KEY WEST, July IL, 1889.
DEAR SrR-The steamer Santee, from Cape Flori-
board, stopped at this place last evening, and left
again In the course of an hour. We learn from Col
Harvey that body Of Indians, with Sam Jones at
its head, visited him at New River few days ago,
and had talk. This Chief, who is supposed to COM
mand about five hundred warriors expressed himself
perfectly satisfied with the terms of the armistice
concluded by our Commander in Chief with the Sub
Chiefs Of the Indians; and after explaining it in
a speech Of about hours length to the warriors
around him, they also unanimously sgnifed their
acquiesence. They are to 60 immediately to the
lands assigned them by General Macomb, and Sam
Jones agrees that all Indians found outside Of their
boundaries, shall be shot. Col III. SAYS that they
understand distinctly that this is not a final treaty.
but mere cessation Of hostiltes until the final de-
termination of the Executive shall be known. He
describes Sam Jones a man about sixty We years
ofage six feet high, rather SLIM but sti active and
athletic of noble bearing, and exceedingly fluent.
The Indians appeared to be well pro vded with pro-
visions, and offered Col. Harvey supply Of hogs
ana green corn They say that their cattle
trey destroyed, and they have but few horses. Sam
Jones declared his firm belief and confidence in Col
Harvey but said that he would visit any other Of
our Commanders.
IL this inveterate enemy of the whites chooses to
conhne himself to the monotony Of hunters life,
within the narrow limits assigned him, accustomed
as he is pillage and murder in every portion Of our
territory the Floridans may consider themselves
particularly fortunate; but as there is nothing to
compel him to do and nothing to be forfeited by
not complying with his stpulations, (or the proviso
TO shoot Indians caught out Of the boundaries is GER
tainiy very safe one,) fearful that this talk
VIII end as all the former ones have in the murder
OF the first unwary white man, that chance throws
10 ms way. Neither Tiger Tail nor Wild Cat, have
yei come IN; but as Sam Jones is looked upon by u.s.
ed considered by the Indians, the greatest man in
the nation. they will undoubtedly be influenced bv
any course he may adopt.

u. n. Aaaruhnl,s Office.

A Giuffonous Sfe,card-On Thursday morning.
about o'clock, Quarry, one of the under marshsfs
OF this office, proceeded to negro boarding house
IN the neighborhood Of Burling Slip for the purpose
OF arresting one Dempsey Holland, the black stew
ard OF the ship Mary Holland. Now Dempsey stood
charged with purloining fifty pounds Of beef during
the voyage from New Orleans TO this port, and, as
may be supposed, he was toerbly fat and in good
condition. No sooner, however, did he catch sight
OF the officer than he made bolt by press Of can
vass, to show the officer nothing but his heels The
other, however, was nothing daunted, and he made
sail also IN the wake Of the negro. How long the
run would have continued we cannot say; but the
steward turned into Gold street, he ran against pie
man, and knocked all his wares into the gutter
The officer at the same time, encountered a basket
woman, whom he very unceremoniously rolled into
the middle Of the street. and without waiting TO beg
her pardon, made but three strides 10 the negro who
had been followed by the pie man, and logged him
across the Park, where he was transferred to the
lock up room
