More Spanish War Bounty Claims.

The secretary of the navy has sub
mitted TO the court of claims another
batch of claims for bounty money by
United States sailors on account of
Spanish warships destroyed. There
are about two score cases of ships so

the department that in the opinion of
the legal authorities this reference is
necessary to meet the statutes relative
to the payment of bounty money.
Therefore this action does not by any
means signify any hostility on the part
of the navy department toward the
claims
