The troops filed bareheaded through

STATE NEWS NOTES
MATTERS OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO
IOWA PEOPLE.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 22.-the state
board Of control has caused sensa-
ton by its publication of detailed re.
ports on the condition of insane asy-
lums Of nearly thirty counties in Iowa.
The board Is required by law to inves-
tigate these establishments. Its re-
ports are made In much detail and
some of them are hardly fit for print
ing.
They indicate fearful condition of
affairs. In some counties men and
women are herded together indis-
criminately and no expert care or
regular medical attendance is afforded.
The expose of those conditions has
determined legislators to make q
strong fight for law to entirely abol-
fish county asylums and compel all
insane to be maintained in state In
situations.

Governor and Citizen of Iowa Disagree
Regarding Certain Lands.
Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 23.-Wilson L.
Ogden, of Woodbury. county, has be-
gun mandamus proceedings to compel
Governor Shaw to request the federal
government to patent to the state GER
tain lands in Woodbury. county which
Ogden claims are swamp lands within
the meaning of the law. If these are
held to be swamp lands the state must
give them to the county in which they
are located and Ogden has arranged to
buy them from the county in case 1t
secures them. The governors de-
mand that they be set off as swamp
lands is the only thing needed.
The governor has refused to take
this action, claiming that such lands
are not swamp and should belong to
the state rather than to the counties.
The matter will be tried to the highest
courts and it will be decided wheth-
err all the partially dried lakes in the
state belong to the state or the coun-
ties. Spectators have done an i'm
mensely profitable business heretofore
in these lands.

GEN. II. w. LAYTON.

onomO was supposed to have there the
largest organized force nor.h of Ma
Mia, and General Otis wished to gar
rison Mariquina. The night was one
Of the worst of the season. A terrific
rain had begun and it still continuing.
Lawton Led the Way.
Accompanied by his staff and troop
I, Fourth cavalry, General Lawton set
out at 8 o'clock In advance of the main
force, consisting of the Eleventh
cavalry and one battalion, each of the
Twentieth and Twenty-seventh in
fantry, which started from La Iona
at midnight. With small escort he
led the way through an almost path
less country a distance Of fifteen miles
over hills and through canebrakes and
deep mud, the horses climbing the
rocks and sliding down the hills. Be-
fore daybreak the command had
reached the head of the valley. San
Matoe was attacked at s o'clock and
three 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 defense Of the
town.
Laughed at the En@my's Bullets.
General Lawton was walking along
the firing line within 300 yeards of a
small sharpshooters' trench, conspicu-
GUS in the big white helmet he always
wore. and light yellow raincoat. He
was also easily distinguishable because
Of his commanding stature. The
sharpshooters directed several close
shots, which clipped the grass nearby.
His staff ocers called General Law
toms attention to the danger he was
In, but he only laughed with his usual
contempt for bullets. Suddenly he ex-
claimed: ~ am shotv' clenched his
his hands In desperate effort to stand
erect, and fell into the arms of stan
officer.
Died ut the Moment Of Victory.
Orderlies rushed across the field for
surgeons who dashed up Immediately,
but their efforts were useless. The
body was taken to clump of bushes
and laid upon a strecher, 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 volleys. After the fight
six stalwart cavalrymen forded the
river to the town carrying the litter on
their shoulders, the staff preceding
with the eolors, and cavalry escort
