OF the rapidlty Of their movements he.
came almost as mysterious as that Of
Aguinaldo. But 1t was understood that

run him down If possible. 1t was lust
such a chase as he made after Geroni-
mo, the Apache. Many Of the Generals
horses were dying, and the soldiers.
ana even some Of the officers, marched
ahead half naked, their clothes being
torn to pieces in getting through the
Jungles. Hundreds OF them were bare
footed. Bread was scarce and caro-
bao meat and bananas made up their
rations.
The General was at Tayug on Dec. 1.
his troops having captured large ouan-
titles of insurgent supplies. Later he
returned to Manila, and, as already set
forth, started Dec. IS to capture San
Mateo, where lie was shot and killed.
A detachment of the Fourth Cavalry

was while fighting Filipino leader

Courage. strength. activity and endur
ance were his conspicuous traits. He
was born leader, an intrepid cam
paigner and dashing commander. Hi;
lion-like courage was proved IN every
war his government has waged since
he was a STRIPPING, and his rise from a
private volunteer In 1861 to brigadIer
general Of regulars In 1899 was by sheer
merit. He had not yet been made n
brigadier general when he died, but the
War Department was preparing his
commission when the news of his death
came. One Of the best Indian fighters
that our army ever produced, he car
rled Indian tactics into his campaign
against the Filipinos, thus adding much
TO their demoraliza ton.
Gen. Lawton was a man Of striking
personality. He was feet 3 inches
In height and weighed 210 pounds. His
forehead was low and broad, and his
iron-gray hair was thick and was worn
erect He rendered himself even more
conspicuous in the field than his great
size would have made him by always
being actually In the lead of his men.
He was frequently warned that he
needlessly exposed himself, but he
laughed at all suggestions of danger.
His fellow officers admired him: to his
men he was an idol and an Inspiration.
From School to Battlefield.
Lawton's birthplace was Manhattan !
Ohio, and he first saw the light on st.
Patrlck's day, 1S43. AS a boy he was
In the West with his father, and when
he was 10 years old the family located
ut Fort Wayne, Ind, which he ever
since regarded as his home. He was a
student In college when the civil war
broke out. He left school and enlisted
rs private In the Ninth Indiana. -Four
months later he was first lieutenant in
he Thirteenth Indiana, and with that
regiment he served to the end of the
war, retiring as Lieutenant Colonel.
With the brevet Of Colonel. When peace
Established he left the service and be-

HIS DEATH ROBBED THE MA.
TON OF AN IDOL.
Dashing Volunteer of the Civil wnr,
Fearless Indian Fighter, a Hero "a.
FL Caney and Hunter of Filipinos-
Dies on the Field. !sn

The Filipino sharpshooter's bulle
which took the life Of Gen. Henry w
Lawton did more. 1t plunged the ma
tion In grief, for Lawton was popular
idol. The same fearlessness which cos
him his life had given him warm
place in American hearts and his gov
ernment regarded him as one OF the
most valuable of its military men.
Lawton's death occurred In San Ma
teo. With small force he had left
Manila Cor an expedition In the Mari
qulna valley, an insurgent stronghold.
1t took all night TO cover fifteen miles
through rice fields, mud and over rocky
hills. In the morning an attack was
made on San Mateo. Lawton person
ally directed the work. He walked
along the firing line, 300 yards from the
Filipino trenches, needless of the warn
ings Of his STAFF officers that his white
helmet and yellow coat made him
shining mark and regardless Of the bull
let's that fell about him. He laughed as
they whlstled past him. Finally one
struck him in the breast. and with the
remark, Il am shot," fell into All Off
GERS arms and died almost instantly.
Many tears were shed as his men, hav.
ing driven the insurgents from San
Mateo, followed the body of their dead
general, borne on a stretcher by six
stalwart cayalrymen, back to Manila.
Gen. Lawton was victim to his
sense of duty. In spite of his officers
protests he persisted in placing himself |
In imminent danger, remarking, at Is

iring line"
Gen. Lawton was the ideal soldier.
