DEWEY'S CLAIM GOOD
SUIT FOR PRIZE MONEY FOR HIM
SELF AND MEN.
Vessels Sunk in the Battle Of Manila
Bay and Afterward
Raised.

The United States Supreme Court has de-
cided 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 and afterward
reclaimed. in their favor but the cases Of
Admiral Sampson. for whose name that Of
Admiral Taylor was substituted, in his own
behalf and that of his officers and men, on
account of the Maria Teresa. sunk at the
battle of Santiago. were decided adversely
to the claimants. The Teresa was sunk
after being rescued. whereas the vessels
reclaimed at Manila are stu in use.
Dewey's Claim Considered.
The court first passed on the Dewey case.
Taking up the question as to whether the
Spanish vessels Don Juan de Austria the
Isla de Cuba and the Isla de Luzon were
properly adjudicated as prizes for the bene-
fit of captors. in view Of their condition
Immediately after the engagement at Ma
Mia 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.
LAS to the property taken from the ves-
sells raised and reconstructed and that
opinion. I'VE think it's legal status must
be regarded as the same as that of the
vessel to which it belonged. The
statute did not contemplate a division Of
the grant and an award of prize money
and bounty in respect to the same transac-
ton
Concluding on this point, the opinion says
that even if the contention be correct that
bounty alone would be an Inadequate re-
ward that would not justify the court in
attributing to the statute scope not per-
mitted by it's terms.
The Naval Stores.
Concerning tire naval stores captured 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 government must be regarded as
absolved from liability for whatever was
restored under the treaty Of peace.
I'VE are of the opinion says the court,
that the district court committed no error
in its decree in respect of the Don Juan de
Austria, Isla de Luzon and Isla de Cuba,
and the property taken from them, as well
as the vessels captured and their APP
purtenances, or in respect of the lighters
and wrecking boats, but that a share in a
portion of the naval stores and material
captured in Cavite arsenal and the boats
pertaining thereto should have been award
ed, and that the decree should not have in
cluded property taken from vessels sunk
and Destroyed
The decree of the district court Diminishing
the intervening libel Of the captain of the
Nanshan is affirmed.
The Maria Teresa Case.
Taking up the Sampson case and passing
on the claim regarding the Maria Teresa
the court reversed the decree of condemna-
ton 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 filed
by the naval officers be dismissed.

woods and silk are appropriate. The
flowing sleeves are graceful and new,
but those in bishop style can be sub
stituted when preferred. The model
is made over the lining, which Is cut
away at yoke depth to give a trans
parent effect, but thicker materials can
be used over the entire foundation.
The tucks are hand sewn, but machine
or fancy stitching with corticelli silk
is effective on heavier fabrics.
The waist consists of the fitted lin
ing, fronts and back. Both fronts and
back are tucked to yoke depth, then
left free to form soft folds and are
gathered at the waist line. The clos
ing can be made at the left shoulder
and under-arm seam, as in the case Of
the model, or invisibly at the centre

used in full lengths they are gathered

Shirt waists that combine horizontal
with vertical tucks are among the nov
elites of the season and are shown In
variety of styles. The very stylish
MAY Manton one shown in the large
picture is adapted both to washable
fabrics and to the many waist cloths
and silks. The original, however, Is
made Of white madras and is held by
four large pearl buttons at the centre
Of the box pleat.
The waist consists of the tucked
fronts and plain back, with the fitted
foundation, that can be used or omitted
as the material requires. The fronts
are laid in narrow vertical tucks that
extend to shallow yoke depth and in
wider horizontal ones below, and are
gathered at the waist line, where they
droop slightly. The back is smooth
across the shoulders and the fulness Is
drawn down snugly in gathers at the
belt. The sleeves suggest the Hun
garian style and are made with snugly
fitting upper portions, tucked on con-
tlnuous lines with the waist, and full
puets that are laid In narrow vertical
tucks at their upper edges. The cuffs
are oddly shaped and match the stock

WHAT MANURING WILL DO.

do for land. Some manure was placed
on land which had not been so treated
previously for fifteen years and which
had been steadily cropped with berries.
In 1901 corn that had been planted on
it grew three feet high but did not ear.

manure from livery stable and plant

rows. From the eighteen rows Of corn

GRAY Roses in Hats.

Gray roses are among the poetic
things pressed into the service of the
milliner this season, and very pretty
they look, too, mingled with pale pink
and green buds. This novelty was seen
on a big picture capeline of rose-col-
ored straw-the pale rose of the sea-
shell--the wide brim of which was
draped with lace. AT one side this brim
was raised by big posy of forget-me-
nots and pink roses, and in the heart
of the knot of roses was placed half
dozen gray buds. The effect was strik-
ing-in a gentle way-and very pretty.

THE ORCHARD.

To have clean, smooth-barked trees
whiteWash them.
A good place to put the ashes from
the wood stove is around the apple
trees.
Small grains, timothy or blue grass
should never be grown in the orchard.
If trees from the nursery get frozen
in transit thaw them out slowly in a
cold place.
II you did not cut out the borers
from peach, ounce or apple in the
summer or fall, do it now.
Believe me, light coat of horse ma.
nure now on the orchard will put the
trees in better heart; then in April or
May 600 pounds of some good potato
manure will be just the thing.
Have you drawn away the brush
trimmed from the apple trees last win
ter2 If not, do it now before other
work presses. Whether you plow or
now the orchard, brush is a decided
nuisance if left under the trees.
A peach tree in rich ground should
have its branches shortened in June; in
poor ground, where there is less Wig
orous growth, pruning should be done
now. Take Off half of last years
growth. This is the rule for peaches,
and same will apply to plums.-Farm
