WASHINGTON. Feb. 24-Military
justice in the Philippines has evidently
been very active daring the past few
months, as the latest mail from Manila
has brought over 200 court martial cases
for the final consideration of TIE judge
advocate general of the army. The ma
jority are on account of ordinary in
fractions of the articles of war and the
military regulations and with few eX-
ceptions do not call for any very severe
punishment. There are, however, sew
cia serious cases in the lot just received.
including one capital case, that of sol
dier named George Murphy of Company

court mar1ialcd for having killed Private
Saul Copes Of the same company at FL
Dcposito in September last. According
to the record in the case the two men had
Il quarrel over some pen spndl mattcr. and
subsequently while COPIES was seated in
his tent Murphy entered and fired several
shots into his body.

CARE OF BEES

An Ingeniu, Arrangement for Compelling
Bees to I.u,ld the Combs Straight.
Most bee Keepers can produce Sec
ton honey use separators between the
sections. 50 as to oblige the bees to
build the combs straight. If the honey
is produced for home use this is not
necessary, but when it is packed In
cases for shipment separators are al
most a necessity. If the separatorS
are to be nailed on piece of tin Is
used as separator. If the separator
is to be used loose between the rows
of sections wood is used, separator
for the ordinary Az by Az sections be-
ing about II inches long, 81 inches
wide, and 1-1G inch thick.
One objection to the use of n Separa-
tor is that it divides the room in the
super into little apartments, and the
bees like better to be as nearly as pos
sihe in continuous cluster Another
objection is that when Il separator is
used the surface of the comb SINKS
bacl; farther in the section box, giving
lean and hungry" look as compared
with the plump appearance of Il Sec
ton of honey produced without sepa-
ratorS.
With the view of getting rid of both
of these objections as much rs possi-

DEWEY'S CLAIM CUT.
Court of Claims Decision In
the Manila Case.
ENEMY RECKONLD At 500 PER HEAD
The Admiral Contended That the
Spanish Force Was Superior to
His Own-Court Decided other
wise-An AppenI Likely.


WASHINGTON Feb. 27.-Thc Unit
ed States court of claims has rendered
an opinion on the claim of Admiral Dew
ey, his officers and men for naval bounty
under section 4,G3J of the revised stat
utes for the destruction of the Spanish
fleet in Manila bay May ], 1898, the
court holding that the claimants have Il
right to recover for each person on board
the enemy's ships the sum of 500. This
decision is on the basis that the admiral's
fleet was superior to the Spanish fleet,
excluding the shore batteries, the torpe-
does and the mines in Manila bay.
Admiral Dewey's claim was for 5000
for each man belonging to the enemy's
fleet. including the supporting shore bat
teries, mines and torpcdocs.
The principal question involved in de-
tcrmining the cncmy's force was whether
the supporting shore batteries, mines ana
torpcdocs should be included.
The statute provides that Il bounty
shall be paid by the United States for
each person on board any ship or vessel
of war belonging to an enemy at the COM
mencement Of an engagement which is
sunk or otherwise destroyed in such en-
gagement by any ship or vessel belonging
