Washington, Feb. 76-The United

for the destruction Of the Spanish feet
10 Manila bay. May !, 1885. the court
holding thas the claimant has right to
recover for each person on board The
enemy's ships the sum OF 500.
This decision 10 upon the basis that the
admiral's aaet was superior to the Span
ish aeet. excluding the shore batteries
the tospedoes and the mines in Manila
bay.
Admiral Dewey's claim was for $7oo
for each man belonging to the enemy's
feet. including the supporting shore
batteries, mines and torpedoes.
The principal question involved in the
case is whether, in determining the
enemy's force. the supporting shore bat
teries. mines and torpedoes should be
included.
Taking into consideration the guns al
Corregidor. Ell Fraile and other forts a
the entrance Of the bay and those q,
Manila and Cavite, and the torpedoes
md mines in the bay ard entrance to it.
It was commended by counsel for Admiral
Dewey that the enemy force was super.
Tor to the vessels of the United States.
The government insisted that the
statute failed to provide for the contin'
gency Of the cooperation Of land batter.
les with the naval forces destroyed, and
that the court is powerless to supply the
omission.
Ths Court, in deciding the case, held
that the Law applied only to the force Of
the vessels engaged in the action, and
that in this instance, taking the number
and character 0f the vessels into account
the strength of their batteries on board
and all other matters which properly &C

1t is understood that counsel tor Ad'
m.ral Dewey will take an appeal to the

Under today's decision Admiral Dewey
is personally entitled to $3.50.

HOLIDAY SOUVENIRS.
Some Inexpensive Trifies That Are
Welcome Christmas Gifts.

There are a thousand and one triffes
that can be- made at small expense for
Christmas gifts. Deft fingers and few
clever ideas are the principal require
ments. In these days of machine made
trinkets. so many of which are so worth
less, a hand made gift IS always accept
able
The endless little triffes for a bedroom,
laundry bags, shoe bags. bureau covers,
toilette sets. little bags for small pieces
Of sOied linen. such as handkerchiefs and
collars, that are always lost with the
larger pieces All kinds of buster bags and
work bags. They are help to keep d room
tidy and viii surely be appreciated by
anyone who does not happen TO possess
them. These can be made of any kind
of linen or silk, but the linen always seem
so much more satisfactory, as they can
be washed and kept fresh, while the silk
are apt to soil more readily and are not so
easy to clean.
The Mikado baskets and japanese
doll. each Of which may be bought for a
few cents. make a useful and decorative
hair receiver. Another decorative article
to hang on the side of the mirror IS a
big crimson pincusnion made in the shape
OF q huge strawberry. The husk IS mad
Of green ribbon. Little cases made with
commandments and labeled with the days
of the week are always nice to give to
people who have any engagements TO
keen track Of.
\ Japanese OF lNufdn grass basket
riSged with cottons of various numbers,
scissors and thfmbIe, can easily be con-
verted into q useful Christmas gift.
There are endless little. contrivances for
keeping bits of jewelry in, all of which
are better than a jewel case. Long
strips of firm silk lined with elder down
with little pads for pins and pockets for
other articles, make a compact and very
handy way of keeping IrinkeJs.
One clever woman has very good idea
for Christmas gifts this year She has
not much money to spend and has TO
cover quite a little ground in the role of
Santa Claus. She is making lamp shades,
waste paper baskets and picture frames
out of large decorative viii paper designs.
First she makes the frames in pastebOard
and covers them with the paper. In many
cases she has gone to the people TO whom
she intends the gifts and begged a few
wards of their wall paper in order to
have the gift match the room In some
cases she has covered the shapes with
blIrIaDs and then cut out the wall paper
and APPLIED the design. These are very
rrattv and can be made by anyone. They
have the effect of water color paintings
