PRIZE MONEY QUESTION.
Secretary Long Writes Letter Do
tending the Navy De-
partment.
the LATTER HAS BEEN CRITICISED.
The Court Of Claims, Not the Navy
Department.. Made the Aw"r"s "
Prize Money, Under the La" ~
IL Existed, Hut which Has since
been Repealed.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 I'M
friendly criticism in Connection with
the distribution of prsze money ana
bounty: The letter is called forth by
one from the senator, asking Tor IN
formation on this point, for the use
Of a western newspaper. The secre-
tary declares that the criticism that
the department has Disseminated Tor
Admiral Sampson and against al
miral Schley in the distribution OF
prize money and bounty, is unjust,
because the department has no con-
troll over this matter, the money be-
ing distributed from the treasury,
and all questions of law and fact rel
alive to prize and bounty having been
determined by the courts. The Sec
rotary calls attention to the laws
touching prize and bounty as they ex-
listed at the beginning of the Spanish
war, and says that,though advised by
the attorney general that 1T might
make distribution, the navy depart
ment preferred to place the matter in
the court of claims, and so far from
displaying favoritism, adopted the
effective means in its power to secure
a just determination by courts of law
of the rights of all concerned
Touching the claim of Admiral
Sampson for bounty at Santiago, the
secretary says that the distribution
was made under decree of the court
of claims, which he cites, and from
which no appeal was taken lie fur
Their points out that, under the prize
laws. the ommander-in-chief of the
fleet is entitled to his 'one-twentieth"
of bounty by virtue of his position as
commander-in-ch whether he is
personally present during the en-
gagement or not Says the secre.
tary:
"As committeeman Admiral
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 nowise
responsible"
On this point the secretary says
that the department itself was the
first to realize the inequalities Of this
law and to make recommendation
which led to its repeal, so that "a
rather amusing feature of the at
tacks made upon the navy depart
ment," as the secretary puts it, is
that the administration is blamed
more than two years after it had
cured the evil. The secretary con.
cludes his letter with an extract from
the report of the auditor of the treas.
ury for the navy department showing
the status of the prize money and
bounty cases, yet unsettled, owing to
delays in the courts, and predicting q
settlement within year.
