THE FUNERAL OF DIEUT. T. M.
BRUMJJY.
(By Telegraph to Vlrglnian-Pllot.)
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 20.?The remains
of Lieut. T. M. Brumby, Admiral
Dewey's flag officer, were laid to rest
to-day In the soil of his native State.
The funeral was under the direction
of 'the mllRary, and the sorvlce of the
Episcopal Church was , conducted by
Bishop C. K. Nelson.
The body of the dead ofllcer reached
Atlanta early this morning, and was
Immediately escorted to the Caoltol,
where It lay In state several hours.
Lieutenant Caldwell, the representa?
tive of Admiral Dewey, placing the
magnificent sword, presented Brumby
by the people of Georgia less than
months ago, on the casket. Among the
mass of flowers about the coflln was a
great wreath of white roses, Japonlcas
and carnations twined with delicate
ferns and bearing a card with the sim?
ple Inscription, "The President." An?
other wreath of similar design was
marked with the name of Secretary

HARMLESS, FRAGRANT, STIMULATING.
That a Soap could be manufactured
without tho use of fats and oils combined
with an alkali has been a great surprise
to chemists. The base of aill soaps from
the cheapest laundry to tho finest tolloi
having always been made In this way.
However, their surprise was not so great
as tho pleasure of the medical profession
when it was'found that a perfect soap
could be made from tho fresh green leaves
of the Tasmanian, Blue Gum Tree; these
leaves furnishing a product, wh'ch, al?
though three times stronger than carbolic
add as a germicide, is perfectly harmless.
For years these leaves havo been the only
euro known to tho natives of Tasmania
for skin diseases, wounds, etc., and arc
to-dny used In the1 principal skin disease
hospitals of Europe, to tho exclusion of
all other remedies. Now that It Is possi?
ble to Incorporate them In a toilet soap
and yet retain all thedr medla'nal quali?

successfully than bofore, application of
tho mcdicant being made In this way
without the use of ointment which nat?

A WAR RELIC.
JACKSON'S LAST DISPATCH TO
GENERAL LEE.
(By Telegraph to Vlrginian-Pllot.)
?Brrrtrmorc, Deo. 2k?Mr, A. E. Morrl
son, of Leesburg, Va., has left at the
Mercantile Trust Company for safe?
keeping the last dispatch written by
General Stonewall Jackson. Tho dis?
patch was directed to General Lee and
was written at 3 o'clock on the after?
noon of May 2, 18C3. General Jackson
was 'killed about 7 o'clock the same
day. The dispatch was Intrusted to Mr.
Morrison for delivery, but never reach?
ed its destination, as the bearer was
wounded In his efforts to get through
the lines and was unable to proceed or
to turn the dispatch over to another
courier. Mr. Morrison has since kept
the paper, which he prizes highly as
being, perhaps, the last action of the
famous Confederate general.
The dispatch read as follows:
? Near Six Miles West )
Chancellorsville, 3 p. m., May 2, 1S63.)
General?The enemy has made a
stand at Chancellors,. which Is about
two miles from Chancellorsville. ,1 hope
so soon as practicable to attack. I
trust that an ever-kind providence will
bless us with success. Respectfully,
T. J. JACKSON,
Lieutenant General.

(By Telegraph to Virglnlan-Pllot.)
Frankfort, Ky? Dec. 20.?Though no?
tices of contest have been prepared
against Governor Taylor and Lieuten?
ant Governor Marshall, they probably
will not be served until Friday. The
delay Is said to have been planned in
order to prevent taking of depositions
prior to the meeting of the Legislature,
the Goebel people preferring to have
the whole proceedings conducted by the
contest committee of the Legls'ature,
'nstead of In part before the court
examiners and later by the contest
committee.

Heavy Shipments of Gold. rxAT
New York, Dec. 20.?The best Infor?
mation obtainable In Wall street to?
day was to the effect that at. least
S5 000.000 gold will be sent abroad on
Saturday's steamers. Rumor credits,
several of the leading foreign exchange
houses with engagements to export,
and several of the banks, banking
houses and trust companies will very
likely do the same.
AN UN/CONFIRMED RUMOR.
London, Dec. 20.?A special dispatch
from Durbart, Natal, dated Saturday,
December 16, says' it ie rumored that
General Builer called for volunteers to
recover the abandoned guns, and that
a party Issued from the camp after
midnight and brought in the guns,
which were uninjured.
GUNS NOT RECOVERED.
London, Dele. 20.?It still seems doubt?
ful whether the guns that General Bul?
let* abandoned at Colenzo are in the
possession of the Boers.
According to a dispatch to the Asso?
ciated Presa from Durban, sent off on
the evening of the battle, and which I
has just been received here, the guns
remained where they were left by the
British troops, and were covered by the I
heavy guns of General Hlldyard's brl- j
gade, occupying an intrenched position.
The dispatch adds that the Boers have
thus far not attempted to cross the
I river and carry off the guns! while ad?
vices to the Associated Prees from Pre?
toria, under the same date, say that an
official Boer dispatch reports that two
guns, 13 wagons and a quantity of am?
munition were captured besides 208
prisoners.
FORCED TO RETIRE.
London, Dec. 20.?The War Office re?
ports that General French reconnolter
ctl northward of Arunclc! Monday, De?
cember 18th. After shelling Jasfonteln
farm, three mlLs eastward of the Boer
position, the New Zealanders advanced
and occupied the farm. Tho Boer guns
then opened and the Beers advanced to
the attack, so General French ordered
a retirement.
The latest news from Mafeklng. dated
December Gth has jus. been received. It
says a desultory bombardment vTas
continuing and the sharpshooters were
ei;gaged in a smart duel mornings and |
evenings.
A SHELL'S CONTENTS.
The dispatch also describes a novel
method of sending a message, adopted
by some Boers, December 4th. A llve
pcunder shell fired Into the town that
day did not explode. It was opened and
found to contain a letter as follows:
"Dear Powe.l (Colonel Baden-Powell):
Excuse Iron messenger. No o:her means
of communicating. Please tell Mrs, -
mother and family all well. Don't drink
all the whiskey. Leave some for us
when we get In." The sender's signa?
ture was torn off.
London, Dec. 21.?The appeals for
yeomany and volunteers are being re?
sponded to with the greatest enthu
slnsm in all parts of the country. Lord
Wolseley proposes that the force being
raised by the Lord-Mayor of London
be called the "City of London Imperial
Volunteers." The government expects
the total of yeomanry and volunteers
to reach 8,000. Baron Cresham will
command, with Lord Lonsdale as adju?
tant general.
The papers are now generally Join?
ing in free criticism of the government
and the War Office, ns day by day fresh
proofs of unprepnredness come to light.
Special stress is laid upon the failure
to provide proper transports, which
compels the columns to stick tight to
railways and upon the inferiority of the
British artillery.
The Australian colonies are respond?
ing eagearly to the Imperial Govern?
ment's appeal for second contingents.
It Is reported that the Queen will
n<bandon her proposed visit to Italy, in

One of the results of the coal famine
in the Sheffield district. Indirectly
arising out of the war, Is that several
Important steel firms are not able to
get coal, even from their own collier?
ies a few miles distant. They will sue
the railway companies for non-delivery
of coal. One of the great armor plate
works has shut down partially.
LORD ROBERTS.
London, Dec. 20.?General Lord Rob?
erts, who Is to have full command of
the British troops in South Africa, ac?
companied by Lady Roberts and their
two daughters, arrived in London this
morning, having traveled from Dublin
with Mr. Chamberlain. Their de?
parture from Dublin was marked by
cheering crowds, but the General made
a quiet entry Into London. After go?
ing to a private hotel, he spent about
an hour at the War Office In consulta?
tion with the Marquis of Lansdowne,
the Secretary of State for War. Then
General Roberts returned to the task
of packing his.effects and interviewing
the officers selected for his staff.
A PARTING MESSAGE.
When "Little Bob's," the beloved of
Tommy Atkins, received a representa?
tive of the Associated Press, he was
dressed in the deepest black in vivid
contrast with his snow white hair and
moustache. His dapper little figure
was as straight as ever, but the eyes
that have so often scanned British
victory were slightly dimmed by the
great personal sorrow that has be?
fallen him. But in spite of this and
the multitude of details that claimed
his attention. General Roberts will?
ingly assented to send through the
Associated P^ess .a parting message to
the American people, and gave the
following statement:
"Circumstances naturally forbid my
speaking about the campaign ahead of
me, except to say that I have entire
confidence in the British so'dier, and
that I believe the traditions of our
armv will be unheld in South Africa.
"For the friendly Interest and sym?
pathy exhibited by many Americans I
am most deeply grateful. I feel sure
the Justice of our cause merits this.
Though we may be at war, I can safely
say that . no unnecessary -harshness
and no acts of inhumanity will mar the
"fair name of this branch of the Anglo
Saxon race.
"The reports which Indicate that dis?
loyalty exists in the Irish regiments
are absolutely untrue. In the hour of
danger my countrymen have ever been
among the ilrst to lay down their lives
for their Queen and their country, and
whether it be against the Boers or men
of any nationality, the Irish so'.dler will
be found loyal to his Quqen and brave
In battle."
THINKS WELL OP KITCHENER.
The representative learned that Gen?
eral Roberts entertains a great friend?
ship for General Kitchener, though they
have never served together, and that
combination of Genernlshlp creates the
greatest satisfaction In military circles.
DISSATISFIED COLONISTS.
London. Dec. 20.?A Cape Town dis?
patch, dated Saturday, December 16,
says:
"Five hundred colonists of the Vic?
toria West district have perfected an
apparently anti-British organization
there and, ns Individuals, have openly
expressed disloyalty, and have threat?
ened to attack the railroad station,
which Is on the direct line between
Cape Town and De Aar. The Afrikan?
der Bundites. at a meeting there, pass?
ed a resolution assorting that the
troops In the vicinity Irritate the farm?
ers dangerously. The meeting pro?
claimed its loyalty, hut declared that
the conduct of tho troops forced the
people to use expressions nnd commit
acts which were capable of being Inter?
preted as disloyal."
CENERAL LAWTON.
HIS REMAINS BROUGHT TO MA?
NILA FOR BURIAL.
(By Telegraph to Vlrglnlan-Pllot.)
Manila, Dec. 20.?S p. m.?Major Gen?
eral Dawton's body wns brought from
Sau Matco to Manila this afternoon, h s
staff and a squadron of cavalry acting
as escort. It was found necessary to
bridge the river.
The funeral will take place from his
late residence here, a mansion former?
ly occupLd by a Span'.sh g nrral. The
body has b en placed temporarily In a
vault In Elpaco cemetery, where many
of the Anurcan soldiers have been in?
terred, and a. guard of honor will be
maintained. When Mrs. Lnwton and
her four children shall have completed
their -arrangements for returning to the
United States, the remains will be
taken on a transport with an escort of
olllccrs, for final interment, as is
thought probable here, In Arlington
cemetery.
General Lnwton's death has caused
universal sorrow in Manila. No Ameri?
can ? ofllcer had greater popularity
among all ranks, and In his dealings
with the natives he commanded their
respect to a remarkable degree. The
Mayors whom he Installed in the neigh?
boring towns are arranging to attend
the funeral In u body.
To his executive ability and personal
leadership is chiefly due the brilliant
execution of the plan of campaign in
North Luzon, which has scattered the
Insurufctionnry force from San Isldro
to the Gulf of Llngayen. That section
of the island, which had to be travers?
ed during the very worst season of the
I year, presented difficulties considered
by nil acquainted with It to be almost
insurmountable, but General Lawton
thoroughly covered the program as
I Signed him.
"When he reached Tayug and found
that the other division had not arrived,
he went through to Dagupan on his
own responsibility. Although he Im?
posed great hardships on his men. he
Invariably shared their lot cheerfully.
Thirteen Americans, including three
officers, were wounded in the engage?
ment at Sa.n Mateo. where General
Lnwton was killed. Captain Breckcn
ridge's wound Is not considered dan?
gerous, although the bullet penetrated
Iiis arm and side.
It Is estimated that the Insurgents
numbered 500 and 'that half of them,
were armed with rifles. The Amer?
icans numbered 1,300. but the command
had been .much depleted by sickness.
The wagon train found the roads Im?
passable and was obliged to return.
The Insurgents retreated to the
northeast, leaving six dead.
I They have other forces near Taytay.
This region, although close to Manila.
I has proved the most dlflicult from
which to dislodge the enemy. It Is
now reported that the insurgents In?
tend to concentrate nt Santa Cruz.

MESSAGES OF CONDOLENCE.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 20.?The
President to-day sent the following
cablegram to General Otis:
"Executive Mansion, Dec. 20th.
'?Major Generai Otis, Manila:
"I have learned with inexpressible
sorrow of the death of Major General
Lawton, and ask to share with the
officers and men of the Eighth Corps
In their grief. One of the most gallant
officers of the army has fallen. At
the time the sad news came to us his
nomination as brigadier general of the
regular army was already made for
transmission to the Senate, but no
rank can enhance his fame. He rose
from the ranks of the Ninth Indiana
Volunteer Infantry, lining every grade
in the service to that of major general
of volunteers, anil in three wars was
conspicuous for bravery and devotion
to duty. The country mourns the
death of this Intrepid leader. Convey
to Mrs. Lnwton my heartfelt sympathy
in her overshadowing affliction.
"WILLIAM M'KINLEY."
Secretary Root cabled as follows:
War Department, Dec. 20,
Otis, Manila:
I Join with the officers and men of the
Eighth Army Corps In drepest regret
over the death of their h r ic comrade.
General Lawton. I beg you to convey
to Mrs. Lawton expres-lon of my sin?
cere sympathy. It was the Ideal death
of a soldier, as his splendid courage
and devot on to duty has met the ideal
of a sMd e:'s life. The sad news will be
announced to the army and due cere?
monies of respect to his memory will
be directed in general orders.
