TWO OF THE RICHEST

the American man-o'-war's man, which ho has seen only in pleasant dreams, are now actualities, and common enough at that. Hardly a ship in the navy but has taken part in some engagement which has earned for her officers and men financial reward. Some of the crews have been fortunnto enough to bo entitled to both bounty and prize money.

Bounty money is paid to the officers and crews of ships which sink, disable destroy the warships of the enemy ini battle. Prize money is paid (or the capture of merchant ships Oving tho flag of a hostile comitrj

Of course there is more glory winning bounty money. There will probably be divided among tho inouof Sampson's fleet as a reward for the destruction of Cervera's ships something like $250,000. Admiral Dewey and his men ought to participate in the distribution of about $360,000. These figures aro by no means accurate, for to determine the exact amounts wise old naval sharps must fig-are and debate for mouths.

Perhaps you had imagined that the men in Dewey's fleet were already jingling their bounty money in their pockets. Xothing of the sort. There is too much red tape connected with tho navy department for that. Why, only the other day it was stated that the department had just begun to reckon up its account with Dewey and his men. For that matter, the auditor of the treasury f«r the navy department is still paying bounties for tho destruction of enemy's vessels during the civil war.

This bounty law was passed in 1804, and tho first payments under it were made in 1805 when §7,682 was distributed. In 1 $• iJure was paid $28,241 ill l'SG'i, in Jb'iS, 832,116 in lbGit, !fsir,s)hu in Jt*?0. $:23,870 in 1871, $!•'-.C72 in If-72, $4,677 in 1873, 81-10,JiS.S in 1874, $42,776 in 1875, ,?58,.j58 in 1.^70, £6, 52 in 1877, $14,616. There J-ave I ecu payments since that «w.te, or.' yenr. and recently a claim v.-".»: paid. I nl the detailed receipts i.r.d exi'-emliiures were not printed after is?7.

The method of meeting the claims is to calculate portions of the total amount of bounty to be awarded to each officer and man from data furnished by the navy department. The congress makes an indefinite appropriation to meet the estimated amounts to be paid, and then each claimant must present his.claim and bo identified. As the books are open to each man entitled on the roster to be

t^fKv

PRIZE COMMISSIONER LOCKE,

a participant in the award, the settlement can go on according to the convenience of the men who may be entitled to the bounty. Similar lists have been heretofore prepared, and in all cases the men have not applied for the bounty which is still in tho treasury.

It is believed that the publicity given to tho recent bounty winnings will wake tip many of the old claimants. If history repeats itself in the case of the men of the Asiatic squadron, some of Dewey's officers and men may be collecting their shares of the Manila bounty in 1922.

This law provides that if in a. battle

we sink or dostyyv r.-i'-o to destroy because or tl.i .-u .fias sustained a warship el ,-.u h.i my which is into tiie attacking nited States will men of our sncii' $100 for each ship, the amount

fericr in tv.u shi i:i our iiti Le I pay to tlH-.,/i.ts!ni ami cessiul fl et a 'bounty person on the enemy.'!. to l:e divided the same as prize money. If the enemy's ship is of equal or superior force to ours, the bounty is 9200. If the actual number of men on the hostile i!e.»t is not known, an estimate is made according to the complement of men on one of our vessels of equal fighting force.

In Dewey's case there is the question of relative strength of the squadrons. Tho measure of strength, according to tho law, is tho fighting force of tho ships. Gauged by tho guns in the main battery of both fleets, the usii^l standard of lighting strength, tho American squadron was the superior, having 53 guns to 41 of tho Spnaish. But the fight was not in the open sea. It was in a harbor where the American ships were under the. fire, of four batteries, mounting Krupp guns of from 8 to 13 inches caliber. The Spanish forts combined with the Spanish fleet certainly overmatched Dewey's squadron. If this condition be accepted, the men of the American fleet will be entitled to $200 a mapjnstead off 100.

St Santiago "the enemy's fleet was undoubtedly inferior in strength, so the minimum bounty will be paid. According to naval lists, the Cristobal Colon, Almirante Oquendo, Vizcaya and Maria Teresa and the torpedo catchers Furor and Pluton carried about 2,000 men. The Rein a Mercedes carried perhaps 600 more. Assuming that these estimates of the^forces on the ships are cortfeci, Ihe united States government will be prepared iu due time to pay t-o certain officers and men $250,000.

Tho distribution is according to rank. Although Admiral Sampson did not arrive on tho scone until the fight was all Qy.ert he was within signaling distance, and it will be he, and not Commodore Schley, who will get tho lion's share oi the bounty. His reward will amount to between $10,000 and $12,000, while some of the gunners who fired the shots that did the business will come in for as little as $25 apieco. But that's the way the world goes.

Th^_methods_ of determining prize money are much simpler. Under the rules for the capture of prizeships the commander of a fleet, although he may bo miles from the seeuo of action, is entitled to one-twentieth of "half of the value of the prize which goes to the captor! One-half of tho value of all vessels and cargoes goes to tho government. But as a stimulus to greater ex-

Mj

SELLIXG A SPAN'ISII PRIZE STEAMER AT KEY WEST. ertion on the part of all members of a fleet, from tho commander down to the Jack Tar in the ranks, there is a scale of division of fche remainder of the prize. Of the half which goes to tho captors personally one-twentieth part goes to tho commanding officer of the fleet, one-hundredth to the fleet captain and the remainder to the men and officers of the-capturing ships in proportion to the amount of their regular pay.

It is almost impossible to estimate accurately at. this time what is the value of the ships and their cargoes which already have been captured by the United States fleet that is blockading Cuba. The captured vessels are of various ages, and the cargoes vary to such an extent that until they are sold under the hammer no one can know their real value. A conservative estimate places the amount of prize money coming to Admiral Sampson at near $40,000. He will be fairly well to do by the time the war is over. ^ome of the Spanish steamers and vessels captured as prizes have already been sold at auction at Key West, and most of them brought good prices. Before a prizo can be sold the vessel must be condemned by a prize court. The only court of this description now operating in the United States is the one at Key West, presided over by the Hon. James W. Locke, presiding judge of the Florida district. Judge Locke has'had large experience in dealing with admiralty cases. In the last few years ho has had numerous filibustering cases.

The naval representative among the prize commissioners is Comi*ander J. K. Winn, retired. Commander Winn is one of the four officers who went into the navy from the merchant marine and was promoted to the regular service for distinguished efficiency and bravery. He has frequently served as a prizo commissioner.

Jordan M. Phipps, another prizo commissioner, is a leading lawyer of Key West He recently became state senator. Mr. Pbipps is a native of Tennessee. The third commissioner is Julius Otto, Esq., of Kay West and is a member of the Florida bar. He was appointed to succeed J. Bowne Patterson, whom Judge Locke originally appointed. The clerk of the prize court, Mr. E. O. Locke, is a New Hampshire man and a graduate of the New Hampshire college, Dartmouth, in 1870. He practiced law in Key West until 1894, when he removed to Jacksonville.

THE ROYAL BOX.

The coming child of tho Princess Holeno of Aosta, if it prove to bo a boy, stands a good chance of succeeding to tho throne of Italy, as tho Princo of Naples has as yet no children.

It is reported from Tho Hague that on the occasion of tho coronation of Queen Wilholmina several Dutch Indian princes nre expected to bo prosent at tho festivities. Tho sultan of Siak, with a large suit, will attend.

ANIMAL ODDITIES.

The offensive weapon of tho ostrich is his leg. Ho can kick as hard as a mule, and it is a remarkable fact that his kick is forward, never backward.

The elephant does not smell with his trunk. His olfactory nerves aro contained in a single nostril, which is in the roof of the mouth near the front.

When the barn owl fias a young family, itr hunts diligently and brings to its nest about five mice in an hour. As both of tho parent birds aro actively employed both in the evening and at dawn, 40 mice a day is a low estimate for tho total capture.

Butterflies, besides being inconstant and frivolous, are now said to be addicted excessively to drink. They will suok up moisture for an hour at a time.

A Little Sufferer

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With Scrofulous Humors— How a Curo Was Effected.

When five years old my little boy had scrofula on his fnee. hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on lii3 cheeks and hands were very bad. It appeared in the form of red pimples which would fester, break open end Tun and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the os'ly medicine which had helped her was Hood's Sarsaparilla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted an improvement in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out of his blood and it has never returned." WILLIAM BARTZ, 416 South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.

You can buy Hood's Sarsapaailla of all druggists. Be sure to get only Hood's.
