ment to-day announcing the death of

London, Dec. 81, 4:45 a. m.-The
gravity OF the military situation is
again becoming accentuated in the pub
TIC mind, owing to the complete abb
sence Of news. Nothing has been heard
from Lord Methuen since Sunday, and
IL is feared that his communications
nave been cut. If this be so, his posi-
ton is dangerous.
a correspondent of the Daily News,
telegraphing from Modder river last
Saturday, says:
Inc Boer position, already formid-
able on December H. has since been
greatly strengthened, extending for an
area of IL miles. 1t is entrenched ac-
cording to the most modern methods
throughout its entire length: wire
fences have been placed before all the
tienches at every point, guns have
oeen got into position, and there is ev-
cry evidence that the Beers are well
supplied with ammunition. Only pow
erful attacking force can hope to make
successful attack"

was transacted at the brief session of
the house to-day. The time was occu-
pied in filibuster against a motion

Three-fourths of the seats in the
house were empty, a majority of the
members having already left for their
homes to spend the holidays.
After the reading of the journal,
Payne moved adjournment. The demo-
Gratis, in spirit OF good nature, voted
against the motion, and with dissenting,
republicans, defeated the motion on q
rising vote. Thereupon Mr.. Payne de-
manded the ayes and noes. The motion
was defeated, the vote resulting ayes
81, noes 103.
When the announcement of the de-
feat of the motion was made, Mr.
Payne demanded the regular ORDER
which was the call of the commits
tees.
Mr. Grow asked unanimous consent
to make statement in response to
some remarks of Mr.. Gaines of Ten
nessee yesterday, but Mr.. Payne in
sisted upon his demand.
The democrats enjoyed the discomfi-
ture of the majority and Mr.. Under

CIVILIAN M'KINLEY"

Secretary Root cabled as follows:
War Department, Dec. 20, 1S99.-
Otis, Manila: l Join with the officers
and men of the Sth army corps in deep
est regret over the death of their heroic
comrade, General Lawton. I beg you
to convey to Mrs. Lawton expressions
of my sincere sympathy. 1t was the
ideal death of a soldier as his splendid
courage and devotion to duty has met
the ideal of a soldiers life. The sad
news will be announced to the army
and due ceremonies of respect for his
memory will be directed in general or
ders. EIIHTT ROOT
"Secretary of War
Senator Fairbanks saw the president
to-day in regard to the return of Gen
eral Lawton's body to the United
States. The senator suggested that
the funeral services be given something
OF national character.
Secretary Root made the following
statement in regard to the death of
General Lawton:
1T is seldom that q loss can be call
ed irreparable as in the case Of General
lawton's death. Because he not only
possessed the highest soldierly quail
ties, but the process of selection by ac-
tual experience had been brought about
universal recognition of these qualities,
while he was in full vgor of life, so
that the opportunity for great useful
ness and the highest commands lay
before him. He had not merely the
qualities of courage, but the quality of
command, which inspired his troops
with his indomitable will and disregard
Of danger. When the story of his
march through Central and Northern
Luzon in the autumn of 1899 comes to
be written I believe that the crowning
achievement of his life strenuous and
noble service will be deemed to add
luster to American arms and secure for
him and place as one of the heroic fig
ures of American history"
