Domestic Intelligence,
INTERESTING FROM FioRtna

An officer of the u. S. Army, in Flor.
ida, who left the Territory on the l4,h in.
slant, informs the editor Of Ire Savannah
Republican that there are not probably
more, on a fair estimate, than niaetp ,rqr.
riors left in The Territory OF Florida. A
portion of these, under Sam Jones and the
Prophet. are now in the Everglades-,he
rest, under HahccA Tustenuggee and

upon The military annals, are at present
in the Cove Of the Withiacoochee. Col.

tack upon this stronghold Of the enemy
and the 18th of April was the day fixed
upon for the assault, which will be- made
BY six d fftfent columns Of troops, who
will concentrate from as many different
directions.
The substance, therefore, Of the whole
news received lately from the seat of war,
is, that hostilties are very near Il conclu
sion. Such is the imprf sson among the
officers of the Army now in the field, and
pubic opinion, which IS more slow To de-

The loan bill for the Government, it is
said here, will be negotiat, d without any
trouble, notwithstanding all the croaklng
which has been heardng in and out OF
Congress. II is by no means surprising
that there should be such negotiation
for no investment could be safer. The

name, and hear the same from other
quarters.
Lord Ashburton is going on with his
mission here, and most successfully, il
would seem, so far as the preliminaries de-
pend upon good understanding. Be-
tween his Lordship, the Executive, and
Executive officers there is the best under
standing. Socially his Lordship is treat
ed with mark kindness and respect. Mr..
dams entertained him an evening or two
since at his house, and made large par
ty to receive hun, including all the For
eign Ministers and Mr.. Clay.
To-diy he dimes at the house of the
Secretary of State, and early next week
party at his own house. The Pres dent
has already given him handsome enter
tainment. So far every thing looks well
to pacific Termination of matters.

WAsHNGros, April %, 1912.
The House of Repre- sen,atives before
the adjournment yesterday evening, voted
upon most of the important amendments
submitted. No vote was taken, however,
upon any number below 60,500. The
committee sustained this number by
vote of 76 to 81. Ii is an important vote,
and indicative of the result at which it will
ultimately arrive. The House voted upon
numbers varying sometimes but five hun.
bred TO one hundred and forty one thou
sand and fraction. The votes were ia
ken in committee, and, therefore, no one
is yet upon record. The vote in favor Of
100000 was only thir:y.sx, and only
,hirty-sx in favor Of 76,500. But little
debate was had upon the bill, and there
seems no disposition to discuss it at any
length. The Senate. in the protection
which the small States have in that branch
Of the Government where all the States
are equally represented, will have an OPP
portunily to amend the bill and procure
the corrections which the House may
deem unnecessary. New York speaks
