sizs Of Vessels
WASHINGTON. April e5.-Secretary
Long has received from Admiral
Sampson dispatches telling of the
capture Of several of the Spanish mer-
ehantmen, which are to be held ~
prizes. and to be disposed of according
t. law, if the protests made against
such seizures are held to be without
ground Judge Advocate General
Lemley, the law officer Of the navy
depart ent has been looking up the
statutes ON the subject and Is
prepared to assist the secre-
tary in any way necessary. The
law provides that the condemnation
proceedings in the matter of prize
vessels shall be conducted under the
supervision of the district courta Il
is made the duty of the commanding
officer of the vessel making . capture
to secure the documents of the ship
and cargo and send them together
with certain witnesses from the cap
tured vessel to the district court in
which the proceedings for the dis
tribution of the prize money are to be
had. The attorney for the United
States is to promptly file q libel
against the prize property. and take
other proceedings necessary.
The evidence is to be taken by prize
commissioners not exceeding three in
number. one of whom is to be . re-
tired naval officer. and at least one Of
the other 4 member Of the bar of the
court of not less than three years
standing. and acquainted with the
taking Of dispositions If the sale Of
the prize is ordered the gross pro
ceeds are to be deposited with the Is
sistant treasurer of the United States
at the place nearest to the sale, sub
jet to the order of the court.
The court is to make a decree Of
distribution determining what vessels
are to share in the prize and whether
the prize was of superior, equal or
inferior force to the vessel or vessels
making the capture. The net pro-
ceeds of all property condemned as
prize shall, when the prize was of
superior or equal force to the
vessel or vessels making the capture,
be decreed to its captors This pro
vision was evidently put in the
law with a view to encourage vessel
captains to exert their greatest effort
when meeting foe of superior or OF
equal strength, as the same section OF
the law provides that when the prize
vessel was of inferior force to the
captors, one-half Of the net proceed.
is to be decreed to the United State.
and the other half to the captors In
cases where the amount in controversy
exceeds $4,000 appeals may be taken
