confusion among those getting to leave was SO

a great loss TO US and his country.
OTIS"
The Presidents first intimation of the
loss Of General Lawton was given him by
the Associated Press. The dispatch was
sent 10 the White House while the Cabi-
net meeting was in progress and was re-
ceived with expressions of sorrow and re-
gret II was learned at the War Depart
ment that instructions had been received
last night from the President 10 prepare
General Lawton's commission as a briga-
dier general in the regular army 10 fill
one of the existing vacancies and the ad-
iutant generals clerks were at work on
the commission when the information of
General Lawton's death was conveyed to
the department.
General Lawton started from Manila
last night with cavalry under Captain
Iockett and the battalions OF the Twen-
tieth and Twenty-seventh Infantry under
Lieutenant Colonel Sargent for the pur-
nose OF capturing San Mateo, where Ger
onimo was said TO have 800 insurgents.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Dec. 19.-Grief Is
general and genuine in this city over the
announcement OF General Henry Lawton's
death at San Mateo. General Lawton was
living in Fort Wayne with his parents,
and was a student at the outbreak of the
rebellion. He enlisted in the Ninth In
diana Volunteers. and later became lieu
tenant colonel of the Thirtieth Indiana
The San Francisco call., 1899-12-20

many tear fell from the eyes OF
men who had long followed the
intrepid Lawton. The entire
command was stricken with grief
as though each man had suffered
a personal loss. Owing to the
condition of the country. which
is impossible so far as vehicles
are concerned. the remains could
not be brought to Manila to-
day.
Mrs. Lawton and the children
are living in a Government resi-
dence formerly occupied by a
Spanish general.
San Mateo lies between a high
mountain behind and a broad,
shallow stream III front, with
wide Sandbars. which the insur-
gent trenches and the buildings
command. The Americans were
compelled to ford the river under
fire. It was while they were ly-
ing in the rice fields and volleying
across preparatory to passing the
stream that General Lawton was
shot. All except the officers were
behind cover. A staff officer was
wounded about the same time,
and one other officer and seven
men were wounded.
After three hours shooting the
Filipinos were dispersed into the
mountains. Colonel Lockett
took command when General
Lawton fell.
The San Francisco call., 1899-12-20

San Mateo was attacked at 8
O'Clock, and a three hours fight
ensued. This resulted in but few
casualties on the American side,
apart from the death of General
Lawton, but the attack was dif-
fcult because of the natural de-
lenses of the town.
General Lawton was walking
along the firing line within 300
yards OF a small sharpshooter's 5
trench, conspicuous in the big
white helmet he always wore and
a light yellow rain coat. He was
also easily distinguishable be-
cause OF his commanding stature.
The sharpshooters directed
several close shots, which clipped
the grass near by. His staff Of
hcer called General Lawton's at
tention to the danger he was in,
but he only laughed with his
usual contempt for bullets.
Suddenly he exclaimed, 81 am
shot!" clasped his hands in a des-
perate effort 10 stand erect and
fell into the arms of a staff officer.

for surgeons, who dashed up inn

useless. The body was taken to
a clump of bushes and laid on a
stretcher, the familiar white he'll
met covering the face of the dead
general.
Almost at this moment the
cheers of the American troops
rushing into San Mateo were
mingled with the rifle volleys.

alrymen forded the river TO the

kIANILA' Dec I9--Gen-
IVI eral Henry Lawton has
been shot and killed at
San Mateo. He was standing in
front OF his troops, was shot in
the breast and died Immediately.
General Lawton left here Mon
dav night, having returned from
his northern operations Satur-
dav to. lead an expedition
through Mariquina Valley, which
has been an insurgent stronghold
throughout the war. The valley
has several times been invaded
but never held by the Americans.
General Geronimo was supposed
10 have there the last organized
force north OF Manila, and Gen
eral Otis wished TO garrison Ma
riauina. The night was one Of
the worst OF the season. A ter
rife rain had begun and is still
continuing.
Accompanied by his staff and
Troop l, Fourth Cavalry, Gen
eral Lawton set out at Q o'clock
in advance of the main force,
consisting of the Eleventh Cav
airy and one battalion each OF the
Twentieth and Twenty-seventh
Infantry, which started from La
Iona at midnight. With a small
escort he led the way through an

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1e.-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1e.-
Admiral Dewey, speaking of
the late General Lawton, said:
''I knew him and loved him.
He was the bravest of the
brave" 1t is interesting to
know in this connection the
high opinion held by Lawton
of Dewey. They were the
warmest personal friends, and
the great admiral had no more
ardent adnirer than the great
general. In Manila public ad-
miration constantly coupled
their names and they were
beau ideals Of the army and
navy fighting men.

namely. 10000 mounted infan-
try. This morning the War Oh
flee issued an order to the effect
that the Government had decided
TO raise for South Africa a
mounted infantry force to be
called Imperial Yeomanry,'
and to be recruited from yeo-
many, volunteers and civilians
possessing the requisite qualih-
cations. Enlistment will be for
one year, or during the contin-
uance OF the war. The men must
be between 20 and IS years of
age and OF equal physique to the
ordinary cavalry soldier. Off
GERS and men are to provide their
own horses and to wear neutral
tint cloth shooting jackets, not
necessarily uniform, felt hats,
breeches and CATERS. All must
be good riders and marksmen.
The same order invites every
volunteer regiment that is linked
with a regular battalion serving
at the front to supply full COM
pany, which will take the place OF
the mounted infantry of the regi-
ment.
These arrangements are eX-
pected TO result in a considerable
force. The enrolled strength OF
the yeomanry forces, which
originated in the troublesome
period of the revolution, is now
Io,433. Their services have never
before been called for in war.
The Lord Mayor of London,
Alfred Newton, is raising and
equipping force OF thousand
volunteers among the city corps.
The large city firms are contrib
uting the necessary expenses.
Colonel Sir Charles Howard
Vincent, commandant of the
Queens Westminster Volun-
teers, has also offered to raise a
regiment of a thousand picked
marksmen.
Rudyard Kipling addressed
meeting at Rottingdean last
evening, called for the purpose
of forming a volunteer company.
The Queen has announced her
intention OF entertaining at
Windsor Castle, December 70,
the wives and children of soldiers
serving in South Africa who re-
side in that neighborhood. Tea
will be served, her Majesty prob
ably presiding in person, and a
Christmas tree, twenty-five feet
high, will hang with gifts.
The British second class
cruiser Isis will convey General
Lord Kitchener from Egypt to
the Cape. She has been ordered
to steam at sixteen knots.
Special reports regarding the
fighting at the Tugela River are
still fltering through, but all the
newspapers complain that these
are severely censored, and it is
still impossible to get any accu-
rate idea of the battle. From the
latest accounts, however, 1t ap-
pears that General Butler was in
personal command.
A correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press at Chieveley Camp
says the Beers excuse themselves
for firing on the stretcher-
bearers by asserting that two
squads of the Connaught
Rangers took cover under
civilian bearers of the Red
Cross, and that this act drew the
Boer fire, three being killed and
several wounded.
Much anxiety is caused by the
fact that the War Office has not
vet received a full list of the
casualties at Tugela River.
