CASE OF COGHLAN.
Unlikely that the Captain of the
Raleigh will be Severely
Disciplined.

Washington, i. c.. April 25.-At the
ances of Capt. Coghan of the cruiser
Raleigh We're informally discussed
Secretary Long said he had received a
letter on the subject from Capt. Coghlan
The captain diSclaimed any intention of
insulting the German Emperor or Admi-
raj Won Diedrichs. and his remarks on
the occasion of the Union League clubs
banquet We're made in the most informal
minner in the company of friends, with
ont any thought that they would he re-
ported in the public press.
AS they did appear, he said, they were
exaggerated and distorted and he was
made to say things which he did not ut
ter lie claims that under the circum-
stances. his remarks should be regarded
as privileged.
After the cabinet meeting adjourned,
Secretary Long and Secretary Hay re-
manned some time with the President 10
! further discuss the matter. 1t is under
stood that the captain will soon retire
from the service through the regular
channel and 1t is thought that in view of
this fact and further that he rendered
distinguished service at the naval en-
gagement at Manila, the authorities will
consistent with naval discipline.
According to arrangements made some
DAYS ago for the Presidents visit to
Philadelphia he will go aboard the Ra-
leigh next Friday morning as a special
compliment to Capt. tOghlan. Whether
under the circumstances this part of the
programme will he changed cannot now
be stated.
1t is the impression today that the
case of Capt COghlan is losing impor-
tance as the days pass and his action is
viewed IN a more ConSiderate light \
high official whose advice would have
much to do with shaping the fate of
Capt. toghlan said that in his opinion
IN" needs of the case would be complete
~ met by a sharp letter of reprimand
addressed = him 10y the navy depart
1nent If the captain admitted he was cor
rectly reported.
St Louis, Mo, April 25-PubIcity has
been given to the idea that because Belle
vile. Ill, the birthplace and home of
Capt. Joseph +. Coghlan, the returned
Manila naval officer, is German in its
characteristics. the city would turn a cold
shoulder on him at the time of his visit
there because of his recent remarks
Judging from the action of the Bellevillc
Commercial club. which by an almost
unanimous vote has refused to consider Il
resolution Ccnsuring Capt. COghlan, this
will not be the case. 1t was noteworthy
that the most earnest and most indignant
speeches against the resolution were
made by the German members of the
club.
