CAPTAIN COGHLAN explains.
SAYS REPORTS OF HIS SPEECH WE'RE
EXAGGERATED AND DIsToRTED-A
REPRIMANDt PROBABLE.

B Washington April 2J-At the Cabinet meeting
to-day the recent utterances of Captain Coghap
OF the Raleigh informally discussed. secre-
tary Long said he had received n letter from Cap
tain Coghlan. The Captain said that he had no In
tcntion OF insulting the German Emperor or Ad-
miral Won Diederichs, and that his remarks al the
Union League Club were made In the most In
formal manner In the company OF friends. without
any thought that they would be reported In the
press. As they did appear. he said, they were ex-
aRgerated and distorted and he was made to say
things which he did not utter. He thinks that
under the circumstances his remarks should be
regarded privileged.
After the Cabinet meeting adjourned Secretary
Long and Secretary Hay remained short time
with the President to discuss the matter further.
II Is understood that the Captain will soon retire
from active service In the regular way, and II Is
thought that in view OF this fact. and as he
rendered distinguished service in the naval battle
at Manila the authorities will show him much
consideration is consistent with naval disci-
pline
II IL the impression that the Is losing i'm
portance and Captain Coghlan's action is viewed
in more considerable light. high oficial. whose
advice would have much TO do with shaping the
fate OF the Captain. said that In his opinion the
needs OF the would be completely met by
sharp letter Of reprimand from the Navy De-
partment.
The German Ambassador has not communicated
with the State Department on the subject since
yesterday and IL is believed that the German Gov
eminent is content to await the action Of the Navy
Department without further pressing the matter.
The view was expressed at the German Embassy
to-day that the affair was practically ended. and
that with the administering OF a reprimand by the
Navy Department the incident would be closed.
The German Ambassador has received a large
number OF letters expressing regret and disdp-
proval of Captain Coghan's remarks. These come
not only from German Americans. but from rep
resentatve Americans who depore the straning
of interna onal relations by comparatively trivial
acts of individuals
