Secretary Long Writes a Letter Defending the Navy Department. THE LATTER HAS BEEN CRITICISED. Bfaa ort of t Is.nis. Jot the ftavj PeBBrtntirttli ib "Hr,u wl rice Mono. I utter l it Rxistecb Bksl nYMeb n UmM ii i KBpsaledi Washingttiu. Jan. 7.--Secretnry !. ong kSS addressed 0 Senator Knute KelSOtt, Of Minnesota, a long letter i. lending the navy department Strains! what is declared to be un friendly criticism in Connection with the distribution of pte money and bounty The letter is called fortii by one from the senator, asking for in-j foi ination on this point, for the use of u western newspaper. The sec retary deelares that the criticism thai the department has discriminated for1 tdmiral Bampaoa and against Admiral Schley In the distribution of prize money and bounty, is unjust, because the department has no control over this matter, the money being distributed from the treasury, und all questions of law and fact rel-j utive to prise and bounty having been determined by the courts. The sec- j rotary calls attention to the laws touching pri. e and tmuntj as they ex- j Isted at the beginning of the Spanish war, and savs thSt.thOUgh advised by the attorney general that it might, make I distribution, the navy department preferred to place the matter in the court of claims, and so far from displaying favoritism, adoplcd the effective means in its power to secure a. just determination by courts of law ;.f the rights of all concerned. Touching the claim of Admiral j Sampson for bounty at Santiago, the secretary savs that the distribution was made under u decree of the court of claims, which he cites, and from which no appeal was taken. Be further points out that, under the prize laws, the commander-in-chief of the ilect is entitled to bis 'one-twentieth" of bounty by virtue of his position as eoeninander-in-cbief, whether he is personally present during the engagement or not. Savs the secretary: "As commander-in-chief . Admiral ' Sampson would, therefore, under the law. have been entitled to his share of the bounty for the destruction ol , the Spanish ships tit Santiago if he 1 id bccll ell 1 lie north shore of Cubs nt the time, This was the law, f OT I which the navv department is nowise responsible." On this point the secretary says that the department itself was the first to res Use the inequalities of this law and to make reconimendat ions I which b d to its repeal, so that "a rather amusing feature of the at-t.-u ks made upon the navy depart tn.-nt," as the secretary puts it. is j that the administration is blamed more than tWO years after it had cured the evil. The secretary conclude! bis letter with an extract from the report of the auditor of the treasury for the navy department showing the status of the prise money and bounty cases, yet unsettled, owing tc. delays In the courts, and predicting a settlement within a year.
