Confederates to be Paid.
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."
