Doings in the Court OF Claims.

WASHINGTON, May "a.
In the court of claims today, Judge Davis
delivered the unanimous opinion Of the court
upon the general questions raised by the
counsel in regard to French spoliation claims
as to the rights of insurers and the quality of
evidence that will be required. After over
ruling certain formal objections to petitions,
the court, citing number of authorities,
holds that insurers of captured vessels are not
forced to sue in the names of owners whom
they insured, but may sue in their own names
and are entitled to recover what loss they ac-
tually paid, even though there were no tech
nical abandoments, as seizure and confsca-
ton amounted to total loss, which, by the law
of insurance, does not demand formal
abandonment or cession in order to vest the
rights in insurers.
