Peverill in this city. Mr, | Peverill sald in an interview to-day that thirteen men who want to see service against the Boers, or at least who are | willing to enter the army in Canada, have | made application for enlistment. Mr. Peverill said: “I am not enlisting men for | war purposes. There are no signed papers | passed between the men who hand their names in to me and myself. I am simply asking men who want to go to Canada to see service to bund their names to me. Late this afternoon United States Com- missioner Stull caused Peverill's arrest.

BRAVE MAN'S UTTER CONTEMPT FOR DANGER MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, Dec. 19.—General Charles King, who commanded a brigade in General Lawton's division up to June last in the war against the Fillpinos, was much depressed on hearing of the death General King paid a warm tribute to the dead general n the following words: “The death of General Lawton is a In | calamity, yet one that I have been in is strong against | dread of ever since he took command of our division last March. In point of dash, energy and endurance he was our best. His one fault lay in his utter contempt for danger. We could not prevail upon him to use ‘cover’ or shelter of any kind. He was perpetually running into every kind of danger, 0xrnnlnx himself to death or capture when there was no need in it, He wanted to see everything for himself and would stalk out In front of the lines, the most prominent figure on the field. We loved him—we always have ever since old Civil War days, when he was the bardest and most daring of all the band of young officers that won distinction un- der Crook, Miles and Merritt. He was Mackenzie's ‘right bower’ and his later work in the Philippines was Incompara- ble. As a friend and comrade he was as lovable as he was great and heroic as a soldler.” LIFE OF THE GALLANT GENERAL H. W. LAWTON Henry W. Lawton was born in Manhat- tan, now a part of Toledo, Ohlo, In 1843, was. of the famous Groote family of Holland and his father was of English stock. As a boy young Lawton ‘went to school at Fort Wayne. He studied law for a brief period at Harvard Uni- versity and practiced for a short time after the civil war. ‘When the civil war broke out and the call for volunteers for three months came Lawton, then a boy 18 years old, enlisted in the Ninth Indiana Volunteers, April 16, 1861. He served under General Morris in West Virginia as sergeant of Company B. During the three months he took part in the battles of Philippl, Laurel Hill and Carricks Ford. He was mustered out by the explration of service and immediately | organized a company for the war, and in September, 1861, he was mustered In as first lieutenant of Company A, Thirtieth Indiana Volunteers, which regiment was ordered to the Department of the Ohlo, under General Buell. Lawton soon showed his military abil- ity, and on the very field of battle in front of Corinth, May 17, 1862, he was promoted to a captaincy. He commanded his com- pany in all the operations of General Buell's army and the Army of the Cum- berland until July, 1864, wher he was as- signed to duty by General Grose, com- manding a brigade in the Fourth Corps, as Inspector on his staff. In this capacity Lawton served until November, 1864, when he Wwas relieved to take command of his regiment, he having been promoted 4o a lleutenant colonelcy when he was but 22 years of age. He was commissioned a colonel February 6, 1865, but was not mus- tered in under his commission, as his reg- iment did not have the required strengt! under the regulations. He was hrevenl{-d as colonel of volunteers March 13, 1865, for “gallant and meritorious service durin, the war.” This boy of 22 had been throug! thirty-six battles and was a veteran of the most terrible war of modern times. He had served continuously during the whole period of the war, excepting the few months when he was detached as in- spector on the staff of General Grose in , and he had taken part in eve march, campaign and skirmish in whic it was engage After the war Colonel Lawton was com-. | | lonable affairs of the season.

In this country he surprised the Indians re- peatedly, and . constant and unre- mitting pursuit compelled them to render. From 1888 to 1898 General Lawton was in the inspector gencral’s office at Wash- ington as inspector g al, with rank of licutenant colonel. He was' recommended neral Breckinridge and General to a command in the army of in- vasion which was General Shafte wi ich resulted in his to ntend with house defended gy artillery. It was un- doubtedly the most stubborn and bitter fight in the Spanish-American war. Here Lawton and his men performed impossi- ble feats of bravery, and after a terrible engagement of ten hours drove the bravest and best of the Spanish army into the town and captured them, not one escaping. General Vara del Ray, the brave Spaniard who opposed him, was killed, with most of his officers. At the close of the Spanish war General Lawton was made commander of the De. partment of Santiago, which command he held from August to October, 15888. He was then put In command of the Seventh Army Corps for a short period, and on January 19, 1599, salled from this port on the Grant for Manila. Ever since he ar- rived in the Philippines General Lawton had been at the front; where the fighting was fiercest there he was to be found. —_— LAWTON ALWAYS LED. An Officer Who Never Told His Men to Go On. General Lawton was one of the most picturesque characters in the army. Soon after the battle of El Caney, in July, 184, where Lawton's bravery and gallant lead- ership won for him new laurels, a friend, H. 8. Canfleld, wrote of him: “Lawton reminds me always of Scott's Norman Baron, Front de Boeuf. He has better moj of course, as well as a very pretty taste in red wines and reed birds, but he is as blg as the glant slain by Richard of the Lion Heart, Is as direct in his methods, and in personal or general combat every bit as savage. There is lenty of the primal man in him. What e thinks he says. He has a strong sense of Justice, but his temper is terrific and he is not gentle. He requires of his subor- dinates the utmost endeavor, and gets it. He asks no one to do work that he s not competent and willing to do himself. Nat- urally a leader, he goes first, and the more difficult or desperate the undertak- ing the faster he goes. Upon the giay grl.nlle slab which covers the moldering ones of a Confederate officer who sleeps on the magnolia-petaled uplands of Lou! ana is an inscription: ‘He never told his men to go on." That will do for Lawton when he dles. “‘He 18 six feet three Inches high. He weighs 210 pounds, and nnrlx every ounce of it 1s bone and blood and tendon and muscle. He is 66 years old and as springy as a youth. His capacity to go without food, drink or sleep s seemingly unlim- ited. ‘Macumazahn,’ the Zulus called Quatermalin—‘the one who has his :z:; nfi' Macumazahn Lawton will them open for a week at a stretch, when necessary, and the! or fight a dozen men to a sta: has lived a life of peril and hard: only rule of hygiene is a tub in the morn- ing. He has taken no sort of care of him- self, yet so splendidly was he endowed by nature that there is no perceptible weak- ening of his forces. Apparently he is as owerful and enduring as when I saw him rst. That was more than ten years ago. He had completed one of the most re- markable feats of strength and persever- ance chronicled in the long annals of the Anglo-Saxon race, but he was as fresh as a rose in the momlns “He stood in the Government reserva- tion at San Antonio surrounded by the tawny savage band of Chiricahua Apaches whom he had hunted off their feet, Near him, taciturn but of kindly visage, stood young Chief Naches, almost as tall as ne. n a tent close by lay Geronimo, the medi- cine man, groaning from a surplusage of fresh beef eaten raw. The squat figures of the hereditary enemies of the whites grouped about him came only to hls shoulder. He towered among them, stern, powerful, dominant—an incarnation of the spirit of the white man, whose war drum beat around the world. Clad in a faded, dirty fatigue jacke tru.:‘ flan. nel shirt of gray, trousers so soiled that the stripe down the leg was barely visible, broken boots and a disreputable sombrero that shaded the harsh features burned al- most to blackness, he was every inch a soldier and a man. To the other officers at the post the Indians paid no sort of at- tention. To them General Stanley and his staft were so many well-dr lay fiz- ures, standing about as part of a picture done for their amusement, but the huge, massive man with the stubble on his chin had shown them that he was their supe- rlor on hunting grounds that were theirs by birthright, and they hung around his lightest word. “For the tenth time Geronimo's band bad jumped the San Carlos reservation.

The race-type persists unchanged in_eye, in profile, in figure. It is the race which in all the centuries the Valkyrs have wafted from the wardecks, have halled from the holm-gangs or hel- met-strewn moorlands—the white-skinned race, which, drunk with the liquor of bat- tle, reeled around the dragon standard at Senlac, which fought with Richard Gren- | ville, which broke the Old Guard at Waterloo, which rode up the slope at Bal- aklava, which went down with the Cum- berland in Hampton Roads, which charged with Pickett at Gettysburg—the race of the trader, the financler, the statesman, the inventor, the colonizer, the creator, but, before all, the fighter.
