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. 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-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's 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 themedicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna 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
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

scrip" latea proved to be shares in
a mine which suddenly became a pay

Havre. Hardly had the steamer go
outside the harbor of New York thar
the young Frenchman was placed in
irons, and thus reached Havre. The
American colony at Havre interested
| themselves in Sabates behalf on ac-
count of his service in the American
| army, and he was released and allow.
| ed to depart from his native shores
| forever
In July, 1899, he enlisted in the
Twenty seventh United States Infant
ry and was on recruiting duty in New
York for some time. When the regi-
| ment was ordered to the Philippines
he accompanied it as far as San Fran
cisco. While there a telegram came
from the War Department at Wash
| ington, in which the commanding off
Ger of the regiment was ordered to
discharge the young Frenchmsin with
out honor. This was the day before
the regiment sailed for Manila. As
founded and seemingly disgraced, Sa-
bate set about to discover why he had
been thus summary dismissed from
the ranks He learned that it was
through secret French influences that
the French Ambassador had been re-
quested to ask for his Ndismissal, and
the request was granted Later he was
allowed discharge papers on which APP
peared "honorably discharged
NThen the exilei began life anew. His
was precarious existence. He finally
decided to become a sailor, and went
to the Boring Sea last year on a
cruise. Finally he engaged as a sail
or aboard the Benicia and has made
two trips in the vessel
Even as a sailor the evil genius of
his misfortune seems to be following
him closely, for yesterday morning he
ard man named Baugh, the agent
of the Pacific Sailors Union, had an
alteration resulting in Sabate's caus-
ing Baugh to be arrested on war;
rant. Sabate says that Baugh came
on board the Benicia and told him that
If ne did not give up IS and be ship
ped by the Union. they would make
it hot for him Sabate replied that
he was an American citizen and could
ship how and with whom he pleased.
He said he had shipped on the BenicIa
through the Shipowners' Association,
and he proposed to stay with them.
Baugh is said to have made some in
sulting remarks, and to have placed
his fist on Sabate's nose, but not
striking him. Several sailors We're close
by and witnessed the attempt on the
part of Baugh to extort money from
Sabate
In the afternoon several sailors OF
the Union crowd attempted to bully
Sabate while he and a friend were
standing at the corner of Nuuanu and
Queen streets. Two of them made
threats TO do him up" and told him
to get off the sidewalk Both used In
sulting language, and but for the In
reference of Honolulan, who ordered
the men to go about their own bust
ness, Sabate might have been rnobbed
The appearance of police officer on
the scene shortly afterward caused the
DULLES to stink away and get out of
sight. The case against Baugh will be
tried this morning in the police court.

IOWA OFF FOR PANAMA.
Rumors Of An Ecuadorian Invasion OF
Colombia Denied.

Washington. Aug. 19.-Captain
Perry, of the battleship Iowa, now at
san Francisco. has teiegraphed to the
navy department an acknowledgment
of his instructions to proceed to the
west coast of Panama in connection
with the revolutionary troubles, but
reports that the boilers and some 9th.
er parts of the vessel need immediate
attention. 1t is hoped by the depart.
mcnt. however that she will be able
to sail some time today.
The most interesting development
was the news contained in a press
dispatch from Quito that Ecuadorian
troops are ready to invade Colombia
and that a battle was imminent near
Pasto. Mr.. Silva, the Colombian min.
lister, while without advices from his
government, expressed the belief that
his new expedition was a part OF the
revolutionary movement, and that it
was in no sense oraniZed by the Ecua-
dorian government. He said that
many years ago there had been fric-
tion between the two governments, but
that in recent years no important con
troversial issues had been raised be-
tween them.
