this largo force will be at the service of

of propositions have been made to the

applications it may be safely stated that
there is no doubt that the department
would oheertully buy the vessel from any
capturing party and pay half million dol.
lars for her, and in the event OF her destruc-
tiou $500, 900; the latter payment however,
