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
considerable 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
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.

SOON RETlRES
Cabinet Practically Decides to
Take No Action in the
Coghlan Case.
Rendered Good Service at Manila
and Will Be Shown Con-
sideratiOn.
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 on 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-
manned a short time with the president
to further discuss the matter. 1t is 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 go aboard the
Raleigh next Friday morning as a spe-
cial compliment to Captain Coghlan.
Whether, under the circumstances, this
part of the programme will be changed
cannot now be stated.
