FUTURE PEACE IN PHILIPPINES
Mnbini. Former Member of Filipino
Cabinet. Says 1t Depends Uron
what Americans Do.

MANILA, Dec 19-Mabini, formerly a
member of the Filipino cabinet, and one
of tho strongest and NEST intellectual of
the insurgents, said to a correspondent OF
the Associated Press at Manila today:
"The future peace of the Philippines de-
pends entirely upon the form of government
tho Americans establish. We are van
quished, we lacked food and munitions and
mismanaged cur affairs, But the spirit OF
independence is craving for recognition. The
individuality of the Filipino people still
lives If the government eventually estab-
lished here is liberal secure and free the
satisfaction and contentment of the people
will result and there will be no trouble.
"If it is otherwise, the people will be dis
satisfied and will aid revolutionary move
ment, which will surely occur sooner or
later Without the peoples support such
movement is impossible. Everything de-
pends on what the Americans do. The sub
sequent guerrilla warfare will be easily ter
minated, If the people do not support It.,
which they will not do if they are satisfied.
Otherwise it will be possible to proong 1t
indefinitely
II believe the Filipino people should be
consulted as to the nature and details of the
government to be established. If the war
results in .he recognition of our desires,
rights and necessities as a people to be gov
erned it will not have been in vain"
Mabini spoke unoffcially, expressing his
own opinions.
The Panay insurgents have been driven
out of the island by General Hughes and
are passing to Negroes where they are court
ing trouble. Two hundred recent arrivals
there from Panay ambushed Lieutenant A.
c. Ledyard with a party of fifteen men of
the Sixth infantry, 1t was in this fight
that Lieutenant Ledyard was killed, falling
at the second volley.

KINGS TRIBUTE no DEAD GENERAL.
Much Depressed at Hearing of Death
m LLia INnrIllnr N ~ mlcr

of His Former Commander.
MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Dec. 19--General
Charles King. who commanded brigade
in General Lawton's division w to June
last in the war against the Filipinos, was
much depressed on hearing OF the death
of his former commander. General King
paid a warm tribute to the dead general in
the following words
"The death of Genera Lawton is a
calamity, yet one that have been in dread
of ever since he took command of our di-
vision last March. In point of dash, energy
and endurance we was our best. His one
fault lay in his utter contempt for danger.
We could not prevail upon him to use
cover or shelter of any kind. He was per-
petually running into every kind of danger,
exposing himself to death or danger when
there was no need Of it. He wanted to see
everything for himself and would stalk out
in front of the lnee, the most prominent
figure on the field We loved hm-we al
ways have, ever since old cavalry days when
he was the hardest and most daring of all
the band of young officers that won dis
tinction under Crook, Miles and Merritt.
He was Mackenzes right bower and his
later work in the Philippines was incom-
parable. AS friend and c9mrade he was as
lovabe as he was great and heroic as a
soldier"

-" the Dead General.

The news of Lawtons death came as a
shock to local army officials, among whom
he was held in the highest esteem. General
H. c. Merriam, commanding the Department
of the Missouri and an old Comrade in arms
of Lawton, who arrived here from Denver on
Monday, spoke in warmest terms of the dead
soldiers career. For personal gallantry

magnificent soldier he had no superior in
the army. During the two years from 1869
to 1871 Lawtcn was regimental quartermaster
and | was major of the Twenty fourth in
fantry assigned to duty along the Mexican
border, ....
"In those days, before the influence Of
Diaz had been felt in Mexico, the border
country was infested with all manner of

business for the. soldiers. Tho troops made

dian fighting tactics which eventually re-
suited in the complete rout Of the rebels
The generals next hard fighting took
place in his attack on san Rafael, where
the American troops were met with heavy
fire from a large number ot rebels, who
were concealed in the jungle on all sdce.
Only the adoption by General Lawtou OF
the tactics followed in Indian fighting in
the United States, every man for himself,
saved the division from great loss. AS
usual General Lawton was at the head Of
his line with his staff.
After the capture of Isdro by General
Lawton President Mckinley sent him the
following dispatch
'To Otis, Manila: Convey to General
LaWtOn and the gallant men Of his COM
mand my congratulations on the successful
operations during the last month, resulting
In the capture Of san lsidro, .-...,.,.,..,
CIVILIAN M'KINLEH.'
1t was announced June l that General
Lawton had been placed in command Of
the defense of Manila and the troops form
ing the line around that city. Early in Oc-
tober General Lawton was engaged in dis
persing the insurgents and cutting off the
communication maintained by them between
Bacoor and linus, by means of the road
between those places. He was successful
was several times under fire. He then
pushed northward, captured a number o.
towns and drove the insurgents everywhere
before him.
General Lawton and General Young ar
rived at Arayat October 10, with force
of about 5000 men. He next made his head
quarters at Cabanatuan and took an active
part in dispensing the insurgent bands in
different parts of the country.
About the middle of November the where
abouts of General Lawton and General
Young, on account of the rapdity of their
movements, became almost as mysterious
as that Of Aguinaldo General Lawtons
troops suffered considerable hardship in this
series of energetic movements. Numbers
of the soldiers and even some of the officers
were described as marching half naked,
their clothes being torn to shreds in get
ting through the jungle, hundreds of them
were barefooted and all of them were liv-
ing on any sort of provisions. Bread was
rare and Caracoa meat and bananas were
the staples. The general was at Tayug on
December l, his troops having captured
large quantities of insurgents supplies.
Later he returned to Manila and started
December Is to capture San Mateo, where
he was shot and killed.

We attended the Fort Wayne public schools

an Indianian. The resolution was unanl
