Washington, Dec. 22.-The following
general order announcing to the army
the death of Gen. Lawton was issued
yesterday: with deep regret the Sec
rotary of war announces the death ON
the field of battle of Henry w. Lawton,
major general of volunteers. On April
IS, 1861, three days after President
Lincoln's first call for volunteers, at
the age of IS, he enlisted as private
in the 9th Indiana volunteers, He
served with his regiment in the army
Of the Tennessee throughout that war.
and at it's close was mustered out as
lieutenant colonel, after being brevet-
ted colonel for gallant and meritoriOus
service and awarded medal of honor
for distinguished gallantry He was
commissioned second lieutenant in the
regular army July %, 1866, and served
in the infantry until 1869, and then in
the cavalry until 1883, and thereafter as
inspector general. He was repeatedly
commended in general orders for vigil
ance and zeal, rapidity and persistence
in pursuit, for great skill, perseverance
and gallantry, in service on the from
tier against hostile Indians. Upon the
declaration of war with Spain he was
made brighter general and on July
following major of volunteers. His
nomination for brigadier general in
h.
termined upon and was ready
to be sent to the senate upon the
day of his DEATH In the Cuban cam
paign he rendered distinguished SER
vice in the battle before Santiago and
subsequently commanded the depart
ment of Santiago and the fourth army
corps. March 10, 1899, he assumed
command of the first division of the
Sth army corps in the Philippine
islands and remained in command of
this division in practically continuous
and most eventful service in the field
until he fell on Dec. IS, 1899, pierced by
an insurgent bullet while leading his
troops near San Mateo The swift re-
sistless movement of his column up the
RlO Grande and across northern and
central Luzon was the chief factor in
the destruction of the insurgent power
and the browning achievement of his
arduous life. He fell in the fullness of
his powers, in the joy of conflict, and
in the consciousness of assured victory.
He leaves to his comrades and country
the memory and example of dauntless
courage, unsparing devotion to duty,
manly character, and high qualities to
command, which inspired his troops
with his own indomitable spirit.
The flag will be placed at half mast
and thirteen minute-guns fired at every
post and station on the day
after the receipt of this order and the
usual badges of mourning be worn
thirty days"

Manila, Dec. 21.-Maj. General Law
tons body was brought from San Ma
teo to Manila Wednesday afternoon,
his staff and a squadron of cavalry act
ing as escort. The funeral will take
place from his late residence here, the
mansion formerly occupied by the
Spanish general. The body will be
placed temporarily in the vault at Ell
Pace cemetery, where many American
soldiers are inferred and a guard of
honor will be maintained. When Mrs.
LaWtOn and her four children shall
have completed their arrangements for
returning to the United States the re-
with an escort of officers, for final in
terment, probably in Arlington GEM
etery. LaWtOn's death has caused uni
versal sorrow in Manila. No Amerl-
can officer had greater popularity in all
ranks. In his dealings with the ma
confidence to a remarkable degree
The mayors whom he installed in
neighbOring towns are arranging to at
tend the funeral in a body. To his ex-
ecutive ability and personal leadership
are chiefly due the brilliant
execution of the plan of campaign
in north Luzon which scattered
the insurrectionary forces from
San Isidro to the gulf of Lingayen
That section of the island which had
to be observed during the worst sea-
son of this year, presented difficulties
considered almost insurmountaible, but
Lawton thoroughly covered the pro-
gram assigned him. When he reached
Tayug and found the other division
had not arrived, he went through to
Dagupan on his own responsibility.
Although he imposed great hardships
on his men, he invariably shared their
lot cheerfully. Thirteen Americans,
including three officers, were wounded
at San Mateo. 1t is estimated the in
surgents numbered 500 and half of
them were armed with rifles. The
Americans numbered / 300 but the COM
mand was much depleted by sickness.
The wagon train found the roads i'm
passable and was obliged to return.
The insurgents retreated to the north
east, leaving six dead. They have
other forces near Taytay. This re-
gion, although close to Manila, proved
the most difficult from which to dis
lodge the enemy. 1t is now reported
the insurgents Intend to concentrate
at Santa Cruz in the Laguna province,
in the district east of Laguna De Bay.

OPERATIONS OF CASHIER CAUSED
DANE BANK FAILURE.
RECEIVER REPORTS TODAY
Will Show That Bank Has Over Two
Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars
Nominal Assets and About One
Hundred Eighty Thusand of Liabili-
ties-Joice Probably in Mexico.
Madison, Dec. %.

Madison, Dec. p.
Gilbert E. Roe, receiver Of the Dane
County bank Of Stoughton, will file his
complete report of the assets and liza
bilities Of the defunct concern in the
circuit court this morning. The doc
ument will show that the cause of the
failure Of the bank was the specula-
tive bent Of it's cashier, d. H. Joice,
who sunk $4,000 of the banks funds
in the Lopez cattle ranch with I. O.
Brictson of Deerfeld. This money, he
says was taken direct from the banks
funds by Joice and all the receiver has
to show for it is Joice's stock in the
ranch. The report will show nominal
assets of $230,O0O to $24O,0OO, including
the JOice cattle ranch stock, but the
actual assets are probably not above
$150,OO0. The debts owned by the
bank foot $18O,OO0 and there is no
probability of the concern paying the
100 per cent. expected by many of it's
creditors unless the Joice cattle stock
proves Of value, a probability now
very remote. Joice is believed to be in
Mexico.

JONES PREDICTS VICTORY.
Democratic Chairman Says Prospects
Are Brighter Than in 49,

Chicago, Dec. Ex-senator James K.
Jones, chairman of the democratic
national committee, who is here, says
the prospects for democratic success
next year are brighter than in 1885,
He says only w. J. Bryan will be
mentioned for president in the con-
vention. With reference to next years
contest the senator said: "No doubt
the convention will reaffirm the Chi
Cago platform. 1t will declare against
imperialism and in favor of regulating
trusts. I think too it will condemn the
efforts, which have become too COM
mon, to control elections by use Of
money. In my opinion the passage of
the bill establishing the gold standard
will aid us greatly"

DEFECT IN THE CzAR's PLAN.
Lord Roberts of Kandahar Considers Dis.
armament lmpracticable.


London, Feb. Lord Roberts Of
Kandahar points out what he considers
a fatal defect in the cars disarmament
proposal. He says the barbarous out
number the civilized peoples by many
millions, and the arguments which
might induce civilized men to disarrn
would have no effect on the barbarians.
AS long as there are so many barbar-
ians force will be required to restrain
their uprisings against civilization. In
a. letter to w. T. Steads new peace
periodical, War Against War;" Lord
Roberts undoubtedly expresses the
general feeling of reflective soldiers
and men of affairs upon the actual
situation. Lord Roberts adds that while
experienced soldiers have no love for
war, whose enormous wastes and hard
ships they are In the best position to
realize, he believes disarmament i'm
practicable until civilized nations agree
to rest content with wnIt they have
and not to strive for any more, and I'M
til barbarism shall have given place
to civilization all over the world. What
would be the fate of the inhabitants Of
the civilized nations, he asks, IL they
should deprive themselves of means of
defense against the barbarians? What
would unarmed civilization do against
armed barbarians?
