Many Indians Killed
The chief Of the Seminole Indians
in Miami, leaving the everglades for
treatment for his injuries, reported
that many of his people had been

mean that perhaps 100 of the $50 In
dians in that section had perished.
Relief measures were being pushed
today with all possible dispatch.
The United States Navy destroyer
Downe left Charleston, S. c., last
night, planning to travel 26 knots an
