MANILA BAY PRIZE MONEY.
The Litigation Over Distribution Near'
the End

Justice Gould of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, sitting as a United
States prize court, today signed a final
decree in the Manila prize case of Admiral
Dewey and others, which action comes near
to the end of the long litigation arising out
of the captures made by the navy the 1st Of
May. 1898. The captured property condemn
ed as prize consisted of the three Spanish
cruisers Isla de Cuba, Isla de Luzon and
Don Juan de Austria, which were sunk and
afterward raised; large number of smaller
vessels captured after the battle, and mis-
cellaneous stores captured at the Cayite
naval station The total value of the prop
erty so condemned was $S2S ,677.6 50. After
deducting the costs of the litigation, one
half of this amount will go to the captors
and one-half to the navy pension fund.
The decree was presented by ex-Secretary
of the Navy H. A. Herbert of the firm of
Herbert & Micou, as counsel for Admiral
Dewey, who, with Attorneys George A. and
William B. King, represented the captors
throughout the litigation. Special Attorney
Charles E!E Binney, who represented the
United States, consented to the decree. Only
I; one more step remains, the ascertainrnent
of the costs and charges taxable against the
fund. This will be done by Auditor Payne
o. the District Supreme Court, to whom the
case has been referred.
AS soon as these are settled the decree
will be sent to the Treasury Department
ana payment of the prize money will be
begun. -

TEST OF CISTERN'S CAPACITY
Belief That Reservoir Would Be Use
full if Fed With Six-Inch Pipes.

Engine companies No. and IA gave an
exhibition in water throwing yesterday
morning in front of the Bank of Washing
ton, corner of Louisiana avenue and 7th
street Chief Belt and lis several assistants
were on hand to witness the proceeding,
which was a test made for the purpose of
determining the usefulness of the cistern at
that point. It is stated that the cistern was
constructed during the days of the volun-
teer firemen, and is one of several such
places where the hand engines got their
water supply in cases of fire. There is an
other one in front of the Traders Bank at
Pennsylvania avenue and 10th street that is
iE condition to be used. Chief Belt reached
the conclusion that it would be well to have
few more such cisterns In the business
section IL they could be fed by six-inch
pipes. The cistern where the test was made
is fed by four-inch pipe. and the supply is
rot great enough to furnish water for two
engines.
The engines employed yesterday are two
Of the most powerful ones in the depart
ment and for short tine they had water
enough to throw eight streams. four streams
each, a distance of 204 feet and inches.
One engine was cut out when the water
supply diminished. Each line of hose was
300 feet long. John T.. Fitzgerald Of the
water department was on hand to note the
change in the water pressure at two hy-
drants near the cistern. He found de-
crease of thirty pounds at one hydrant.
while at the other there was only decrease
of one pound the latter hydrant being a
greater distance from the big main than
the one showing so large decrease.
Chief Belt was pleased with the test, and
in report submitted to the District Com
missioners today he recommended that a
six-inch pipe be substituted for the four
inch one that is now there.
With eight streams, such as were thrown
yesterday, the chief realizes that he will
be able to form a water curtain which
would prove effective in case of a big fire.
Not only would it be of use on a burning
building, but it would be of great benefit In
protecting buildings that are in danger.

The Japanese at Fort Arthur.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your number of the oath instant there
is a very interesting article by military
expert on the siege of Port Arthur Ii
the statements made are true. and IL there
are no facts to modify them, why did not
the Japs carry out their original plan OF
capture by combined assault by sea and
land? They knew all the facts of the sit
uation and are of undoubted bravery; yet
they attempted no landing and sent their
troop-carrying transports to different ports
