proclamation Of the United States Phil
ippine commission has been posted in

has been received with marked atten-

May Not Reach the Masses.

|L.a#A ~ 49, ~ ~~O0~
A Spanish banker who was inter.
viewed expressed the fear that the proc.
lamation will not reach the masses con.
trolling the rebellion, because, he ex.
planned, the Filipinos at Manila are
mostly domestics and clerks who have
no definite opinions, and the wire-pull.
ers outside Of the city have undoubtedly
intercepted it. Continuing, the Span
ish banker said that II the proclamation
had been issued on May 2, or even on
Aug. IA Of last year, the result would
have been no different, az, in his opinion,
based on 20 years experience, the only
argument which appeals to the masses
here is the gun.
A Most Polite poeunant.
The editor Of Oceanic thinks the
probation 10 the most politic document
ever published In the Philippine islands
and that it is hound to convince the
wavering Of the folly Of further host;l.
tiles.
An English merchant says the first
clause, with reference to the establish.
ment and maintenance Of American
sovereignty and warning the rebels
should settle the question in the minds
Of every thinking Filipino.
A Scotch ship owner thinks it does moi
leave any further doubt as to the policy
of the United States. and that conse.
quently Aguinsldo must submit to the
inevitable, q the continuance Of hostil.
tiles opposes the best interests Of the
Eilipinos.

He was one of the three commissioners
appointed by Gen. Shafter to arrange
with Toral the terms of capitulation,
and after the fall of Santiago policed
the city in a very thorough manner un-
til the establishment of stable form of
government was made possible. Law
tons idea of policing place of the kind
Is very simple. "rhe regulations are so
and So" he would say, "and you have
your gun. If anybody violates the reg
ulations, use the gun" 1t required just
one day to quiet the city.
Again 1t was the Geronimo recorder
rather the record of years in the west
crowned by the Geronimo incident
which sent him to the Philippines to
command the American forces in the
field. The rainy season will have no
effect on him. whatever the effect may
be on those under him. He Is as GER
tain to go strong and fast, even II he
goes to his death, as the sun Is certain
to rise and set. All climates and all
seasons are alike to that iron frame
upon which war and peace and the
rigors of the mountains and the sloth
of the Potomac Valley and asceticism
and dissipation haye been effectless.

o-Gets-U -Up-in- Night to Fight,
tically ceaseless toll His forehead is
high and somewhat narrow, his eyes n
Keen gray, his nose and cheek bones
prominent his chin square, his lips
thin. He wears dropping mustache.
His hair is cut pompadour, stands up
stitf and short like reversed shoe
shoe brush, and he is not pretty. This
hair Is now literally sprinkled with
gray. and the white amid the brown Is
about his only sign of age. Army sur
geons who know him say that he may
live to be 100 unless bullet cuts short
his strange and sanguinary career.
Henry w. Lawton was Il gallant and
serviceable officer of infantry during
four years of the civil war, but his
peculiar talents were properly envir-
oned only when he was transferred to
the cavalry and stationed in the south
west. This was more than Il quarter
of century ago, and for two decades
he was remote from the large cities of
the east. He found New Mexico and
Arizona overrun and terrorized by hos
tile bands of Indians and he set him
self, along with his comrades, to hold
them down. They We're held down. The
work that the cavalrymen of the United
States did in those years will never be
appreciated until n circumstantial his
tory Is written and it Is not probable
that the history will ever be written.
1t was life of foray, long rides, des-
perate battles in remote valleys, mid
night surprises, combat with a foe that
often was not seen, disheartening and
fruitless chases, danger and frequent
death. In fifteen years the officer saw
every friend he had made when he
went to the mountains taken from him
by removal, age disease or the bullet.

The entire personnel of the force
changed more than once-the entire
personnel-that is, except himself. He
was always left, lonely, self-contained,
earnest indefatigable and silent, save
when giving commands or cheering on
his men in fight His name became a
household world in all of the tepees in
that wild land. The Chiricahuas, the
Mescaleros, the Jicarlllas, Apaches, all
had for him the mixture of hate and
grudged admiration compelled by Il
dauntless foe. They found In him,
after a little while, a man who was
learned In every phase of their peculiar
warfare, and in ten years they dreaded
him as they have dreaded few white
men since the winning of the West be-
gan. Lawton's method of handling
them was singularly his own. When he
struck a trail he kept to it with a
logged tenacity which knew no such
thing as quit. Whether the pursuit
was maintained for day or a week, It
was maintained with a steady, unre-
lenting earnestness that did more to
strike terror into the hearts of the red
men than would have been possible to
all the rifles on earth. The mans phil
osophy was wholly expressed once in
a chance remark to a newspaper ac-
quaintance.
"If man is hunting for, you,' he
said, "get gun and hunt him. Do 1t
right away. 1t dscourages anyone to
be suddenly transferred from the posi-
ton of hunter to hunted"
This rule has guided him. He insists
upon being the aggressor. 1t is sup
posed that he would stand charge all
right, but hitherto he has always done
the charging. He does not believe in
waiting for the other side to act. This
trait was signally demonstrated in his
conduct of the right wing of the Amer
lean army at El Caney. He had men
that he thought could be depended
on. At any rate he proposed to see
what they could and would do. So he
sent them at the blockhouses and
breastworks hour after hour with a
savage disregard of the chances of

Saches and their band OF cu,throats
were prisoners In Florida. They are
still In confinement. Not only was the
power for evil of this particular tribe
nulllied, but the spirit of Apache re-
sistance was broken. 1t had been dem
onstrated that they could be beaten at
their own game. Once again the white
man had shown them that he was their
MASTER mentally, morally and physical
ly. 1t was this service which called
Lawton from the west and landed him
In the inspector generals office In
Washington, with much official pres
tige, a fair salary and little to do. The
inaction chafed him, as 1t chafes any
man of his kind. In five years he rnsted
more than he would have worn In ten.
The chance Of hostlities with Spain
found him eageyly preferring requests
for assignment to service. He did not
wish to inspect anything or to take the
conduct of army trains. He wanted to
fight 1t seemed to him, he said. that

and know that there was Il chance To do

the Santiago campaign fighters and not

Shafter To assist him in the desperate
enterprise ahead. "Pecos Bill' had

Iawton so well. He was there to kill
Spaniards and he thought he saw his
way clear to doing it,.
As a brigadier general of volunteers
he was given command of division
and in that command stormed El
Caney, doing as much as any man could
do to convince Toral that his cause was
hopeless. In all OF the fighting OF that
terrific day he was up to the firing line.

clalnbering far beyond the timber line,
Lawton and his followers struggled
on. Frequently a wisp of blue smoke
jutted from some inaccessible crag
and bullet sang its wicked way to its
billet or spattered upon a russet rock.
1t is country that God Almighty
made In wrath ard the imprint of his

test was in doubt to the last day.
Finally, one night just as the sentries
were set, there was a faint hail and an
Indian stood before them. He was
worn to the bone, but dauntless still.
He said that his chief would talk TO the
white man, but would talk to him alone.

but the messenger would guide Lawton

had beaten them back from the far
eastern verge of the land they had
owned, he walked straight to the medi-
cine man and demanded his surrender.
There was brief parley. Lawton con-
temptuously refused to promise any
thing or to guarantee anything, except
that he and his followers would be fed.
"Maybe you will he hanged after

that. Anyhow, you ought to be. But

the Spanish infantryman said: I'VE do

1t was Lawton's reputation for dar-

his becoming internationally famous.
His characteristics We're known, of
course, to his superior officers as thor
onghly as they were known to the In-
dians whom he had been fighting for
dozen years. For the tenth time the
band of Chiricahua Apaches. headed
by Chief Naehes and directed by Ger
