He went on towards Bayou Sara,

of imprecation. Mr.. Michel, who
was sitting on the side gallery of

piled with insulting oaths and told

Pillar WOULD SELL OUT.
Offers End the Insurrection and
Deliver Up AguinaIdo.

Manila, Oct. 19.-Gen. Otis has re-
ceived messages purporting to come
from the insurgent Gen. Pho del
Pillar offering to sell out his army and
to deliver Aguinaldo into the hands of
the Americans. Although he is not
satisfied that this offer is authentic, it
is not intrinsically improbable. The
policy of Gen. Otis is firmly set against
buying any surrenders.
Pho del Pillar offers for the sum of
$780, 600 to refrain from attacking Ma
Mia with his army; for the sum of
$25O,O00 he offers to surrender his army
after a sham battle, both sides firing
into the air, and for the sum of $500, 600
he says he will procure the overthrow
of the instruction and the capture of
Aguinaldo, Palermo and the other
leaders. In the course of the commu-
nication he refers to Aguinaldo in con-
temptuous terms, indicating that
strained relations exist between them.
Reports are being received from the
district occupied by the enemy that
the Filipinos believe that Pho del
Pillar has an audacious plan to break
through the American lines into Ma
Mia and seize Gen. Otis and the arch
bishop. Possibly these rumors were
started with an idea of helping him to
make a deal with the Americans.
It is needless to say that the Ameri-
cans would welcome an attack of that
sort. There has been much specula-
ton of late regarding the whereabouts
of Pho del Pillar. The recent attack at
La Iona is credited to his men. It is
believed that he is now in the vicinity
of San Mateo valley, with a force OF
from 1,SOO to 5000 men.

swELLED TO THEIR LIMIT.
Volunteer Regiments of the Army Are
Filled to Their QuOta-Otjs VIII Have
$4,000 Men Before Christmas.

Washington, Oct. 19.-At the war de-
partment returns have been received
which show that the full authorized
strength of the army has been reached,
and that 100, 600 men are now availa bic
for any service required. OF this force,
65, 900 men belong to the regular serv-
ice and So, 600 to the volunteer estab-
lishment. Should it become necessary
to further increase the army, congress
must act before more troops can be Sc
cured. The present army, under the
law, can be maintained until June 80,
1901, when it returns to its normal
strength.
It is estimated that Gen. Otis has
now under his command nearly 40, 600
men, and with the regiments now on
the way and those that will depart
next month his strength by the middle
of December will approximate 68,
rifles. This is the army that the ad-
ministration depends on to subdue the
Filipinos. The movement of troops to
Manila will continue without Interrupt
ton, under the programme arranged
by the war department, until every
regiment assigned to duty there has
been transported.

LIFE INSURANCE DECISION.
Suicide. Cannot Be Urged by Company as
It's Reason for Refusing to Pay
a Policy.

st. Louis, Oct. 21.-The United States
court of appeals yesterday decided
that suicide cannot be urged by an in
surance company or other organiza-
ton as it's reason for refusing to pay
on policy, unless it can be shown
that the individual at the time of sub
scribing for the policy contemplated
suicide. In its decision the court of
appeals supported the decision in the
lower court, in the case of Rosa B.
Jarman against the Knights Templars
and Masons' Life Indemnity company.
The wOman's husband, John P. Jar
man, committed suicide in this city
one year ago, while insane, and the

QUALITY AND NEWS.

Fame and Excellence Are Determin.
ing Factors in Successful Develop
ment-One of the Important Func-
lions of High-CIass Newspapers.
In presenting interesting phases of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation of as great value in their adj
vertising columns as in those devoted
to the publication of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame of
product is extended beyond its natural
limits into foreign lands. and large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and At
RIGA, it becomes a pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which so great a success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs.
the product of the California Fig Syrup
Company. The merits of this we'll
known excellent laxative were first
made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers of
the United States; and is one of the dis
tinct achievements of the press. It is
now well known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, ap
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and eff
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the system. and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. It is frequently referred to as
the remedy of the healthy, because it is
used by people who enjoy good health
and who live we'll and feel well and are
well informed on all subjects generally.

beneficial effects, it is necessary to get
the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN7
for Army of 1894 Creates Wide
spread WOnderment.

London, Oct. 19.-The calling out of
the militia and the military reserves
has occassioned widespread wonder
ment. Old stories of preparations
against continental combinations are
revived. 1t is freely rumored that the
government is determined to demon
strate to Europe that the British army
is not a negligible quantity.
Probably both the attitude of Europe
and that of the natives of South Africa
have something to do with this move
ment and the large display of force
is intended, doubtless, not only to
check the i'll will apparent on both
sides of the Rhine and beyond the
Visual, but also to guard against the
black peril.
According to the statistics published

manent staff and the militia reserve,

TO ENTER CHINA's CAPITAL.
Russia Hopes to Complete a Railroad to
Pekin Before a Protest Can Be
Put into Eject

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 19.-The steamer
Palzling, from Yokohama, brings news
that Russia has temporarily abandoned
the work on sections of the Trans
siberian railroad, which will eventu-
ally touch Vladivostock and Port
Arthur. Russia is concentrating the
workmen on a more important branch,
politically speaking. which will run
southeast through Manchuria to Pel1in.
It is apparently Russia's intention to
complete the road into sPelxin before
strong protest can be made against
such move. thereby making Russia the
dominant power in China's capital.
