WASHINGTON NOTES.

SECRETARY LONG, of the navy depart
nent, sent letter to Capt. Coghlan, of
the Raleigh, reprimanding him for his
recent indiscreet talk about the Ger
mans at Manila.
ARMY and navy officials at Washing
ton on the 2Sth were of the opinion
that the end of the Filipino insurrec-
ton was IN sight in view of the cable
gram received from Cen Otis that
Aguina1do had requested a cessation
OF hostilities to allow the summoning
of the Filipino congress to decide upon
the question of asking for peace.
IT was stated at the war department
that Col. Funston would secure a brig
adler generals commission as a reward
for his services in the various engage
ments eliminating in his daring and
heroic feats on the 27th. 1t was also
stated that both Col. Funston and the
two men who crossed the river under
the fire of the Filipinos would secure
medals of honor.
SECRETARY ALGER, being asked
whether he will be a candidate before
the next Michigan legislature for
United States senator to succeed Sena-
tor Mcmillan, said he would enter into
no scramble for the Office, but would
be delighted to be SO honored. He said
Senator Mcmillan had assured him OF
his support.
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY issued a proc
lamation announcing that the new ex-
tradition treaty between the United
States and Mexico was now in force.
THERE was no official news received
at Washington on the 30th from Gen.
Otis at Manila. The American gener-
ais were ordered not to advance aggres-
sively while peace negotiations with
the Filipinos were on, but the Ameri-
cans were getting supplies and making
preparations for an advance in case the
negotiations should fall through.
THE war court of inquiry submitted
On the 29th it's report on the beef mat
ter to Acting Secretary of War Meikle-
john and he sealed the report and find
ings and sent them to the president at
the white house.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and :. cceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and levers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels. without weakening
or irritating them, make ii the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing fgs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities OF the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
