the northwest, is the lighthouse lieurin'-:

A "; COST OF THE FORTIFICATION,
f j congress macte ttie nrst appropria
te! tlon of $.",0,000 for the construction of
3 the fort in 1844, and the work w as be-
f gun In 1846. Garden Key. upon which
it stands, was not as large as the fort
"SS that was designed, and several neigh
v 4 boring islets of sand were taken up by
the shipload and deposited upon its

i Into the coral. For 1 ri years the work
jj dragged slowly on. and at the outbreak
lof the war the fort was still incotn
Iplete and hardly defensible. When it
i was at nrst garrisoned in the winter
. Sol 1860-61 It had cost $1,400,000; f,.r every
J brick in its 8-feet thick walls, .-v. r

-had to be earled by sea from New- York
land other Northern ports. As soon as
Jthe War Department determine,! to use
llt for a military prison, Contrress began
9 to lavish money upon it. In 1S00 and
i 1861 '$250,000 was appropriated. On Feb
jruary 20, 1862. a bill appropriating $2.
000 was passed, and on the same day
1 another for $10u.0(i: and later in the
'day a third, a total of half a million
j dollars in a single day. As the fort Hil
led up with prisoners, ninny of them ot
Importance, i4: was proposed to enlarge
?the Hiccommndntinns by building an an
Inex fort on the adjoining Bird Key. and
i $650,000 more was appropriated for the
1 purpose. But this project was aban
.doned, after the plans had been made.
;and the money was used upon the oriir
'inal structure. The last appropriation
Jwas made in 1878. and the garrison was
withdrawn In .1878. Up to that time
,Uhe structure alone had cost $2,935,000.
(The solo representative of the army in
the fort for years was Ordinance Ser
geant William Keller, who painted the
?old 0lumblads with coal tar once a
. year.
'INCLOSUHES OF THE FORTRESS.
I Since 18S8 Fort Jefferson has been
'used as a Federal Quarantine Station.
3 under. .the charge of D. R. D. Murray,
and In the summer months it could he
,vilted- only with his permission. The
Adjutant General of the army describes
ith fort as "a double -casemated. hex
agonal structure of brick, standing on
liardon, Key, Tortugas, the most South
western part of the Florida reefs, ia
lattilude, i4 degrees 37 minutes 47 sec
onds north, longitude 82 degress 52
minutes 08 seconds west." In 1864, he
nddjj, "Jt contained about 1.000 prison
ers. Th key contains seven acres, five
of which are within the walls of the
fort. . The average height of the kev
above th sea Is three and one-half
feetj but an excavation over two and a
half feet develops the primitive coral
and the Salt water of the gulf."
V'he landing, place is In front of a
j ,den structure. In which the fumi
gating apparatus of the quarantine
station, and a wooden bridge leads
icross the flfty-f not wide moat up to
the heavy granite portal. A steam
aunch and several .smaller quarantine
xiatB float peacefully In the moat, and
n a dosert steps from the entrance the
isltor is wtthln the -fort: On every
Ida utretch away the long rows of case
nates, one above the other, in as good
ondition now ks when first built. The
h t proper is too sblid a struc
ore to become. a ruin in anything less
ban centuries. The only signs of decay
er evident have been In the wooden
slleries to lv access to the barbette
l icanlnev extending in front of what
. fivilian would call the roof of the
irt, , Tbese have been weakened by
se, and occasionally a hurricane has
own one down. ' To the right is a
t trice for the keeper of the Tortugas
lit. or light, which shines from the
. i f one of the bastions, and beyond
j Is an Immense three-story brick
ling, barracks for the men. s Di
v opposite the entrance, across the
urea, la the pffleers' quarters, .
r large three-story brick build-I
i'o the left of this Is a row of
one-story brick houses for the non
commissioned officers.
A SCENE OF DESOLATION.
The inclosure up to the time of re
cent activities was a picture of deso
lation, flushes had overgrown it. and
there were trailing vines that trip the
exploring visitor, and buttonwood trees
in clusters. Thirty cocoanut palms have
grown till their feathery tops are far
above the walls of the fort. When there
were 1,000 prisoners and about 800 sol
diers within the fort outbreaks of yel
low fever were frequent, and all the
victims but two were buried on neigh
boring sand-keys, which have since
been washed away. A small monument
near the barracks marks the resting
place of the two who were buried w ith
in the walls Brevet Major Joseph Sim
Smilh. Assistant Surgeon, who died ot
yellow fever September S, 1S;7, aged
thirty years, and Henry Price. onl
son of Poseph Sim Smith, who also di
of yellow fever ten days later, agi
three years and six months.
Water was always a serious que
tioii at Fort Jefferson, and immett
stone tanks were built for its stiTaii
extending under almost the w ho(
structure, mill undrr a lare seeiiei
the inelosure. A giant steam eomleit
ser was kept almost constantly
work: but this expensive machine ha
stood so many years idle and urn-arc
for thai it is ruined by rust, and is tal
ing lo pieces. The quarantine estal
lishnient was supplied with rain watt
caught upon the acres of roofs.

inning these excit.ng times there are
given witch dances, war (lane, s, scalp

generations back. The lapse of time
however, has worked little change iri
these tribal dances, and on these reser
vations they are reproduced today with
all the relish and wild enthusiasm of
th savages of a century ago.
It seems rather strange that the In
dians living on the two above named
reservations still maintain their sav
age customs while the Alleghany reser
vation or Republic is mostly populated
with Christian Indians who have long
since renounced their old creeds and
put on the garb of civilization. Stranire
as ii may seem, it is nevertheless a fact,
co., nif Mxiy years ago me Indians
of the Alleghany reservation renounced
paganism and all of its barbarous cus
toms and since that time thev have
never once relapsed. When they be
eane Christians they gave up "chief
rule" and adopted a Republican form of
government, the only tribe of Indians

as Peacemakers. They have jurisdiction
civil cases only, however, criminal
cases being tried by the regular State
courts. Sixteen Councilors, eight from
eacn reservation, form the legislative
uouy oi me rtepubiic, and enact the
laws governing their affairs. Of late
the Alleghany Republic has been exper
iencing a great deal of difficulty with
Its affairs, and Congress has felt com
pelled to take a hand in the adminis
tration of the affairs of President Theo
dore Fi Jamerson, who Alls the execu
tive chair at this time. Naturally
President Jamerson feels that suspicion
Is being cast upon his methods of con
ducting his high office.
The action taken by Congress was to
introduce a bill, which, If passed, would
deprive the Alleghany Republic of Its
power to collect rents and administer
the financial end of its government
This measure President Jnmersnn iw-
