ter this season than it has been in
years, which means that it is one of
the best seasons in the history of the
travel South.
Every hotel at the principal resorts
is full, Mr.. Leahy states. He says
further that the St Petersburg hotels
are so crowded that would-be guests
are being turned away and have to
seek other resorts to secure quarters.
The travel this year has not been
marked with the rush that is usual
" the case but has been gradual and
steady so that it has been less notice.

The tourist season has been unusual

DEWEY AND HIS MEN
GET PRIZE MONEY
Entitled to 1t for Spanish Vessels
That Were Raised.

Entitled to 1t for Spanish Vessels
That Were Raised.
Washington. Feb. 23.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day decided
the prize money cases brought by Ad-
miral Dewey in behalf of himself and
the officers and men of his fleet on &C
count of the vessels sunk at Manila
and afterward reclaimed, in their
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 Theresa was sunk after being
rescued whereas the vessels reclaimed
at Manila 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 Isla de Cuba and the
Isla de LuZon were properly adjudi-
Gated as prizes for the benefit of cap
tors, in view of their condition imme-
diately after the engagement at Ma
Mia and their being subsequently
raised and put in commission, the opin-
ion 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
Taking up the Sampson case and
passing on the case of the Maria The
resa, the court reverses the decree OF
condemnation of the District Court tc
the effect that that vessel and all the
property taken from her and from the
other vessels were lawful prize of wal
and directs that the libel filed by the
naval officers be dismissed
