PRIZEMONEY FORDEWEY
Supreme Court Decides In Favor Of
the Admiral and His Men.
BAMPsoN's CASE DISMISSED

Opinion Says II Efforts at Salvage
Had Failed or Cost Exceeded the
Value, Dewey's Men Still Would be
Entitled to Bounty.
Washington, Feb. 24.-The United
States supreme court yesterday decid-
ed the prize money cases brought By
Admiral Dewey in behalf Of himself
and the officers and men Of his fleet on
account OF the vessels sunk at Manila
favor, but the cases of Admiral Samp-
son, for whose name that OF Admiral
Taylor was substituted in his own be-
half and that of his officers and men
on account of the Maria Theresa. sunk
at the battle Of Santiago, were decided
adversely to the claimants. The Their
esa was sunk after being rescued.
whereas the vessels reclaimed at Ma
Mia are still in use.
The court first passed on the Dewey
case. Taking up the question as to
whether the Spanish vessels, Don Juan
de Austria, the Isle de Cuba and lsla
de Luzon, were properly adjudicated
as prizes for the benefit of captors. in
view of their condition Immediately
after the engagement at Manila, and
their being subsequently raised and
put in commission, the opinion says
that If the effort at salvage had failed,
or If the cost had equaled or exceeded
the value, the captors still would be
entitled to bounty
"As to the property taken from the
vessels raised and reconstructed, and
that taken from the vessels destroyed"
says the opinion, I'VE think that its
legal status must be regarded as the
same as that of the vessel to which
II belonged. The statute did
not contemplate a division Of the
grant, and an award OF prize money
and bounty in respect to the same
transaction"
Concluding on this point. the opin-
ion says that even II the contention
be correct that bounty alone would be
an inadequate reward, that would not
justify the court in attributing to the
statute scope not permitted by its
terms.
Concerning the naval stores cap.
tured by Admiral Dewey at Cavite, the
opinion says the property in question
was taken subject to the exercise of
the power of restitution, and the gov
ernment must be regarded as absolved
from liability for whatever was re-
stored under the treaty Of peace.
I Taking up the Sampson case and
passing on the case of the Maria Tere-
sa, the court reverses the decree OF
condemnation of the District Court to
the effect that that vessel and all the
property taken from her and from the
other vessels were lawful prize of war,
and directs that the libel flied by tie
naval officers be dismissed.

RIOT CARTRIDGES READY
War Department Will Furnish Them
to State Governors on Demand.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The war de-
partment has sent notice to the COVER.
nors Of each state OF the union that II
is prepared to supply them upon de.
mand and according to their legal al
lowances with riot cartrid ges." This
is new form Of ammunition prepared
by the experts Of the ordnance bureau,
to enable officers of the law and sol.
diers to repel rioters with the least
possible loss of life to the innocent
spectator
The shell is like that Of the regular
shell used in the army rifle with the
important exception that instead of
the long nickel-plated and steel-clad
bullet, two balls are placed in the
mouth. The design was apparently to
secure something Of greater range
than buckshot, yet not dangerous to
persons at a distance. The cartridge
is charged with about thirty-four
grains of smokeless powder. The balls
are made of mixture of lead and tin
in the proportion Of 16 tc 1, and are
slightly coated with parafine.
