Anair-A Noted German Says
He is n Vicious Ass.

WAsHISGToS, April $50 seriously
has been the criticism on all sides o,
the speech of Capt. Coghlan, of tn,
cruiser Raleigh, before tho Union
League club in New York, that the
administration feels embarrassed in
view of the strained rela-
tions between the United States and
Germany, and despite the captains
gallant record at Manila, it is strongly
probable that there is considerable
trouble in store for him. This may re-
suit in his being relieved of his COM
mand.
1t is generally understood that Ger
many expects disavowal. Attention
is called TO the fact that when the
German government learned the full
extent of his irritating conduct, Vice
Adm. Won Diedrichs was succeeded in
command of the Asiatic squadron.
Capt. Coghlan will either voluntarily
or by the direction of Secretary Long,
furnish the department with a correct
version of his speech.
There is no intention in official cir
cles OF court-martialing Capt. Coghlan.
The utmost that will be done, if the
present temper of the department con-
tinues, will be TO relieve him of his
command, write him letter OF CEN
Il
record.
Capt. COghlan has been in trouble
before. In 1876 he wrote a letter to
Chief Clerk Moran, of the navy depart
ment, in which there were profane ex-
pressions. He was court-martialed. re-
duced 13 numbers and suspended one
year. In 1892 he wrote letter quoting
Senator Voorhees, remark that Mr..
Cleveland was a great man because he
wore 2l-nch collar" lie was about
to be promoted to captain, but the
president withheld his name.
