holding the battle ground at dark though

The next morning Saturday the posi-

that our army is on . more in communica-

How Prize Money Is Distributed.

Pri;e money, belonging TO off ieers and
men in the navy. is distributed in the fol-
loving manne':-The commanding officer
of feet Of squadron receives one-twenti-
eth part Of the prize money awarded to q
commander OF a single ship one lenth part.
If such ship, at the time of making the
capture. was under the immediate CON-
manding officer of the feet or squadron.
and threetwentietbs if his ship was acting
independently of such superior Officer
The share of the commander Of the fret
and of the commander of the ship being
deducted, the residue is distributed among
all others doing duty on board, according
to their respective rates of pay in the SER
vice. The law provides that if one or more
vessels in the navy shall be within signal
distance OF another in making q prize, oil
shall share in the prize. and the money be
distributed among the officers and crew of
both. Commanders of fleets or squadrons
are not entitled to receive any share of
prizes taken BY vessels not under their i'm
mediate command. nor Of such vessels. nor
Of such prizes as may have b,en taken By
ships or vessels intended to be plsred M
der his comm and before they have sci ID
under bis im mediate orders. The question
has been asked whether the officers and
crews Of aimed vessels not belonging TO
the navy. are entitled to prize money
The law says they are, and it provides for
its distribution in the same manner as
among the officers and seamen in the navy.
It is generally supposed that the fees Of the
United States Marshal are ex essiye in
prize cases; but recent act provides that
the annual salaries of the District Attor-
neys. Prize Commissioners and Marshal
shall in no case be so increased under the
several acts for compensation in prizes.
as to ex ,ed in the aggregate the follow
ing sums:-District Attorney, $4,000:
Prize Commissioner. $4,000; Marshal,
