PRIZE MONEY FOR WARsHIPs.
Admiral Dewey Files the First of the
Naval Claims.

Admiral George Dewey has filed in the
Court of Claims, through his attorney, ex
Secretary Herbert, his claim for naval
bounty growing out of the battle at Ma
Mia Bay, May l, 1898. This is the first of
this class of claims filed in this court,
and it is anticipated that there will be
between 1000 and 5000 of them altogether
Many of these claims were originally filed
before the Navy Department, under the
provisions of section 1879 of the Revised
Statutes for sinking or otherwise destroy
ing vessels belonging to Spain, on various
dates during the period from April p, when
active naval operations against that coun-
try were entered upon, until the suspen-
sion of hostilities upon the signing of the
protocol, August T. 1898.
These claims involve controverted ques-
tons of fact and law, the decision of which
will affect a number of cases, and will fur
nish a precedent for the future action of
the Navy Department in the adjustment of
this class of cases.
The Secretary of the Navy, after consul
tation with the Attorney General, and with
his approval. has referred to the Court
of Claims number of these claims, in
der that the matters involved may receive
judicial consideration. The claims referred
to the Court of Claims are the following:
U. S. F. S. New York-Spanish fleet, San
tiago, Cuba, July g. 1898.
L. IS. S. Concord-Manila Bay, May l,
1898.

feet, Santiago, Cuba, July 3, 1898.

July 49, 1898.
U. S. B. S. Observation-Disclosures money
and bounty for sinking Reina Mercedes,

U. S. S. McCulloch-Manila Bay, May 1,

U. s. B. s. Texas-Almirante Oquendo,

U. s. B. S. Texas-Vessels taken by terms
of capitulation of Santiago and eastern
province of Cuba.

trella, disabling gunboat Cuba Espenda and
torpedo boat Delgado; sinking of sloop with
soldiers burning armed vessel, all in en-
gagement against superior force, harbor
Manzanillo, Cuba July 80, 1898
The Secretary of the Navy is given au-
thority to refer these claims to the Court
of Claims for decision under provision of
section of the act of March 3, 1888, en-
titled: IAN act to afford assistance and re-
lief to Congress and the executive depart
ments in the investigation of claims and
demands against the government"
/ The purpose of the reference of the claims
| is to get a judicial determination by the
court of the rights of all parties interested.

Women Have Influence,

BY the way, the women of Colorado con-
stitrte a political factor not to be sneezed
at. Ex-Gov. Waite, he of bloody brides"
fame, admits that they were the cause of
his defeat, which fact alone is princely
compensation for those men who gave
them suffrage. It is almost impossible for
an aspirant WHO is generally opposed by
the women to win. They seem to hold the
balance of power. rand when thew are
aroused many of the best of them turn ont
and vote in great numbers.
Strange to say the business men esne-
ciaily those in the cities, are not as welded
to free silver as ! expected to find them.
Many of them, are openly opposed to the
theory and are inclined to let well enough
alone. The sentiments however, among the
working men in the, mines, the smelters
and generally in the rural districts is as
enthusiastic foruBryan and free silver az
ever. Mr. Patterson, iof course is aware of
this fact, and he is not losing any ardor
for the white metal and the Chicago Mat
form as whole. Indeed in all annear
ances it would sesmbthat his chances for
capturing the imuch-coveted senatorsb;n
are the best Mr.. Patterson has made
some enemies in Denver, and, perhaps in
other Colorado cities, by his Jealous and
at times daring championship of labor in
and out of season, but his supporters love
him the more for the making of those
same enemies, and his friends who are in
deed legion are as devoted as any man
ever had He is an orator of great ah;Iity
as well as a lawyer of wide reputation and
gentleman whose society is ever sought
OF broad education, wide experience and
great wealth, few men could make a hettar
representative of the state of Colorado in
the exclusive and august United States SEN
ate.

Experiments With High Explosives.


The War Department has recently con-
Guided an exhaustive series of experiments
at Sandy Hook with high explosives and
light field guns that promises to mark a
material advance in the artillery branch
Of the service. The experiments were I'M
der the board of ordnance and fortihcations
composed of both line and staff officers and
of which the major general commanding
the army is chairman. The recommended
lions of the board are in shape to be pre-
scented to the Secretary Of War and, If
adopted, will result in arming the troops in
the Philippines with the most advanced
type of light field guns in the world. The
board has decided on type of field gun
which can fire fifteen armed shots per min
ute, which can be operated by one man. and
which its full crew can take to pieces in
thirteen seconds for loading on mule back
for transportation wherever needed Ii is
three-inch caliber, can carry solid shot,
shrapnel or a bursting charge of high ex-
pfosive, which will Kill by conclusion In a
radius of 200 feet. The high explosive has
been tested for a year and is said to be SUI

request the Commissioners 10 order a force

The market company has protested vainly,
