Treaeury Department,
OHioe Of
Auditor for the War Departments,
Washington, D. O., OCT; 8, 1901.
A speoisl dispatch was published in
several of the leading daily papers on
or about Spot. 20, 1901, in regard to an
alleged discovery OF somo old laws BY
o Brooklyn lawyer, granting $84 State
and 1892 federal bounties to soldiers
for sorvioes in tho recent Spanish
American war, and stating that it
would coat the State about So, ,0OO, 600
and the federal government about $5..
0OO, 600. 1t was also alleged that SOME
thoussndb OF oases Wero now before
Attorney General Knox at Washing
ton for his deoisiou, and that tho mai .
ter is expected to be settled within the
next ton days. 81
This dispatch is very vsgue, and 60
far aa tho United States is oonoorned
is incorrect and miBloading. No such
oaaen are before tho attorney general of
tho United States for his action OF do
oision.
Furthermore, no law has ever been
passed by congress, granting any boun-
ties Whatever to any soldiers for service
~ the late Spanish American war Of
1888 and 1899. Certain laws were
passed. giving extra pay to euch SOL
dlers In certain oaaos, in lieu Of fur.
lough or leave Of absenoa. But in
nearly all suoh casos the soldiers who
were entitled to such extra pay have
already boen paid it. .S.8 Is
In regard to bounty duo to soldiers
from tho United States for service in
the Cilvil war Of 1861. 1865, no recont
bounty laws have been passed. The
last general bounty law epac.ed by the
Unitod States was on April %. 1872.
aud nearly ell soldiers ontitlod to boun-
ty under that aot, and also under preyi-
ous acts passed. giving bounty to SOL
dior5 for seiviue in the OWL war, have
already been paid oil the bounty due
them. E
1t is only 'sssoessary to say in oonolu-
sion, that there is no foundation what
eye: tcr sny such statements aa set
forth in said dispatch, so far as tho
Y United States is oonoerncd, and it ia
hoped that those who are Interested in
thia matter will not be induced to make
useless Inquiries or to file worthless
olalmu on account Of such misroprosen-
tat1ons. L. ID. Rittmen,
