probability be that Of the raives and not
of the Beers.
Even If the Beers are suppressed an1
English supremacy established in a very
short time, the natives viii sta be left 10
deal with. They are not causing much
trouble yet, but there are many signs that
they will put England in difficult posi-
ticn at no distant day. Traders who come
from the North think now that afi ier

almost all of the British and Ameri-
can subjects in Mashonaland have been
compelled to take refuge IN krGals or for
tilted camps as a direct result of the war.
The natives IN that part Of Rhodesia are
very strong and since the beginning OF
the war they have become restless. The
whites fear them much more than they
fear the Beers IN that region, and expect

CAUSED SORROW IN MANILA.
NATIVES, TOO, MOURN THE DEATH
OF GEN. LAWTON.

Funeral VIII Take Place From His
Late Residence in ManiIa-Body

TranspOrt-Thirteen Americans
Were Wounded in the Same Fight.
Insurgents Are Now Expected to
Concentrate Near SANTA Cruz.
Manila, Dec. 90 s p. m.-Maj. Gen. Law
tons body was brought from San Mateo
to Manila this afternoon, his staff and a
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 occu-
pied by Spanish general. The body has
been placed temporarily in vault in El
Paco Cemetery, where many of the Amerl-
can soldiers have been inferred and a
guard of honor will be maintained.
When Mrs. Lawton and her four chill
dren shall have completed their arrange
ments for returning TO the United States
the remains will be taken on transport
with an escort of officers for final inter-
ment as is thought probable here, in Ar
lington Cemetery.
Gen. Lawtons death has caused unlver-
sal sorrow in Manila. No American Of
ficer had greater popularity among all
ranks and in his deqllngs with the natives
he commanded their respect and conf
dence to a remarkable degree. The mayors
whom he installed in the neghborlng
towns are arranging to attend the funeral

Campaign in Northern LuzOn.
To his executive ability and personal
leadership is chiefly due the brilliant ex-
ecution of the plan of campaign in North
Luzon, which has scattered che iusurrec-
tionary forces from san Isidro to the Gulf
of Lingayen. That section of the island
which had to be traversed during the very
worst season Of the year, presented diff
hculties considered by all acquainted wi h
1t 10 be almost insurmountable, but Gen.
Lawton thoroughly covered the progT anime
assigned him.
When he reached Tayug and found that
the other division had not arrived, he went
through 10 Dagupan on his own RESPONSE
bility. Although he imposed great hard
ships on his men, he invariably shared
their lot cheerfu,sy.
The American Casualties.
Thirteen Americans, including three off,
GERS, were wounded in the engagement at
San Mateo, where Gen. Lawton was killed.
Capt. Breckenridge's wound is not con-
sidered dangerous, although the bullet
penetrated his arm and side.
1t is estimated that the insurgents num-
bered SEQ and that half of them were arm
ed with rifles. The Americans numbered
1900 but the command had been much de-
pleted by sickness.
The wagon train found the roads i'm
passable and was obliged 10 return.
The insurgents retreated to the north
east, leaving six dead.
They have other forces near Taytay.
This region, although close to Manila has
proved the most difficult from which to dis
lodge the enemy. 1t Is now reported that
the insurgents intend to concentrate at
Santa Cruz, Laguna province, and in the
district east of Laguna de Bay.
The American secret service reports that

CONDEMNS ENGLAND's STAND.
DR.. GOIdwin smith Talks on the war
in south Africa.

New York, Dec. 2l.-A special to the
World from Toronto says:
DR.. Goldwin Smith condemns the stand
taken by Great Britain in the South Afrl-
can war in no uncertain words.
He quotes from letter received from a
highly educated English gentleman, with
the sentiment of his class, who deplores
the war as unJustihed, as the rulnation of
harmony among the races and implanting
in the breast of the the Boer inextinguish-
able hatred of Great Britain, the only re-
deeming feature of the war being that il
sounds the death knell of imperial feder-
aticn, as no colony would be found to
unite In a political scheme which would
put 1t at the mercy Of every Informed
passion that might for a moment agitate
the central power.
DR.. Smith says:
My ccrrei po, dent might have remarked
that it is not even by gust of popular
passion that we have been swept into war,
but by the Vaccinations of two men, enc
of the two beir & known as much for his
Inscriptions ambition than he is for his
abifity, and the other being Cecil Rhodes.
THE alking horse of 'enfranchisement
for the outlar rs having served its pur-
pose has ben laid aside and replaced by
British supremacy in South Africa
ne pfetense OF human right under
which the clerical abettors of the war shell
ter themselves has been laid aside, the
watchword now being equality for all
white men, while the brown men, vastly
outnumberng the whites are phllanthropic-
ally consigned to indefinite bondage.
AS it is, the end Is certain, and by this
time may practically have come. Yet the
stand which this little farmer common
wealth has made for it's independence
against the banded force of a worldwide
empire backed by the diplomatic encour-
agement of the great Powers, including
the American republic, has hardly par
allel in history

Chairman burton Says There May He
None This Session


Washington, Dec. 2O,-Chairman Burton
of the River and Harbor Committee, au-
thorized the following statement to-day:
There viii probably be no river and
harbor bill at the present session. One
strong argument against a bill is the fact
that the engineer force will be occupied
during the coming year with projects al
ready provided for In many cases plans
for improvements are not even completed
In other cases no bids have yet been made
Another fact of Importance is the In
crease in the price Of material In the last
year. Some of the projects already au-
thorized cannot be completed FOR the
amounts estimated by the engineers. OF
course the demands upon the treasury and
the amount OF revenue are facts to be
taken into consideration, although | do not
mean to say that river and harhor Inn
provements are less important than 9th
ers. II Is only because, contrary to usual
custom, the bin was passed during the
last session of the last Congress-
II recognize. however, that on many
accounts IL is preferable that the bill be
considered at this session. There is so
Lar ge an amount of detail, and, besides, the
settlement Of disputed questions arising
from amendments OF the Senate make IL
desirable 20 have plenty OF time. This is
hardly possible during the short session.
Also there are several projects OF urgent
importance, among them are the improve
menl of the Southwest pass of the Missls-
sippi the deepening of the De aware river
below Philadelphia and che providing of
further facilities In the channels between
Lake Superior ana Lake Huron. The con-
unuing contracts on the Mississippi river
run out June 30. 1900. These are The argu-
ments on both sides, but as I have sa d,
there will probably be no river and harbor
bill this session"

liminary injunction to restrain the defend

summating the consolidation of the rail-
roads OF the Seahoard Air Line system

Alabama roads.
After argument by counsel lasting untn
after midnight, Judge Waddll held that
there was no case for preliminary injunc-
tion to restrain the defendants as sought
especially TO restrain the voting Of tho
stock Of The Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad
Company at its meeting of stockholders
OF the 2lst instant 0o-morrow) at Raleigh,
especially as IL Is a corporation OF the

heard on Dec. q. In Richmond, at which
time all the questions in the case will be
considered with leave 10 parties to file

be no interference with the stockholders

ings in to-day's session of the trial of Roll
and b. Molineux for the murder of Mrs
Katherine j. Adams we're devoted to the
examination of John r. Tyrrell of Mil
waukee, a handwriting expert.
Although Mr.. Tyrrell's evidence was
mainly technical, being devoted to the pc
culiarities in slants curves, loops, pen
pressure" and "pen habits of writings,
which he alleged were done by Molineux.
II was by no means tedious and the jur-
ors asked him questions and appeared
deeply interested.
Mr.. Tyrrell brought out the point that
the writer of the poison package address
could only write a certain distance with
out lifting his hand or changing the posi-
tlon OF his pen. In this connection he
made comparisons between the address on
the poison package, the bogus Cornish
Harpster" letter and some writings admit
ted to have been done by Molineux. He
said that similar words of all the exhibits
had the same pen habits"
Mr.. Tyrrelrs study Of the exhibits, he
declared, led him to this conclusion:
THE same hand wrote the poison pack
age as wrote the admitted handwriting and
the Cornish and Harpster letters"

Senator Bacon one of the new Democrat

seek to delay the reporting of it to the
Senate. His opposition was directed to-
wards the acquisition by this country of
the island of Tutuila, and his opposition
to that was based upon the contention
that the consent of the islanders should
be first secured.
He was met on this proposition with the
statement that the natives were nothing
more than wandering tribes and with the
argument that the United States could not
