STANDARDS STILL FIGHT.
The Garrison at Baler Does Not Know That
Peace Has Been Declared.

The Garrison at Baler Does Not Know That
Peace Has Been Declared.
Washington, April 23,-Advices re-
ceived at the war department from Ad-
miral Dewey, under date of April 81,
state that the expedition of the gun
boat Yorktown to Baler was purely to
rescue the Spanish soldiers and priests
who are being besieged in a church
there. The soldiers refused to surren-
der when expected to lay down their
arms by General Rios at the end of the
Paris peace conference.
Admiral Dewey said he did not know
what had become of Lieutenant Gill
more and the fourteen men in the
launch. The supposition is that they
were captured or killed by the Span
iards or the 400 insurgents who are be-
sieging the Spanish garrison,
General Rios, the Spanish COM
mander, when interviewed, said he did
not think the garrison at Baler knew
that the war between the United States
and Spain had ended. He had sent an
officer in January to tell the garrison
to surrender, but the garrison refused
to do so, either not believing the
officer or fearing that they would be
trapped by the insurgents. Since then
General Rios has not communicated
with the garrison, and this is the first
| information received that the Spanish
tag is still flying at Baler,

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 acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effeetually,
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 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 SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
