Briefs in the Adula case, now before the

The Adula will be remembered as the
only prize of the Spanish-American war

at Guantanamo, and the day of her cap
ture marked the beginning of a series Of
unfortunate events, including complica-

tom of the sea.
Notwithstanding the Adula is no longer
in existence, the claims of her captors,

while she was in port at Savannah, and
the court officials still hold good. The two
latter have an easy thing as the govern
ment assures the payment of their claims
