GEN. CAMERON'S CONDITION.
No Hope Entertained Of His Recovery
by His Physicians.

Yesterday was day Of anxious watching and
suspense at Donegal farm. Gen. Simon Cam
eron laid in a semi-unconscious condition, sur
rounded by his family and the physicians, who
can hold out no hope to them. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wayne MacVeagh, Mrs. Haldeman, James
Cameron, son of Senator Don Cameron, and
Simon B. Cameron, another grandson, who lives
at Donegal farm, are constantly at the dying
veterans bedside. Early in the day he seemed
to recognize his daughters. but late in the af-
ternoon all signs of recognition had vanished
and the doctors then notified the family that
the end might come at any moment. The
generals great vitality might sustain life for a
time, but life could not last long,
Somewhat of a coincidence Is the fact that
the widow of General Camerons brother, James
Cameron, is now lying at the point of death at
her home III Lancaster from paralytic stroke
She is very aged, and no hopes are held out for
her recovery.

While Washington may not boast of being a
great commercial center its residents are for
tunate in having in their midst many enter
prising merchants and business men. The
people of Washington have come to learn that
in the stores of Washington they can find as
great a variety of goods, sold at prices as low,
as in any city in the country. even in the
boosted centers of trade. Washington's bust
ness men are known to be wide awake and
progressive. In all the changing conditions
which have marked the development of the
city during the past two decades the business
men have always been found in the front ranks
and ready to help on with any enterprise CIV
ing promise of benefit to the community. They
have in public affairs shown the same qualities
that have made them successful in the conduct
of their private business. Many of them, be-
ginning at the foot of the ladder, dependent
entirely upon their own exertions, have
achieved success by steady application and
energy. The sketches given in previous issues
of The STAR of the careers of our business men
demonstrates what can be accomplished by in
dividual effort when it is backed by an earnest
purpose and clear head. These sketches.
too. have given an insight into the business
methods that have resulted in the building up

FIRED AT BY HAYTIENS.
An American Whaler's Experience at
Sam Bay.

The schooner Baltic, of Provincetown, Cap
tain Joseph Fisher, arrived at New Bedford,
Mass, yesterday, from an Atlantic ocean whal-
ing voyage Captain Fisher had thrilling ex-
perience last May, while at Sam Bay San Do
mingo, where he put in for water. He visited
the bay February 6, and was boarded by the
officer OF the fort, a general, who came on
board with soldiers and inspected the vessel.
Captain Fisher said he was going whaling, and
the general gave him permission to get wood
and water as long as he stayed in that vicinity
On the 18th of May the schooner again visited
the watering place. At o'clock in the evening
five soldiers, under command of an officer
came down and fred ten or fifteen shots at the
schooner. They were armed with good Amer
lean rifles.
When the first shot was fred Capt Fisher
was aft with the officers, and all hands but the
steward were Oh deck. The first shot Just
cleared the captain head, passing a foot above
him. The next two went forward among the
crew standing on the windiass bits They
passed close to two seamen. With the bullets
lying. the captain had no opportunity to show
the American flag. The soldiers on shore kept
firing, and Capt. Fisher ordered all hands be-
low and went himself. When the soldiers
found no one on deck, they fired into the YES
sci, hitting the copper cooler near the fore
mast, the bullets going through it. 1t was 50
late when tine firing stopped that Capt Fisher
did not dare go ashore, for fear he would be
| shot in the dark. The next day he went ashore
and demanded an explanation. The officials
gave him no satisfactory answer, saying they
thought the vessel was Spanish smuggler;
but as Spanish vessels Whereabouts carry no
boats on the side, he resolved to seek a higher
authority.
Accordingly, on May 16 he went to Grudjua,
8 miles to the westward. and sought an inter
view with Gen. Pappoo, who ordered boat
and went down that evening with police off,
Gals, and. after paying the schooner visit,
arrested the five soldiers. They were arraigned
and tried. Three days after Gen. PappoO re-
leased them, giving as his reason to Capt
Fisher tina; he found that they did not kill any
one. There is lack OF discipline about the
military. and the Americans attribute the at
tack to liquor. A complaint against the Hay
tien government will be sent to Secretary
Blaine by Capt. Fisher. The men who did tho
firing were Haytiens.

as reward for his energy was taken into the
firm at the age of twenty-one and sent to WASH
ington to take charge of the store here. This
store was established in 1875 at els Pennsyl-
