MANILA, Deo. 21.—Major General Lawton’s body was brought from San Meteo to Manila, this afternoon, his staff and a body of cavalry acting as escort. It was found necessary to bridge the river. The funeral will take plar.r* from his late residence here, a mansion former ly occupied by a Spanish general. The body has been placed tempor arily in a vault In Kl l’uco cemetery, where many of the* American soldiers have been interred and a guard of honor will he maintained. When Mrs. Lawton and her four children have completed their arrange ments for returning to the United States the remains will be taken on a transport with an escort of officers lor final interment, as is thought proo uhle here, in Arlington cemetery. General Lawton's death has caused universal sorrow in Manila. No American officer had greater popular ity among all ranks and in his deal ings with the natives he commanded their respect and confidence to a re markable degree. The mayors whom he installed in the neighboring towns are arranging to attend the funeral in a body. To ids executive ability and personal leadership is chiefly due the brilliant execution of the* plan of campaign in north Luzon, which lias scatterd the insurrectionary forces from San Isidro to the Gulf of Llngayeu. That section of the island which had to he tiav pi sc miring me very worst seson or the year presented difficulties consid ered by all acquainted with it to oe almost Insurmountable, but General Lawton thoroughly covered the pro gram assigned him. When he reached Tayug and found that the other divigiou had not ar rived he went through to Dagupan on is own responsibility. Although he imposed great hardship on ids inen he invariably shared their lot cheerily. Thirteen American officers, includ ing three officers, were wounded in the engagement at San Mateo, where Gen eral Lawton was killed. Captain Breckenridge's wound is not consid ered dangerous, although the bullet penetrated his arm and side. It is estimated that the insurgents numbered 500 and half of them were armed with rifles. The Americans numbered 1,300, but the command hail been much depleted by sickness. The wagon trains found the roads impassable and was obliged to return. The insurgents retired to the north east leaving six dead. They have other forces near Taytay. This region, atlhough dose to Manila, has proved the most difficult from which to dislodge the enemy. It Is now reported that the insurgents in tend to concentrate at Santa Cruz. Languna province, and in the district east of Laguna de Bay. The American secret service reports that Aguinaido lias Joined the Marl quin a force. LUiUULtNI.i 3 EKUM PRESIDENT McKinley K\Morrow Over l>eatli of Law ton.

WASHINGTON, oc. 22— Chairman Mercer of the public buildings and grounds committee today received a letter from Andrew Carnegie announc ing that he would give $75,000 to the city of Lincoln for a public library building, the Lincoln library having burned down in the disastrous fire of several months ago. The conditions surrounding this gift, Mr. Mercer believes, will be the same as those exacted from other cities, Washington, Fairfield. la.. Savannah and Pittsburg, that the city must do nate a site and guarantee a certain yearly sum for its maintenance, which will probably amount to $5,000. This is the most munificent Christ mas gift the state of Nebraska has ever received and will be, undoubtedly, accepted by the municipality of Lin coln. Carnegie has given in this way upwards of $2,000,000 for libraries throughout the i’lilted States. LINCOLN, Dec. 22. Members of the Lincoln Public library board have been corresponding with Andrew Car negie for several weeks with a view to securing a donation for the contsruc tion of a library building, and although he spoke encouragingly of the plan from the start, it was not known till tonight that their efforts had met with success. It is supposed that the gift is made conditional on the city of Lin coln, making an annual appropriation of a specified sum for maintaining the library and purchasing new hooks and periodicals, and that it shall furnish a suitable site for the building, all of which will undoubtedly be complied with by flic city council. The Lincoln public library was de stroyed by fire with the Masonic Tem ple building three months ago. Since then about 3,000 volumes have been col lected for a new library and the avail able funds remaining in the treasury amount to about $0,000. The annual levy made by the city council for the library is 1 mill, which brings in a rev enue of only $5,000 a year. Unless the conditions are such that they cannot be complied with by the council, the dona tion, will, of course, be accepted. SFNATOR JOIUS FILL OF HOPl. khj* Hit- Ilrmumitlc Prospect* Are ItrtKlita-r Tlian Ever. rHICAOO, Dec. 22.—Senator James K.

He assured everybody that the propspects for democratic success next year are brighter than they were in 18th!. He said only W. J. Bryan would be mentioned as can didate for president in the convention. The senator would not say where or when he thought the convention should be held. He denied a Btory sent from Washington that he had repudiated the system of collecting money for a campaign fund and had discharged Richard S. Taylor, one of the collectors. “The system of collecting money,’’ he continued, "was inaugurated by me. It has been a success and is worthy the support of all democrats.

There is a story from Buffalo County going the rounds that illustrates the resources of a Nebraska farm: A farm er up there from Missouri got discour aged because he didn’t get rich the first year, and as there was a mortgage of $700 on bis farm, was about ready to jump the whole business, but deter mined to make one more effort and sowed eighty acres in wheat. It hap pened to be a poor year for wheat and the stand was not very good. Conclud ing that it wasn’t worth harvesting he pulled up his stakes and moseyed back to Missouri, leaving the farm to fight the mortgage all by itself. The farm was equal to the occasion. The wheat ripened, fell down and de posited the seed In the soil again. Next spring the wheat began to grow lus tily. Some of the neighbors were hon est enough to write about It down to the fugitive In Missouri, and he got in terested enough to come back and take a look. Then he stopped and harvested his voluntary crop. He sold It for enough to pay off the mortgage and the rest of his debts and had a tidy lit tle surplus over, with which he moved his family back and now declares there is no state like Nebraska.—Lincoln (Neb.)
