KILLING OUR BOYS.
Somebody Ought to Pull the Ear
of the Secretary of War.

The following editorial with reference
to Camp Merritt and the Twentieth
Kansas regiment appeared in the San
Francisco Call of July II:
For a time most of the papers of the
city, convinced that Camp Merritt was
detrimental alike to the health of sol
dier and civilian, protested against it's
existence, but to no avail. The strug-
gle was given up because 1t appeared
that some influence, never strictly de-
fined wanted the camp to remain. There
never was in the first place, any ex-
cuse for the camp. From every point
of view it has been from the beginning
an aff1iction. Now it is positively unfit
for human habitation. Out in the Pre-
sfdio are hundreds of unoccupied acres
admirably adapted to the use of sold
iers. Why are they not utilized? I do
not know, but in the present arrange
ment there is shameless job. Out of
the Kansas regiment alone six men
have died. The colonel begged to be
allowed to go to the Preside, and the
request was refused The New York
men arrived smelIed the situation
over, and demanded to be given
a place on the reservation. They
got it. The New Workers have more
money than the Kansans. They came
here with a pull strong that the rep
utatiOn of it preceded them. But in
patriotism the Kansan is the equal Of
the New Yorker, to his country his life
is as valuable. The distinction made
between them is nothing but an exhi-
bition of red tape. Technically, the
New Yorker belongs to the department
of California, and the Kansan to the
Philippine expeditionary forces. In
reality they are both soldiers who have
volunteered to serve their country, and
it is not fair that either should be OBJ
liged to take up quarters on the reek-
ing sands of Camp Merritt. Their lives
are their country's, but this gives the
country no excuse for throwing them
away. Camp Merritt should be abol-
ished, not when the last fleet has sailed
for the islands. but today."

FOR ANNEXATION.
Porto Rico Junta PrOnOunces
in Favor of 1t.

New York, July 22-senor P. De Castro
one of the prominent members of the
Porto Rican junta of this city, when ask
ed as to the attitude of the Junta, said:
When the junta was organized we were
pledged to secure the independence of the
island. That was more than two years
ago. Such a thing annexation was not
discussed, because Spain was not at war
with America. Since this war, however,
all our people are with America. At a
the United States unconditionally. The
majority of us are in favor of annexation.
Any talk of the revolutionary party of
Porto Rico resisting the invasion of the
Americans is nonsense. I was at the meet
ing held July Il in this city, and never
heard such a threat.
I have grave doubts of ability to
make a republic of Porto Rico. meaning,
as it does. an internal strife: but annexa-
tiOn would be successful. The majority
Of the Porto Ricans in this country are
heartily in favor of it. There are some

DAY CARNIVAL.
Abolish the Night ReveI Of Fes-
tiVal Friday
And Let the Maskers' Parade
Take Place in Daylight.
TOO GREAT A RISK
And Too Great a Strain on Pre-
servers of Order
To Hold the Carnival After
Dark.

It has been suggested that the Kar-
nivaI knights hold their carnival on
the afternoon of Friday, September 80
instead of in the evening.
Experience has shown that a certain
amount of rowdyism cannot be elimin-
ated from the carnivals held after dark
and also that the costumes do not show
to such advantage after night as they
would in the day light.
The suggestion is that the Karnival
knights parade follow Immediately af-
ter the Flower parade on Friday after
noon and end at or o'clock. The
carnival of the Mardi Gras is held in
the afternoon and the Battle of Flow
ers at Colorado Springs is also a day
time affair
The KarnivaI parade of last year lost
most Of its splendor from the fact that
not enough light could be thrown upon
the floats to make all the different
points distinct, and this, after nearly
$1,000 was spent on lighting the streets.
Every carnival has had the objection,
when held after nightfaII, that depreda-
tions and offences were committed that
could not be suppressed. 1t is true.
No matter what precautions are taken,
there is always disorder. All who take

GARCIA is NOT DEAD
Assures His COuntrymen OF
Protection While at Work.

Santiago de Cuba, July 22.-The
French cruiser Rigault de Genouilly ar
rived here yesterday afternoon with
supplies for the relief of the French
citizens of Santiago.
A large exodus of Cubans is expected
during the next few days, as they are
returning TO the cultivation of the coun-
try, that work being the chief source of
the wealth of the island
The greater part of Garcia's army left
here at daybreak.
The Danish steamer Bratton. the first
vessel outside Of the government and
Red Cross ships to enter this port, with
provisions, arrived here at O'Clock this
morning having on board A Azovodo
the owner of her cargo, who went to
Gen. Skaters headquarters in order to
inquire about the customs duties. He
was told he must pay full duty on for
eign produce under a foreign flag. at
the rates in force under the Spanish
regime. This brings duty on the Brat
tons flour to "a, plus 10 per cent per
barrel and the duty on the other goods
IS IN proportion. 1t is not known
whether a bounty will be allowed on
American bottoms, Gen. Shafter for the
present limiting himself to the state
ment that the duties will be assessed on
the same basis as the Spanish tariff
Notwithstanding Gen. Garcia's bitter
that the restoration of the Spanish civil
authority in the city of Santiago was
most offensive to him and that in con-
sequence of this he had been forced to
tender his resignation as a general in
the Cuban army, he is going on with his
preparations for contest with the
Spanish forces at HOlguin and Manza-
milo quite as though nothing had hap
pened.
Tomorrow Gen. Garcia will issue a
decree authorizing all Cubans who have
been driven from their plantations and
country homes by the Spaniards and
who have taken refuge for safety in
the cities and towns to return to the
country and go to work on their farms
and plantations assuring them of pro-
lection by his forces. He has added
like permission to those in his ranks.
who were recruited from the farm
lands and who were. employed in the
fields at the outbreak of the war
Altogether it must be confessed that
Gen. Garcia's attitude is inexphcable.
His permission to the men in his rank
to go back to work on the farms is
construed to mean an effort to disband
his forces. But this may not be alto
gether justified. It is certain that
great many of them will continue to
fight

Topeka Daily State Journal 1887
Topeka Sunday Capital. $500

The Topeka Daily State Journal not
only has a larger circulation than the
Daily Capital, but it exceeds that of the
Sunday Capital.
The above figures showing the State
Journals daily average for the month
of June, 1898. are taken from sworn
detailed statement made before A. A.
Majors, notary public, July Is, 1898
The above figures showing the To-
peka Sunday Capitals average for June,
1898, are from Topeka Capital adver-
tisement in Printers Ink of New York,
July 20, 1898.
The State Journal requires news
dealers to buy their papers outright
The Capital sends news dealers papers
on consignment, permitting them to re-
turn unsOld copies.
Advertisers should not be deceived by
F'PostOffice Figures" which take no ac-
count of any dailies circulated in To-
peka or Shawnee county, nor OF any
copies sent by express.
The above statements are plain facts
and do not seek to pull the wool over
any ones eyes.
1t is a favorite plan of papers who
are afraid to publish their actual cir
cuIation figures at home to mystify the
public by running in big black type
something about postage.
These pOStOffice statistics are care
full to give no figures about the Sepa-
rate editions, daily, Sunday and semi
weekly. The general public does not
hide its own shortcomings in circula-
tion by the publication of mystifying
postofice figures.
Any one, too, who calls on Judge
Guthrie, postmaster, and asks him for
the amount of postage paid by the To-
peka Daily Capital and the Topeka
Daily State Journal will be told the
law does not permit him to divulge
such figures.
It costs postage to send out semi
weeklies. The State Journal is not in
the serni-weekly class 1t is running
a paper whose every day circulation IS
not equalled by any other daily or sun
day paper in Kansas.
The only way to tell your circulation
is to tell 1.-THE public does not care
about or understand postage plils-lL
wants to know the actual number of

ARBITRATION

Pana, ILL.,, July 22.-Severa1 unknown
non union miners were severely beaten
today while en- route to the shafts to re-
sumo work. Only two miners entered
Springside mine, they being escorted to
the mine by operators D. I. and COrwin
OverhOlt, with Winchesters, preventing
the union members interfering. One
nOn-uniOn miner named Henderson,
while en- route to Penweu mine was
intercepted and badly pounded. The
miners and their wives continue to sur
round the shafts. Deputies and police
also continue on guard.
Complications have arisen between
the aldermen and the mayor, owing to
Mayor Penwell one of the operators of
the Penwen mine, granting permission
to non-uniOn miners to carry reVOlvers
and guns.

kilograms, the latest of which without
boasting, simply reports, like the others
that have gone before, that affairs are
quiet and satisfactory. The state de-
partment has come to have fully as
great a sense of appreciation of Ad-
miral Dewey's diplomatic abilities as
the country as for his naval skill and
courage, and the best evidence of this
is that it has not found it necessary up
to this point to interfere in any way,
either to protect or to amend his works.
The navy department has now discOv-
cred that the big double turreted mon
itOr Monterey will not arrive at Cavite
until August 5; that being the advice
received at the department from the
captain of the vessel when she touched
at Honolulu.
The admiral's announcement of the
arrival of the second detachment of
United States troops at Cavite has Civ
en- great comfort to the war department
which was not altogether at ease con-
corning the first small expedition lying
between Spaniards and the insurgents.
With these added troops it will now be
possible to demand the surrender of
Manila, but it is gathered here that our
purpose is to defer such a movement
until all the United States troops now
