Great admiration is expressed at the de-
partment at the cool pluck and discretion
shown by the young cadet, George w.
Powell, who took command of The New
1orks steam launch and lay under the
batteries for many hours until he was sat
lSlled from his own observation that the
Merrimac had gone down before he return
ed to the flagship. 1t is felt that his feat
involved a display of quite as much ccur-
age as was shown by the Merrimac crew
and he is likely to profit by it. Young
PoWel vas known as One of Hobson's
Chickens. When Hobson joined the SQUAD
ron he secured permission from the au-
thorities to take with him three young
naval cadets from the academy at Annapo-
lis. Tney were included in his own class
of naval architecture al the academy and
he wished to take them with him to sup
plement the theoretical force by some
practical experience in the effect of eX-

Prizes 10 BE Used as Transports.

The government has decided to take for
use as transports at least four of the ves-
sells which have been captured from the
Spanish by United States warships Au-
thority for this action is found in section
4,624. of the Revised Statutes. When prize
property is appropriated to the use of the
government, the department taking it is to
deposit the value thereof with the assistant
United States treasurer nearest to the
place of the session of the court The
money is then subjected to the order of
the court as to the distribution to be made
among the officers and the seamen making
the capture of the vessel or other property
The four ships which the government has
decided to take are the Panama, Guido. Pc
dro and the Argonauta- By this step the
War Department will secure four extra
ships for use in the West Indian Campaign
and the beneficiaries under the law may OBJ
tain a greater amount than II the vessels
were sold to private individuals or corpo-
rations.
