Schurman of Cornell and the head of
the Philippine commission, in an inter-
view with an Associated Press repre-
sentative today, presented an eloquent
tribute to the late Gen. Lawton's mill
tary genius and character, and further
said:
His power determination, simple
straightforwardness and intuitive SYM
pathy made a combination of qualities
peculiarly effective for dealing with
our aliens.
From the moment of his arrival in
Manila he enjoyed the confidence and
affection Of Americans, as he soon won
not only the ear, but the respect of
the Filipinos. Fighter though he was,
no man more Loyalty or cordially
adopted the policy of conciliating the
Filipinos. That clear mind and sound
heart soon discerned that force was not
the sole solution of our problem there.
He heartily advocated displacement of
military power by civil government in
which the natives should manage their
own affairs throughout all the regions
in which American sovereignty has
been established.
Had he lived, think no man would
have contributed more to the pacifica-
ton of the Filipinos, which is the grave
problem confronting u.s."

Was imprisoned in Utah on
Charge of Rendering False
Report

Washington, Dec. 20.-The president
has granted full pardon to James A.
Bacon, who was convicted in 1896 and
sentenced to Imprisonment for seven
years in the Utah penitentiary, for
making false report to the comptrol-
Ter of the currency of the condition of
the national bank of Salt Lake City,
Utah, of which he was president.
The method of making his report, it
is asserted by the comptroller of the
currency and his predecessor, was well
nigh universal among banks, and was
well understood by the department and
until this time had not been the sub
ject of official complaint. They both
state that in their judgment Bacon was
innocent of any moral wrong, and that
he ought not to have been convicted.

GRIEF IN MANILA
All Classes Mourn Loss of the
Gallant LaWton - Body
Brought to City
LAID IN VAULT IN
Ell PAC0 CEMETERY
Final Burial Will Probably Be in
Arlington Cemetery in
Washington :.

Manila, Dec. 2O.-Gen. Lawton's body
was brought from San Mateo to Manila
this afternoon, his staff and squadron
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 formerly oc-
cupied by a Spanish general. The body
has been placed temporarily in a vault
in Ell Pace cemetery, where many of
the American soldiers have been inter
red, and guard of honor will be main
tanned.
When Mrs. Lawton and her four
children shall have completed their ar
engagements for returning to the United
States, the remains will be taken on a
transport, with an escort of officers for
final interment, as is thought probable
here, in Arlington cemetery.
SORROW IN MANILA.
Gen. Lawton's death has caused uni
versal sorrow in Manila. No American
officer had greater popularity among
all ranks; and, in his dealings with the
natives, he commanded their respect
and confidence to remarkable degree.
The mayors whom he installed in the
neighboring towns are arranging to at
tend the funeral in a body
To his executive ability and personal
leadership is chiefly due the brilliant
campaign in North Luzon, which has
scattered the insurrectionary forces
from San Isidro to the Guild of Liga-
yen. That section of the island, which
had to be traversed during the very
worst season of the year, presented
difficulties considered by all acquainted
with it to be almost insurmountable;
but Gen. Lawton thoroughly covered
the program assigned him. When he
reached Tayug and found that the other
division had not arrived, he went
through to Dagupan on his own respon-
sibility. Although he imposed great
hardships on his men, he invariably
shared their lot cheerfully.
THIRTEEN WOUNDED.
Thirteen Americans, including three
officers, were wounded in the engage
ment at San Mateo, where Gen. Lawton
was killed Capt. breckenridge wound
is not dangerous, although the bullet
penetrated his arm and side. 1t is es-
timated that the insurgents numbered
500 and that half of them were armed
with rifles. The Americans numbered
1900; but the command had been much
depleted by sickness. The wagon train
found the roads impossible and was
obliged to return.
The insurgents retreated to the north
east, leaving six dead. This region, al
though 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, Laguana province and in
the district east of Laguna Bay.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Mckinley Cables Sympathy to
LaWton'S Afflicted Widow

Washington, Dec. 20-The president
today sent the following to Gen. Otis:
Executive Mansion, Dec. 20.
Maj. Gen. Otis, Manila: I have
learned with inexpressible sorrow of
the death of Gen. Lawton, and ask to
share with the officers and men of the
Eighth corps in their grief. One of the
most gallant officers of the ARMY has
fallen. At the time the sad news came
to us, his nomination as brigadier gen
eral of the regular army was already
made for transmission to the Senate,
but no rank can enhance his fame. He
rose from the ranks of the Nineteenth
Indiana volunteers, filling every grade
in the service to that of major general
of volunteers, and in three wars was
conspicuous for bravery and devotion
to duty. The country mourns the
death Of this intrepid leader. Convey
to Mrs. Lawton my heartfelt sympathy
in her overshadowing aff1iction.
William Mckinley.
Secretary Root cabled as follows:
Otis, Manila: l join with the officers
and men of the Eighth army corps in
deepest regret over the death of their
heroic comrade, Cen, Lawton. 1 beg
you to convey to Mrs. Lawton. express
sion of my sincere sympathy. 1t was
the ideal death of a soldier, as his
splendid courage and devotion to duty
have met the ideal of a soldiers life.
The sad news will be announced to the
army and due ceremonies of respect
for his memory will be directed in gen
eral orders. Elihu Root

Lonu Deeply Grieved

Washington, Dec. 2O.-secretary
Long has uttered the following tribute
to Gen. Lawton's character:
"Gen. Lawton was in many respects
an ideal soldier, devoted to his duty
and of unqualified courage. He belongs
to that class whom the world desig-
mates the bravest of the brave He
made his reputation on the field saw
a good deal of him during the presi-
dents trip to Atlanta last winter and

you felt that if anything was to be
done, he was the man to do it,

New York, Dec. 20.-The entire pro-
of Roland B. Molineux for the murder
of Mrs. Katherine ]. Adams, were de-
voted to t examination of John F.
Tyrrell of Milwaukee, Wis, the hand
writing expert whose testimony yester-
day was interrupted by the adjourn
ment o; court
Mr. Tyrrells evidence was mainly
technical, being devoted to the pecu-
liarities in slants, curves, loops, pen
pressure" and 'pen-habits" of writings
which lie alleged were done by Molin-
eux. One of his points was that most
of the writing was vertical without
having any of the vertical styles usual
ly accompanying such writing. One of
his statements, which was in direct
contrast to evidence given by Villain
]. Kinsley, the other Handwriting eX-
pert, was in regard to the dotting of
the 81" Mr.. Tyrrell maintained that
the writer completed his word and Of
ten his sentence before returning with
his pen to dot the a. Mr.. Kinsley gave
it as his opinion that the writer stopped
to dot the "i'' before completing the
word.
EXPERTS DISAGREE.
Mr. Tyrrell brought out the point that
the writer of the poison package adj
dress could only write a certain dis
lance without lifting his hand or
changing the position of his pen. In
this connection he made comparisons
between the address on the poison
package. the bogus Cornish Harpster"
letter, and some writings admitted to
have been done by Molineux. He said
that similar words of all the exhibits
had the same "pen habits"
He also pointed out what he claimed
to be pertinent similarities in the for
nation of many of the letters, loops,
strokes, curves. When asked the
strength of his opinion that the defen-
dant wrote all the exhibits from which
the word "oblige" had been taken and
analysed, he said: LAS strong as any
thing terrestrial-as anything can be on
this earth" The examination proceeded
on these lines, taking up word by word
and phrase by phrase, until 4.40 p. M,
when court adjourned until tomorrow.
