DtwayGotfOny About $lO,-
000, And Schley Less
Nvu Ymk, Sept. 0 —At least
$1,000,000 prize money will be
distributed among American
B’diors as a result of the war
with Spain.
More than one half of this sum
will be paid in accordance with
that section of law providing foi
the payment of a bounty for
persons on board vessels of war
sunk in action.
It is estimated that the aggre
gate amount due the Asiatic fleet
as a result of the destruction of
the Spanish forces amounts to
$181,500, which Congress will
be asked to appropriate during
the coming session. One twen
tieth of this sum belongs to
Rear Admiral Dewey as com
mender-in-chief, and he will,
therefore, be $9,375 richer than
1 e v as before the war.

Ri ar Admiral Sampson ba*
real zed a snug little fortune a*
a result of the war As coin
mander-in-chief of the North At
lentic fleet, he wi'l get one
twentieth of every prize tak *n ii
North Atlantic wa’ers and one
twentieth of the head money al
lowed for the .vessels destroyed
off Santiago and in Cuban purls.
It is estimated that he will final
ly receive about $40,000 as his
share of the prize money.
