WILL NOT REMOVE HIM.
President Mckinley Admires Brave
Captain Too Much.

Philadelphia, April 27.-An authentic
statement was made this afternoon
after his arrival in this city that Presi-
dent Mckinley has no intention of re-
moving Captain Coghlan from COM
mand of the Raleigh. The president, it
was stated, reports to the contrary not
wl'thstanding, has not even considered
such action.
1t was learned from an authentic
source that the admiration felt for the
captain By the president for his par
ticipation in the destruction of the
Spanish feet completely overshadows
any desire on his part to administer a
rebuke to the Raleigh's commander.
Should Captain Coghlan retire at al,
which now seems unlikely, it will not
be because of the German incident, but
because it is in keeping with the usage
of the navy department, or because the
caOtain desires shore leave.
This information comes almost di-
rectly from the president himself,
whose personal and official gratitude to
the Raleigh's commander will be fur
Their demonstrated tomorrow, when he
win visit the captain on board, and
convey 20 him the gratitude of the ma
ton for his brilliant work in the ia
nous cement on May 1, 1885, which
set the pace for the subsequent defeat
of the Spaniards on land and sea-

INTEREST ON OvERDRAFTS.
City Council Will Strive For a Lower
Rate.

For the past two or three years the
city treasury, from July l to the middle
of October, or later, has been bor-
rover at the banks to tide over the
ever-recurring period of deficits until
general tax revenues are available.
These overdrafts have come high, the
interest charge never being less than
at the rate of per cent annually on
the average overdraft of $4,000. This
year the city's cash box will be again
depleted, and she banks once more will
be asked to carry the inevitable over
draft But the accommodation, it is
believed, will not cost as much as here
tofore.
The finance committee of the city
council last evening discussed the
question of soliciting bids from the
banks for the municipality's overdraft
account The opinion was expressed
that the prevailing lower rates of in
terest and the plethora of cash in the
banks would enable the city to get the
overdraft at as low a rate as per cent
per year for the four months. OF
course. the administration does not ex-
pect to get as favorable terms as are
given to the board of education ac-
count which is kept gratis by McCor-
nick & Co, with privileges of over
drafts without interest charges, but the
finance committee proposes to get a
better deal than has been the city's
fortune in the past.

He Must Be More Careful In Writ

GERMANs NOT INCLINED TO LET
MATTER DROP.
Their Greatest oFense Is At the
Song the Captain Sang About the
Kaiser-President Mckinley Adj
mires Him Too Much to Dismiss
Him From Navy.

Washington, April 27.-It has been
felt proper to admonish Admiral Kautz
to be more careful either in writing
such letters as that published yester-
day from Cincinnati or in guarding his
letters from publicity. and letter of
that character was addressed to him
yesterday.
Theoretically letter addressed under
the circumstances attending the Kautz'
letter may be regarded as strictly pri-
vate, yet practically the writer must
accept the consequences that would
follow the publication.
In the case of Chief Justice Cham
bers, whose brother made public let
ter criticising the Germans in Samoa,
the effect will certainly be injurious to
the chief justice. Though the letter
was undoubtedly a private communica-
ton the state department was bound
to take notice of the fact that this pub
LEGATION had done much to injure the
usefulness of the chief justice and to
render his retention in the office after
the reconstruction of the islands gov
eminent improbable

STILL AFTER CoGHLAN.
Administration Endeavoring to Close
the incident.

Berlin, April 27.-It is announced here
today that President Mckinley received
the German ambassador DR.. Won Hol-
leben, yesterday, and expressed his
disapproval of the, remarks attributed
to Captain Coghlan of the United
States cruiser Raleigh at a recent din
ner and requested the ambassador to
assure Emperor William and the Ger
man government of his friendly senti-
ment. The following statements are
made:
Respecting Captain Coghlan, no cor
respondence has been exchanged be-
tween the United States embassy and
the German government and the Incl
dent is considered entirely closed so far
as Germany is concerned.
Regarding Samoa, the dispatches of
Captain Schoenfelder. commander of
the Fake detailing the amicable re-
lations existing between the German
officers in Samoa and those of the other
powers), have been well received,
though they will no doubt cause some
annoyance to the sensational journals
which have sought to stir warlike feel
ings here by representing Admiral
KautZ as a rough, overbearing boor.
The general feeling is confidence in the
newly-appointed commission and the
foreign office as well as the American
and British embassies express satisfac-
ton at the fact that they can now have
time to devote to other questions.
Regarding the transferrence to Ber-
lin of the negotiations for a reciprocity
treaty nothing has yet been received
at the United States embassy on the
subject"

The committee told United States
Consul Williams that they would go if
he would ACCOMPANY them, believing
the rebels trusted Mr.. Williams. The
latter, however, refused, having no au-

London, April 27.-The Daily Mail, in
reference to the American victory in
the Philippines, says:
The Americans are to be congratu-
lated warmly upon the victory which
they have won at Calumpit.
Now, at last, it looks as if the back
of the Filipino resistance has been

ticularly glad of this fact. as they alone
appreciate to the full extent the diff
culties which their cousins have to con-
tend with.
The victory is all the more welcome
and all the more gratifying to us be-
cause we have been watching with deep
interest the efforts of political party
in the United States to humiliate the
nation and the government by persuad-
ing them to a disgraceful and coward

Nothing came from the jury room to

NO NEWS FROM OTIS.
War Department Outlines Supposed
Plan of Campaign.

Washington. April 27-The war de-
partment did not receive any informa-
ton from General Otis today respecting
the campaign about Calumpit 1t is
said now that while it is part of the
plan for Lawton, moving westward
from Norazagaray, to take the rebels
in the rear at Calumpit and crush them
between his own force and that of Mac
Arthur, such was not the only purpose
of his expedition.
The principal object was to clear the
country back of the foothills of the
numerous small bodies of Insurgents
who have been ,harassing the country
and making life miserable for the
American troops by forays at unex-
pected times and places.
1t is believed that General Lawton
has finally succeeded in this, and that
when he has effected juncture with
Macarthur north of Calumpit, it will
be possible to establish a comparative
ly short line of works across country
and prevent the return of the insur-
gents from the north.
