While Sampson Draws $4,000 Prize,
. - tt - y. - Money. 1 - - !
New York, Sept. IA dispatch from
Washington says: At least 81 100000
prize money will be distributed among
American sailors as a result Of the
war with Spain. More than one-half
of tEis sum will be paid in accordance
with that section of the law providing
for the payment of bounty for per-
sons on board vessels of war sunk in
action. 1t is estimated that the aggre-
gate amount due the Asiatic fleet as a
result of the destruction of the Spanish
fleet amounts to $197 800, which con-
gress will be asked to appropriate
during the coming session. One-twen-
tieth of this sum belongs to Rear Ad-
miral Dewey as commander-in-chief,
and he will, therefore, be $9,375 richer
than he was before the war. Rear Adj
miral Sampson has realized snug lit.
tie fortune as the result of the war.
AS commander-in-chief of the North
Atlantic fleet he will get one-tWentieth
Of every prize taken in North Atlantic
waters and one-twentieth of the head
money allowed for the vessels de-
stroyed off Santiago and in, Cuban
ports. 1t is estimated that he will
finally receive about $4,000 as his
share of prize money. =.

Madrid, Sept. 1.-The chambers as
selnbled here. yesterday. Thus far only
routine business has been transacted.
AT the opening Of the senate the sec
rotary read letter from Senior Rod.
erlguez, a senator from Porto Rico, re-
fuslng to obey the summons to attend.
The premier, Senior Sagasta, arrayed in
the insignia of his Office, assembled the
tribune and read a decree authorizing
the government to present to the cham
Der, draft Of a law empowering the
ministers to renounce sovereignty over
the colonies, in conformity with the
stlpulatlons of the peace preliminaries
between Spain and the United States.
Inc president Of the senate proposed a
secret discussion of the subject, and,
despite the protest Of some of the SEN
ators ordered that the galleries be.
cleared, (which was done amid loud
murmurs Of disapproval.
The chamber Immediately began the
discussion Of the press censorship. and
deputy inquired the motive underly-
ing a circular which Gen. Ch;nchiI1a,
captain general Of Madrid, had adj
dressed to newspapers regulating their
reports of the. sessions of the cOrtes.
He declared the censorship was incon-
sistently applied, and the effect of the
circular was to punish possible errors
in advance. Those who had expected
sensational scenes on the reopening Of
the chambers were disappointed. The
general public seems Indifferent. The
people at large are apparently con-
WINGED that Spain must accede to,
whatever the United States demands.
At the close Of the censorship discus
sion, in which deputies who are jour
nalists protested against the attitude
of the government, Senior Romero y
Robledo accused the government of il
legality in continuing the suspension Of
the constitutional guarantees after the
reopening of the cortes. He demands
immediate DEGREES revoking the sus-
pension. ID
Senior Capdepon, the minister Of the
interior, replied that the time was not
opportune to revoke the suspension,
and reminded Senior Romero y Robledo
that a former government, of which
Senior Robledo was "a member, had
acted in the same way in 1875. The
chamber-then adjourned.

Inc car was upon the tracks before
the train loomed up in sight, and no
power on earth could have saved it.
The motorman evidently saw the train
approaching, as he opened his con-
troller, but in vain. With crash that
was heard for blocks the engine struck
into the lighter vehicle. The effect was
horrible. The motor car parted in
two, both sections being hurled into
the air in splinters. The mass of hu-

Those in front Of the car met with the
worst fate. The collision was there

points and delivered his supplies.

it will be still greater on account of
the inability Of the Cubans to forage
and raid various places where they for

says one reason why the Spaniards are

the Cubans is that they want to. COM
