EXTRA PAY FOR SAILORS.
Applicants Must Send Their Dis

HpeTS 10 tITc Z.
The auditor for the Navy Department
Mr.. Frank II. Morris, says he is being
flooded with letters in regard to the extra
pay for volunteer searen who served in the
navy during the with Spain. An err
roneous idea has gone abroad that the ap-
pliCant for this extra pay has nothing to do
but send his name to the auditor. Mr. Nor
ris says that this is not all by any means.
In addition to making application the next
most important step is to accompany the
letter with the discharge papers. This will
save time and correspondence.
The law provided that thirty days extra
pay should be given to volunteer seamen
who served in this country during the war
and sixty days to those who served in
foreign waters. 1t is estimated that the
government will pay out about $500.UO0 un-
der the provisions of the law.
