Major General Henry w. Lawton was
buried in the National cemetery at Ar
lington. 1t was a nations tribute to
whole people was expressed when
America added the chaplet of cypress
to the brow that had so long worn the
laurel. The burial service beneath the
leafless trees at Arlington was pre-
coded by services in the Church Of the
Covenant on Connecticut avenue, at
which every department of the army
and navy within reach of Washington.
Lawton's old comrades of the line and
diplomatic corps in all its brilliance
OF uniform and decoration, and as many
citizens of all degrees as were fortu-
nate to find standing room within was
insignificant compared with the thou
sands who braved the lowering winter
day for a glimpse of the flag-draped
caisson with its military escort as it
passed through the streets. Hundreds
more made the toilsome pilgrimage tc
Arlington to hear the last words pro-
nounced above the open grave, where
President Mckinley, cabinet and gen
eral commanding the army stood with
bowed heads until the last volley had
been fired and the bugle sounded
taps"
1t was the Homecoming of a hero.
For several weeks, ever since the final
news from San Mateo had been flashed
around the width of the world the
country had waited to pay it's best trib-
ute to the dead. Lawton, to the bulk
OF Americans, had been the incarna-
ton of the American soldier. He had
made his mark in the civil war from
the Mississippi to the sea and in the
interval of potential peace it was ne
who had beaten at his own game, Ger
onimo, the greatest master of desert
craft and mountain fighting, that the
west had ever known and who, in the
new problems of a tropic war had
proved the most daring and resource
full of all the generals in the field.
1t was in tribute to these qualities
that the Lawton fund had In a few
weeks been swelled past all the ex-
pectations of it's originators, for Amer
lea knew Lawton, being a soldier first
and only, had left to those who loved
MIN no heritage save his sword and
spotless name.

GENERAL BUTLER GOT AWAY
AVOIDED A DEADLY TRAP
The Balloon Gave Great Help to the
British-BOers Tried to Fool Them
A Rumor That White Is Trying
10 Get Out of Ladysmith.

London Feb IA special dispatch
from Springfield Bridge, gives a new ex-
PLANTATION of General Buffers retirement.
According to this dispatch, a ballooniat
on Wednesday discovered the fact that the
Beers had developed extraordinary and
unexpected artillery strength on Doom
Kloof, to the British right, where they
had managed to draw up dozen heavy
guns, some fitted with disappearing
mountings, and all cunningly masked.
These, but for the balloonst, would new
er have been discovered in time to save
the British from falling into the deadly
trap, as they commanded the road the
British would have had to take in order
to reach Ladysmith. These guns rendered
the actual positions of the British unten-
able and further advance impossible,
except at the cost of a terrible and useless
loss of life.
London, Feb. 1.-THE war office still
maintains silence regarding the situation
at the seat of war, announcing at IL 80
last evening that no further news had
been received, and none has come from
other sources which would give clew to
General Buffers movements since he re-
crossed the Tugela or to the present posi-
tons of the forces.

Kimberley Bombarded.

Modder River, Feb. H. - Apparently
5000 yards from the camp. Thereupon
the Beers took up position with a
view of preventing their retirement.
Some burghers got within 200 yards of
the Australians and called upon them
to surrender. They replied by fixing
bayonets and shouting defiance.
the Beers have brought all their big
guns from Mafeking to shell Kimberly.
Our naval guns shelled MagersfonteiE
today, but the BOer guns were silent.
1t is supposed that the enemy have
withdrawn their artillery. They are
blowing up the permanent way beyond
Moron Siding. The Beers still man
their trenches, but their numbers are
apparently reduced. The bulk of their
force has gone to Kimberly or toward
our flank.

gressive activity against all British re-
connoitering and says the Beers are in no
sense surrounded at Colesburg, but are
simply set in check by a series of camps

The Beers, it is added, are still in full
possession of their lines of communication
at the Free State and hold strong posi-
tion5 around CoIesburg

aecIamations OF the commander.in-
chiefs battaiions In which, curiously
enough, the Orange Free State burgherS
appear to have Joined with remarkable
hearttness,
The opposition TO the entry Of the
British troops into the capital was in-
significant. Beers were found occupy
ing few hills south OF the place, but.
a few shells drove them OF and at 10 in
the morning some newspaper cores
pondents entering the town, found Mr..
Frazer and other officials ana guided
them to where Lord Roberts stood on
top Of a bill, waiting for them. AS
spokesman, Mr.. Frazer asked protec-
tion for ilfe and property and surren-
dered the keys, Lord Roberts accom-
panied by his STAN, rode at the head Of
cavaIcale mile long to the presi-
dency. receiving an ovation throughout
the route, eliminating in a remarkable
demonstration at the market square.
Reaching the government buildings
Lord Roberts took possession of the
city In the name Of the queen and then
repaired 10 the prealdency, where the.
ceremony of hosting the Union Jack
ended forever, according to universal
opinion, mere, the Boer government OF
the Free state.
During his progress through the town
Lord Roberts stopped and ordered the
instant replacement of goods which
were being looted from the artillery
barracks by Kafirs, thus giving the
populace al earnest assurance Of the
treatment they might expect from the

in cutting the wires and blowing up the
