IN THE MATTER OF THE ADULA.
There Is 5000 Prize Money to BE
Divided Among Her CaptOrs.

The advance sheets of the decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
affirming the ruling of Judge Speer in the
matter of the steamer Adula, have reached
the officers of the court here. A resume
of the decision was given in the Morning
News at the time it was rendered, ten
days ago.
The Adula was a British steamship
which had been chartered TO a Spanish
citizen, and that tried 10 enter the port
of Guantanamo, then blockaded by the
squadron under the command of Admiral
Sampson. She was seized by a boats crew
from the L. S! S. Marblehead, Commander
McCalla, commanding.
Judge Speer appointed Mr.. Julian Schley
and the late Edgar Denmark, esq. as
prizemasters, and they acted with Rear
Admiral Denham, representing the navy
department The evidence was taken by
them and Judge Speer heard the Case at
his summer home at Mount Airy. At the
hearing the government was represented
by District Attorney Marion Erwin and
The British owners of the ship, the A: 'as
Steamship Company, of Kingston, ia
maica by Col. p. w. Meldrm and E. p.
Wheeler, Esq, of the New York bar.
Judge Speer condemned the Adula as
lawful prize of war, and, of the vessels OF
the navy effecting the capture. An appeal
was taken from this decision to the Su-
preme Court of the United States and
after long consideration the decision has
been affirmed four of the justices, name
" Justices Shiras, Gray, Peckham and
White. dissenting. The opinion was de-
livered by Justice Brown and was con-
CURED in by Chief Justice Fuller and JUS
tees Harlan. Brewer and McKenna who
agreed that the district judge was right
in the decision TO which he had come.
In the meantime the Adua had been
released on bond of $4,000 and since that
time has been wrecked. The bond, how
ever is good for the amount and when
the mandate of the Supreme Court is
made the judgment of the District Court
in Savannah, the sum of $4,000, less the
expenses Of condemnation, may have to
be distributed among the gallant officers
and seamen who effected the capture The
continency seems to be the possible de-
cision of the court in the matter of the
suit of the White Star Towing Company
against the Adula.
This case is set for trial in the United
states Court here to-day. The owner OF
the Adula is seeking TO charge the govern
ment with the salvage the towing COM
pany claims to be due and this, If the
owners contention is upheld, may take
something from the prize money the Of
hcers and seamen would be entitled to
otherwise
The opinion of Justice Brown and the
dissenting opinion of Justice Shiras are
very interesting, discussing as they do the
rights OF a neutral ship, under the control
of an enemy and attempting 10 enter
blockaded port. The case is likely TO be-
come a leading one in prize law. and was
the only cases involving questions of prize
law tried In this district during the war
with Spain.

Park and Tree Commission. saws;
The appropriation already made to the
Commission is barely sufficient to con-

confined to the principal squares nor
should less be done on them than last

wage, but AYERS that as the Adula was at
the time in the possession of the officers
of the government, the failure to insure
her should be attributed to them, and they
or the government should be required to
make good whatever loss has resulted
from this omission.
Other civil cases have been set for trial
during the remaining days of the month.
1t is certain, therefore, that the session
will last until April and the probabilities
ere that il Will extend well into that month
Should the arrival of the Gaynors and
Greene from New York occur before the
session has been brought to a close, it is
probable that three weeks or month will
be added to its length.
