that it has been afterwards proved
that they often only went through
the lines for the purpose of assist

that the best peace method now is
a rigorous warfare until the insurrec-

de Replies to Criticisms on Naval
Prize Bounty Awards.
Says They We're Made by the Court of
Claims Under an Old Law That the
Navy Department Has Since
Had Repealed.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Secretary
Long has addressed to Senator Knute
Nelson. of Minnesota, long letter
defending the navy department
against what is declared to be un-
friendly criticism in connection with
he distribution of prize money and
bounty.
Touching the claim of Rear Admiral
Sampson for bounty at Santiago, the
secretary says that the distribution
was made under a decree of the court
of claims which he cites and from
which no appeal was taken. He fur.
their points out that, under the prize
laws, the commander-in-chief of the
feet is entitled to his "one-twentieth
of bounty by virtue of his position
as commander-in-chief, whether he is
personally present during the en-
gagement or not" Says the secretary:
LAS cOmmander-in-chief Rear Adj
miral Sampson would therefore under
the law have been entitled to his share
of the bounty for the destruction of
the Spanish ships at Santiago if he
had been on the north shore of Cuba
at the time. This was the law, for
which the navy department is no wise
responsible" On this point, the sec
rotary says that the department itself
was the first to realize the Unequal
tiles of this law and to make the
recommendation which led to its APP
peal, SO that ga rather amusing
feature of the attacks made upon

ROOSEVELT TO Beers
He Informs ENJOYS This
Government Cannot and
Will Not interfere.

Washington, March 7.-Messrs. VOL
marans and Vessels, the Boer repre-
sentatives, who came to the United
States from Europe for the purpose
OF comforting with the secretary OF
state, have achieved their purpose.
They were received by Mr.. Hay this
morning. 1t was distinctly understood
that the Beers were to be received as
private citizens, not In an official capa-
city. The principal object OF the delo-
gates was to induce the United States
government to do something to ter
inmate the present bloody struggle in
South Africa. They were not very
specific as to what they wanted, and
apparently would be satisfied with al
most anything.
The secretary heard them attentive
ly and promised to consider their rep
reservations and do whatever he could
to- ameliorate conditions in South At
RIGA, but he pointed out that the pres
ident was the prime authority in such
matters and recommended hat they
see Roosevelt and ascertain his views.
Later In the day the delegates called
at the White house. They were re-
ceived by the president In the library
and remained about fifteen minutes.
They called as private citizens, not In
their official capacity as Boer repre-
sentatives. President Roosevelt lis
tened attentively to what they had to
say and then informed them that this
government canno and will not inter-
fere in their struggle.
