The wivesot the prisoners at Fort Pickens will not be removed from Fort to Mount Vernon, but will be allowed to join thetr bucks at Fort Pickens, Capt. Pratt, superintendent of the Indian school at Car- lsle, has gone to Fort Marion to select thirty or torty young Indians to be instructed at the Indian school. The removalof the others wil: not be made until after he has made the selections. There has been no sickness at Fort Marion since the In- diaus have been there, bus’ their quarters were crowded, and it was thought advisable to remove them to a thier location where they will have plenty of room, and, be free trom the hundreds of curious people who flock about them every time they appear. ‘The change Was recommended by Gen. Sheridan some tme ago. ‘Their new home at Mount Vernon barracks is peculiarly well suited to them. It 1s situated in the southwestern part of Alabama, on the Mobile river, not a great distance from Mobile, in the midst of a large pine forest. ‘The govera- ment reservation, a good deal of which can be cul- Uvated, consists of 3.100 acres, nearly three miles Jong by one mile wide. ‘The barracks are occu- pied by two cnmpantes of artillery. ‘The Indians ‘will not live at the barracks, but intents after thelr custom, and it 1s expected that they will bé more comfortable and happfer than they have been for years, and that ‘they can be taught to work and ‘support them- selves. Geronimo and his brother renegades are not kept in solitary confinement at Fort Pickens, as has been generally supposed, but. are under guard, and are required to work.’ Now that their Squaws are to be permitted to join them, their lives will doubtless ‘be happier, but they will be none ‘the less prisoners, and thelr warpath days ‘will never return. “_¢9¢—__ Mr. Blaine in Chicago.
