VERomance of Putnam’ 3 Camp.
Now that a new local interest is
awakened 1n the revolutionary heroes
who, under conrmand of Gen. Israel
Putnam, passed the winter of 1778-9 at
the Bedding campg around (now owned
and preserved by the state, ) it will well
repay many of our readers to call at
Pinneo’sand purchase a copy of the...
above interesting little book. for the
historical value and interest it has and
the lessons it conveys. The noble
young lady who wrote it, did not live
to publish it. It was her purpose to
devote the proceeds of its sale to objects
of charity. Her the portrait makes
the frentispiece to'- the little volume. It
is the purpose of her mother, Mrs. J.
H. Benedict, of Danbury, to give the
proceeds to the charitable uses the
daughter intended.
The story is finely written—and the
- inc1dents are historical. “The actors,"
says the author’s prefatory note,
“were actual personages about a cen-
tury ago.” The house occupied by
General Putnam as his headquarters,
V stands at this day on Umpawaug Hill,
and is occupied by Ephraim Barlow,a
descendant of Joel Barlow, who was
an ancestor of our Norwalk family of
Hill’s. Putnam’s guard- house still
stands near by, and further on the old
hospital. Putnam park, a domain of
thirty-three acres,g given to the state,
holds more relics or evidences of the
1e1olution than any other field in the
country. A monument to Putnam’s
memory there was built by Norwalk’s
sculptor, P. W. Bates. On Gallows
Hill two spies were executed. The
author, says the Hartford Times in its
review of the book. has interwoven in
her narrative the Story of their lives,
and a thread of romance running’a‘cross
the warp of the historical facts, brightg
ens the whole like a line of sunshine
-streaming through November clouds.
. Doris; the charming girl of the story,
;unlike‘the other characters presented,
stands not up .21' the solid ground of
historical fact, but upon the gleaming
crests of the cloudland of the author’ s
fancy.
Our Mayor Alert. '
""“A‘t about" a““quarter " past one "this
morning atelephone message was sent
over. to our fige department from Dar-
ien urging that a fire engine be sent

threatened with destruction. Mayor
Keeler was called up who hurried to
the bridge and tried to get a team to
draw Phoenix engine: over there, but
none could be' 'found. Dann’ had the

THE ITATA 'SEIZED AGAIN.
Failure of n Reported: man of Her
Commander to Escape,
SAN DIEGO, 0111., July 10.—The penalty of
. $500 which the Treasury Department has
demanded of the steamer Itata for leav-.
ing p01 t without clearance papers has not
been paid yet, but will probably be paid
soon. Marshal Gard reeeized the Itata
yesterday and placed an officer in charge.
This act was necessary In connection with
the libel proceedings commenced by. the
United States District Attorney.
It is now understood here that attorneys
had advised Capts. Mauzen and Tejeda to
pay the fine at once, get the vessel re-
leased from the custody of the customs
officers, and before Marshal Gard could
reseize the Itata, to get out of San Diego
Harbor as fast as steam would carry her.
Upon receiving this advice, it is reported
that Mauzen returned from Los Angeles,
and telegraphed to Tejeda, who returned
at once. Meantime, Mauzen and the other
officers of the Itata had returned to the
vessel.
lowed ashore. . '1
At 10 :30 yesterday morn ,howevcr,
Marshal Gard. and a de y stepped
aboard the Itata. and seized the vessel for
violation of the neutrality laws and car-
rying oli United States officers. Mauzen
is said to have been crestfallen upon the
appearance of the Marshal, and awaited
Tejeda, who hastened to the ship immedi-
ately upon the arrival of the train, and
held a consultation with Mauzen. No
‘ further steps were taken in regard to
leaving the harbor. Had the Itata got
away before the reseizure, much delay
would probably have resulted before the
Charleston could get under way to chase
her again, and by that time the _Itata pos-
sibly could have escaped.
Los ANGELES, 09.1., July 10.—District-
Attorney Cole has filed a libel against the
steamer Itata before Judge Ross of the
United States Court, who ordered a moni-
tion and warrant of arrest issued return-
able on Monday next. The libel is for vio—
lation of the neutrality laws in getting out
the Itata. as a war vessel at San Clement
Island, May 6, to cruise against the re-
public of Chili.

WASHINGTON. July 10 .——In an interview
with Minister Frei Douglass, concerning
Haytian affairs, he said: .
“It. must be noted that- Port-au-Pf'inc‘e,
the capital of Hayti, was never cordial to
the Hyppolite Government, and he has
:‘had. much occasion to doubt the loyalty of
Its people. They were adherent to Presi-
' dent Legitime, and It is evident that the
sentiment in favor of this exiled function—
.ary.has grown stronger «rather ~.t-;:a-:r--less
strong with a year and a half of the pres-
ent Government. Aware . of. this, Presi-
-dent Hyppolite has‘ been vigilant
in observing and diligent in pro-
viding for emergencies. He has on
_ l marked occasions in" his Speeches
iV'r i (led the people of Port-au-Prince
t at he knew not only of their adv‘e s1
Sentiments, but of the freedom with whic; 1
those sentiments Were being expressed.
He warned them in emphatic language
that should their sentiments culminate in
acts and in breaking the peace he should
resort to very stringent measures, assur-
ing all of protection to peace and good
order while the people kept themselves
.within just limits of the law, but that he
.w0uld suppress with an iron hand any
violence on their part.

one hair's breadth of deference more to a
white man than to a colored man. ' In-
