Under this court, as at first constituted, by the act of Congress, damages were only pald for the devastations done by three vessels, the Ala Dama, the Florida and the Shenandoah'and thelr tenders The gross sum pald by this court to the claimants was In the nelghborhood of $6,000,000, Jeaving a surplus of about $9,000,000 on hand, which hi creased in Various Ways NOW amounts to 300,001 By an act dated June 5, 1862, Congress Tevived the court, and allowed clalius t be prosecuted. by persons whose property was 1n- Jured by U1 1 any confederate cruiser upon the high seas. clalins were divided into two, classes, viz.: First class for claims directis resulting froin damages done on the high seas, Including ves: sels and cargoes attacked ow the high seas by the confederate cruisers, although the loss or damaje occurred within four miles of the shore: second class, for clatms for the payment of premiums for war risks, whether paid to. corporations, agents, or individuals, after the sailing of any contedi cruiser. ‘The court, as reconstituted Dy th of Congress, first met and organized July 14, 182, and the calendar was called in February, 1883." ‘The {otal number of cases, both first and Sevond class, Defore the court, are 5.770.

There 1s money’ enough, tt 1s stated, to pay all first-class claims in full—even if all are allowed as presented—and the surplus will pay a large per centage of the second-class. As to the time when the Claimants will receive their money, a question Which has frequently been ask ‘A proininet officer of the courtsays:_ “We can’t tel anything about It. If Congress extends the court without inaking any different provision than now exists, payment will be postponed, in all probabili- ty, forover a year. Still, us tere issuficient money to'pay all first-class claims it 18 possible that action may be taken by Congress empowering the court to pay first-class claims within sixty days after ju inentis rendered.
