Filipinos Seem to Have Had Enough
and Many Return Home.
CHEERING NEWS FROM GEN. OTIS.

cm tlm Outlook In the Phil
ippine Iftlnntln.
Manila, April 4. The natives con
tinue returning' to their homes. They
urccoinliitf in nil along the American
lines and many of them, seeing the
promises of good treatment aro ful
filled, are Inducing tiieir relatives to
return to their homes. Maj. Gen. El
well S. Otis, commander of tho Ameri
can militury forces, has received the
following message: "Hearty con
gratulations on the most magnificent
work of the army. Dewey."
The United States Philippine com
mission (the lost member of that body,
Col. Charles Donby, former minister to
China, having arrived here) will dis
cuss tho situation. The commission
ers are hopeful of a speedy restoration
of peace, believing hostilities will
soon be confined to the habitual revo
lutionists. Iirig. Gen. Harrison Gray Otis sails
for homo on board the United States
transport Sherman to-day. He says
he believes tho insurrection has re
ceived its deathblow.
The Sherman will also have on
board the sons of Col. John Hay, secre
tary of state, and Senator Hale, of
Maine, who have witnessed much of
the lighting with tho army, and the
bodies of Col. Harry C. Egbert, of the
Twenty-second infantry, killed on
March 20, and other ofllcers who have
recently fallen in battle. Gen.Whcaton
has assumed command of the brigade
lately commanded by Qcn. Otis. The
Third and Twenty-second regiments
of Gen. Wheaton's command arc re
turning to this city.
CHICI-.llING NKWS FIIOM OV.S. OTI3.
Washington, April 4. The follow
ing cablegram was received at the
war department curly ycbterday mora
ing:
Munlln, April 3 Adjutant Qsucrnl. Wash
ington: Present Indications denotes insurant
government In perilous condition; Its army de
feated, discoursed nnd hoiittoreil. Insurgents
returning to their homes In cities and vlllngcs
between hero and points north of Malolos,
which our reconnnltorlng parties havo reached
and deslro protection of Americans. News
from Vlsayan Island more encouraging every
dav. Otis.
War department officials wore pleased
by tho cheering dibpatch from Gen.
Otis. It contains a great deal of en
couragement to them, and those who
know Gen. Otis well say he is not a
man to take a roseate view of tho situa
tion unless there is reason for it. It
i is argued at the department that tho
Filipinos havo never been used to the
kind of warfare that tho Americans
have given them, and for that reason
they are now aware that it will be im
possible for them to accomplish any
thing by fighting. While there is dis
appointment because the movement
for the capture of a largo force of tho
Filipinos was not successful, it is be
lieved the pressing of tho insurgents
steadily toward tho north, capturing
their capital and driving them from
place to place has had a very discour
aging elfect upon tho natives who havo
been following Aguinaldo.
CANNOT LOCATk'tIIE ENI3MV.
Manila, April 4. Repeated efforts to
locate tho insurgent army in front of
Malolos havo been unsuccessful and
our forces are therefore still resting
in the former Filipino capital. Tho
attack on the forces under Gen. nail
at Mariquina suggests that the enemy
is concentrating in that direction.
Col. Denby's arrival makes tho early
issue of tho proclamation of the Phil
ippine commission probable.
GKN. MKIUUTT ON THE OUTLOOK.
New York, April 4. Maj. Gen. Wes
ley Merritt, in an interview, said:
The nows from Manila Is satisfactory. Agui
naldo does not soum to know when hu Is
whipped If ho should ho captured ho would
bo treated as a prisoner of war. Thoro will bo
no cruol mciimiros. Do I look for prolonged
lighting!1 No; tho Filipinos aro not prepared
mt for that sort of thing. Wo shall not have a
repetition of our American Indian experiences
Mn tho northwest.

tho Wichita business men applied so
hard for one place on the court that

NEGLECTED HEART - CHANCES.
The Denrewt IHon.iIiikh of Life Are
Sometime Uiiitiiprc-
clntuit.
A young man was sitting in the
hotel' olllce, looking dreamily and
drearily out of n window. The clerk,
who had nothing else to do just then,
came nnd pat down by him, to "cheer
him up" a little; for it is part of n good
hotel man's business to keep his guests
happy and contented, so they will stay
longer.
"Thinking up some new scheme to
ninke money, I'll be bound, lloberts,"
he ventured, looking quizzically at the
j outh. "Or about some new 'best. girl.'
Or"
"Or on wlint a caricature on Home
even u first-class hotel like this one is,"
interrupted the young man.
The clerk looked thoughtful. lie
knew by experience that the other was
right,
"You see," continued the gucsU "I'd
give $500 to go home and spend the
night. I iy '.?."i00,' becnuse that's n'l
I'm worth as yet. If it was 10.0CO, I'd
give it, all the kuup,
"And I'm wondering why it was that
I didn't, stay there more when I could
do it for nothing. Father and mother
n I ways- used to sny: 'You're going to
stay home to-night, aren't you?' nnd
I'd answer: 'Oh, no; I've got to go to'
this, that or the other. And-then I'd
be out maybe till midnight, or later,
and act a little cross at- breakfast in the
morning."
"Hut of course no one can expect a
young fellow to be tied at home all
through his merriest tune of life," an
swered the clerk.
"That's what father used to say," re
joined the guest: "When mother's
eyes would moisten a little because I
wns going out, he would say, laughing
ly, but T thought a little regretfully:
'We can't put our old heads on young
shoulders, wife.' And Ihat was true.
Hut. the trouble is, I did not realize that
my head was going to get older so
soon."
"Well, you say you'd give $."00 to
drop in there again," ventured the
hotel clerk, who began to pity the
young man to a degree entirely incon
sistent with the hotel's interest. "It
won't cost you anywhere near that
sum to go there. Why not pay 'the old
folks' a visit?"
"Alns!" replied the young man,
"there are now no 'old folks' and no
home to visit. All are gone. And hun
dreds of times I could have done so
easily what I would now give half of
my life to do just once." And he rose
and went, out of the room.
"We must 'live and learn,'" thought
the hotel clerk, as he went back to his
desk, "but the trouble is, we don't al
ways learn soon enough." Will Carle

An Orthodox Donkey.
The ecclesiastical functions of rural
deans had fallen into almost entire dis
use prior to the Trnetarian movement.
The revival of their ancient authority
after 1850 led to the telling of many
stories anent their newly exercised du
ties. One of the stories Hicks used to
tell was of the visit of a rural dean to
lllisland, and of his interviewing the
parish elerk in Uie absence of the rec
tor. The rural dean expressed to the
clerk his. disapproval of the donkey's
being allowed to graze in the church
yard. The clerk, eager to defend his
absent rector, burst out: "Ain't un a
religious baste? Why, that er be, and
no chapel haute neither. Maister sent
un last week to the smithy, and the man
who shood un was a dissenter, and he
kicked un sure enough. Maister
wouldn't hold with sich nonsense."

HPHE pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well-known remedy, Syrup op Figs, manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Company, illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxative principles
of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the tustc
and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxative,
CLEANSING THE SYSTEM EFFECTUALLY, DISPELLING
COLDS AND HEADACHES, PREVENTING FEVERS,
OVERCOMING HABITUAL CONSTIPATION PERMANENTLY
Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and substance, and its acting on the kidneys,,'
liver and bowels, gently yet promptly, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative,.
In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they arc pleasant to the taste, but
THE MEDICINAL QUALITIES ARE OBTAINED FROM SENNA AND OTHER AROMATIC PLANTS,
by a method known to the California Fig Syrup Company only. In order to get its beneficial effects, and
to avoid imitations, please remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of every package.
Consumers of the choicest products of modern commerce purchase at about the same price that others
pay for cheap and worthless imitations. To come into universal demand and to be everywhere considered
the best of its class, an article must be capable of satisfying the wants and tastes of the best informed
purchasers. The California Fig Syrup Company having met with the highest success in the manufacture
and sale of its excellent liquid laxative remedy, Syuup ok Figs, it has become important to all to have a
knowledge of the Company and its product. The California Fig Syrup Company was organized more than,
fifteen years ago, for the special purpose of manufacturing and selling a laxative remedy which would be
more pleasant to the taste and more beneficial in effect than any other known. The great value of the
remedy, as a medicinal agent and of the Company's efforts, is attested by the sale of millions of bottles
annually, and by the high approval of most eminent physicians. As the true and genuine remedy named
Syrup op Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company only, the knowledge of that fact
will assist in avoiding the worthless imitations nuinufactured by other parties.
