with tho Montana regiment, advanced to tho left of tho railroad, and tho Kansas regiment moved forward to tho rlghL north of Mnlolos. They had with them a long supply train, with two armed cars In front, carry ing two Gatllng and Colt rapid flro guns and tho 0 pounder which did such execution at tho capture of Ma lolos. Tho insurgents attempted to destroy tho railroad brldgo ontsldo of Calum plt, and succeeded In badly warping tho iron framowork. As soon as tho soldiers loft Mnlolos, tho old Filipino capital, tho natives began flocking In, as they did at San-' ta Cruz before the last boat of General Law ton's expedition had sailed. Our army Is eompollcd to abandon nil towns when an onward movement Is commenced, because of Insufllcient mon to garrison thorn. This gives the Filipino loadors a framework upon which to spin dories of American dofoat. Tho American commindors havo left great stores of rice at Malolos, which they havo been distributing to tho natives and Chinamen dally, of whom there aro somo 200 or 300. Nearly nil of them remained during tho occupation, but they fol lowed tho American urmy out of tho place, or took trains golug in tlio di rection of Manila, fearing tho rebels would kill them. These rcfugccB in cluded some of tho wealthiest citiicns of that place. THREE LYNCHED IN GEORGIA. A slob Ilurnt Ono Negro una tatei Kill. Two Other. Nkwnan, (In, April as.

GOVERNOR CANDLER TALKS. Dlicusnen tho Homing anl Mutllntlor of tlio NVgro, Bam Horn. Atlanta, Ga., April 2.1. Governor Candler gavo tho following statement on tho burning of Sam Iloso near Nowman: "The wholo thing Is deplorable and Hose's crime, the hoirid details of which havo been published, and aro too horrlblo for publication, is tho most diabolical iu the annals of crime. Tho negroes of that community lost tho best opportunity they will cver havo to clevato themselves in tho estimation of their white neighbors. Tho .diabolical iiaturo of tho doublo crime was well known to every ono of them; tho per petrator was well known nnd they owed it to their race to exhaust every means of bringing Hose to justice. This course would have done more to protect their race against tho mob than all the rewards and proclama tions of all tho governors for tho next fifty years. Hut they lost the oppor tunity, and it is a deplorable fact that while Bcorcs of intelligent negroes, leaders of their race, havo talked ta. mo about the Palmetto lynching, not ono of them has ever in tho remotest way alluded to cither tho burning of Palmetto, which provoked tho lynch ing, nor to tho diabolical crime of Hose. "1 do not bolicvo these men sympa thized with Hoso or tho Palmotto in cendiaries, but they aro blinded by rnco prejudice and con seo but one stde of the question. This Is unfor tunate. They must learn to look at both sides. I want to protect tlicra irf every legal right and against mob vio lence, nnd 1 stand ready to employ every resource of the state in doing so, but they must roalizo that in order to merit and receive tho protection of tho community they must show a wll lingless to at least aid in protect ing the community against the lawless clement of thelrown race. Tho good and-law-abidlng negroes must separ ate themselves from tho lawless and crlminal clement. Thoy must de nounce crime and aid in bringing criminals to justice, whether they be black or white. In this way thoy can do moro to protect tqcmsjlvcs than all the courts and juries in tho state can do for them.
