GENERAL cAMpos TALKS.
Considers the Spanish Government
Justified in Removing Him, and
Denies That Gen. Weyler is
Cruel.

NEW YORK, March 5,-A special to
the World from Madrid says:
Marshal Campos was seen by the
World correspondent. The general,
who had just got out of bed, was look
ing remarkably well. He began the con-
versation himself, asking in frank,
soldierly, energetic manner that your
correspondent give prominence to these
points:
First" he said, II deny that there
is any foundation for the reports of
cruelties in General Weyler's past his
tory He was simply a field officer in
the last Cuban Instruction, carrying
out, like all others, the orders of his
chief, Count Balmaseda who had or
dered reprisals because the insurgents
had committed atrocities. People ought
not to be alarmed at the terrifying
proclamations of Weyler, threatening
penalties that are practically impossible
of execution and only intended to ouelI
the spirit of disaffectfon. So far no
body has been shot or executed.
Second, have no grudge against
the Canovas government. 1t was per-
fectly justified in recalling me after the
failure of my military and political
plans, and [ admit l was no longer in
=,
Third, I believe the war is likely to
last couple of years, but despite the
staying powers of the insurgents it is
impossible for them to succeed alone.
even if they do wear out the armies
and resources of Spain by desultory,
guerrilla warfare, favored by the eli
matte conditions of the country.
Fourth. as regards the colonial re-
forms which before / went to Cuba L
thought to be carried out, because it is
political to fulfill promises, and which
at first believed might have helped to
stop the developments of the insurrec-
ton, together with my own concilia-
tory policy. AS I was only a general in
command of the forces [ could not
take the initiative if I received no in
structions from the home government.
Soon, moreover, circumstances led me
to see that even the colonial parties and
some autonomists in Cuba themselves
doubted the expediency of the reforms.
l think it is now rather late to attempt
such palliatives and the sword must
first crush the instruction before home
rule is possible.
Fifth, Cubans attach much import
ance to administrative economical re-
forms, which are easier to propose than
to accomplish.
Sixth I decline to offer an opinion
on the advisability of meeting them
half way before recognition of beIJieer-
ency, which admit would emboiden
these insurgents and increase the dim
culties''

miscellaneous RilIs.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Senator
Gallinger. chairman of the pensions
committee, today introduced into the
senate several bills bearing upon the
pension laws. One of these provides
that upon the consideration of the ap-
plication for a pension under the pen
sion laws the fact the applicant was
accepted and mustered into Eervice
shall be accepted as satisfactory proof
that he was of sound body and mind.
OF the other bills, one empowers fourth
class poStmasters to administer oaths
to pensioners; one that in pension cases
the oath of a private shall have equal
weight with the oath of an officer; one
that the failure of a soldier to receive
an honorable discharge, providing there
IS no charge of desertion against him,
shall not be a bar to the granting Of a
pension to his widow or those depend
ent upon him, in case of his death.

reports of the battle of Adowa. The agi-
tation this evening is as threatening as
ever, and during the course of the evening
the rioters smashed numerous windows.
Excited crowds are parading the streets
and the police havs great difficulty in dis
persing them. as is shown by the reports
of many conflicts that have occurred. A
large number of arrests have been made
The public apprehension of the trouble is
indicated by the number of shops that
have closed for fear of the damage that
would result to them from an outbreak
OF disturbances. The troops are also still
confined to their barracks. The utmost
efforts of the police and soldiers TO dis
perse the mob, which has had POSSESSION
all day of the Plaza Corona, in front OF
the chamber of deputies, have proven TO
be futile up to . o'clock tonight, and at
that time the cries of derision and dis
approval OF the government of Premier
Crispi and of the commanders IN AFRICA
were still being kept up by the parading
crowds. A report found currency for a
time that the missing brigade of General
Dabormida had in fact reached the head
quarters of the Italian army in Africa
but the report was later ascertained to
be unfOunded.

smallpox Adds to the Horrors of
Intestine War.

NEW YORK, March "A Herald
dispatch from Havana says:
Smallpox has been added to the hor-
rors existing in Cuba, according to a
communication received by Surgeon
General Wyman OF the Marine hospital
service from D. Caminero at Santiago.
In his report DR.. Caminero says: "A
general order has been issued by the
authorities to all the practicing ply
sicians of the town to report any case
of smallpox presenting itself for the
purpose Of sending any such case to a.
smallpox hospital, provided by the mu-
nicipality outside of the city limits,
but this measure WI mot prevent, in
my judgment, the. Development of the
terrible disease if it should further ap-
pear among us.
mo quarantine is enforced upon the
coasting steamers coming from the
port of Manzanillo, where smallpox is
epidemic, and most likely some 'passen-
gers will arrive with the disease in it's
period of incubation, which later on
will develop into a more or less malig-
nant form of smallpox. yellow fever
seems stationary, and as the troops are
now in active operation in the field,
those taken with it are carried to the
provincial hospitals esta blished in the
surrounding country"

MARSHALL'S NEW MARCH.
Tt is Named After the State Journal
and is a Hummer.


John Marshall. whose enterprise and
push has made a Topeka band the
greatest amateur band on earth,-ac-
knowledged so by Gilmore, Sousa and
Liberati-has written march and
named it for one of his bands best
friends-this paper.
st is called the Topeka State Jour
nal March and it is probably the very
best one he has ever written. 1t viii

first concert programme Of the sum

dissipates valuable time in hunting for
words that sound alike heard the
march at the rehearsal yesterday af-
ternoon and this is what he did to it;
Have YOU heard the new state Jour
nal March2"
OF course you haven't yet,
It'll be played first next Sunday,
And it's all right, you bet.
John Marshall heard the birds sing.
Heard Niagara mighty roars
He heard the crash of thunders
And saw the eagle soar;
He saw the lightning flash across
Sl1y's grand ethereal arch;
And he put it all to music
As the new "State Journal March"
There's a boom-boOm for the big drum.
And pOm-pom for the bass,
A hump-ta for the alto
Till he gets red in the face.
There's a tweed-lee for the piccoIo,
And a clarionetic shriek,-
Oh it's music you can march to
Till your knees grow wobbly weak.
It's better'n any medicine,
And that's no empty talk:
There's no liniment cam touch it
TIA make a cripple walk
There's a rat-tat for the snare drums
And a dada for trombones.
And the cornet's happywarble
Mixes with the saxophones.
But John bravely stands before 'em
And swings his stick on high
And the music just wells upward
Till it agitates the sky

We've been proud of NIarshan's band;
But this march has heaped upon US

DEFICIT 925.OOO.OOO.
Opinions of Treasury Officials on the
Years Showing.

Washington April 27.-The treasury
deficit for the present fiscal year will
be approximately $4,000, 600. This is
the opinion of officials and others best
qualified to make an Intelligent esti-
mate of the result of the fiscal opera
tiOns for the year In his annual esti-
mates sent to congress at the beginning
of the present session. the secretary of
the treasury estimated the receipts
from customs during the fiscal year at
SIP 00O, 600. So far. with nearly ten
months of the year gone, the customs
receipts have reached about S137 ,C00,
600. with a fair prospect of increasing
to S165, 900 600 by the close of the year.
The estimate of the receipts from in
ternaI revenue sources was S158, 900 600
UP to this time they have reached
S120 900 600 and it is expected the fig
ures for the completed year viii be
about S146,00O,000. The receipts from
miscellaneous sources are expected to
slightly exceed the estimate of Sl5,C00
goo, making the total receipts for the
year 1927 ,0e0, 000 The secretary's esti-
mate of the years expenditures was
1852 600 00O which according to his Zig
ures would leave a deficiency of S17.-
O00. 900 The actual expenditures, how
ever. it is now thought. viii aggregate
about $685.. 600 600, or s10O0 600 less than
Mr.. Carlise's estimate in December last

is believed, viii not show any very ma

WHAT THOSE ROBES MEANT
Explanation of the Gorgeous Costumes
Worn by the Odd Fellows.

Few demonstrations of secret orders
excited the general attention and inter
est of the Topeka public to such an ex-
tent as did the parade OF the ODD Eel
lows in honor and comm emmoration of
the seventy anniversary of
the order Saturday afternoon, Of which
the Journal was at the time unable TO
give extended notice. over 400 members
of the Topeka lodges, cOstumed in the
robes of their rituaiStlc work, par
ticipated in the parade, and made
showing which has never been outclass-
ed by any secret order in this city. 1t
was a beautiful sight.
w. z. Brubaker, as chief marshal,
was in command. and the divisions
were in charge af assistant marshals
r. T. Paddy, VIM Bickels, A A. Pen
we'll and r. A. Randlett. The following
lodges were in line; Topeka lodge No.
40 Eugene lodge No. 70, Capital lodge
No 3s2, shawnee lodge No l. and
NOrthcraft lodge No 228 These were
followed by the Rebelah lodges in car
riages as follows; Naomi No 95 Har-
mony No. 81, CapitOla No. 219 and Nom
arch No 395.
The costumes and robes worn by the
paraders~ We're those worn in degree
work in the lodge room. Foremost in
the order of march were the MuscO-
vites or Kremlin odessa, the highest
craft OF Odd Fellowship The charact-
ers and costumes of the Kremlin Odessa
are those of the Russian court. and in
the parade the court officials, from che
eTmfne IODeQ car TO the LuIlceQ COQI-
ier were presented.
In the enCampment, canton and sub
ordinate lodges the degree work is
emblamatic of deeds recorded in both
the Old and New Testaments, so in the
parade the Jewish high priests. the lie
vites, Jonathan and David, the Good
Samaritan, the innkeejer, the robbers
and a number of similar characters
We're presented. Each character has a
place in the ritual of degree work and
the costumes worn are supposed to rep
resent the character Each nation has
also a representative.
This form is also carried out in the
Rebekah lodges, the characters being
taken from the women of the Old and
New Testament. Thus in the parade
Queen Esther, Judith, Rebekah and
other Biblical characters had their rep
resentatives.
The celebration Saturday afternoon
was the first occasion on which the full
costumes of the lodge room were used,
there having been a question as to
whether such would be proper. The
matter was taken up by the officials of
the order in this city, and on thorough
investigation it was found that there
was no law prohibiting the wearing of
the costumes on anniversary demon
stratiOns. 1T is therefore the intention
Of the order on all future occasions to
appear cOstumed as In the parade of
Saturday afternoon.
1t is sight that the people of Tope-
ka greatly enjoyed and which they are
grateful to the Odd Fellows for prOvid-
