wars, whether waged in Africa, the
Philippines or elsewhere" greatly en-
danger the liberties of the conquered
peoples. The declaration closed with
a reitcration of a sentiment previously
adopted in another form: "That we are
opposed to any increase of the standing
army of the United States beyond %, 900
officers and enlisted men," The ex-
ecutive council of the federation was
directed to use every means to carry out

of action and of splendid courage, but
was not considered reckless. The In
dams came to know him as the most
active, vigilant, wary and determined
of foes and his pursuit and capture of
Geronimo, the famous Apache chief
tain, has gone down to history as one
of the most remarkable campaigns ever
undertaken with the small force in
hand. General Miles picked out Law
ton to lead the chase after the Indian
chief aad for three months, day and
night, without a pause, through all
sorts Of vicissitudes of weather and per-
sonal suffering, Lawton hung on the
trail like bloodhound until the game
was brought to earth, and for the first
time in quarter of century south
eastern Arizona was pacified.

LONDON, Dec. 2O.-The government
has at last consented to mobilize force
which General Butler is credited with
having demanded all along, namely, TO-
600 mounted infantry. This morning
the war office issued an order to the ef
feet that the government had decided to
raise for South Africa Il mounted infan-
try force, to be called "Imperial Ieo-
manry,' and to be recruited from yeo-
manry, volunteers and civilians possess
ing the requisite qualifications. All
must be good riders and markSmcn.
These arrangements are expected to
result in Il con siderable force The en-
rolled strength of the yeomanry forces,

plain that these arc severely censored
and il is still impossible to get an accu-
rate idea OF the battle. From the latest
accounts, however, it appears that Gen

A correspondent of the Associated
Press ut Chicveley camp says the Beers
excuse themselves for firing on the
strctchcr bearers by asserting that two
squads Of the COnnaught rangers took

Cross and that this act drew the Boer
fire, three being killed and several
wounded.
Much anxiety is caused by the fact
that the war Office has not received a

The Standard hints editorially this
morning that if Portugal continues to
allow supplies Of war material and for
eign volunteers to reach the Transvaai
through Delagoa bay England will have
something to say in the matter.
Statements are published from Boer
sources in Brussels and Berlin that

Particulars of LawtOn's Death.

MANILA, Dec. 19.-General Iawton
started from Manila last night with
cavalry under Captain LOckett and bat
talions of the Twenty. fifth and Twenty
seventh infantry under Lieutenant
Colonel Sargent, for the purpose of cap
turing San Mateo, where Geronomo
was said to have 300 insurgents.
Accompanied by his staff and troop l,
Fourth cavalry, General Lawton set out
at 8 o'clock in advance Of the main force,
which started from La Iona at mid
night With small escort, he led the
way through an almost painless coun-
try, distance Of Is miles, over hills
and through canebrake and deep mud,
the horses climbing the rocks and slid
ing down the hills. Before daybreak the
command had reached the head of the
valley San Mateo was attacked at s
o'clock and 3-hours' fight ensued.
This resulted in but few casualties on
the American side, apart from the death
OF General Lawton, but the attack was
difficult, because of the natural defenses
OF the town. General Lawton was
walking along the firing line within 800
yards of small sharpshooters' trench,
conspicuous in the big white helmet he
always wore and light yellow rain
coat. He was also easily distinguish
able because Of his commanding stature
The sharpshooters directed several
close shots, which clipped the grass
nearby. His staff officer called General
Lawton's attention to the danger he
was in, but he only laughed with his
usual contempt for bullets.
Suddenly he exclaimed, II am shot, "
clincIling his hands in a desperate effort
to stand erect, and fell into the arms Of
Il staff officer. Orderlies rushed across
the field for surgeons, who dashed up
Immediately, but their efforts were use
less. The body was taken to a clump
of bushes and laid upon stretcher, the
familiar white helmet covering the face
of the dead general.
Almost at this moment, the cheers Of
the American troops rushing into San
Mateo were mingling with the rifle vol
leys. After the fight six stalwart cav
alrymen &orded the river to the town,
carrying the litter on their shoulders,
the staff preceding with the colors and
cavalry escort following.
Owing to the condition Of the coun'
try, which is impossible so far as We
hicles are concerned, the body could not
be brought to Manila today. Mrs. Law
