Some Incident!) of His Career Down in Cnba. From the Springfield Republican. Tiie Second Regiment served through the Santiago campaign in the division com manded by Gen. Lawton ,and many of its members, especially Col. Clark, have some very p easant and Interesting reminis cences of him. Col. Clark was with him constantly dur ing the week after landing on Cuban soil at Daquiri on June Zl. He found Lawton a free, frank, fearless man. capable of bearing great fatigue, and wilh a bulldog tenacity, which accounted for his success. He was a good deal of a diplomat as well. When the troops first ashore,Clark was called by Lawton and given command of the First Brigade. He was with him constantly the first day. It was extremely hot, and the general, in common with all the remainder of the army, had to ad vance on foot to Slboney. Lawton was a tall, heavy-boned man, with a frame strongly muscular and almost entirely free from fat. The heat of the day (old on him, how ever. and he was covered with dust and Inspiration. The next day the division want imo Slboney, and as they entered the general encountered Castillo, in charge of the division of Garcia’s army. The Cuban was on horseback, and cloth ed in a spotless white suit, made a strik ing contrast to the hot, weary, grimy American general, who stood beside him. Before the Cuban general came up to them, Lawton said that he intended to make him a compliment, and this he did in a very easy manner, congratulating him on the way which his men had driven the Spaniards out of Slboney, although, as a matter of fact, they had practically noth ing to do with it. The Cuban took the coni plim nt in earnest, and was extremely pleased. This incident, Clark thinks, is il lus ratlve of Lawton’s disposition. His tact was wonderful, and as soon as he su r ce?ded Shaffer in command of the de par.ment he immediately resumed friened ly relations with Gurcia, where his pre decessor had had nothing but disagree ment. On the day of the San Juan fight Mai- Whipple was seated leaning up against a tree, during a comparatively quiet time, and Lawion came up and sat down beside him. The men began a discussion of the question of nervousness under fire. Law ion sai l that he never was in such a posi tion without feeling considerable of it. Whit p e would not admit that he was troubled at all. Suddenly a bullet struck Just btslde them on the tree against which they were leaning, scattering bark about in a most alarming manner. Whip p'e, who tells this story on himself. Jump ed about two feet Into the air. Lawton on the contrary, remained, gave not the hast sign of alarm. "Yes.” he said, dryly, 1 notice you are not nervous.’’ Our guarantee is on every package of Eat-Well Goods. J- Laukota Cos., Chattanooga.
