AWAITING LONGS ACTION.

German Embassy Has Taken No Further
Steps in the Coghlan Case.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-It is the i'm
preston that the case of Captain Cogh-
Ian is losing Importance as the the days
pass and his action is viewed in more
considerate light. A high official,
whose advice would have much to do
with shaping the fate of Captain Cogh-
Ian, said that in his opinion the needs
of the case would be completely met by
a sharp letter of reprimand addressed to
him by the navy department, if the
captain admitted he was correctly re-
ported.
The German ambassador has not
communicated with the state depart
ment on this subject since Monday, and
it is believed that the German govern
ment is now content to await the action
of the navy department without further
pressing the matter. The view was ex-
pressed at the German embassy that
the Coghlan affair was practically
ended, and that with the administering
of reprimand by the navy department
the incident would be closed.

MAKE LOUD COMPLAINT.
Minneapolis Grocers Are Losing Their
Flour Trade.

Minneapolis Grocers Are Losing Their
Flour Trade.
MlNNEAPoL1s, April 26.-The retail
grocers of this city are losing their -four
trade. This fact was clearly demon
strated at the Grocers' association meet
ing, the reason for it being explained by
the statement that country flour sells
upon the Minneapolis market at figure
considerably below that asked for the
Minneapolis brands. This country -four
is not handled by the grocers, owing to
an agreement entered into between
them and the local millers, and they
are consequently placed in position
where they cannot successfully compete
with ''f1our and feed" stores and other
establishments which sell the prescribed
brands.

Negotiating For Transportation Facilities
in Nicaragua.
New YORK, April ga special
from Washington says: Although Great
Britain is willing to relinquish her right
to share in the Nicaragua canal by abro-
eating the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, in re-
turn for quid pro quo from the United
States, it is apparent to officials of the
state department that she is taking
measures to provide transportation ia
cilities across Nicaragua for her own
trade.
No official confirmation has been re-
ceived of the dispatch from Managua
saying that President Zelaya had grant
ed an option to the British consul at
Managua, or to any company he may
organize, to purchase railroads and
steamboats, of Nicaragua with the
workshops apperta;ning to them, for
the sum Of 6,500,0Oo, pesos, silver, but
details of the agreement are expected
by the state department..

Rendered Good Service at Manila
and Will Be Shown Con-

Writes a Letter to Secretary
Long Giving His Story of
the Affair.
Had No Intention of Insulting the
German Emperor or Won
Diedrichs.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-At the cabi-
net meeting the recent utterances of
Captain Coghlan of the cruiser Raleigh
were informally discussed. Secretary
Long said he had received letter from
Captain Coghlan. He disclaimed any
intention of insulting the German EN-
peror or Admiral Won Diedrichs, and his
remarks OH the occasion of the Union
League Club banquet were made in the
most informal manner, in the company
Of friends, without any thought that
they would be reported 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 utter. He claims that under the
circumstances, his remarks should be
regarded as privileged.
Will Be Allowed to Retire.
After the cabinet meeting adjourned,
Secretary Long and Secretary Hay re-
mained a short time with che president
to further discuss the matter. It ls un-
derstood that the captain will soon re-
tire from the service through the reg
ular channel and it is thought that in
view of this fact and further that he
rendered distinguished service at the
naval engagement at Manila, the au-
thorities will show him as much con-
sideration as is consistent with naval
discipline.
According to arrangements made
some days ago for the presidents visit
to Philadelphia he will 60 aboard the
Raleigh next Friday morning as spe-
cial compliment to Captain Coghlan.
Whether, under the circumstances, this
part Of the programme will be changed
cannot now be stated.
