finding of the court is in accordance with
he request the admiral's share of the
bounty Will he ST., 1893.
The attorneys base their case upon the
claim that the defeated Spanish force
was superior to the American squadron.
1t is not contended that the enemy's
fleet was superior, but that, taking into
consideration the guns at Corregidor, Ell
Fraile and other forts at the entrance
Of the bay and those at Manila and Ca
vite, which fired upon the American ships
continuously, the enemy's force was SUI
perior. Land batteries comprised &c
guns ranging in calibre from 9.45 inch to
800 inches; their weight is computed at
$3.50 pounds. The enemy's vessels were
also supported BY mines and torpedoes
in the entrance to Manila bay and the
bay itself and some Of these, the brief
states, exploded during the action.
The total number Of men on the Span
ish fleet II given at 2.973, but no claim for
bounty is made on account Of the Ma
Mia, which was captured comparatively
ulinjurea, or Of the Don Juan de Aus
tria, the 1sla de cuba and the Isla de
Luzon, which We're raised after sinking
and are nov in the United States navy.
The complement of the three latter yes

board, making $50 and to this must be
added the complement of the Manila,
a total of Lib. Deducting this from the
total of 2.097 leaves 1924 as the numbe
on board the destroyed vessels. A COM
parison IF the American gun force en-
tirely aboard ship with the Spanish
forces partly anoat and partly ashore,
cannot be made, gun for gun unless it
be accepted that a gun is equally efli-
cient on a vessel as on land.
In making a comparison of American
and Spanish guns. so per cent should be
added to the number Of shore guns, the
attorneys contend The result is favor
able to the Spanish side except in the
guns from siX-pounders down. where
there is q slight superiority on the Am
erican side. The weight of guns of the
Spaniards was nearly double that OF the
American forces, the amount of metal
thrown in one round by the American
ships being $500 pounds, against 10000
by the enemy.
TT must be concedad.' the brief states,
that the entrance Of the fleet under Ad-
miral Dewey through a channel mined
with torpedoes and its maneuvers in the
bay whore unseen dangers threatened
every mnment required the highest de-
gree of personal CALAMITY and heroism.
These are not to be disregarded in con-
STRUNG this statute. IT is regarded that
mines hnuld be counted as q part Of the
Spaniard's effective force. IF mines arc
to be counted in as mart of the force Of
vessels thew are aiding, we cannot com
ceive by reasoning that will exclude
shore batteries also engaged in aiding
and defending in battle.'
