Probable Punishment of Capt. Cogh
Ian for His Recent Ut:cranccs.
New York, April PA special from
Washington says:
AS a result of his allusion to the con-
duct of the German fleet at Manila
during the war with Spain, Captain
Joseph B. Coshlan will in all probable
ity be relieved of the command of the
Raleigh. Secretary Long will not dis
cuss Captain Coghlan's conduct, but he
consented to say that no action would
be taken until he had heard from that
officer. 1T is presumed that Captain
Coghlan received the letter sent by
Secretary Long Saturday, and it is eN-
pected that reply will be in the hands
of the secretary today. Until action is
taken in the matter it is hoped by de-
partment officials that Captain Cogh
Ian will not make any further public
utierances OF a character rejecting up-
on the conduct of Germany during the
war.
Washington, April.26.-The cabinet
discussed the Coghlan case today. Sec
Rotary Long said he had received a let
ter from Coghlan. The latter said his
remarks We're made most informally,
without any thought that they would
be published. The published accounts
attributed to him things that he did
not say. Under the circumstances he
thought the utterances should be CON
sidcred privileged. 1T is understood
the captain will soon retire and it is
believed the authorities will show him
as much consideration as is consistent
with DISCIPLINE

ACCUSES HIS WIFE.
DR.. E. B. Patton, Dying, Declares
He Was Poisoned.

Terre Haute, Ind, April 25.-Dr. B.
d. Patton, a physician who is we'll
known throughout three states as a.
specialist in the cure of cancer, and
who is the proprietor of a large sani-
tarium in this city, is lying at the
point of death from the effects of
arsenic and chloroform poison, which
he claims was administered by his
Wife,. For some months past the ply
sician has been materially losing
strength, until a few days ago he was
unable to attend his practice. He was
compelled to seek his bed and now lies
under the care of three doctors, who
state that his chances for recovery are
very slight. Since his illness forced
him to take to his bed the physician
has reiterated time and again in the
hearing of his brother doctors that his
wife was the cause of his condition.
The attending physicians were in
clined at first to think that their pa
tent was mildly insane OH the subject,
but were at last led to believe that
there might be some truth in his state
ments. Late last night the invalid
be summoned, and this was done. A
SWOIIl StdlcIlGIC was NY tuC Wy.
ing man and taken down by both the
coroner and prosecutor. In addition
DR.. Patton requested that post-mor-
tenn examination of his body be made
in order that the true cause of his
death might be ascertained.
A representative of the Associated
Press was present when the ante-mor-
TEN statements were made and the
doctor said:
81 know that have been poisoned,
and l also realize that l have but a
short time to live. made my will last
Monday, and have also asked that
post-mortem examination be held. If
should chance to recover L intend to
prosecute my wife, but if 1 should die
| have so arranged that the law may
take its course"
Mrs. Julia Patton, the accused
woman, has filed proceedings for di-
vorce and is now at one of her farms
near New Market, Ind. She has been
married four times and is worth some
thing over 100000 in her own right.
No steps have yet been taken to appre-
bend her.
