BRYAN AND LIBERTY.
The UtteraEee OF an Old Time Re.
PlbIiean OF Washington.

Capt. Patrick O'Ferrall, a life
long Republican of Washington, has
written Senator Hoar asking for
copies of his great speech against
Imperialism. The Washington Post
quotes from his letter as follows:
''I am an old-time Republican,
who fought during the late civil war
for the principles of Washington,
Jefferson aud Lincoln. l want your
speech for the facts therein. They
show the duplicity and treachery of
William Mckinley, for whom l spent
eight weeks on the stump. Your
speech shows further that the next
election will determine whether we
shall retain our liberty or do as
Rome did, go into the imperial busi-
ness.
81 honestly believe that, IN order
to preserve liberty, it is essential that
the honest and manly Republicans
who still adhere to the Declaration
of independence and the Constitu-
ton should use all their efforts in
the next campaign to defeat Nc
Kinley and the Republican party by
supporting VIM. j. Bryan, who, no
matter bow we Republicans may
differ with his free silver and tariff
theories, yet can agree with him on
the greater and paramount question
of Imperialism. The question is,
whether we shall continue as re-
public or go into the colonial bust
ness and convert the Stars and Stripes
into an emblem of Imperialism.
"The cry in the coming campaign
should be: BRYAN AND LIBERTY
against Mckinley and Imperial
tyranny and 1 have every confidence
that liberty will win"

SAW GENERAL LAWTON FALL.
A Baltimorean's Account of the
San Mateo Battle.

AA1ACO
Capt. Dan NJ. Davis, of the Weems
Steamboat Line, is in receipt of
letter from his son, Charles Davis,
of Company b. Twenty-seventh In
fantry, United States Volunteers,
Philippine Islands. The writer says:
81 will endeavor to give you a true
account of the battle in which Gen.
Lawton lost his life, and of other
things of interest in these far-away
islands. On the 18th of December
we received orders to join General
Lawton aud clear the Mariquina
Valley of all rebel forces. General
Gerinima, of the rebel army, had a
large forceat San Mateo. We started
from San Felipe barracks at six
o'clock in the evening, marching all
night in a terrible downpour of rain,
in mud and water up to our hips.
We went through hardships that
night that / never will forget as long
as live. On the morning of De-
cember 10th We came in sight of San
Mateo, having arrived at the top of
high hill. The plans were that
our battalion was to open the battle
on the enemy's left flank, which we
did about eight o'clock.
''The cavalry advanced on the right
flank under a heavy fire from the
rebel trenches. The main BODY of
sharpshooters lay facing our COM
pany, and kept us busy lodging their
bullets. General Lawton showed a
lot of daring and coolness, and kept
walking the entire firing line, en-
couraging the troops with his cool
ness. The Fourth and Eleventh
Cavalry swung around the enemy's
flank, trying to surround them, but
the river was so swift and deep they
did not make it in time. General
Lawton fell about one hundred wards
back of our company and l saw him
fall.

BRYAN's BRIGHT BRIEFS.

No large standing army is needed
The plea of destiny is the plea of
cowardice.
Conquest means not destiny but
covetousness and temptation.
Monopolists oppose the Democracy
because it was the party of the COM
mon people.
If the Republican party destroys
trusts it will destroy the goose that
lays the golden egg.
God does not inspire one man to
govern another, and inspire the other
to die for independence.
The Democratic party is now built
from the voter up; heretofore it was
built from the financier down.
If the people wish to extinguish
trusts, they must take the extinguisher
out Of the hands of the monopolists.

THE STEAMER NORTHUNI-
BERLAND.

The new steamer, Northumberland,
OF the Weems Steamboat Company, is
among the most luxurious and best
planned steamers on the Potomac.
The steamer is OF steel, 200 feet
long, Al feet nodded beam and IL
feet 6 inches depth of hole. She is
driven by az inverted direct-acting
triple expansion engine, which is
supplied with steam from two steel
boilers of gunboat type, each with
three corrugated furnaces and tested
to 1s0 pounds pressure. The vessel
is guaranteed speed of 10 miles an
honr.
There are 800 electric lights
throughout the vessel, powerful
searchlight and a vertical steam cap
stan windlass for warping ship and
raising anchors. She also is fitted
with steam steering gear.
-Four hundred tons of cargo can be
carried on about eight feet draft of
water, which will make her a handy
vessel for the trade of the Potomac.
Upon the main deck are located the
social hall, cafe, mail room and sit
ting room for second-class passengers.
Below are cabins for second and first
class passengers who do not desire
the luxury of the main saloon. Apart
ments for male and female and for
white and colored are splendidly APP
portioned.
The saloon is finished in natural
oak, with panels and pilasters artis-
tically carved, making a most pleas
ant effect. The furniture is also of
oak, upholstered in leather. Forty
three staterooms open into the main
saloon, each of which is fitted with
upper and double beIths, lighted by
electricity and having the up-to. date
toilet appliances. Of these 43 rooms
there are four bridal chambers.
Upon the hurricane deck are the
officers quarters, the crew being COM
fortably quartered on the main deck.
Abaft of the officers quarters is a
large space which will serve as
promenade. In summer it will be
covered with awnings.
With the welcome the Northum-
berland received along the banks of
the Potomac Capt. VIM. Geoghegan,
who is among the best-known mas
ters on this river, came in for COM
pliments that he we'll deserves. Capt
Geoghegan is about winding up 80
years on the river in command.
First Officer Chas. Geoghegan and
Second Officer John Douglass will be
his aids on deck and Chief Engineer
L. j. Young and Second Engineer
Young will have charge of the ma
chinery.
During the summer the Northum-
berland will have as consorts on the
route from Baltimore to Washington
and all the Potomac landings the
steamers Potomac and Sue.

After about two hours of hard climb
ing and steady firing we scattered
the rebels, killing about two hundred
of them.
"The troops in the fight at Mon
talbon were one battalion each from
the Eleventh Cavalry and Forty-sixth
Volunteer Infantry; Forty-ffth VOL
unteer, Twenty-nnth Infantry and
Twenty-seventh Infantry. All the
men acted cool under heavy fire,
and North and South fought
shoulder to shoulder.
A RISKY BUSINESS.
eve arrived at San Mateo Christ
mas Day, tired and dirty, in time for
dinner of bacon, hard tack and
black coffee. We stayed in San Mateo
until the 18th of January, when we
received orders to move to Mariquina
and garrison that town. We don't
have 1T as bad now as we have had
it. but we don't have a good thing
after all. The most we do now is
outpost guard. The outpost is about
one mile from camp, having three
privates and one corporal to ward off
surprise. For raw recruit outpost
duty seems to be Q risky business.
After he has been on the island
about four months he forgets all
about fear and is a cool-headed,
nervy man. We do a great lot of
marching through the mountains
after the gugus, or rebels. We do
not mind it now and when off duty
we can lie down and sleep any old
place. We have been on several
marches since we have been at Mari
quina through the mountains hunt
ing rebels, but they are hard to find.
When they see detail of American
soldiers coming they take off their
white clothes; then, as the soldiers
reach them, they are mucho amigo,
or friends. That's the way with all
the rebels; so it is hard to tell when
you find real Filipino friend.
"Last night 1 was on outpost when
we received orders from our captain
to look out for rowing bands of rob-
bers or ladrones. There were only
four of us ON outpost, so we posted a
man about three hundred yards from
the main post to keep them from sur
prlslng us. We got relieved every
four hours, but it seemed like four
years to me, for l was keeping on
the alert watching for sight of a
rebel.
"No ladrones appeared during the
night and was not bit disappoint-
ed, for we have had orders like that
before. We are not like the boy
mlnding sheep and never give any
false alarms. The laGrone in this
country is just like the robber in the
United States, only little more
blood-thirsty. We have as nice a
time as we can expect over here and
have very healthy camp. All the
fight is over now and we expect they
will soon commence to ship us poor
devils home" e."-BaHimore american.

wITH A YANKEE YRLL.

"Colonel Lockett, of the Eleventh
Cavalry, took command after General
Lawton fell and ordered the entire
column to charge. We rose with a
loud Yankee. yell that put the fear
of God in the rebels hearts, and
charged across the river, over the
trenches, and into the town, driving
the rebels before us like frightened
hens.
Cali the boys were sad over the
death of General Lawton, and stood
with bowed heads when his BODY pass
ed. Our battalion and two troops of
the Eleventh Cavalry were detailed to
guard the town. The niggers kept
us awake nearly every night for about
a week firing on the outposts, which
were very dangerous at that time.
On the 22d of December they opened
up all around the town killing
Private Burke, of Company A,
Twenty-second Infantry. On the 24th
of December we received orders to
move on Montalbon, a town about
six miles from San Mateo, on the
top of San Mateo Mountains. We
had to so through Death Valley, so
called by the Spanish soldiers because
the rebels trapped them in that valley,
and killed about thousand of them.
The Sixth Artillery soon routed
the niggers out of Death Valley and
held them at bay until we could get
a good position on the side of the
steep mountain.
at was terrible charge up that
mountain, and many a poor lad lost
his life. Our company seemed to
bear a charmed life, although we
were in the thickest of the fight.
