he been aware of the fact that she was the richest prize of the war, he no doubt would have lost no time in over hauling her. The expense of adjudica- tion amounted to $S2, ,5S1, leaving a net result of S510.914
 The Magnolia also captured, without assistance, the steamer Matagorda, the net proceeds from which amounted to $353, ,56S. The net total of the two prizes was $864. .4S2.
 The law of prizes provides that when the prize vessel is of superior or equal force to the vessel making the capture, the entire proceeds shall be given to the captors; but If the captured vessel he of inferior force, then the captors shall receive one-half, the Government taking the other half.
 In the case of privateers and letters Of marque, however, the captors receive the whole prize, unless otherwise pro- vided in the commission issued to the vessel. Under the law, the Magnolia was awarded one-half the prize money, amounting to s432,241 which was ready for distribution in November, 1863. Lieutenant Budd's share from the Memphis was $3S,31S, and from the Matagorda, S26,517, making a total of $64, ,S35.
 Lieutenant Budd was a happy-go- lucky devil. He was brought up in the merchant service, was every inch a fighter and strict disciplinarian. While in command of a small vessel he was ordered to Newport harbor for a time to protect it against the raids os some of the lighter Confederate cruiS- CTS that were operating along the North Atlantic coast. One evening, while visiting on board one of the yachts in the harbor, he got into some discussion, in the course of which uncomplimentary remarks were made about the navy. Budd resented the re- factions cast upon the naval service, and finally got into a fight with some of the guests. He was badly beaten by an overwhelming force, and was put ashore in a boat. As the boat pulled away from the yacht he yelled out that he would settle with them later.
 The next evening Budd armed him. self with a revolver, and with an armed boats crew went gunning for the yachtsmen. Leading his force into the Ocean House he created the widest commotion. The yachtSmen, having been warned by servant, hurriedly retreated. Budd, however, marched through the halls with his men. The women screamed and fled either to their rooms or out of the building. F1- nally he ran afoul Of Commodore Jef fers, his superior officer, who ordered him to return to his ship.
 This incident occurred after the cap ture of the two prizes by the Magnolia. The last time I saw Budd, some years ago, he was living in New York and was holding some public office.

 modern improvements and chang ed conditions, make the life of officers viting than when I entered the navy forty seven years ago. The man-of- wars man, as a rule, sees nearly all the principal seaports of the world He soon acquires an experience of great practical value, and especially so should he at any time withdraw from the navy to engage fn.some commercial or professional pursuit. While the pay is fair at all times, there comes in time of war a remunerat tion in the way of prize money and bounties that in many cases gives a man a comfortable nest egg, and Occasionally a small fortune.

General Lawton advanced and took

WILL GO TO SPAIN,
NAVY DEPARTMENT SAYS FLEET
WILL BE SENT TO SPAIN.
Of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Decided
o. Whea It Was Discovered That Adnl-
raj Canaan Intenas to Go to Manila.

WASHINGTON. June ss.-FOr the first
time in the worlds history a naval ex-
petition will go from the Western
hemisphere to attack Continental Eu-
rope.
This startling announcement, al
though occasionally predicted. came
officially yesterday forenoon. when the
navy department posted this bulletin:
Commodore Watson sails to-day in
the Newark to join Sampson, when he
will take under his command an ar
mored squadron with cruisers and pro-
coed at once of the Spanish coast"
Later the Navy department issued q
second bulletin, showing the ships to
be placed under Commodore Watson's
command. The ships named are as
follows:
Flagship Newark. battleships Iowa
and Oregon, cruisers Yosemite. Yankee
and Dixie and the Golfers Scandal.
Abarenda and Alexander. The ad
vance will be made at once from San
tiago.
Commodore John Crittenden Watson
Is well fitted to perform the duties of
his new assignment. He was Farra-
quits flag lieutenant at 10 and was in
all Farragut's fights from the capture
of New Orleans to Mobile bay. In the
last named fight young Watson as
sisted in flashing the admiral to the
rigging of the Hartford.
Since the close of the war Commo-
dore Watson has served on board of or
commanded ships of our navy in all
parts of the world.
The impression which seems to pre-
vail in some quarters that the sending
of this-feet to Spain is intended solely
to prevent Admiral Camara from going
to the Philippines is erroneous. There
is no question that this move has been
under consideration for some time.
and it is the fixed intention of the
government to send vessels to
Spain's home waters whether Ca
mara's feet proceeds to the Phil
lppines or not. II it returns

Britain's Triplet of Crosses.

From the Boston Transcript: Great
Britain's national flag has been called
"a triplet of crosses" for it is composed
of the cross Of st. George, the cross OF
st. Andrew and the cross of st. Patrick.
Thus, the flag of st. George for Mar-
RE England a red cross on a white
ground, the red lines drawn straight
from top to bottom and from side to
side; the flag of st. Andrew for Scot
lard, a white cross on blue ground:
the flag of st. Patrick for Ireland, red
cross on a white ground, the narrow
red lines drawn from corner to corner.
By placing the cross of ST. George on
that Of st. Andrew We have ''the jack, I"
as ordered in 1906 by James l.. whose
signature was always Jacques" hence
the expression ''the jack" By laying
the cross of st. Patrick over that Of st.
Andrew and then placing that of st.
George over both We have ''the union
Jack" as borne since the union with
Ireland in 1900.
