INTERESTING
LETTER FROM
A n CAMP

A. M. Camp, who is touring Spain,
writes his father, A. P. Camp, the
following interesting account of his
experiences:
Madrid, Spain, April ID, 1914.
Dear Father:
l have been pretty much ION the
go" ever since l landed in Coruna,
and have seen SO much that was new
and kept so busy that l have had lit
tie time for letters. Today, however,
is rainy one and | will take advan-
tage of it to let you know am well
and that my trip is progressing in a
most satisfactory manner.
l found Coruna most attractive,
and the Hotel Francia very comfort
able, SO that l spent longer time
in northwestern Spain than had at
first intended.
So far, have seen nothing more
beautiful than Galicia. In a forty
mile auto trip l made from Coruna
to Santiago de Compostela, as well
as during the railroad journey from
Coruna to Madrid, was afforded q
good opportunity to see Galicia al
its best. For charming landscape
l do not think it can be surpassed
The country is hilly, even mountain
Gus, and these hills and mountains
are for the most part bare of trees,
although occasional forests Of careful
ly tended spindling pine trees are
met now and then. The remarkable
thing is that almost every inch of
the country is under cultivation. The
fields of grain continue clear to the
very mountain tops; the steepest
places being terraced, while the rocky
slopes which cannot be used in any
other way serve as vineyards. The
whole country is green and fresh, and
travelling through it over fine high
ways is delightful in every way.
The Gallegos are, save the Cstolon-
ians, the most thrifty and enterpris-
ing people in all Spain, and the gen.
eral appearance of their towns and
cities reflects these characteristics
The peasant women, for the most
part, wear the national costume in a
more or less modified form, and car
ry all burdens on their heads, from
a pound of coffee to a half load OF
coal. Some of the younger Of these
girls work in stores, and Of course
dress in modern style. and in Coruns
it was not an uncommon sight to see
a young lady walking down the street
wearing a slit skirt and talking tc
a soldier, with nothing remarkable ir
her appearance except the little odd
ity Of, say-a trunk ON her head.
Santiago de Compostela, where
spent Good Friday, is a most extra.
traordinary place; religious city; 8
Christian Mecca, a place Of priests
and moss covered temples, and gen
eral atmosphere of four hundred
years ago. It is said to be one Of thu
rainiest cities in Spain, and during
the day and night spent there I d.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 49,
The Brazilian minister at Mexico City
advised the state department today
that Consul Silliman is safe and en-
route to Mexico City. He was due
last night but was delayed on ac-
count of the destruction of the rail
way between Saltillo and Mexico City.
The murder of Private Parks will
not cause reprisal. Though the war
department is aflame over the kill
ing and privately the situation is de-
clared grave, Secretary Bryan insists
it is simply another outrage for
which Huerta is responsible and like
other outrages it will be considered
when the final settlement is made.
The president supports Bryan and in
sists that nothing must interfere with
mediation. He believes the Niagara
Falls conference will eliminate Huer-
ia and may produce real peace plan
He does not believe that additional
American fatalities should force Am
erica's hand now.
Mexico City dispatches emphasize
the gravity of the situation there
Mob rule is threatened. 1t is rumor-
ed, if opportunity offers, General
Banquet will seize the government.
