Washington, April 22.—N0 word has come to the Navy Department since last Thursday relative to the facts of Lieu tenant Gilmore and the fourteen sai’ors of the Yorkto.vn who wve ambushed and captured at Baler on the Island of Luzon. Today Secretary Long addressed an inquiry by cable to Admiral Dewey to ascertain whether he could supply any further information on this point. The Secretary says la* has no doubt the Admiral is doing \Vhat is best to succor the men. and it is suggested that he has refrained from making public bis plans to prevent the insurgents from taking advantage of the information to conceal their captives. The arrival of the Yorktown at Manila has not been reported to the Department, and it is not known whether or not she sailed from Iloilo, where she re ported by cable the bad news to Admiral Dewey, or whether Commander Sperry put back from Iloilo after having secured reinforcements.

Washington, April 22.—The German Ambassador, Dr. Von Holleoen called mi Secretary Hay tody, which led to re ports that the attention of the State De partment had been called to the remarks "l Captain Coughlini, of the cruiser Ral eigh. at a New York banquet last night, atoadt^nh —lib El.Et: ona.r einfwyprdlu relating to his personal observations of a rebuke and threat administered by- Admiral Dewey to the Gorman naval commander at Manila. It was stated pusitivejy, however, that no protest or i DpivsDiit.itions were iiiftilo, jis it is un* derstood to be the German view that this is a matter in which the authorities hero should be left to take the initia tive. At the same time Captain Coghlan’* remarks caused considerable displeasure in high diplomatic naval quarters, main ly because they arc contrary to the pol icy which the two Governments have adopted of giving as little public expres sion as possible to the friction which may have occurred at Manila. Tint in the present case, owing to Captain Coglihm’s splendid services, ' they are not disposed to be captious in their criti cism of Lis utterances. *WE WERE READY FOR EM.” New York.

LEADS ALL NORtN CAROLINA DMUEB 11 lEIB AND CIRCULATION, which he reiterated what he said before the Union League Club on Friday night. He said in part: ‘T feel inclined to say only a few words this evening because what I said hist night was taken umbrage at by some one at Washington who protested against what I said. What I did say hist night was true, and what I said I will say again. (Great applause.) I said it because I felt it. 1 am certain we all felt that we were being magged at Ma nila. We were nearly nagged to death. There is such a thing as being nagged too far—and. damn ’em we were ready for them. I had read a great deal in the newspapers of what occurred at va rious places in the Philippines, and I thought that the newspaper* had no: placed that grand old man. Admiral Dewey, in the proper light, and that is the reason 1 thought: I was justified in placing him in the proper light. “My remarks in the papers were garbled. I will not say they are incor rect in substance or untrue, but they Wore distorted and twisted so as to put a different meaning in them. If anyone will reason a little they will understand mir situation. We were a longways from home a long time. We all showed Ad miral Dewey that we were with him thoroughly and heartily. We felt that we were belittled and nagged until our patience could stand it no longer. ’’The Admiral was a man who could stand it a long time. Rut when 1 lit* moment came he stopped it. and tliey never moved a hair afterward.” Stopping a lew minutes and looking about the auditors. Captain Coghlan raised his hands and. placing the palms ol" his hands close together said: /‘I did think at one time that we were that close to killing them. (Great ap plause.) One word, one not would have done it." There is no truth in the report that Vice President Hobart has decided not to be a candidate for Vice President. Mr. Hobart has not reached any conclu sion.

Herr Marquardt asserts that his property was stolen and destroyed by Malietoa Tanks’ hosts and that millions of other German property was likewise destroyed. The writer then asks who will pay the damages? / • Herr Von Wolffersdorff asserts that the British Consul. Mr. Maxso, and Captain Sturdee are both guilty of the grossest misconduct in exceeding their treaty powers. 11 1* claims they treated the Germans like captives and continued an almost incessant shelling of German houses under various pretexts. He adds that the most intense indignation pre vailed among the Samoan Germans against the British excesses. Otherwise, llerr Yon Wolffersdorff's reports agree with the German official reports.
