EUROPEAN JUNTA CONFERS
One Member Starts for Spain on AL
legged Mission of Treating for
Spanish Prisoners Release.

. LONDON, March 27.-Losado, the Filipino
delegate, has gone to Paris to meet Agon-
clio, Aguinados agent, who is expected in
London shortly.
The Filipino, who was chief of the
European junta during Agoncllo's absence
in America, suddenly started on Saturday
for Spain by way of Paris. Unofficial Fill
plnos here assert that he is going to Seville
on private business and that he will return
on April 16. They admit, however, that he
will confer at Paris with Agoncillo, who is
said to have been in telegraphic communica-
ton with Agu!naldo in order to get the latter
to appoint a delegate to go to Madrid on a
mission connected with the Spanish prison
ers in the hands of the Filipinos 1t is
therefore thought probable that Agoncillo
has instructed The delegate to proceed to
Madrid. --s
The Filipinos here assert that peace was in
sight before the recent fighting, but that
now Major General Otis will not treat for
peace until Malolos, the, Filipino head
quarters, is taken.
No Filipino accounts Of the recent fight
ing have been received and they are not
expected for some days to come.

Mr.. LEWIS LINE ON CAMPAIGN
Mckinley and Roosevelt for Rcpub-
licnns and Bryan ana Schlcy
for the Democrats.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 27.-Congressman
James Hamilton Lewis of Washington passed
through Atlanta today on his way home from
Havana. Mr. Lewis says he believes the re-
publicans will put up Mckinley and Roose-
welt at the next campaign and the demo-
cratic ticket, he thinks, will read Bryan
and Schley." For Chairman of the nationaf
republican committee MIR. Lewis believes
Mark Hanna Is slated, while Senator Cor
man will fill like position for the demo-
Gratis In explaining his "ling-ups," MIR.
Lewis said:
You will find that the republicans will
not nominate MIR. Hobart because they can
make a stronger nomination of course, the
fact that the antitrust fight will be partcu
latly prominent in the coming campaign
makes him rather vulnerable, for most of the
trusts have been incorporated under the New
Jersey law, for which the republican party
of that state is responsible, and the line to
Hobart is direct, but that is not the choicest
of the reasons for looking elsewhere for vice
presidential timber. The republicans see
that there is wholesale expansion and they
figure out that unless they have the active
assistance of some war hero they will be in
bad fix. Naturally, they turn to Roosevelt,
who is certainly the best man they could
take
Roosevelt would undoubtedly add strength
to the ticket" continued Co.onel Lewis, LAS
to the democratic ticket | figure it out this
way: There has been an effort to make it
appear that Mr.. German has been fighting
Bryan in order to get the nOmiuation for
himself. He has not had that idea, for he
knows he could not possibly be nominated,
but he is still, and will always be, an active
factor in the management of democratic
affairs and when the time comes to consider
the question of vice presidential uominee
he will day: We must have a war hero.
There is Schley, for whom the people of the
country have great love The people know
that Schley was in the great battle of San
tiago and that he was in technical command
there. His nomination would tend TO unite
all democratic elements and l believe if he
is nominated he would prove a tower of
strength They also believe that German
would under those circumstances accept the
craftsmanship of the natioual committee"

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Fte 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 acceptable TO the system. II
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system eifectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fcvcrs
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make It the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
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 method
known to the CALIFORNIA FlG SYRUP
