INDIAN TROOPS.
as to the Value of Their Service in the Event of War
 with Spain.

An interesting question to be consid. cred, it is believed, in the event of war with Spain is how many Indian troops would be available for active service. if necessary to employ them. Of course It IS understood that the Indians could not be drafted into the service. as in the majority of cases express stfpulations nave been made in the treaties that they are not to be mixed up in hostilities with which this country is concerned. It is believed, however, that if they were actually needed they would be mustered in. During the war between the states there were hundreds of h. dians enlisted. Of the tribes, the Cher okees were we'll represented.
 Chief Duncan, of the nation, said to A Star reporter that he thought 1t likely the Cherokees would enlist and take part in the fight with the Spaniards. The nature of the Indian, he says, is phlegmatic in the extreme, and it takes some time for him to make up his mind. When it is settled, though, and the step is taken, he is one of the last to give in.
 The Cherokees' country, MT. Duncan states, was devastated during the civil war, as badly as is Cuba at the present time. It was the borderland of the con- fiict for the two armies, and felt the full force of the powerful current of war fare. Though the Indians had been promised protection, troops were with drawn from the forts, and the Chero- kees suffered the consequences.
 Several regiments were organized by the Indians, they being forced into it, to certain extent. The most of these were commanded by officers of their own race, and they fought bravely through the battles in which they were concerned. One of these was the battle of Oak Hill, where Gen. Lyon was killed Some of the regiments shared the for tunes of the federal troops, and others joined hands with those of the south
 The Indian is a warrior by nature Mir. Duncan says. and though the Chero' kees are peaceful and law-abiding citi zens, being engaged at the present ir agricultural pursuits. it is possible they would be found ready 10 take up arms and fight against a foreign invader Washington Star.
