DENIAL FROM COGHLAN.

Untrue.

San Francisco, Dec. ia special to
the Call from Seattle, Wash, says:
Captain ]. B. Coghlan. who was COM
mander of the United States cruiser
Raleigh at Manila, is now command
ant of the Port Orchard naval station.
When seen today in reference to the
allegations made at Manila by Colonel
Julio del Rio. a Spanish officer, and
Senior Rafael Rosello, a merchant, Cap
tain Coghlan said:
why, it's ridiculous talking of our

prisoners other than through my
glass from the ship. In consequence
could give them no personal asSur-
ance as to the future, neither did 1 en-
power my officer to make any stipula-
tons and never heard of him so doing.
In consequence there was no violation
of any agreement.
Instead of sailing away on the even
ing of the 18th and leaving the garrison
practically unarmed and permitting the
insurgents to frequently fire upon the
town, we simply moved about three
miles out in the bay and anchored. We
were always in view of the town, with
our searchlight playing upon it. We
had not then taken the arms of the
Spaniards and l had notified the insur-
gent commander that he must not in
terfere. and my instructions were
obeyed. When 1 was ordered to place
the prisoners on board the insurgent
boat Filipinas, ii was done on the

Captain Coghlan states that he never
reported that the German cruiser Irene
slipped her cable upon the appearance
of the Raleigh and Concord in Subig
bay. although some such rumor gained
circulation. He further added that the
Raleigh was in a .position to prevent the
prisoners from being molested, and
until all had been taken from the island
