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 1t
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-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t 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

WERE WELL ARMED.

Insurgsnt Troops Had Mauser Rifles and
Krupp Field Guns.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The following
official despatch was received from Gen.
Otis this morning:
"ManiIa, Feb. 7, 1899.
"Adjutant General:
"The insurgent army which has been
concentrated around @anlla from the
Luzon provinces numbered over 10000
They possessed several quick firing and
Krupp field guns and were armed with
Mauser rifles of the latest patterns. Two
of the Krupp guns and many of the rifles
were captured.
"The insurgents fired great quantity
Of ammunition. Quite a number OF
spa nish soldiers we're in the lnsurgent
lines, serving with the artillery. The in
surgents constructed strong iAtrench
ments near the American llres, mostly
in the bamboo thickets. These our men
charged, killing and capturing maKv OF
the enemy.
"Our casualties aggres ate $50. Full
report today. The casualties among the
insurgents are 500 dead and we hold 500
prisoners. Their losses in killed, wound
ed and prisoners arc probably 1000.

out. There was a skirmish with enemy
who made no stand. The pumping ap-
paratus is damaged but will ne IN work

A "M1dsummer Nights Dream "

This delightful production of Shakes
peare's genius is one of the most unique
things in literature Written by the
worlds greatest dramatist, it is neither a
tragedy nor comedy, and is indeed
scarcely definable at all, except as a
fancy. an airy flight of Imagination,
dream Yet not the kind that common
mortals dream, but such lacY maze of
fancy as is known only TO the highest
genius. "1ts transitions are asrapid and
he images and scenes it presents to the
imagination as unexpected and as re-
mote from each other, as those Of the
boIdest lyric; while it has also that high
est perfection Of the lyric art. the per
vading unity of the poetic splrit-that
continued glow of excited thought
which blend the whole nch and strange
variety in one common effect of gay and
dazzling brilliancy."
So exqu'sitely delicate are many of
the characters and scenes, that it was
found impossible tor ordinary stage art to
represent them. What theatrical devices
could exhibit the shifting moonbea ms,
the rustling and signing Of the summer
breezes, or the dainty flight of beautiful
fairies? None. .. Several attempts have
been made at different times to put the
Midsummer Nights Dream" on the
sage, but it always failed to take when
presented as an ordinary play, for reasons
above stated. But music can express
things too subtle for words or action.
Mendelssohn knew this, and, struck with
the rich variety and beauty of the fancies
of the play, he undertook, contrary to the
advice of many of his friends, to set the
midsummer Nights Dream" to music.
How we'll he succeeded may be inferred
from the worlo wide popularity of many
parts of this famous composition, as, for
example, the beautiful Wedding March,
Bot music alone cannot tell the story;
it can only express the feelings which
arise in connection with it. To get a
perfect comprehension of the whole
thing, the story must be presented with
the music This is the plan followed bv
the ladies of the musical club. One OF
their number is a most accomplished
Shakespearan reader, and she will read
the play in connection with the music
which is both vocal and instrumental
This happy combination of finished elo.
cution and beautiful music makes an en-.
tertalnment which is too delightful to be
missed by anyone who cares in the leas,
| for the aesthetic arts.

Five miles from the city sharp en-
gagement took place resulting in the
ca ture of the water works by the Ne

les of the Colorado, battalion of the
First Tennessee and supported by de
tachment of the Utah battery from Gen

engagement with the insurgents while on
the way to the waterworks in which two
men were killed and three wounded.
The Filipinos are utterly demorallzeo
