MANILA, December 22 - General
Lawton's remains were place in the
Paco cemetery this morning Pri-
vate services were held at the resi-
lence and the body was carried to the
cemetery by members of the Generals
staff and escorted by Troop I of the
Fourth cavalry Public services will be

Major General Henry w. Lawton, q.
5. v, was born in Ohio March II, l84S.
He had been taught trade before the
war, but enlisted April 16, 1851, in the
Ninth Indiana Volunteers and served,
IS first lieutenant, in the campaign in
West Virginia. under General McClel-
an. and i'll all the campaigns and battles

feats of special bravery. After the war
Colonel Lawton studied for IS months
~ iteA u law nCLAOOi, Out tAiC uveAoS-
tions of army life for him were too
strong to be resisted and he re-enlisted.
Most of Colonel Lawton's services since
re-enlistment had been on the frontier,
and the exploit by which he will be best
remembered was tbs capture of the
noted Apache chief and desperado,
which was effected in the Terrace noun
tains, Mexico, in the summer of 1886,
after Il pursuit which lasted from May
3 to August 8, 1886. Lawton was one Of
the best Indian fighters the American
army has produced.
At the opening of war with
Spain President Mckinley appointed
Lawton brigadier- general of volunteers
and assigned him to the command of a
division in the Fifth army corps, conn.,
manded by General Shafter. In July,
1898, he was chosen for the important
duty of opening the military operations
against the Spaniards by the capture Of
Caney and the interception of Spanish
reinforcement then nearing Santiago
de Cuba. General Lawton sailed for
the Philippine islands January 10, 1899.
His distinguished services in the Philip
pines are recent history. He received
IA special message of thanks from Pfesi-
dent Mckinley after the capture of San
Isidro.

dispatch from Washington saws
A hundred millions year appears to
be the present market offered to the
United States by Cuba, Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines, provided
the United States are able to supply the
normal demand in these islands for for
eign products. This estimate is based
upon their actual consumption in years
of normal conditions. How rapidly
this will increase remains to be seen;
but if the experience of the last year in
Hawaii is an indication of what will
happen elsewhere the increase must be
rapid. The export from the United
States to Hawaii in ten months of 1899,
the record of which ls now complete,
are more than double those of the cor.
responding months =, 1897. and nearly
double those OF 1898. while to Cuba they
promise to exceed i'll 1893 those of any
