The INDIAN TROUBLES IN FLoRIpA-We UNI
6derstand that prompt measures have been taken
by the Secretary Of War, to hold several
companies in readiness to proceed, at moment's
warning, to reinforce the troops now in Florida,
should II appear that the conduct of the four In
dams who murdered Mr.. Barker, IN the settlement
on Indian nver, be at all countenanced by the
small party Of the Seminoes who still remain in
FLORIDA. There is no reason to suppose, however,
that this recent outrage ofthe few, indicates either
the feeling or the purpose OF the tribe; but of this
We can have assurance I'LL farther reports
which have been called for, can be received from
the commanding officers in Florida The perpe-
traitors are required to be delivered up at once.
The intelligent officers on the spot are on the
alert, and they, doubt, will be able to re-
port fully on the present state of Indian affairs
in Florida.
Since giving our remarks, a few days ago, on
the subject, we have taken occasion to refer to the
number of warriors left in the assigned strip Of
land IN the peninsula. He states the number to be
50. in November, 1913.
The number is reported at later date Qsi5), by
Capt. ). 4. Sprague, OF the army, who, until re-
Gently, had in charge the superintendency of the
Indians IN Florida HIS work on the Florida war
was published during the last year. He says:-
"Very recent intercourse with the Indians re-
mang within the limits of the State has enabled
those upon whom the duty devoIved to ascertain
correctly the number, and the disposition mani
tested IN regard to peace and future emigration as
well as their present condition. There are new
