I will give the date of the treaty and read a passage from it. The treaty was made August 28. 1856. and is found on page 110 of the Revision of Indian Treaties. The language of the treaty. which I wish to read. is as follows: The further sum of$250.000 stall be invested in like manner whenever the Sem. inoles now remaining in Florida shall have emigrated and joined their brethren in the West. whereupon the two sums so invested shall constitute a find belonging to the united tribe of Seminoles. and the interest on which. at the rate aforesaid. shall be annually paid over to them per capita az annuity. That remnant of the tribe never migrated to the West. they are in Florida. They are not within the jurisdiction of the Interior Department. as the Secretary of the Interior says they are not the objects of uts care.
