force, the governments portion 60
ing to the pension fund. The prize
court recognizes the claim of a person,
not an enemy, who wishes to estab-
fish his right of property in the con-
demned vessel, and, if he so estab-
fishes his right, he is entitled to the
captured property and damages from
the captor for seizing and sending to
port his vessel and property. If the
court condemns vessel, she is sold,
or appraised.if the government re-

among the captors, the commodore
getting one-twentieth of the half
awarded the captors; the captain Of
the flagship getting one-hundreth Of
the half, the captain of the vessel
which effects the capture gets one
tenth of the half, and the remainder
is divided among the officers and crew

extension of benefit, of course, minim-

value to yield each man good wad

Captures in neutral waters are IL
legal. To be legitimate, the capture
must be effected on the high seas or
in the territorial waters of one of the
belligerents.

1t would seem to be good invest
ment upon the part of the govern
ment to buy the Holland submarine
boat and put it in active service. Its
inventor has offered to 60 ito Cuba and
blow up Moro Castle. and he ought
to be given the job at once. If he
made a success of the job, it would
prove the utility of the boat and at
once stamp it the terror Of the seas.
Besides the blowing up of MORO Cas-
tie it would be something Of an offset
to SPANS work on the Maine. Moro
has been the center of oppression of
the Spanish rule in Cuba, and with
the dawn of liberty it would not be a
bad thing to have it wiped out as a
notice to Spain that the end of their
lease there has arrived. AS to the
submarine boat, it would, from all &C
counts, be most powerful aid to our
naval forces, and ought to be secured,

There is great deal of news COM
ing out of Washington as to what the
government expects to do, and detail
ing moves that will be made. Of
course of all the guesses that are made
by trained correspondents who are
familiar with such matters, it would
be strange if some of them were not
somewhere near what is intended be-
ing done. Yesterday it was published
that the board of strategy in the navy
department had concluded that if the
Spanish navy would not come over
here to fight US, that the scene OF war
would be transferred across the At
lantic, after Cuba is over-run. While it
is possible the board has been consid-
ering such phase of the question, it
is not likely the public would know
anything about it at present at least.
1t would be most foolish for our gov.
eminent to make war plans and then
publish them to the world before it
even has time to take steps to put
them into operation. 1t is not doing
of the kind just now.

The Swedish-American Republican
club gave most enjoyable entertain
ment at the A. o. y. w. hall Friday
night, attended by about three hun

patriotic nature. Attorney A. O..

referred to the duty which every man
and woman owes to the country, and
spoke of the qualities of good citizen

The glee club of sixteen male voices
rendered some fine songs, and the

skillfully. Harvey Johnson, boy

Miss Alphilda Nordgren played a vio-
lin solo very nicely.
A dance followed, the music being
furnished by Pohl's orchestra, which
had also opened the program.

THE rRIZE COURT.

The Minneapolis Journal publishes
a description of the working of the
prize court, which in view Of the
many captured Spanish merchantmen
will be of general interest, and we re-
produce it in full. 1t says:
The prize court of inquiry has met
1T Key West to determine the legiti-
macy of the marimacy of the mari
time prizes captured since April q
by our warships.
The prize court will determine all
prize causes, and it's jurisdiction
makes it's sentence weighty, the con-
stitution of the United States declar-
ing that "the judicial power shall ex-
tend to all cases of admiralty and
maritime Jurisdiction. The prize
courts are the federal district courts
and the cases are heard upon the de.
positions of the witnesses in an
swers to interrogatories and upon the
ships papers. The flag of the cap
tured vessel is regarded as prima facie
evidence of the vessels nationality A
libel is filed and monition is given
to interested parties. An appeal from
the determination Of prize court
may be had to the supreme court
when the matter in dispute exceeds
$4,000, or when question of general
importance is raised. The prize
money, under the act of 1864, goes to

"This morning &C nsulted with
Adjuctant General Muehlberg, in
regard to recruiting a new ma
tional guard. We decided to re
cruit two regiments at once, au-
thorizing the following towns to
raise companies with the under
standing that they are to have
the preference of enlisting first

one: Madison, Fergus Falls, Park

Benson, Morris, Willmar, Litch-
field, Winthrop, Worthington, Lu-
verne, Owatonna, West Duluth,
one company each; Minneapolis
and St. Paul two companies each.
All instructions will be given by
the adjutant general"
The governor talked very freely Of
his action and of the visit Of the com
mittee. 81 told them they had hon
ors enough" said he. "We had not
asked them to go to war. If they pre-
ferred their national guard they could
stay at home. There are companies
all over the state waiting anxiously in
the hope these same officers and mer
might choose the national guard. ]
told them we were making pets OF
them in Offering them the chance to
volunteer"
From the recital of one of the Off.
GERS present at the interview, the
governor, true to his habit, couched
his sentiments in very plain English.
Colonel Bobleter acted as spokesman.
The executive said IN reply: Gentle
men, we are going to organize two

You can 60 to the front or remain in

may refuse to volunteer; one company
may, or regiment, and I'll fill the
place in twenty-four hours"
''Were we sure of war of year OF

of the guard would hesitate" said one
officer. "But we may never 60 out.

years with the guard, and yet our or,

out. It's pretty hard"
In distributing companies for the
new regiments Governor Clough has
purposely recognized sections of the
state heretofore not represented.

powder mill has been bio

Another powder mill has been blown
up, this time in Pennsylvania. 1t is
suspected that it is the work of
Spanish spies. Suspicious characters
were seen around the premises for
two or three days previous to the de-
struction. This was also the case
with the one destroyed in California.
1t would seem that it was about time
that the government put guard
around the mills, and that all suspic-
ious characters who come in the vi
cinitY be at once arrested and held
until they are able to give good &C
count of themselves. If they are
agents of Senior Polo, shooting is none
too good for them.

Is right in line with thee.

My weeping eyes grow red,
For fear to find my darling's name
Numbered with the dead.
But every mothers heart will throb,
With love and glad surprise,
When victory crowns the righteous,
Beneath the Cuban skies.
And when, my son, you home return,
Bronzed with southern sun,
An arm or leg perhaps missing,
Or other damage done,
My furrowed face shall not betray
One sigh or sad regret,
If you but do your duty well,
Beneath this bannerette.
