YOHK. April 22-Captain J. I
Ooghtflu and his offices ) of the Untie
States cruiser Halulgh were entertained a
HID Union Loagui ! club last night. Th
dliilnjj room was handsomely decorated wit
Amoilcan anil British lings , and ton larg
tables were weighted with good things fc
the loturned heroes of Manila. 1'rcsldcr ,
Kllhu Hoot piosided , nnd after a speech t
welcome , called for thico cheers for Admin
Devvoy. They were Riven so that tlie build
Ing seemed to throb In Hympathj. Hire
cheers followed foi Captain Coghlnn. Al
moat greater than either were the HUOUI
of appiovul when President Hoot called ft
"Threo cheers for tbo men behind the guna.
Captain Coghlan was called \ipon I
opcak. lln accepted , he said , nil the goo
things that ha\o been said about him nn
his men as being meant for Admtinl Dovvo ;
"Hvei } daj wo wcio with him , " ho uddei
"we leained more and mole to love him or
more and more how thu eoutitr > 's Interesi
\\eto safe In hl hands , and how he coul
do nothing but that which would rcdoun
to the country's credit Through all thoi
long , weary months of walling nntl the mo
outiagcous nagging that anybody could su
fcr , wearing him to the \ery bone , ho he !
himself up nnd ho held ua tip with him. "
Then Captain Coghlan told the follow It :
story of his admiral-
"An officer of our filend , Admiral Vc
Dledilchs , came down one d.i > to make
complaint. It was my pleasine tq step 01
on the quarter deck just as be came aboar
It was partly by accident and partly I
vlcalgn. I hcaid him tell tbo admiral abel
his complaint and t heard the admiral rcpl ;
" 'Tell your admiral thoho ships of h
must stop when I say fo. 1 wish to mal
the blockade of this hnibor complete. '
"Tho Ociman olllcer replied. 'Hut wo f
the Hag. '
tiiM-inuii riitKN AnChiMiii. .
"Tho reply of the admiral was j-ist 111
Devvey , He said : 'Those Hags can be boug !
at a halt a dollar a yard anywhere. '
"There was no fun in that expression
the admiral. He told the olllcer than anjoi
could fly a German flag , and that a who
Spanish licet might come upon him wl
German Hags up. Then ho drew back ai
stroked his mustache. He has a great hal
of stroking his mustache when ho gets ma
He said :
" 'Tell your admit al I am blockading her
Now , note carefully whit I saj , and ti
your admiral that 1 say It I have been ma
Ing this blockade as easy for everybody
I could , but I am getting tired of the puorl
work hero. It has been of such .x charact
that a man would not notice It , althoui
children might fight over It , but the time b
come when It must stop Tell jour admit
that the slightest Infraction of any rule w
mean one thing- That there will bo vvi
It will be so accepted and resented Immei
ately. If your people are ready for w
with the United States they can have it
any time'
"I am free to admit that that almost to
my breath away. It came so suddenly. \
had expected It all along , but things y
ha\o been expecting always come uncxpei
cdly. As he left with a face about tl
long" ( Indicating by holding up his ban
far apart ) , "the German said to mo :
" 'I think your admiral does not exacl
understand. '
" 'Not only docs ho understand , ' I tc
him , 'but he means what he says , and y
had better look out. '
"After that they did not breathe more th
four times successively without asking pi
mission. "

WASHINGTON , April 22 The Germ
ambassador , Dr. Von Hollobcn , called
Secretary Hay today , which led to repo
that the attention of the State departnu
had been called to the remarks of Captt
Coghlan of the cruiser Halclgh at the N
York banquet last night relating his porsoi
observations of a rebuke and threat t
ministered by Admiral Dowcy to the Gi
man naval commanders at Manila. It w
stated positively , however , that no prot
or representations were made , as It Is n
dorstood in German quarters that this 1 :
matter In which the authorities hole shot
bo left to take the Initiative.
At the same time It Is known that Capt ;
Coghlan's remarks caused considerable d
pleasure In high diplomatic and naval qin
tors , mainly because they are contrary
the policy which the two governments 1m
adopted of giving as little public express !
as posslblo to the friction which may he
occurred at Manila In naval quarters tin
Is a disposition to regaid Captain Coghla
Btatomont as giving some rather ugly trui
which have heretofore been gkfiscd over
grounds of public policy The icsponsl
naval officials have , however , shared I
policy of minimizing Iho frictions at Manl
but in the present cafce , owing to Capti

Captain Coghlan made n speech In which h
reiterated what ho had said before th
Union Lcaguo club Filday night. Ho sal
In put.
"I feel Inclined to say only a few vvnrd
this evening , because what I said last nlgli
was taken umbrage at by someone In Wasl
Ington , who protested. What I said last nlgl
WAH true , and what t said I will say agalt
( Urcat applause. ) I said It because I felt I
I am certain that wo all felt wo were belli
nagged at Manila , wo wore nefilly nagged t
death. I had read a great deal In the news
papers of what occurred at vatlous place
In the Philippines nnd I thought that th
newspapers had not placed that grand ol
man , Admlial Dcwey , In the proper llgh
and that Is the reason I thought 1 was Jui
tided In placing him In the proper light. "
"My remarks In the papers were garblci
I will not say they were Incorrect In sut
station 01 untrue , but they were tllstortc
and twlited so as to put a different meal
Ing In thorn If anyone will reason a llttl
he will understand our situation. Wo a
showed Admiral Dewey we were with hi !
thoroughly nnd heartily Wo felt that v
were being belittled and nagged until ot
patience could stand It no longer. The ai

Btopped It and they never moved a ha

Stopping a few minutes and looking nbot

ctled , "Go on ! Go on ! "
" 1 do not care to go on and repeat wh
I said last night , although I am wllllr
to do It , because I do not want the ut
enviable repuatlon of being a one-spec !

the Cuban army rolls and the amount to

mated by the United States department.
General Gomez said that the lists exceed
his own previous Impressions Yet as th

them. It Is said that General Gomez su
gested eliminating from the rolls all t
men who enlisted after the breaking out
