GEN. LAW1ON MEETS DEATH.

Major-General Henry ". LawtOn
was shot and killed at San Mateo, Lu-
con, Tuesday morning. He was stand
Ing in front OF his troops, was shot
in the breast and died Immediately.
General Lawton left home Monday
night, having returned from his north
ern operations Saturday TO lead an eX-
petition through MariqUina Valley,
which has been an insurgent strong
hold throughout the war. The valley
has several times been invaded, but
never held by the Americans. General
Geronimo was supposed TO have there
the largest organized fort north OF
Manila, and General Otis wished to
garrison Mariquina.
The night was one of the worst OF
the season. \ terrific rain had begun
and is still continuing. Accompanied
by his staff and Troop |. Fourth Cav

o'clock in advance of the main force,
consisting OF the Eleventh Cavalry and
one battalion each of the Twentieth
and Twenty-seyenth Infantry, which
started from La Iona at midnight.
With a small escort he led the way
through on almost painless country, a
distance Of fifteen miles over hills and

intrepid LawtOn. The entire command
was stricken with grief, as though
each man had suffered personal loss.
Owing to the condition Of the coun-
try, which is impossible so far as vehi-
Giles are concerned, the remains could
not be brought TO Manila. Mrs. Law
ton and the children are living in a
government residence formerly occu-
pied by a Spanish general. San Mateo
lies between a high mountain behind
and a broad, shallow stream in front.
with wide sandbaTs which the insur-
gent trenches and the buildings COM
mand. The Americans were compelled
to ford the river under fire.
1t was while they were lying in the
rice fields and volleying across prepar-
atory TO passing the stream that Cen
eral Lawton was shot. All except tie
officers were behind cover. \ staff Of
Ger was wounded about the same
time. and one other officer and seven
men were wounded After three hours
shooting the Filipinos were dispersed
into the mountains. Colonel LOckett
took command when General LawtOn
fell.

commanding stature.
The sharpshOoterS directed several
close shots which clipped the grass
