Manila, Dec 20.-Major General Law
tons body was brought from San Ma
teo to Manila this afternoon, his staff
and squadron of cavalry acting as es-
cort. 1t was found necessary to bridge
the river.
The funeral will take place from his
late residence here, a mansion formerly
occupied by a Spanish general-s-TfIe
ody has been placed temporarily in
vault in Ell Paco cemetery, where many
of the American soldiers have been in
TERED, and a guard of honor will be
maintained. When Mrs. Lawton and
her four. children shall have completed
their arrangements for returning to the
United States, the remains will be ta-
ken on a transport with an escort of
officers for final interment, as is
thought probable here, in Arlington
cemetery.
General Lawton's death has caused
universal sorrow in Manila. No Ameri-
can officer had greater popularity
among all ranks, and in his dealings
with the natives he commanded their
respect and confidence to a remarkable
degree. The mayors whom he installed
in the neighboring towns are arranging
to attend the funeral in body.
Work of Lawton.
To his executive ability and personal
leadership is chiefly due the brilliant
execution of the plan of campaign in
North LuZon, which has scattered the
insurgents from San Isidro to the Gulf
of Lingayen. That section of the is
land which had to be traversed during
the very worst season of the year pre-,
sented difficulties considered by all ac-
quainted with it to be almost unsur-
mountable. but General Lawton thor
oughly covered the programme assigned
him.
When he reached Taug and found
that the other division had not arrived
he went through to Dagupan on his
own responsibility, and although he i'm
posed great hardships upon his men,
has invariably shared their lot cheer
fully. -
Thirteen Americans Wounded.
Thirteen Americans, including three
officers, were wounded in the engage
ment at San Mateo, where General
Lawton was killed. Captain Breckin-
ridges wound is not considered. danger
Gus, although the bullet penetrated his
arm and side.
1t is estimated that the insurgents
numbered 500, and that half of them
were armed with rifles. The Ameri-
cans numbered 1,300 but the command
had been much depleted by sickness
The wagon train found the roads i'm
passable and was obliged to return. The
insurgents retreated to the northeast
leaving six dead.
They have other forces near Taytay
This region. although close to Manila,
has proved the most difficult from
which to dislodge the enemy. 1t is now
reported that the insurgents intend to
concentrate at Santa Cruz, La Guna
province. and in the district east of La
Guna de Bay.
The American secret service reports
that Aguinaido has joined the Mar
quina force.

TRIBUTES TO LAWToN.
High Expressions of Regard From
Root and Long.

Washington, Dec Ex-senator Fair
banks saw the president today in re-
gard to the return of General Law
tons body to the United States. The
senator suggested that the funeral SER
vices be given something of a national
character. Secretary Root made the
following statement in regard to the
death of General Lawton:
1T is seldom that loss can be called
irreparable as in the case of General
Lawton's death. Because he not only
possessed the highest soldierly quail
ties, but the process of selection by ac-
tual experience had brought about uni
versal recognition of these qualities,
while he was in the full vigor of life,
so that the opportunity for great use
fulness and the highest commands lay
before him. He had not merely the
quality of courage, but the quality of
command which inspired his troops
with his indomitablc will and disre-
gard of danger. When the story of his
march through central and northern
Luzon, in the autumn of 1899, comes
to be written, believe that the crown
ing achievement of his life of strenu-
GUS and noble service will be deemed to
add luster to American arms and Sc
cure for him an enduring place as one
of the heroic figures of American his
tory"
Secretary Long has uttered the fol-
lowing tribute to General Lawton's
character:
General Lawton was in many reA
spects an ideal soldier; single-minded,
devoted to his duty, and of unqualified
courage. He belongs to that class
whom the world designates as the brav-
est of the brave. He made his reputa-
ton on the field. 1 saw a good deal of
him during the presidents trip to At.
lanta last winter. and was impressed
by his quiet, unaSsuming manner.
When called upon to speak in public he
answered with but a word. But some
how, as you heard that word and
looked in the face and saw the man,
you felt that if anything was to be done
he was the man to do it,

roar of shot and SHE'LL fought gallantly
on and gained Colenso.
Colonel Long rushed in the batteries
in order to get close range, when sud-
denly the Beers sprang up and opened
destructive fire with Mausers at a
range of only 600 yards. Gunners and
horses were rapidly shot down.
With the utmost pluck our private
soldiers took teams to recover the can

ten field pieces were not recovered, de-
spite the heroic efforts of our fellows
to get them back.

bank met with an equally terrible op-
position.
But despite the great losses which
were sustained. the boys of the Irish
brigade grandly won their way across
the river, though a few of them were
drowned in the passage. But they
found the position untenable and were
ordered TO retire.
AT noon our troops withdrew to their
former positions. the Beers evincing no
disposition to follow US up. During the

Why Pardon Was Given.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The president
has granted a full pardon TO James II.
Bacon, who was convicted in 1896 and
sentenced to Imprisonment for seven
years in the Utah penitentiary for max
ing false report to the comptroller of
the currency of the condition of the
National Bank of Salt Lake, Utah, of
which he was president. The method of
making his report. it is asserted by the
comptroller of the currency, Dawes.
and his predecessor, was well nigh uni
versal among banks, and was well un-
derstood by the department, and unit,
this time had not been the subject of
official complaint. They both state that
in their judgment Bacon was innocenl
of any moral wrong, and that he ought
not to have been convicted Attorney
General Griggs, in reviewing the case,
says the evidence did not warrant
finding of guilty.
Attorney General Griggs, in his re-
port TO the president on the case, said:
1T would be most unjust to visit upon
the petitioner the severe penalty pro-
nounced by the statue upon offenders
against the national banking law for a
mere failure to follow strictly a pure

advise that the petitioner be granted
pardon

Had Strong influence.

In his plea for pardon Mr. Bacon had
the influence of Attorney General
Griggs, Comptroller of the Currency
Dawes, ex-Comptroller of the Currency
Eckles, a number of members of the
jury who convicted him in the first in
stance. many Salt Lake bankers and a
host of influential friends. He has been
in Washington for weeks working for
this pardon He left there for Salt
Lake last night and will be among his
friends here in a few days
Few cases have aroused more local
interest than the Bacon case, and vet a
restatement of some of the salient fea-
lures will not be amiss. James H. Ba-
con was the president of the National
Bank of Salt Lake, Utah On the oath
of November, 1896, he was indicted by
