STORIES OF GEN. LAYTON

Major General Henry W. Lawton,
who has been given charge of our newly
created military district known as the
department Of Santiago, has had ca.
reer fully as interesting as that of al.
most any officer in the army with the
possible exception of some of the civil
war generals
Lawton may be said to bea hero Of
three wars AS a soldier in the Union
army he certainly did heroic work, for
he went to the front as sergeant and
was brevetted colonel before he was
mustered into the regular army in 1866.
In Cuba 1t was Lawton who led the
advance on Santiago and opened the big
battle by taking Ell Caney from an over
whelmingly superior Spanish force.
There will be no uncertainty about
the manner in which General Lawton
will run things in the department of
Santiago. He will give out his orders,
and then Cubans, Spanish and Ameri-
cans will abide by them. If they don't,
there will be trouble. In all his meth.
DDS of thought and action Lawton is
direct. He will doubtless be great
shock to the diplomacy loving Spanish
residents who may try to influence him.
He always says what he thinks. He
obeys implicitly the orders of superior
officers, and he expects subordinates to
obey his in the same way.
He has strong sense of justice, but
his temper is terrific, and no is not gen.
tie. He requires of subordinates the ut
most endeavor, and gets it. He asks no
one to do work that he is not competent
and willing to do himself. Naturally a
leader, he goes first, and the more diff
cult or desperate the undertaking the
faster he goes.
He is 0 feet inches high. He weighs
210 pounds, and nearly every ounce of
it is bone and blood and tendon and
muscle. He is 90 years old and as
springy as n youth. His capacity to go
without food, drink or sleep is seeming.

Apparently he is as powerful and

was more than ten years ago. He had
