THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

THE EXCEL LENCE 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 FIa 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 FIG SYRUP Co. only, knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless limitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the CALL FoRNIA Ere SYRUP Co. with the medi- 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 it's remedy.

 ON BOARD THE HERALD CALL DISPATCH BOAT ALBERT F. DEWEY, KEY WEST, Fla. April 26.-Havana is in wild state of appre- hension and dread. Bombardment from the American flee. has been ex- pected from day to day, and now the in- habitants of the panic stricken city have decided in their own minds that an ac- tive siege will not be delayed longer than daybreak tomorrow.
 Business has been practically sus pended ever since cable communication from the United States was cut off. The prices of provisions of all sorts were doubled on Saturday, and Monday morning found them again more than doubled.
 Many dealers are already refusing to sell except in most limited quantities, and agents of the army will probably take control of every grocery and pro- vision store in the city before the end of the week. Suffering among the poorer classes, more especially among those suspected of anti Spanish sentiment, is already something terrible. Those re- concentrates who were by order of General Weyler brought into the city. are now being driven into the country at the point of the bayonet, there to starve to death, as they are doing by the score A blockade of month will pro- duce results too terrible to contemplate.
 Foreigners Of all classes-and Span iards, too, for that matter-are clamor- ing for an opportunity to get out of the island Were there 100 neutral ships in Havana harbor tonight they could all leave tomorrow with full passenger lists.
 All this and much more was told me last night from the deck of the Eng lish vagrant steamer Luciline by John Rolfe, an Englishman, and until recently engineer of the floating dry dock in Ha- vana harbOr

 KINGSTON, Jamaica, April &C., General Garcia, commanding the Cuban forces in the eastern end of the island, is now in full possession of the United States military plan of campaign. He received his informa- tion from Lieutenant Rowan of the Nineteenth Infantry, who has sue ceeded in landing on the coast of Cuba and reaching the insurgent forces.
 Lieutenant Rowan was ordered by the Secret Service Bureau to 20 on secret mission in behalf of the War Department. It was at first thought that his destination was Porto Rico. Then definite orders were issued for him to proceed to Jamaica and thence cross to Cuba and endeavor to reach General Calixto Garcia's camp and communicate to the general the plans of the United States Government.
 He was also to ask the rebel leader to make arrangements for effecting junction of the insurgents in South eastern Cuba with probable Ameri can expedition.
