Body Laid on n stretcher.

OrderlieS rushed across the field for sur
geons, who dashed up Immediately, but
their efforts were useless. The body was
taken to a clump of bushes and laid upon
stretcher, the familiar white helmet COW
ering 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, thS staff preceding
lowing.
The troops filed, bareheaded through the
building where the body was laid and many
a tear fell from the eyes of men who had
long followed the intrepid Lawton. The
command was stricken with grief as though
each man had suffered personal loss.
Owing to the condition OF the country,
which is impossible so far as vehicles are
concerned, the body could not be brought
to Manila today Mrs. Lawton and the
children are living in government house.
San Mateo lies by high mountain and
a broad and shallow stream in front. with
wide sandbars, which the insurgent trenches
and the buildings command.
The Americans were compelled to ford the
river under fire. 1t was while they were
lying in the rice fields and volleying across
to passing the stream that Gem
eral Lawton was shot All except the OFF,
GERS were behind cover A staff officer was
wounded about the same time and one other
,fficer and seven men were wounded.
After three hours shooting the Filipinos
we're dispersed into the mountains. Colonel
