the islands we cannot now get away
even If we would.
The strong point which Senator
tion must be put down and the war
ended next year. He says the only
hope for his party and. for the country
is a speedy change of existing con-
ditions at Manila. Therefore he
favors sending more troops and ap-
proves what has been doae already
towards giving General Otis larger
army. If with this large army peace
cannot be brought about, then con-
gress will have the problem up for
settlement.
This is probably what will he done.
There will not be an aggressive cam.
paign until congress urges it. The
president seems to have hesitated
about sending Otis more men, presum-
ably because Otis has said that he did
not need any more. l. has become
evident, however, that the country
wants reinforcemenLs sent forward, no
matter what General Otis thinks. The
desire is widespread to have the in
surrection put down, and manifestly it
cannot be put down without large |
army. Otis may have 10000 men when |
the dry season opens in November,
but with that number he can accom-
plish little more than was done in the |
last campaign. TIE Filipinos will be |
scattered and chased from one point |
to another, but the back bone of the re-
bellion will not be broken.
When congress meets it is not un-
likely that it will make an investiga-
tion of the Philippine operations
during the past few months, and will
decide that more vigorous work must
be done. The people will not be
satisfied with another season of desul-
tory campaigning,which has resulted in
our controlling only small area of
adjacent to Manila. II we
are to fritter away lives, time and
money with little or nothing gained,
then we might as we'll get Out of the
Philippines at once. If, however, we
are to hold them, then the insurrec-
lion should be put bown sharply and
or all time. This is what congress
will insist upon when it meets. un.
ess the administration has already
begun the work in energetic fashion,

VIII Not Be Punished.


Col. Summers wrote Governor, Geer
in reference to the case of Frank Cir
ard as follows: There is no necessity
for any uneasiness in his case, as this
man was granted all the privileges
that were possible. and he will not be
disturbed. He has done exactly what
you or I, or any other soldier of metal
would haye done under the circum.
stances. and certainly would not be
disposed to treat the matter severely.
He will have to report here for final
muster-out. 1t is not the disposition
of the commanding officer of this regi-
ment to be severe with man who en-
deavors to act in obedience to good
impulses. he has done no more than
would have been done by any other
person, and is entitled to all possible
consideration. 1 will state further,
that the health of the regiment is
excellent now, and everything is nov
ing along splendidly."

Established.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-United
States Senator George c. Perkins has
just returned from Alaska. Speakin
OF the boundary dispute, the senate
said: y
II think the matter will be amicably
settled without arbitration. There Is
nothing to arbitrate. IL would be just
as reasonable for US to insist upon
taking up the old boundary question
between the. United States and Canada
again and declare our dissatisfaction
with the forty-ninth degree Of latitude.
England long ago recognized the
boundary for. which we are contending.
She did this when the Hudson Bay
Company (which was practically Cana
da at that time), executed lease for.10
years from Russia Of the territory she
is now contending for.
"This lease was renewed for sec
ond term, 30 what better proof could
any one ask of our ownership. These
lands which the Hudson Bay Company
leased from Russia, and England now
seeks to lay claim to, we purchased
from Russia"

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe 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. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manent1y. It's 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 a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUF
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name Of the Company

WASHINGTON, March est is IN
derstood here that General Otis has so
far matured his plans of campaign
that after he HIS delivered his next
blow the insu-gent army as an organ
ization, will 11ve ceased to exist The
new movement viii be, it is under
stood oy a COM bined land and water
attack, though it is not expected that
the navy's part in the programme
will be particularly prominent Otis
has procured thirteen of the gun
boats formerly owned by the Span
ish government and these are to
play an important part in the devel-
ment of the campaign. Many of the
troops which had been engaged upon
the outer lines up to the date of Cen
eral Lawton's arrival at Manila, have
been withdrawn to the water front
and a complete reorganization of the
army is in progress The reinforce
mcnts now arriving at Manila are
being used to maintain the strength
of the lines running from Manila to
Pasig, established by Wheaton's fly
ing brigade.
The next movement that is expected
here is to be by water. 1t is believed
that Otis will place a complete brigade
on board vessels, steam rapidly north
ward and land them beyond the in
surgent headquarters at Malolos. If
this movement succeeds, as it should
if made with rapidity, the insur-
gent army will find itself com
pletely penned in with no oppor-
be this flying brigade, on the east
LaSuna de Bay, across which they
will be prevented from escaping by
the American gunboats now adoat
there, the Pasig river to the south is
we'll policed by ironclads and with a
strong line in the position occupied
by Wheaton's brigade will cut off any
movement in that direction, while to
the west the bay of Manila is closed
by Dewey's vessels
It is hard to conceive how, IL this
plan carries, the insurgents can longer
avoid a decisive conflict which must
end either in breaking through the
American lines or in their surrender
1t is evident that Otis expects the lat
ter, for he has already advised the
War department that the insurgents
can not last much longer.
