CAPTAIN 'COGHLAN. Apropos of the sensation caused in the United States by the speech made by Captain Coghlan, of the cruiser Raleigh, at New York, in which he referred to the events shortly after the battle of Manila, a representative of the Times of Ceylon went on board the Immortalité, recently on the China station, and had a talk with the Commander, Sir Edward Chichester. Sir Edward knows Captain Coghlan intimately and the information which has come to hand proved interesting to him. Oh, yes," said Sir Edwards, "I know Captain Coghlan well. He tells a very good yam. Have you any idea what provocation he had for speaking as he appears to have done? Yes, I believe there was a little friction between Admiral Dewey, and the German Admiral; in fact I know there was, but it sogn blow ever. I sup pose they swelled a little as they went round the world. We all do." Sir Edward did not explain the cause of the unpleasantness, but he is satisfied that there was very little in it.
