I For Horses Taken From Them Unlawfully After the Surrender. / The following interesting: circular has been received at the office of the adjutant general: "In 1902 congress made provision whereby payment might be secured to artillery and cavalry officers aBd private soldiers of the Confederate army for horses, side-arms and baggage taken from them by federal troops, at and after the surrender, under orders, and in violation of the terms of surrender of the Confederate armies. "In April, 1904, congress appropriated an additional $125,000 to pay 1 i i?^ : j C1&1XQ8 01 IQIS cnaracter, out requireu that all claims should be presented within two years, viz, by April, 1906, or be barred. "Claims must be proved to the satisfaction of the war department, under ruies and regulations approved by the secretary, prescribing the character of proof required of the facts that have to be established. Naturally, in many instances, the witnesses are scattered and time is required to get in touch with them and secure their evidence. Also considerable detailed information is required to establish these claims, and getting jthem properly presented and acted upon by the department requires time. "In case the officer or soldier from whom the property was taken has died, his wife, if living, has a claim. If she be dead, bis children. If there >- - ?:ii ? _wiu i:_: ?u ?78 neitutr wue uur uuuu jiviug, iucu bis parents, or either of them, if one be dead. ''All claims should be presented without delay, because both the time for their presentation and the total amount appropriated for their payment, is limited. Should the total claims exceed $125,000, then claims, though good, and presented before the two years but not allowed before the appropriation became exhausted, could not be either allowed or paid without, further action by congress. "The allowance for each horse taken, to either officers or men, has been fixed at $125 00. For baggage taken, $10.00. Privates have been allowed for one horse and baggage. Officers, where that number has been taken, for two horses and baggage; also $15.00 for side-arms." Dslnar Locals.
