TIE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA Fro SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP CO.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the mcdi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as 1t acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nanscate. In order to get it's beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

Should he be clothed with authority
to use the military and naval forces to
intervene solely for the purpose Of es-
tablisling peace and order In Cubn,
the President proposes to exercise 1t
first by transmitting to Spain n copy of
the resolution, with the statement that
his obligations require him to carry out
the will of Congress and notification
that he will do so at once unless Spain
withdraws from the island.
In other words. the President will
deliver an ultimatum to Spain before
making the naval demonstration, in the
hope that Spain may at the last mo-
mcnt consent to n concession Of the In
dependence OF the people of that island
and upon an indemnity or some other
basis which may be satisfactory to nll
parties involved. If war should then
come, whether "holy" or "unholy," lie
will feel that the responsibility is on
Spain.

-aration OF war was talked of, ana
declaration that the people of Cuba
should be free. coupled with authoriza-
tion to the president to bring this about
by armed Intervention, was suggested.
1t Is well known that any proposition
advanced will be met in the Senate
with an amendment declaring the in
dependence of the present Cuban gov
ernment, and to frame n resolution so
as to carry the majority Of the Senate
and at the same time meet the recon-
mendations of the President, Is the
result which the foreign relations COM
mittee Is trying to secure.
The conservative senators met in the
afternoon and determined to oppose
any radical measure IL 1t should be re-
ported by the Senate committee on for
eign relations. They will oppose by
debate recognition of independence
Of the present government and n dec

concentrations of the President as to

gle.

Washington, April 1.-THE Presi-
dents message did not after the first
reading receive the Endorsement of a
majority Of the senators, and many
excused themselves from speaking
about 1t until they could have time for
careful perusal. In general way the
objections were based on the ground
that 1t did not go far enough In recog-
nlzing the rights of the Cubans. The
senator's who have been especially no.
ted for their conservatism were
pleased, but they were the exception
to the rule, and many of those sena-
tors who had in the past few days
shown a disposition to slacken their
opposition to n conservative course ap.
peared to be disposed to return to their
original positions. A large number OF
the Democratic senators refused to ex.
press themselves ut all, as did several
Republicans, on the ground that as
they could not speak complimentary
terms they would say nothing at all.

Kingston, Jamaica. April 11.-An
agent OF the Cuban government arrived

Friday by the Brooklyn. According to
ndvices from Santiago de Cuba, small
engagements are of daily occurrence
in the country along the river Cauto
General Pando and 1900 Spaniards are
operating near Bayamo, where the in
surgcnts have them practically sur

the Brooklyn declare that the opern-
lions must be active, because for the
last two weeks wagons loaded with
wounded and sick have entered the city
daily from the field.

a No message in recent years. not even

which will secure the solid support Of
the Republican organization, and the
Republican majority OF the House. To
this end the Republican members Of
the House, to whom the message was
referred, were In conference during the
day and night.
Now that Congress has the response
bility upon 1t, 1t is the Presidents sim
cere hope that 1t will weigh every
phase Of the question as carefully as
he has done, and that when 1t does act
1t will be for forcible Intervention and
not in the form Of direct declaration
Of war.

should be nm ignomlnious failure than

BIG COUNTY SEAT FIGHT.
Battle Between Springer and Ration stlil
Being Wagcd.

Denver, April 0.-A special from
Springer to the Republican says: The
county seat fight assumed another u.s.
pcct this week. The board Of county
commissioners were to meet for the
auditing OF the quarters accounts.
Monday the 4th, but there wns hitch
md proceedings blocked. The chair.
man of the board and clerk contend
that the board. according to the law
removing county seats, passed by the
last Legislature. shall meet mt the old
county seat until available quarters
are provided for them the same as for
other courts or things within and for
the county. The two other members
contend that the commissioners shall
meet Mt the new county sent and hence
did not show up here Monday.
The district attorney drew up his
opinion in writing and presented 1t to
the clerk. In It lie says that the COM
missioncrs shall meet Mt Springer un-
til suitable buildings are erected for
that purpose. which means plainly
when the court house is built. The
fight is now down to point where the
best legal talent to he found In New
York is employed by both Springer
and Ration people and II will not be
settled this side OF the United States
Supreme court. This evening no meet
ing of the board has yet been held.

tative body of the American people.
What course the elected men compos-
ing 1t will pursue cannot be foretold
tonight. The foreign committees Of
both houses now have the subject in
their control. and, nfter due delibera-
tlon, Will report to their respective
branches what they consider should be
the attitude of the United States on
the grave question presented. Early
action by the committee is expected,
but exactly when 1t may be looked for
