General La,vton's Funeral.

Manila, Jan. 1.-The funeral of Cen
eral Lawton, who was killed at San
Mateo, December Is, was held with i'm
pressive ceremonies The remains were
conveyed from Pace cemetery down the
Luneta to Pasig and thence to the trans
port Thomas, which sails this afternoon.
AS the body was removed from the vault,
Chaplain Marry read prayers. The per-
sona staff of the late general was aug
mented by Color Sergeant Simon, Trum-
peter Haberkam and Privates Oakum and
Mohrusen. The latter, who were closely
connected with Lawton's recent cam
paigns, bore the casket from the vault
to a siX-horse caisson awaiting at the
gate.
The funeral procession was composed of
the band Of the Twentieth regiment, Gen
eral Hall and his staff, two troops of the
Fourth cavalry, who were with Lawton
at the time of his DEATH battery of ar
tillery, a number of clergymen, the Gals
son covered with flowers, the personal
staff, generals on foot, Generals Wheeler.
Bates, Forsth, Kobbe and Schwan and
Admiral Watson in three carriages, ma
val battalion, Major General Otis and
staff, foreign consuls in full dress and a
number OF the Philippine supreme court.
Native delegations from the towns
where Lawton had established civil gov
ernments held wreaths. Women from the
same towns waited upon Mrs. Lawton
yesterday and presented her with their
condolences and flowers. Crowds of ma
tives and Americans witnessed the pro-
eession. The band played dirges and the
crowds uncovered.
The Pasg casket was transferred to the
tug, taps was sounded and prayers were
offered by Chaplain Pierce. Four enlist
ed pail bearers will accompany the re-
mains to the United States

70 PREVEN! |NSURRECT|ON
IN CAPE COLONY LOCALITY.
The English Organize Into Home
GuHrds-The Beers Are Trying Tor
Wreck Trains-smalI Skirmishcs-
Take Place.

Cape Town, Jan. 2.-The colonial au-
thorities are using every precaution to pre-
vent an instruction OH the part of dis
loyal Dutch in Cape Colony, and to sup
press rising if one should occur Every
where the British colonists are being or
gained into home guards, drilled, armed
and ready to act in their respective locah-
ties should armed Dutch colonists gather.
The theory is that the British home-stay-
ing colonials should be fully prepared to
cope with the Dutch colonials without the
aid OF regulars.
The alertness of the British makes unit
ed action on the part OF the pro-Boer resi-
dents difficult. Unable to act openly they
slip away singly or in small groups to join
the enemy's forces. The authorities have
been informed OF many centers of agita-
ton, which it is considered undesirable to
particularize, but there Is nothing like con-
certed action over the wide districts.
The case of Mr.. Michan, solicitor to the
DeBeers Company, who is accused of trea-
son, acquires increased Importance, as he
has been transferred from the custody of
the civil authorities here to the military
authorities at DeAar. hIs high position
causes the Dutch TO watch his case keenly.
Parties of Beers have been operating
some 20 miles south of Lord Methuen's
position. Beers appeared on Christmas
q day near the railway about 20 miles south
of DeAar. A force of the duke of High
burg's own volunteers prepared to engage
them, but the enemy retired.
Another party fired into British patrol
camp during the night of Wednesday, Dee.
81. This was near Victoria road. An at
tempt was made not far from that point
to damage the railway. One man was
caught in the act and shot.
A similar attempt was made between
Multiersoletie and Klapmuts, but the
would-be wreckers escaped. Like attempts
are reported from several other points.
Evidently small parties of Beers or Dutch
colonials have been trying to interrupt
the movement of trains, but thus Tar they
have been baftled by the elaborate British
patrolling.
In one case patrol of regulars fired on
patrol of colonials. The latter We're
wearing broad brimmed hats and We're
mistaken by the British for Beers. No
casualties occurred, but in consequence of
the incident an order has been issued re-
quiring all classes Of troops to wear he'll

occasion OF an important announcement
by Secretary OF State Hay, that the nego-

the steamer Mt. Washington, which boat
makes two trips over the lake daily visit
ing Weirs, Centre Harbor, Bear Island,
Long Island and Wolfeboro. Alton Bay
is also known for it's Camp Meetings,
and the conventions held there are gen.
orally we'll attended.
This year services will be held August

gramme has been prepared. For this
event the Boston & Main Railroad will
place excursion tickets on sale at many of
it's stations, and station ticket agents
