DEAD MEMS RELATIVES
What They Will bs Ea.itled to From
the Government

No additional information has been re
ceived at the navy department in regard TO
the vessels wrecked at Samoa. Immediate
relatives of tn use who lost their lives in the
wreck will be entitled 10 pensions under the
general law. The pension is Sc month for
a seamans wi'ow and 81 a month for each
child under sixteen years of age. In the
case of W d1ws of officers i, is propor,iona.e
ly larger.
The parents of the dead persons will have
TO prove that they were dependent upon their
sons for support to en'i lie them TO pensions
Congress will probably also pass a special
act making reimbursement for the eff, cts
and baggage of the officers and men lost in
the wreck. This was done in the case of the
Huron, which went down on the Hstteras
coast fifteen years ago.
