THE VALUE OF THE PRIZE.
Answer of the Secretary of the Navy
to the Sampson suit.

The Secretary of the Navy yesterday, in
Court Of the District. in the case of Rear
Admiral Sampson against the Govern
ment, for prize money as a result of the
naval battle off Santiago, July g. 1898,
filed his answer in relation to the APP
praised valuation of the captured Spanish
miscellaneous stores and supplies taken
from the Spanish wrecks. Incorporated in
the answer of Mr.. Long is a copy OF the
official report Of Rear Admiral Rodgers.
President of the Board of Inspection and
Survey, which states:
For the appraisal Of the value of the
Infanta Maria Teresa at the time she was
raised this board was furnished by the
Bureau of Navigation with the names OF
all parties who were in any way connected
with the floating of the vessel. As re-
suit of the information thus obtained after
a thorough investigation. 1t is decided that
the value of the Infanta Maria Teresa at
that time was 1862, i97, and 'Se value of
property recovered from Spanish vessels
which were sunk was s29 .367."
In connection with Mr.. Longs answer
is statement by the Acting Chief of the
Bureau of Navigation. George W. Simp
son, who states that the cost OF recover
ing property from the Spanish vessels
near Santiago was S23i.15S. exclusive of
So. 600 paid for the delivery of the Reina
Mercedes at the Norfolk navy yard
1t is also stated that the cost of wreck
ing was confined almost exclusively TO
the Maria Teresa. so 1t is a fair estimate.
it is stated to place the expenditures on
that vessel at $1SS,673.90.

In Behalf of the Brooklyn Navy Yard

The members of Congress from New
York including those from the Brooklyn
district, called on Secretary Long yester-
day to urge that one of the battleships last
authorized by Congress be constructed at
the Brooklyn navy yard by the Govern
ment, instead of by a private firm. One Of
the arguments advanced in behalf of the
delegations proposition was that with such
a large undertaking as a nucleus, work at
the Brooklyn yard would be continuous
and there would be no necessity OF fur
Laughing large numbers of wOrkmcn. Sec
rotary Long was not favorably disposed to-
ward the proposal. but will not render a
final decision until he has examined tn.
