Washington Detv'20.—The war depart moutf Las received the following olfk-iai coufh-niiinou of the killing o! General Lawtou near San Mateo, Luzon "Miimlii, Dec. ~0.—General Lawton, engaged in driving insurgents from i^an Mateo seenott of country north-easr of Manila, \va- killed instantly at 9::!0 yesterday morning. A great, loss to us and his country."

General Lawton's death was a grcar shock to the officers of the war department, to nearly all of whom he was known personally. Hitherto his luck in battie had been marvellous. He had been iu hundreds of skirmishes and midnight attacks. He was regarded as a man of action undot splendid courage, but was not considered reckless. He never exposed his men without due consideration of t.ue ri.-^ks and the stake. His men knew this and unhesitatingly would follow his lead under wh.it seemed to be the must desperate conditions.

The Indians Came to know him as the most active, vigilant and wary aud determined of foes aud his pursuit ami capture of Gerouiino, the famous Apache chieftain, has gone down into history as one of the most remarkable campaigns ever undertaken with the small force iu hand. General Miles picked our Lawton to lead the chase after the Indian cuief aud for tliree months, day andHiight-, without- a pause, through all sorts of vicissitudes of weatuer aud personal suffering, Lawtou hung on the trail like a bloodhound until tile game was run to earth and for the first time in a quarter of a century southwestern Arizona was pacified.

General Geronimo was supposed to have there the largest organized force north of Manila, and General Otis wished to garrison Mariquina. The night was one of the worst of the season. A terrific rain Lad begun and is still continuing

A Night March.

Accompanied by his staff aud Troop I, Fourth cavalry, General Lawtou set out at 9 o'clock in advance of the main force, consisting of the Eleventh cavalry and one battalion each of the Twentieth and Twenty-seventh infantry, which started from La Loma at midnight. With a small escort, he led the way through an almost pathless country, a distance of 15 miles over hills and through canebrake and deep mud, the horses climbing the rocks and sliding down the hills. Before daybreak the command had reached the Lead of the valley.

San Mateo was attacked at 8 o'clock and a 3-hours' fight ensued. This resulted in but a few casualties on tLe American side, apart from tLe deatL of General Lawton, but the attack was difficult because of the natural defenses of the town.

General Lawtou was walking alorg the fireiug iine within 800 yards of small sharpshooters' trench, conspicuous in the big white helmet he always wore and a li^iit yellow rain coat. He was also easily distinguishable by Lia commanding stature.

The sharpshooters directed savevai cioso shots which clipped the grass nearby. His staff officers called General Lawton's attention to 'he danger lie was in, but he only laughed with his usual' contempt for bullets. Suddenly he exclaimed: "I am shot!" elenohed his hands in a a«a&erate effort

THE NICK. OF TIME.

(A STORY OF COURAGE.) For fiftien years l'.eti Drew had been employed by the Hammond Brothers. His integrity, industry aiid business tact had brought him from ollice boy to "confidential man.' The Hammonds are not unappreciative of his worth and are now about to bestow the deserved toward.

Ben had some collecting to do out lu Amlover, and is hurriedly leaving the ollice to en:eh the suburban train. Isaiah Hammond calls to liim, handing him a paper, saving, "Head it at yotir leisure."

On the train ho read the letter. The firm thanks him for his years of faithful service and inviies him to invist Ids savings iu iu successful busi- 1 ness.

At last can it l.-eV His great ambition Is about to be realized. Ilow often had he written "11a uiinond, Hammond & Drew" just to sec how It would look. Now it had Loeonic a possibility. But, alas, why rejoice? What had he to invest? The care of a widowed mother aud an invalid sister bad made saving an impossibility. lie makes his collections and is returning to the city, sad and discouraged.

But why despair with a roll of bills In his pocket? There's Gray's resort, where nightly fortunes were lost and won. He had never gambled, but could play well and had no fear of losing. He Is the best player in their soclnl club. Why not malte it'pay him for once? Yes, he would. The otlico Is closed now and he cannot repott before morning, lie would just use It and let it make his fortune, lie did not go homo to supper, but went to a restaurant. On leaving the restaurant he turns from the busy thoroughfare into a quiet street, where a large shade tree makes it quite dark.

A woman conies out of one of the handsome stone mansions and walks along just in front of him. Presently out from behind a tree, a nirtn steps quickly, and, placing a hand over her mouth, with the other reaches for what he thinks is her purse. Iu an Instant Ken Is by her side, and with a blow sends the rulliau staggering Into the street. "I trust you are not hurt?" A pair of bright eyes are looking up into his a sweet, tremulous voice suys: "No, I am not Injured, thanks to your timely rescue."

K(-n bowed, and, "With your pormis. sion I'll follow you until you are out of this dark street." "You are kind, Indeed, sir I'm only going across the way to the church. It's tho 'holy hour I think he mistook my prayer book for a purse."

From what had he b, saved —tho commission of a 'crime 1hat would probably have ili-gr/iced lrni forever.

The next morning he made his report and thanked Mr. Hammond for the kind offer that lie must of necessity decline to accept. Beini pressed for the reason he told tin- truth modestlv and simply. "'You've made a better investment. Ben. and 1 have 110 doubt tjtat it will bring you a handsome return. If you haven't money you have the love of a grateful mother and sister to make you happy. Our oiler holds good, and when you ase ready to join us we'll be glad to take you in." He reached to take Ben's hand, but seeing it was banda-ed inquired what was tie- nuiti
