In Manila Thirteen Americans
Wounded-The Situation ut the Front.

MANILA, Dee. 21.-Major General
Lawton's body was brought from San
Meteo 10 Manila. this afternoon, his
staff and a body OF cavalry acting as
escort. 1t was found necessary to
bridge the river.
The funeral will take place from his
late residence here, a mansion former
Iy occupied by a Spanish general.
The body has been placed temper
arily in a vault in El Pace cemetery.
where many of the American soldiers
have been inferred and a guard OF
honor will be maintained.
When Mrs. Lawton and her four
children have completed their arrange
ments for returning TO the United
States the remains will be taken on a
transport with an escort Of officers
for final irterment. as is thought prob
able here, in Arlington cemetery.
General Lawton's death has caused
universal sorrow in Manila. Nc

a body.
To his executive ability and personal
leadership is chiefly due the brilliant
execution of the plan CT campaign in
north Luzon, which has scatterd the
inSurrectionary forces from San IsidrO
to the Gulf of Lingayen. That section
of the island which had TO be trav-
erse during the very worst seson Of
the year presented difficulties consid-
cred by all acquainted with it to pc
almost insurmCuntabie, but General
Lawton thoroughly covered the pro
gram assigned him.

that the other division had not ar
rived he went through to Dagupan on
is own responsibility. Although he
imposed great hardship on his men he
Invariably shared their lot cheerily.
Thirteen American officers, includ-
ing three officers, were wounded in the
engagement at San Mateo, where Gen
eral LawtOn was killed. Captain
Breckenridge's wound is not consid-
cred dangerous, although the bullet
penetrated his arm and side.
1t is estimated that the insurgents
numbered 500 and half OF them were
armed with rifles. The Americans
numbered 1900, but the command had
been much depleted by sickness.
The wagon trains found the roads
impossible and was obliged to return.
The insurgents retired to the north
east 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 in
tend to concentrate at Santa Cruz.

MONUMENT TO LAWTON
It l. Proposed to Be Erected by the
People of Indiana.
MEETS MRS. lAWTOk'S APPROVAL
The General VIII Probably &c Buried at
Arlington-indicat Ted In a Cabiegram
From Lieutenant Col. Edwards to In
d~ianapolis Papers-Fund for Family is
Growing Large.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 23.-One of
the afternoon papers early this morn
ing wired Mrs. Lawton:
"Will you accept a monument from
the people of Indiana"
Later in the morning the following
reply was received from Lieutenant
Colonel Edwards, chief of staff, acting
for Mrs. Lawton, and who has been
designated to bring the body To this
country:
Yes. Arlington"
In addition to $3.50 raised in tits
city for Mrs. Lawton, there has been
subscribed already $525 toward a mon
ument for General Lawton. Bass post,
Grand Army of the Republic, at Fort
Wayne, tonight set a day for a mass
meeting for popular subscriptions to
the monument fund and formulated a
request to Mrs. Lawton, asking that
the body be buried at his old home
there.
Judge r. S. Taylor of Fort Wayne
is here. General Lawton was a law
student in his Office after the civil
war. Said he:
HE was the man l looked to SUBJ
due the natives. If England had some
generals like him the British soldiers
would not be caught in any more
Boer traps"
A call was issued today by the
president of the Indianapolis Board
of Trade for a meeting of the board
of governors tomorrow afternoon.
when formal action on the Lawton me-
mortal will be taken and q cmmittee
will be named to act in conjunction
with the committee named by Presi-
dent English Of the Commercial club.
At Richmond a mass meeting was
held today to start a movement to
raise a fund for the erection of a
monument to the memory of General
Lawton in Indianapolis. All of the
Grand Army of the Republic posts of
the city met last night and adopted
resolutions. Nearly all of them vol
unteered subscriptions either to the
monument or aid fund, OF both.
From the general interest evinced
in the two movements it is believed
Indiana will raise $4,000 for the
monument in a week or more and a
sum over half as large will be raised
for Mrs. Lawton. Three newspapers
of the city are featuring the funds
and devoting their first pages to their
fu~rtherance.

A Boston Man Pleased.

In conversation with some friends,
q prominent Boston man told of his
sufferings from rheumatism and neT-
vousness, and n of his friends gave
him some advice, which will be men
toned later, and which has proven
to be Of incalculable value.
To successfully act on this advice,
it was necessary to make a trip of
over 1000 miles. but he undertook it,
and now thanks his friend for the
advice, as he finds himself fully re-
lieved of his old trouble and has re-
turned to his home feeling able to
cope with his business demands, a
new man.
The advice given was to go to Hot
Springs" South Dakota, and there
take the baths and ENJOY the finest eli
mate of any health resort in America.
If this man was satisfied after max
ing a long trip, those residing within
q few hundred miles and similarly af-
ficted can certainly afford to try 1t,
or rather can't afford to neglect to
try it.

The Farm beats the Mortgage.

There is a story from Buffalo County
going the rounds that illustrates the
OF a Nebraska farm: A farm
err up there from Missouri got discour-
aged because he didn't get rich the first
year, and as there was a mortgage OF
$500 on his farm, was about ready to
jump the whole business, but deter
mined to make one more effort and
sowed eighty acres in wheat. 1t hap
pened to be a poor year for wheat and
the stand was not very good. Conclud-
ing that it wasn't worth harvesting he
pulled up his stakes and moseyed back
to Missouri, leaving the farm to fight
the mortgage all by itself. The farm
was equal to the occasion.
The wheat ripened, fell down and de
posted the seed in the soil again. Next
spring the wheat began to grow lus-
tily. Some of the neighbOrs were hon
est enough TO write about it down to
the fugitive in Missouri, and he got in
terested enough TO come back and take
a look. Then he stopped and harvested
his voluntary crop. He sold it for
enough to pay off the mortgage and
the rest of his debts and had a tidy lit
tie surplus over, with which he moved
his family back and now declares there
is no state like Nebraska.-Lincoln

CARNEGIE OPfNS ms PURSE,
OG,rs TO Make the city of Lincoln Pref
emit of u Library building.

Or,rs TO Make the city of Lincoln Pref
ent of II Library building.
WASHINGTON. &C. 22.-Chairman
Mercer of the public buildings and
grounds committee today received a
letter from Andrew Carnegie announc-
ing hat he would give $4,000 to the
city of Lincoln for a public library
building, the Lincoln library having
burned down in the disastrous fire OF
several months ago.
The conditions surrounding this gift,
Mr.. Mercer believes, will be the same
as those eXacted from other cities,
Washington, Fairfield. Ia, Savannah
and Pittsburg, that the city must do
nate Il site and guarantee a certain
yearly sum for its maintenance, which
will probably amount to $4,000.
This is the most munifcent Christ
mas gift the state of Nebraska has
ever received and will he, undoubtedly,
accepted by the municipality OF Lin
coin. Carnegie has given in this way
upwards of $4,000, 900 for Libraries
throughout the United States.
LINCOLN, Dee. 22.-Members of
the Lincoln Public library board have
been corresponding with Andrew Car
negie for several weeks with a view to
securing a donation for the contsruc-
ton of a library building, and although
he spoke encouragingly of the plan
from the start, it was not known till
tonight that their efforts had met with
success. 1t is supposed that the gift
is made conditional on the city OF Lin
coin, making an annual appropriation
of a specified sum for maintaining the
library and purchasing new books and
periodicals, and that it shall furnish
a suitable site for the building, all OF
which will undoubtedly be complied
with by the city council.
The Lincoln public library was de-
stroyed by fire with the Masonic Tenn
pie building three months ago. Since
then about 5000 volumes have been col
lected for a new library and the avail
able funds remaining in the treasury
amount to about $4,000. The annual
levy made by the city council for the
library is / mill. which brings in a rev
enue of only S. 900 a year. Unless the
conditions are such that they cannot be
complied with by the council, the dona-
ton, will, of course, be accepted.
