PRIZE MONEY QUESTION.
Secretary Long Writes a Letter De-
Tending the Navy De-
partment.
THE LATTER HAS BEEN CRITICISED,
The Court of Claims, Not the Navy
Department, Made the Awards of
Prize Money, Under the Law ms
II Existed, hut Which Has Since
Been Repealed.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Secretary
Long has addressed to Senator Knute
Nelson, of Minnesota, a long letter
defending the navy department
against what is declared to be I'M
friendly criticism in connection with
the distribution of plNae money and
bounty: The letter is called forth by
one from the senator, asking for in
| formation on this point, for the use
of a western newspaper, The secre-
tary declares that the criticism that
the department has Disseminated for
Admiral Sampson and against Adj
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
ative 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 it 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. He fur |
Their points ont that, under the prize
laws, the commandcr-in-ch of the
fleet is enttledto his "one-twentieth"
of bounty by virtue of his position as
eommander-in-chief, whether he is
present during the en-
gagement or not, Says the secre-
tary:
AS commander-in-chief, Admiral
sampson would, therefore, under the
aw, have been entitled to his share
If the bounty for the destruction Of
he Spanish ships at Santiago if he
lad been on the north shore of Cuba
At the time. This was the law, for
which the navy department is nowise
On this point the secretary says
hat the department itself was the
irst to realize the inequalities of this
aW and to make recommendation
which led to its repeal, so that "a
'ather amusing feature of the at
acks made upon the navy depart
nent,' as the secretary puts it, is
hat the administration is blamed
more than two years after it had
cured the evil. The secretary con-
'ludes his letter with an extract from
he report of the auditor of the treas
Try for the navy department showing
he status of the prize money and
bounty cases, yet unsettled, owing to
lelays in the courts, and predicting a
