London, April A.-The morning papers unani-
mously condemn the cabled utterances OF captain
Coghlan OF the United States cruiser Raleigh, re-
garding the relations between Admiral Dewey and
the German naval commander at Manila as IN
discretions" and violations OF good manners
Most of them express the opinion that Germany
will treat the incident with "dignifed silence
The Standard" says: While Aguinaldo defes
the United States It Is not for an individual Amer-
can 10 offer insult to other nationalities.
The Daily News" and THE Daily Mall never
theless accept Captain Coghan's statement as the
true version OF Germanys attitude at that time.
THE Times says The promptitude ana Sc
verify of the rebuke administered TO Captain Cogh-
Ian. and the approval 1t meets from public opinion,
are remarkable signs OF the great change wr0ugnt
in America by the events OF the last year, Ihere

COGHLAN MAKES no REPLY.
NAVY DEPARTMENT FAILS TO RECEIVE AN
ANSWER TO REQUEST FOR
EXPLANATION.

EXPLANATION.
Washington. April 23.-Navy Department officials
say that no word has been received from Captain
Coghlan. OF the Raleigh. in response to a request
made OF him by Secretary Long for a statement
as TO whether he was correctly reported in his
recent speech at NewYork respecting the relations
between the Germans and the Americans In the
blockade OF Manila Bay last year.
II is the custom OF the Department when 1t takes
notice OF remarks made by naval officers which
may be regarded as improper offensive TO an in
dividual or nation. first TO call upon the offending
person for a statement as to whether he has been
correctly reported. in preference to taking what
may be printed in the newspapers as a basis OF
action. Captain Coghlans answer 10 the Depart
ments request therefore Will be awaited before any
further attention is given 10 the matter
The officials somewhat surprised TO read IN
the morning papers the additional observations
made by Captain Coghlan In his speech before the
ARMY and Navy Club in New-York last night as
they had hoped he had taken warning by the un,
favorable comments which his former remarks had
caused.
