CAPTAIN 5AMMEs AND CAPTAIN WIasLoW.-
The Paris correspondent Of the Times reports
that Captain WinsloW still claims Semmes Of the
Alabama as prisoner, and gives the following
excellent reasons for his claim;
''When q man surrenders," says the Captain,
''he takes upon himself the obligation to deliver
up his person 20 his enemy, for, If such were
not the case, no surrender would ever be accept
Cd there would, in fact, be M such thing as a
surrender. The defeated man would be fred at
until he was killed. or until he bad arrived under
the control Of his enemy. When man sur
renders, therefore, he does so in order that his
enemy may cease the FIRE which is destroying
him and iii were not rule that the surrend-
ering man was 10 come and deliver up his person
his enemy most assuredly would never stop firing
at him, and thus no such thing as a surrender
could exist. Captain Semmes surrendered to
me. and stopped firing in order not to destroy
him and, instead Of delivering himself up, as
he engaged to do by this act, he took advantage
Of the cessation In the firing to escape, and this
escape was accomplished in way which l could
not have deemed possible, and, therefore, did
not foresee. His conduct in this matter shall
not qualify; It will be properly appreciated BY
every sailor. By all the rules Of honorable war
fare he is now my prisoner, and stands, in his
relation to me, as prisoner on parole. In my
opinion Semmes also regards himself as prison.
or on parole, and do not believe he will go
into service again unless he is exchanged The
fact Of his finding refuge under foreign flag or
on foreign soil has nothing to do with his per-
sonRl relations to me, and Captain Semmes so
we'll understands this that he will mot again be
caught on the sea-"
