After reading this narrative by Capt. Wm.

Oats, of Capt. Lesley's company, and three men of my company, were all engaged against from 40 to 50 savages. Lieut. Carlton, after securing William Parker, was shot down, and gave his gun to Oats saying: "I am done, take my gun and kill one." Oats ran up and said, "Give me Parker, and I will try to carry him away." Oats then picked up Parker to pass him on to Carlton, who immeditely said.

Plans for enlargement of the county court house were discussed by county commissioners in their meeting yesterday. The question of raising the estimated $250,000 for changes according to the old plans drawn by Architect J. Herbert Johnson, was considered. No other action but a recommendation for a preliminary survey of the county prison was taken. Bids were opened but not accepted, on contracts for the con struction of two wooden bridges over Mill creek and Gates creek along a graded road near the Eagle Fruit farm, about eight and 10 miles northeast from Bradenton.

You're just as sure of the same good quality always as you are that its age done to the Indians In these attacks are five killed, and five or six wounded, all of whom the Indians dragged, away, except the one that had his throat cut, he being some distance from the edge of the hammock, they did not get him. The same night, trie Indians were around the place; they were heard to whistle, which was supposed to be a signal for the one who had his throat cut -4hey were too late; but still it caused greaexcitement and trouble, as we were but few in number; so despatches were sent off to Captain Durrance's station for help, which soon arrived in the persons of Sargeants Boggess and Durrance, with 15 men. Lieut.

Streaty Parker, of Captain Lesley's company, anxious to know what the Indians were doing, gathered eight or 10 men, and went on their trail from the battle ground and pursued it into the hammock, where they had posted themselves for battle; but not sufficient force to attack them, returned to the fort for the night. On the morning of the 15th, mustered 25 men, and pursued the trail down Peace Creek swamp, unitl night, and sent back for provisions early on the morning of the 16th; we then left a guard of five men 'with the horses, and followed the trail until 10, a. with 19 men, about which time we came upon their watch, who, judging from his surprised manner as he ran into camp, we think must have been asleep; two guns were fired at hlm, which alarmed the redskins," -who had taken up their position for battle it was an admirable selection being under the bluff, in the bend of the river but the brave 19 heroes were on hand, and the order to charge, was as promptly obeyed as though each had been going to a dance.

Several took to the river and were killed while swimming; but a large number eot across on the bluff, behind the' trees, whose fire at our party did more execution than those that were near, as they killed two of our men, George Howell- and Robt. Prine, and wounded three more, James Whldden, Wm. P. Brooker, and John S. Skipper.

Thus being deprived of the assistance of five men, we had but 14 effective men, and, seeing that the Indians were endeavoring to flank us, now they had recovered from their surprise, it was thought best to retreat from our position, which we did in good order, taking with us our wounded. The Indians, not caring or wishing for a repetition 1 of the-lesson had given them, kept at respectful distance, and we carried our wounded to Brooker's place, which was our rendezvous for the present. When we arrived there, about 2 o'clock p. m. the wounds had all been dressed, and' the doc tor said they would all get well.

A party had been sent out to bring in the dead, and I started with a detachment to meet them they were brought in, and the dead and wounded then taken to Ft. Meade. I then paraded all that were able to march and continued about five miles along the swamp side, and encamped for the night. On the morning of the 17th, we again set cut in search of those bloodthirsty savages with the general wish and expectation that we should get an other fight out of them. We struck the swamp at Chokanicla bridge, that was burnt, and crossed over to the west side, finding no signs, and, supposing them above, we proceeded there near the battle ground, and dismounted; on entering the swamp, and approaching the battle ground, we struck a trail and found one dead Indian covered over by the wagon cover -r-r 1 41 J.

Secretary Hoover was advised by the department of justice that the government was without power to make any regulations governing radio in the absence of specific laws from congress. In commenting upon the de cision; McDonald said "the govern ment has power to regulate radio based on good and enforceable laws already in force."

War between the United States and Japan has been "decreed by Heaven" and is Japan's only hope of salvation from national disaster, in the opinion ol Seijiro Kawashima, veteran publicist. The sole object of Japan in such a warr Kawashima declares, would be to open the uninhabited or sparsely populated lands of the world to settlement by the Japanese. He is a strenuous and martial advocate of a "universal open door" policy with respect to immi gration. "There Is a devil whlcn restrains Japan from having recourse 'to such a policy," Kawashima writes in Naikwan, a magazine chauvinistic proelivitiesr "That devil is no other than the United States. She now repels immigrants from this country and has a secret intention of driving out those Japanese who already have settled there, even those-who have been granted American citizenship.

"Not content with exclusion of Japanese from her land, the United States is strenuous in preventing our nationals from entering quarters beyond her jurisdiction. Canada and other nations are following suit. "Japan cannot longer stand such injustice. A Japanese-American conflict is decreed by Heaven. "The United States is an evil spirit menacing the existence of Japan, who is now under the pressing necessity of trying conclusions with her.

A war with the United States is an absolute necessity. Japan cannot attain her national development, nor can she safeguard her national existence, due to the bad tricks of the United States. Japan has reached an impasse because of the United States anti-Japanese policy. This mortifying nuisance must be kicked out of the way of Japan. The extermination of this abominable impedime'nt will restore sound national health to this empire." Having told why he thinks war with the United States is necessary, Kawashima proceeds to outline a father fanciful scheme for conducting the war which he con tends would bring victory to the Japanese forces.

Success for Japan, he declares, would depend upon skill in tactical operations. First pn this tactical program would be quick seizure of Guam and the Philippines. This would be followed by a "bold and resolute attack on Hawaii with torpedoes, mines, submarines, and airplanes." In this naval battle which Kawashima visions up-to-date cruisers are the "key to Japan's victory." Tie believes that by torpedo, airplane and submarine attacks Japan can sink enough of America's capital ships to equalize naval strength and the advantage will then' lie with Japan "since it has many light cruisers and seagoing submarines of an up-to-date type." The decisive battle of this war of Kawashima's imagining will come when the United States endeavors to recapture the Philippines.

We believe from the best calculation that can be made, that there were 20 Indians killed, and five or six wounded.

On the 2nd day after the last battle of Lieut Streaty Parker, Capt. Durrance and others examined the ground, found one Indian floating upon top of the water with his shot pouch around his neck and one hundred rifle balls in It, and that there was a bad stench. They found some of the Indian's plunder, moccasons, dressed buckskins, etc. I firmly believe there is no rec ord of warfare exhibiting higher instances of cool and deliberate bravery than displayed on these two memorable occasions by the volunteers of the frontier.

We scouted down the Ala-fia river to where an Indian trail crossed the river, just above Roe's there finding, as we thought, Indian signs, our opinion was they had gone south, with the intention of making an attack on Manatee, so we forced our march to that place; when we arrived there, find ing no signs, and all quiet, we proceeded backward for Horse Creek, as it was a place of resort for Indians, who had been in the habit of furnishing themselves with potatoes therefrom. On reaching it, we made a thorough examination of the premises, and finding no prints or marks of the foe, and, it being late in the day of the 15th, we halted, and encamped, and sent two men to Ft. Green, as express, to know if there were any accounts of the Indians; about 12 o'clock, that night, they returned, bringing the thrilling news of the attack on Tillis' house, on the morning of the 14th, about 7 o'clock, where Mr. Tillis, his son, and Thomas Underbill fired on the Indians from inside the house, and that they wounded 5 of them, two or three mortally; one of them, shot by a musket, fell on the ground, but he got off.
