GENERAL PALMA's OPINION.
Does Not Credit Stories of Friction Be-

Does Not Credit Stories of Friction Be-
 tween American and Cuban Troops.
 Washington, July 21.--General Palma, president of the Cuban junta is in this city. He does not credit the stories about the reported friction between Cuban soldiers and the Americans.
 ''I think" he said, "all Cubans recog- nize the nice work of the United States in helping the Cubans to attain their independence. I cannot think any regular soldiers of the Cuban army have refused to help build roads, dig trenches, etc. I do not know what some few scattered soldiers may have pose that any of the regulars under Garcia have declined to do such ser vice. General Garcia from the begin ming said he was ready to do all that was necessary to aid the Americans, and his soldiers have for years been doing just such work as you refer to-. l They have grown accustomed to just such work"
 What do you estimate as the num- Der of Cuban soldiers under arms in | Cuba at this time" he was asked. q think we have about 55000 soldiers under arms in Cuba now" said Gener- al Palma. "There are probably about 4,O0O or 5000 soldiers with Garcia, and | the balance of them are scattered all over Cuba. It must be remembered that we have possession of a good many towns, and there must be a guard over them by our Cuban army. All through the provinces there are needs for the protection which is af- forded by these soldiers. Most of our cavalry is in Puerto Principe"
 General Palma does not credit the re- ports regarding the death of General
 Garcia. He said he had a letter from General Garcia a few days ago and
 believed he was still alive.

OBITILiRY.
Death of Robert Camp, Prominen
 Resident of Mtddlobury.

Resident of Middlebury.
 Robert Camp of Middlebury, aged eighty-seven years, died yesterday at a. m. The deceased had many relatives and friends in New Haven and Milford, and was a frequent visitor to this city until his eyesight failed him, about ten years ago.
 Robert Camp was the son of Amos and Mehitabel (Smith) Camp, and was born July g, 1S11, on the place where he had always resided, to which his father removed from Milford in the beginning of the present century. The immediate ancestor of his father was also named Amos Camp, and he was one of the descendants of the three Camp brothers who first located in this state. One set tied on the Connecticut river near Mid dletown: another removed to the west ern part of the state, and the third was the Milford ancestor. The journey was made to Middlebury by MT. Camps pa rents on horseback
 MT, Camps boyhood was spent on his fathers farm, where he was trained to those habits of industry and thrift which enabled him to make a success of his occupation. Early thrown upon his own resources, and having only his enerev as capital stock in trade, he applied himself so diligently to the work of carving out place for himself that he soon won the confidence and credit of those who could assist him, which credit had never been withdrawn nor has the confidence been diminished To his own share of the paternal home stead near Middlebury Center he added by purchase the shares of other heirs until he owned the major portion of it. In 1860 he removed the old house and 1 built on it's site the present residence now occupied by his sons family. For many years MT. Camp was successful wool buyer, but devoted himself mainly to the work and cares of the farm which he so prudently managed that his labors have been well repaid. His success demonstrates what may be ac- complished by pluck, perseverance and we'll directed efforts even in this muct | QeDreCldIGu NUCdllOl' LII Ille Spl HIS o' l 1888 he became almost totally blinC and was thus incapacitated from fur ther active work, although vigorous il other respects.
 MT Camp was married September 10 1884 to Olive A., daughter of Truman Judson of North Woodbury, who dieC November g, 1869, aged fifty-eight. The. had three children, one son who dieC in infancy; daughter, Mrs. Saral Fem of Middlebury, and a son, George Pruden, who now occupies the parenta homestead.
 The deceased was an uncle of the lat Ellery Camp of this city, who was Chapel street merchant for many years and was cousin of the late Dr. Allel A. Smith of this city,
 Robert Camp was always intereste' in the affairs of his native town, serv ing it in various capacities, being als q selectman in 1862. As a member 0 the Congregational society he was fo twenty years treasurer of the ministeri al fund He was a director of the An sonia bank and was interested in othe corporate bodies in the Naugatuck val ley.

They Want to Smoke.

London, July 23.-The Daily Tele-
graph publishes a dispatch from St.
Petersburg which says the ladies of
the Russian court are greatly upset at
the fact that the czarina has forbidden
cigarette smoking in her presence.
The dispatch adds that the ladies have
petitioned her majesty to withdraw
the prohibitory ukase, pointing out
that ladies smoke cigarettes at all the
courts of Europe and that there are
smokers among the crowned heads and
the princesses of royal blood, includ-
ing the dowager czarine, the empress
of Austria, the queen of Roumania, the
queen regent of Spain and the queen
of Portugal, while, they allege, the
greatest devotee of all is Princess Hen
ry of Prussia, the sister of the czarina.

BLANcO's PROCLAMATION.
What the Spanish General Thinks Of
the Santiago Anair-His Army
Sure Of Victory.

Havana, July 23.-Capt. Gen. Blanco
has issued the following proclamation
announcing the capitulation of Santi-
ago. 1t is dated Havana, July II:
after three months heroic defense and
many bloody combats, owing to a scarcity
Of ammunition and victuals, the garrison
Of Santiago de Cuba has been forced to
capitulate under honorable conditions and
with all the honors Of war. This occurred
on the day Of July 16. when 1t was recog-
nized by the brave Spanish general of d.
vision who was acting commander of the
place, that resistance was useless and that
he could no longer hold the place. Not.
withstanding that reenforcements had
been possible, and that although he should
receive such from ManZaniilo, and al
though he should still cover further losses
and bloody combats. and although he might
put the city in a better condition Of de-
tense, he was still face to face with the fact
that reenforcements would only make fur
Their inroads upon the already greatly con-
sumed and nearly exhausted store of pros
visions of the Spanish garrison. The
city was thus placed in very lament-
able condition. The situation was antici-
pated, but it caused great depression to the
Spanish forces.
1.-THE occupation Of the city of Santiago
by the military forces of the Americans Is
lacking in strategic Importance, owing to
the fact that the city had previously been
closely blockaded for long time by the
American ships and will have little or no
effect on the development of the Spanish
campaign which is to decide Spain's fate.
The Spanish army is intact and eager for
glory. 1t is willing to measure arms with
the Americans, and in this army the king
Of Spain, the Spanish government and the
whole country place the trust of defense
at any cost of the integrity of Spanish ter
ritory and the honor of SPANS immaculate
nag.
This army is sure to be triumphant and
victorious at the last in spite Of 80 many
dangers and impedments, and that 1t will
show once more the indomitable Spanish
bravery and well-known military talents
Of our people is the hope and expectation
Of your general-in-chief.

Work of Il Mob.

st. Louis, July 21.-A special to the
Republic from Natchez, Miss, says:
A telegram received here announced
that an Infatuated mob had stormed the
Simpson county Jail at Westville, kill
ing w. T. Patterson, who was con-
fined therein under the charge of muir
dering Lawrence Brinson, and the Jail
was fired and the building and the
body of the prisoner were burned.
The body of the unfortunate man was
literally riddled with bullets. Patter-
son killed Crimson in April, 1897, as the
result of a quarrel. He had had four
trials, but always escaped sentence on
some technicality, and the mob inter-
vened, wearied by the laws delay.

HoBsoN ARRIVES.
Famous Lieutenant Comes to Urge the
Fastening of the Saving OF the
Spanish Warships.

Washington, July 23.-One of the
most agreeable events of the day was
the arrival at the navy department of
Lieut.. Hobson, the hero of the Merri-
mac. The officials were not informed
of his approaching visit, EXCEPT
through the newspapers. Consequent-
ly when he reached the railway station
here at 1888 o'clock Friday afternoon
there was no official there to meet
him, and his reception was truly DEM
ocratic. He succeeded in escaping OBJ
servation as he passed through the
train shed, coat and umbrella in hand.
and followed by porter proudly car
rying his bag, but before he emerged
from the station some one spied him,
hurrah went up from one throat by
MIN, and in moment the station re-
sounded with vociferous shouting.
The cry of "Hobson, Hobson," rang
out and the crowd closed about him,
shaking his hand and pushing him
about until he was rescued by the po-
lice and escorted to his carriage.
The officer was driven at once to the
Army and Navy club, and after brush
ing himself up he drove over to the
navy department. A large crowd had
gathered about the doorway and the
hearty welcome it gave the young Of
tcer brought bushes to his cheeks.
About $3.50 o'clock Lieut.. Hobson
went to the white house to pay his re-
spects to the president. Secretary
Long accompanied him, the two walk
ing over to the executive mansion from
the navy department. The president
received them in the cabinet room. He
gave Lieut.. Hobson most cordial
greeting and paid high tribute for
what he regarded as one of the most
conspicuous acts of gallantry in the
history of naval warfare. The lieuten-
ant modestly acknowledged the com
pliments of President Mckinley and
quietly turned the conversation to the
object of his mission to the United
States at this time-the effort that is
being made to save to the navy of this
country some of the vessels of Admiral
Cervera's squadron.
