This was also for the alleged stealing
of slaves from the settlers.
Prior to these wars the Spaniards had
almost u continuous war with Apula.
chan Indians. They were the most
hostile of all of the Florida tribes, and
waged n relentless war against the
Spaniards. 1t was unsafe for one to
leave the limits of st. Augustine, as the
enemy prowled around in the darkness
of the pine forests waiting to strike to
death the white man who had come
to rob him of his lands and game.
Finally, about the middle of the seven
teenth century, the tribe was subdued,
and they were brought to st. Augustine
and put TO work on the defenscs. But
for this victory over the Apalachians the
fort would. perhaps, never have been
built. About quarter of century
later. the Yemassees, living at the viii
lnge of Macariz, about one mile north of
st. Augustine, rebelled against Spanish
cruelty, and drove the Spaniards out
of their houses into the fort. The In
dians waylaid and massacred the Span
iards whenever they left the fort. The
SDaniards now numbered about 2.000
During the second war with Great
Britain our government sent an eXpe-
dition against Florida TO prevent it
from falling into the hands of the Brit
ish. The country was almost devas-
tated by the troops. especially the town
of ST. Augustine. which was doomed to
again suffer. whether in war or in peace.
After lengthy diplomatic correspond
ence. the United States paid for the
damages.
A few years later few hundred
American adventures Landed on Amelia
island, opposite ST. Augustine. and
raised the American flag, taking pos
session of the country by proclama-
tion. The Spaniards sent troops from
St. Augustine to capture the invaders.
There was no fighting and the ad-
venturers held their ground. They
elected governor and other officers
and set up a miniature republic. 1t
ended about year later when the
United States purchased Florida
Spain believing the peninsula to be
worthless, and preferring S5.0o0,0o0.
Many of the Spaniards now left ST.
Augustine as their forcfathers had
when the old town passed into the pos
session of the English half a century
previous. And when the Spaniards re-
occupied the country, the English. in
turn, left, when the Spanish emigrants

appeared, and the valiant governor,
mistaking them for Spanish men-of-
war, raised the siege and fed to South
Carolina. The provisions of the gar
rison were nearly exhausted, and the
garrison would soon have surrendered:
and, in his flight, the governor lost the
opportunity of adding an empire to the
British crown.
About quarter of century later,
Gov. Oglethorpe. of Georgia, with few
thousand Of Georgia militia-the first
organized-attacked the town. He
claimed that the Spaniards had been
stealing negro slaves. and 1t was TO re-
store this property that the attack was
made; also to teach a lesson to the
Spaniards." 1t was a kind of merry
war-the siege lasting more than a
month. His guns were planted at such
n distance from the fort that few shots
were effective. Some struck the fort;
and, finally, with drums beating and
banners flying. the expedition returned
] to Georgia.
A few years afterwards an expedition
under Col. Palmer, of South Carolina,
sacked and burned ST. Augustine-not
house was left standing. The Span,
iards had fed to the fort. and from this
stronghold made only weak defense

of the territory now comprising the
United States. excepting Alaska. Spain
was in her grandeur, and extended over
greater portion of the world than
any other country in history except
ing Rome. On this spot was landed the
first cargo of negro slaves in this coun-
try, and here began the slave trade.
And here the English, temporarily oc-
cupying the country, hanged in effigy

signers of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and later imprisoned about so
leading citizens of South Carolina as
rebels.
And here were enacted the bloodest
scenes that ever stained the annals of
crime. The Spaniards had scarcely
made settlement lin 1864 when about
200 French Huguenots arrived. One of
the vessels was shipwreclked below St.
Augustine. They came ashore under
the promise of protection, and. after
their hands had been tied, they were
put to death at spot called the Ma
tanzas-the place of killing.
A few did not surrender, and trusted
their lives to the savages. The Span
iards put up an inscription: ''Killed
not as Frenchmen; but as heretics."
About year later French expedition
arrived and put the Spanish garrison,
of about the same number. to death,
and burned the town. The commander
put up the inscription: "Killed not as
Spaniards. but as assassins." The YES
sci returned, and Spain soon sent more
soldiers to where st. Augustine had
stood.
Subsequently the town was twice
sacked and burned by English pirates.
A farcical siege was that of Gov.
Moore, of South Carolina, in the early
part of the past century. This bur-
lesque at war almost serves as n relief
to the series of bloody wars which St.
Augustine has passed through. Eng
land and Spain were at war, and the
doughty governor sought to make n
military record, and incidentally to
sack the town. The land expedition en-
tered the town without resistance, and,
instead of attacking the fort, the gov
ernor sat down before it for long
siege. In about a month. two frigates

the town having at that time a popula-
ton of about 5000, exclusive of the SOL
diers. 1t was perhaps the prettiest
town in America. The streets were mar

the boughs of the trees on ench side,
which so interlaced as to form an arbor

most shut out the light of the sun.
The houses were mainly built of CO.

one or two stories in height, two rooms

The two-story houses had verandas
overhanging the street, where the Sc
noritas and their cavaliers sat in the
dreamy twilight, singing and playing
the soft, melodious airs of Spain, whis-
Pering the old, yet ever new, story that
was first told in Paradise. Around each
house was q garden in which grew
oranges and other fruits, and of course
flowers. The little orange orchard was
the main source of revenue for the fam
lily.
The village, Of perhaps 100 houses.
was almost embowered amid the dark
green foliage of the orange trees, for
they were luxuriant and grew to great
height. Beneath this mass of verdure,
which almost hid the pueblo from view.
were masses and banks of roses, which,
blending their fragrance with the aroma
of the orange, the banana and the palm,
made the air almost oppressive with per-
fume.
But this ideal life in this modern
Eden changed when the Americans oc-
cupied Florida. Gen. Jackson came over
and began to stir up the Seminole and
Creek Indians, and the Indians made
war alike upon Americans and Span
iards. This war lasted nearly 20 years.
