Mor'aIIt, In The seminole War.

The only experience the United
States Army has ever had In tropical
warfare was In Florida. from 1895 to
lSi2-the seven years war with the
Seminole Indians. While the condl-
lions there were much more favorable
than they are In Cuba. the mortality
from disease was enormous in com.
parison 10 the number OF men employ
cd. The records show that there we're
altogether 74OO troops engaged dur
Ing the seven years fighting against a
total OF about 5000 Indians. OF whom
1894 were men. 1857 women and 1913
children. The war was carried on In
manner very similar 70 that between
the Snaniards and the Cubans. The
Indians would never consent 20 a
stand-up fight unless they had a great
advantage. but lay In ambush and at
tackled the soldiers In the dark when
ever they could do 10 without expos
ing their own liyee. They lived on
the country, the native fruits. roots,
vegetables and game while the SOL
diers were required to carry supplies
with them and we're thus handicapped
and retarded "a their movements. Il
took seven years 10 subdue the saw
ages. and there was no peace until they
were practically eX,trminated. Al the
end OF seven years the fighting men
were reduced TO about three hundred.
and they were hidden In the ever
Biadea.
During these seven years out OF the
400 troops employed 1881 died
twenty three sailors and forty-two
marines. the remainder being officers
and soldiers Of the regular Army. OF
this number only IS were killed in bat
tie. PA died Of wounds and ] .259 OF
malarial diseases
As a result Of the Indian war there
are now on the pension rolls 6.66i per-
sons. Of whom 2.373 are survivors and
4.2sS widows. They receive an aver
age OF $4,000 a year In pensions. and
since 1898 have been paid S3,2i3.7Os
The total amount thus far paid By the
Government for pensions growing out
OF the Florida war will exceed $50, OOO.-

MILLINERY OPENING OF W. H.
SWEENY & co.

One of the leading millinery openings
of the week is that of William H,
sweeny & Co.. which is now in pro
gress.
Both of Mr.. Sweeny's large show win
dows are elaborately adorned in a man
ner to attract large share of attention
from feminine passers, and they were
surrounded by an admiring crowd much
of the time yesterday. Handsome life
like French forms are utilized to en-
hance the attractiveness of the display,
That in the south window is costumed
in turquoise and grey with hat to
match, While yellow and black are the
shades utilized in arraying the figure
in the north window.
A glance at the interior of the store
must convince any one that this Is to
be a great season for flowers. Roses
will take the precedence, and the
American Beauties, Jacks and bluette
varieties are first favorites. After the
roses, the tendency is to small flowers,
and a great deal of fine foliage and lilies
| of the valley, forget-me- and vio-
| let's will be much worn. The styles run
largely to fancy hats, and the prevail
| ing shades are turquoise, green's,
bluettes and yellow Yellow in parti-
cular will be worn more this season than
| it has for a number of years before.
Ornamental crowns in gold and silver
| and Jet embroidery, will be largely en-
ployed in the construction of this sea-
sons millinery, and they are shown in
great variety Crowns of fancy straw
braids will also be used. Pearl cut
steel and jet buckles win also be largely
worn, but rhinestone ornaments, which
have been popular in the past, will be
but little used on this seasons hats,
none at all appearing on the most fash
ionable creations
The ribbons shown include all the
latest patterns in Roman stripes, checks
and plaids, and the staple things in
plain and glace taffetas A large as
sortment of chiffons and the new liberty
silks are shown in a variety of fancy
shades to match the other materials
used in this seasons millinery. A full
line Of goods for misses and children's
wear are also carried including the
latest things in toques turbans and Tam
O. Shanters.
Today is the last day of the opening.
