LAWTON'S LAST REPORT
INCIDENTS OF HIS REMARKABLE
CAMPAIGN AGAINST AGUINALDO.
Preparations for the Funeral of the
Indiana Hero at Washington
Local Committees.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2-what was prob

WASHINGTON, Feb 2.-What was prob
ably the last official report of General
Lawton, embodying an act of the remark
able campaign conducted by him In the
province of Cavite, the home of Aguinaldo,
last June has been received at the War
Department from General Otis General
Lawton says: 1.-THE force Of the enemy
was between 1900 and 5000 well-armed men,
They had defeated the Spaniards at this
point and were confident of their ability,
and had taken oath to hold this strongly
intrenched and well-fortified position. Our
force, which carried these impragnable'
works. was less than 100 strong, and real
ly less than 1000 men were actually en-
gagged in driving them out"
General Lawton's description of the bat
tie Of Zapote is picturesque. Here is what
ne says of one officers performance: Cap
tain Sage's voice was heard we'll off to the
right. True to his promise, he. with nine
men, had remained, closely pressed by the
enemy, who came within forty yards of
him. With rifle taken from a wounded
man he himself had hit five insurgents.
His perfect confidence. logged determina-
ton and distinguished and exceptional
substantial recognition. He will be rec
commended for a medal of honor"
And again: General Ovenshine, riding
back and forth not over $50 yards from the
enemy's entertainments, directing his COM
mand, was certainly an inspiring sight to
his men. Bearing of officers and
men throughout this battle was magni-
ficent. The conduct of officers, whose
names are mentioned In the report of this
battle should be entitled and characterized
distinguished gallantry in the presence of
the enemy at the battle Of the Zapote
river AS General Ovenshine says, speak
ing of Lieutenant Kenly and his battery.
This is probably the first time in history
that a battery has been advanced and
fought without cover within thirty yards
of strongly manned trenches.
In conclusion General Lawton gives the
names of sixteen enlisted men killed and
wounded, including civilian clerk. and of
seven officers wounded during the cam
paign. He recommends as deserving of
special mention and brevet, eighty officers,
twenty-five enlisted men and five acting as
sistant surgeons, among whom men,
toned the names of Brig. Gen. Lloyd
Wheaton. U. s. ", Brig. Gen. Ovenshine.
and Second Lieut.. Ward Cheney, of the
Fourth Infantry, who was afterward killed

Mr.. Worsfold, in Cassells Magazine.
Some idea of the strange position I'm
which the Afrikanders Of the Cape Colony
are placed may be gathered from the fol-
lowing circumstance. At the time OF the
last Boer war two young princes put in
at Cape Town on their voyage round the
world. While they were at the Cape they
were invited. among other festivities, to a
garden party at one Of the many handsome
residences which are 10 be found in the
suburbs of Cape Town TO this party a
number of Cape Dutch had been invited
to join in welcoming the young princes.
Nevertheless, although they had thus as
sembled to do honor to the grandsons OF
the Queen, they apparently saw nothing

made for funds to supply the Boers-then
