as Cornell won, shutting out the Columbia
team by score of 20 to 0. Fully 80 900 per-

was forced to retire and soon afterwards
Cornell scored.
The second half was full of good plays
and hard work in which Columbia was at
times unfortunate. Cornell was always the
stronger, and ran her score up to 90 At the
end of the game Columbia had failed to
tally a point.

GENERAL LAwToN.

less He never exposed his men without due consideration of the risks and the stake. His men knew this and would unhesitatingly follow his lead under what seemed to be the most desperate condi- tions.
 The Indians came to know him as the most active, vigilant, wary and deter mined of foes, and his pursuit and cap ture of Geronimo, the famous Apache chieftain, has gone down to history as one of the most remarkable campaigns ever undertaken with the small force in hand. General Miles picked ont Lawton to lead the chase after the Indian chief, and for three months, day and night, without a pause, through all sorts of vicissitudes of weather and personal suf- fering, Lawton hung on to the trail like a bloodhound until the game was run to earth, and for the first time in a quarter of a century southesstern AriSona was paoifed. Secretary Root and the presi- dent each expressed his profound grief at the confirmation of the repott of the death of the gallant general.
 General Lawton served in the Union army throughout the war, having entered the service as sergeant of Company E, Ninth Indiana volunteer infantry, In April, 1881. He was successively pro- noted through merit on the field of bat tie to first lieutenant of the Thirtieth In- diana infantry in August, 1891; to cap tain in May, 1862, and to lieutenant colonel in November, 1864. In March, 1885, he was brevetted colonel for gal lant and meritorious service during the war.
 He entered the regular establishment in July, 1866, as second lieutenant of the Forty-frst infantry, colored. Later he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel and held that rank until the open ing of the war with Spain, when Presi- dent Mckinley appointed him brigadier general of volunteers and assigned him to the command of division of the Fifth army corps, commanded by Gen eral Shafter
 He was chosen for the important work of commanding the division which began the main operations against Santiago by taking Fl Caney. He performed valuable services throughout the Santiago cam paign. For his gallantry at El Clancy he was promoted major general of volun- teers July &, 1898.
 On General Lawton's arrival at Manila he relieved General Anderson in com mand of the regular troops. He captured Santa Cruz, at the extreme end of tho lake near Manila, April 10. This place, which was a Filipino stronghold, fell into the hands of General Lawton's expedi- tion after some sharp fighting, which formed one of the most interesting bat ties of the war.
