Desperate Fighting.
Despite their peaceful over-
tures the Filipinos continue their
warfare. They fought from Apa-
lit toward San Fernandino, fight-

er running from trench to trench
when driven out by the American
artillery.
Gen. Hale’s brigade with five
Gatling guns advanced a few
miles bej'ond the railways while
Gen. Wheaton’s deployed to the
right and left.
Both brigades met with resist-
ance near San Tomas. The cen-
ter span of the railway bridge
fell into the river and the rebels
had only a small force to check
Gen. Wheaton, their main body
lining the trenches in front of
Gen. Hale. Notwithstanding the
heavy musketry and artillery fire
the Filipinos, stubbornly resisted
for an hour, but finally retreated.

night of the 4th. Mr. Finger has
been in bad health since the close

found deserted, the manager
having told the non-union men to
leave. The strikers sent pickets
ahead and they fired a shot to let
the others know the mill had
been abandoned. This was mis-
understood by the mob, who
thought non-union men had be

fire on the pickets, about 1000
shots being exchanged. One man
was killed and many wounded.

it and it was blown up. Damage

with the zest which she displayed in

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
medicinally 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 its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
pic used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal 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 imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
