has been appealed to by Senator Vest
and others who have become acquaint-
I'd with the plan of the jingoes and
will attempt 10 exercise his authority
and use his influence as chairman of
the national committee against so rad
ical a departure from the previous
principles of the party without the ac-
tion Of n national convention. In nddi-
tion 90 the story that | told the other
day. Il is said that the plan is TO place
a plank Ia the Missouri platform that
win appeal TO the lingo sentiment of
both parties. not only declaring in
favor OF the removal of the Spanish
flag from the colonies in the Pacific,
but for the establishment of independ-
eut republican governments in the
Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico.
The plan is now. as | understand IL.
to oppose annexation and to demand
liberty and self-goveFnment for the en-
shaved people OF the islands named.
This Is intended not only to go be-
yond the purposes OF the President In
treating for peace with Spain, but 10
emharrass him In the negotiations by
developing sentiment against the an

tlon OF Spanish sovereignty in the Pa

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is

all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par

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

He Asks That His Troops May March
Through Manila After 1t Is Captured
-Resents American Aspersions

New York, Aug. 5.--A journal spe-
ciai from Manila. dated July Both,
says:
Aguinnldo. the insurgent chief. is
becoming more friendly TO the Ameri-
cans.
He has made two propositions TO
General Merritt which may solve the
insurgent problem In manner highly
advantageous to the United States.
In the first place he asks :he COM
mander-in-cbief OF the American land
forces to permit the rebel troops to
march through the streets OF Manila
when the city surrenders.
General Merritt appears inclined to
consent 10 this II would gratify the
vanity Of the natives 10 let them in
lulge ia what VIII seem to them n
triumphant march as ylctors through
the capital city OF the enemy they
have been combating and besleging
since the whipping OF MonteJo's fleet
Al the same time the native troops
bs'irg thus nrTayed In line and under
direct orders. may be more easily con-
troiled and prevented from exeesses.
In the second place Aguinaldo sug
Ecsts the formation OF Philippine regl-
Inenis. with American officers This
Is considered highly important prop
ositi0n. a possible key to the whole
situation throughout the Islands.
The native troops would thus be
constantly under the eyes and direct
orders OF Our men.
The American troops now occupy
the trenches in front OF Malnte, a
suburb OF Manila. which were CON
structcd by AgUinaldo. The rebels
withdrew 20 let our men take their
places close to the Spanish lines. The
Astor battery, supported by battal-
Ion % the Third Infantry. Is now In
position nj the front. It's guns being
planted within a thousand yards OF
the spanish lines.
Fathers Dougherty and Nckinnon,
the former being on Merritt's staff,
have gone to Manila TO have an inter-
view with Archbishop Nozaleda Of the
archdiocese OF the Philippines. and TO
point out 10 him thc fntIlity Of resist
nuce 20 the American troops.
