“This order discharges all the volun
teers remaining in the United States ’
Sale of the Philippines.
Will be sold before the court bouse
door in Manila, between the legal
hours of sale, on the Ist Tuesday in
April, the following described proper
ty, to wit:
A collection of islands, known as
the Philippine Islands. Bounded on
the north by about 12,000 miles of
water and the United States, on the
south by the equator, on the eait
by the astonished nations of the earth,
and on the west by Dewey’s fleet, and
a few foreign war ships from England,
France, Germany, and Russia, with
an eye on the crumbling throne of the
Chinese empire. Said islands to be
sold under a fi fa against Spain to sat-,
isfy the ambition of a few politicians
in America. Said lands all lay well,
finely watered, and timbered, being in
a rich, tropical country and produce
two crops per year of sugar cane, ty
phoons, cotton, coffee, rebellions, rice,
tobacco and hemp; they import to all
countries large quantities of hemp
rope annually, hangings can be exe
cuted at a comparatively small cost.
All of the larger islands, consisting
of about a dozen, with a floe growth
of highly polished savages, a few of
them have some splendid cannibals,
ready for market, will be sold to the
highest bidder, positively no by-bid
ding. Foreign capitalists, who care
for rare brie a brae, will find this sale
the only charce of a life time. As the
United States has to keep a standing
army, she reserves the Island of Lu
zon as a training ground, the 1,000 or
1200 small islands will be reserved as
target practice for the dynamite cruis
er, Vesuvius. Parties desiring to
purchase the land without its inhab
itants, or who only wish to buy the
inhabitants will put in their notice of
same 10 days before day of sale. The
fact of our having a civil war some
years since to abolish slavely, will cut
no figure in this case, the southern
people owned the slaves then, now its
us, they are ours and dog gone ’em we
are going to sell ’em.
The sale will positively take place,
rain or shine. Terms of sale, spot
cash.
Several of these islands have rich
silver mines, thus affording a fine
opening for the populists and what
few straggling Bryan democrats will
be left by the end of the year. A fine
barbecue will be served on the grounds.
The proceeds of sale will go to the
campaign funds of 1900—C. A. Up

INSURGENTS ARE DETERMINED.
Compell California Volunteers to
Abandon Advanced Position
Manila, Feb. 20—The California
volunteers abandoned Guadalupe
church at 5 o’clock yesterday morning,
which has since been set on fire, and
retired to San Pedro Macati.
The rebels still hold the country in
the vicinity of Guadalepe, Pasig and
Patero despite the efforts of the gun
boats to dislodge them from the jungle
on both sides of the river.
The heat is intense and is increasing
perceptibly daily. Under present con
ditions it is impossible to provide shade
for the troops in certain parts of the
line, particularly McArthur’s division.
King’s brigade is also exposed from
San Pedro Macati to Culiculi, where it
joins Ovenshine’s brigade.
In view of the fact that the enemy
was concentrating on the American
right flank, preparations were made
last night to give the enemy a waim
reception in the event of attack.
General Ovenshine’s line, consisting
originally of the North Dakota volun
teers, Fourteenth infantry, stretching
from the beach at Camp Dewey to
General King’s right, was re-enforced
by two battailions of Oregon volun
teers and three troops of the Fourth
cavalry as infantry.
The Buffalo’s searchlight discover
ing the rebels unusually active about
10 o’clock in the evening, signaled the
flagshap for permission to fire upon
them, and this being granted, bom
barded the enemy's trenches for twen
ty minutes. The only effect of the
fire was apparently to drive the rebels
further inland.
Beyond a few ineffectual volleys
from the trenches, which were return
ed with interest, the enemy made no
demonstration and all is quiet along
the rest of the line.
Scouts claim to have seen General
Pio del Pilar, who commanded the
rebels at Paco, with his arm in sling,
directing the troops. General Monte
negro, the insurgent commander in
chief, is reported to be personally con
ducting the movements in front of
Gen. King’s line at San Pedro Macati.
The signal corps is arranging signals
with the navy for future operations on
the left. With the exception of the
port of Iloilo, trade with Philippine
ports is still blockaded.

do pleasantly and effectually what was
formerly done in the crudest manner and

Amusements in Manila
In Manila I visited the Filipino
theatres; the actors, management and
audience were natives. An opera was
in progress, “The Murdered King,”
The scenes were clever imitations of
European scene-makers, and the cos
tumes of the actors might grace their
betters. A dash of comedy enlivened
such parts as the death scene and the
funeral, and the comedy lead bad the
house from start to finish. The hun
dreds of natives present were hugely
entertained by the Tagal jokes and
properly impressed with the work of
the heavy tragedian. I have seen
worse plays with Seabrooke in the
title role. The Filipino circus is an
other popular resort. If an enterpris
ing American manager could trans
port the aggregation to Madison
Square Garden, standing room only
would be the order and not the excep
tion. Not because the Filipinos cou’d
oul-Barnum Barnum, but because the
native talent is of a clever order and
the entertainment is unique. Tumb
blers, wiestlers, jugglers, contortionists
and clowns do their acts creditably
and salaam off the ring in real circus
style. The native dancing-women
have a specialty of tbeir own. They
do not kick high enough to make an
extra demand for front, seats, but their
movements are graceful and sinuous,
while their skirts, though moderately
abbreviated, are bright and pictur*

THE SPAIN OF TODAY
The Country is Lifeless and Dall, But
Safe for American Tourists.
In an American paper the other day
I read an inquiry from a correspondent
in Rome asking whether it would be
safe or politic for American tourists to
visit Spain at this time After an ex
perince of three weeks in all parts of
Spain, I can tell that inquirer that for
the purposes of the traveler Spain is
as safe now as it ever has been, and it
needs Americans as it never has need
ed them before
I could not advise this American to
follow the example of a young fellow I
encountered the other day at Madrid,
and who was outraging the hospitality
and ignorance of the country by walk
ing through it, on a wager, so ho said,
with two American flags pinned upon
his person. I suppose that the Span
iards, unable to recognize the flag,
were no worse off for having seen it
exhibited in so undignified a fashion,
but I wondered what on earth the
educated peopleof the country thought
of the performance, and blushed for
the individual who was shoved for
ward as a fellow countryman. Yet, in
spite of the eccentric doings of my
freakish fellow-citizen, he had marched
across the desolate land, accompanied
by an innocent ass, unmolested, al
though he did claim to have barely
escaped from the knife of a returned
soldier at one of the seaport towns.
To those to whom Spain is not en
tirely new it now will impress itself io
a very different manner. The way
farer meets with as much courtesy as
ever, the landlords as earnestly seek
the recesses of the pilgrim’s pockets,
the beggars are, if possible, more nu
merous than ever before, but, with the
doubtful exception of Barcelona, the
life and light of the country have de
parted.
There always is activity at Barce
lona, but at Saragossa there have been
no sightseers in months. At Madrid
it was almost as bad. The opera “house,
which is one of the finest in Europe,
was lees than half filled. The court
has not appeared in public since long
before the war commenced, and the
public has neither money nor heart
for the opera or theater. The famous
art gallery is populated almost exclus
ively by custodians and copying ar
tists. Taka away the soldiers and
there would be no brilliancy left.
Seville is so quiet as to be almost
oppressive. The streets are lifeless,
the cases, to which the visitor formerly
was lured under the impression that
theie be would see the dancing girls
of Andalusia in a setting full of local
color, have all gone out of business
but one.
One hears only the echoes of his
own feet in the court of oranges at the
big hotel, and sits down with a heavy
heart and not much else for company
at the long table, with seats for sixty
four and a remarkable tablecloth
in one piece t> cover it. Here
at Cadiz it is much lhe same
thing, except that you see more
of the cotton uniforms of the
colonial army now coming home.
Everything is sad, sad, inexpressibly
sad, from the bleak and treeless lands
scape to the hungry looking common
people —Chicago Record
There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney A
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on tbe blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure, eend for circulars and tes
timonials. Address,

A West Pointer Called Down.
A young second lieutenant, who
had been graduated from the first
class a couple of months before tbe
regular graduation at West Point, had
just joined Lis regiment and was
walking down the street near the
palace. He stopped on the corner,
and as he did so an old grizzled sol
dier with a growth of beard on bis
face and wilh a cavalry sergeant’s
stripe on his breeches, a blue shirt
and campaign hat, but with no other
mark of rank about his uniform ex
cept his sergeant’s stripe, walked
slowly down and stopped in front of
the lieutenant, looking around at the
different buildings Tbe young offi
cer fidgeted a few moments under the
manner in which the trooper ignored
his proximity, and finally turned to
him and said, sharply : “Here, you
man, did any one ever teach you how
to salute? ’
‘•Yea sir,” drawled the trooper, as
he glanced at the youngster.
“ Well, knock your heels together,”
said the young officer, and the trooper
came to attention with the precision
of an old soldier.
“Now salute,” he said, and tbe
trooper’s gauntlet came to the rim of
bis bat and stayed there until the
young lieutenant answered it, at the
same time demanding : “Now remem
ber this, and don’t let it happen again.
What is your name and what do you
belong to?”
Without relaxing his position from
attention the old trooper again re
spectfully saluted, and remarked,
dryly: “My name is Samuel Sumner,
and I’m a brigadier general of the
cavalry brigade,” whereupon the
y >ung lieutenant proceeded to copy
as many colors of tbe rainbow with
bis face as was possible, and slipped
away as scon as he dared, forgetting
even to apologize.

THE EXCELLENCE OF STRIP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fio Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fio Syrup Co
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy It is
far iu advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It docs not require an expert to delect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
posit or stron-r '>d- r.
Whjn ibuje sjmptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may ru»
, into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
J stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Boot, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
i such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
