when the first section of the third bat
talon arrived, at $3.50. What it lacked
in numbers, though, it made up in ear
nestness. If there had been any kind
of certainty as to the time the troops
would arrive, the reception accorded TO
this regiment, which has become a part
of Salt Lakes history, would have been
most generous.
DOUBTFUL as to Arrival.
The Western officials gave the
vaguest kind of answers to inquiries.
and few people had any idea as to
when the soldiers would arrive, until
the first train had actually reached the
station. When the section pulled in
there was practically nobody at the de-
pot except the usual crowd of loungars
and employees.
The soldiers didn't seem a bit dis
heartened over the unintentional frosti-
ness of their reception in a city where
the regiment was so long stationed and
where it has so many friends. They
piled off the cars by dozens and, leav-
ing only handful to guard the train,
hurried up town to greet old acquaint-
ances.
1t had been given out that the train
would be here at least an hour, and
that gave everybody an abundance Of
time.
When the first stragglers reached the
business section of the city their uni
forms and the well-remembered ''16" on

Major Kirkham in Command.

The train consisted of two baggage
cars, two box cars, seven tourist Sleep
erS, one Pullman and caboose. Ma
jor Kirkham was in command, his ju-
nior officers being First Lieutenant

containing los men each, composed tie
detachment Most of the officers went
up town at once, for nearly all of them
had formerly been stationed here.
Major Kirkham remained at the sta
ton. He was recently promoted into
the regiment from the Twelfth infantry
AS he walked up and down the plat
form smoking a big. black cigar, Major
Kirkham talked cheerfully of the long
trip from Jefferson barracks, No., to
Salt Lake City, and the longer trip
from here to the Philippines. He said
the journey thus far had been very
pleasant, all things considered. and he
saw no reason to anticipate any disa-
greeable features.
Major Kirkham believes the Sixteenth
will not have as serious a time in the
Philippines as it had in Cuba. "How-
ever, if it should be necessary for US to
fight" he added, the Sixteenth will do
its duty just as gallantly in the island
of Luzon as it did in the island of
Cuba
During the wait of the first section,
citizens continued assembling at the
depot. Each arriving car was filed
with people, and there were some hys-
terically cordial greetings between the
old-timers and their friends. One
husky sergeant walked down between
the tracks with his arm around a half
supporting and wrinkled little woman,

Manila, May 26.-The events of the
past weeks have emphasized the need
of a much larger army here, without
which, according to the best authorities
in Manila, it would be attempting the
impossible to expect to maintain su-
premacy in the Philippine islands. The
inadeQuacy of the American forces is
said to be responsible for the large loss
in the number of small encounters,
without material results as a compen-
sation. Most of the fighting has Deen
in territory which the Americans had
swept, but had been compelled to aban-
don because they could not spare troops
to hold il.
Tne forces commanded by Generals
Macarthur and Lawton held two i'm
portant lines of communication and
commerce, the railroad to San Fernan-
do and the Rio Grande river. But much
OF the country they have swept, includ-
ing scores OF the smaller towns and
some of the larger ones, have been left
uncovered, simply for want of men TO
hold them. and the insurgents have re-
turned and are occupying the towns the
Americans abandoned and are camping
in the jungles and woods outside of
others, on the watch for chances to at
tack scouting parties and harass the
garrisonB with greater forces. This is
the kind of warfare they prefer to pur-
sue.
1t appears the FilipinoS who attacked
the Third regiment between San Miguel
and Baliuag We're part of the Pho del
Pillars army. They came from the
south. across the mountains, presuma-
bly, TO meet a wagon train which Gen
eral Lawton expected along the road.
They also planned to capture several
large detachmentS and were placed in
ambush at different points. They fired
from the jungle at a distance of 200
yards, and gave the Americans one of
the hardest fights experienced in the
campaign. The Filipinos lost more
heavily than the Americans in all the
recent encounters. The insurgent gem
erals take the loss of arms more 10
heart than they do the loss of men.
Foreigners who have arrived here
from the insurgents country under the
recent order of expulsion, say the Gem
eteries in all the towns are filled with
fresh graves. 4 majority of the Filipi-
nos wounded died because the insurg-
ent hospitals are inadequate, medicines
are scarce and they have few surgeons |
except Spanish captiYes who have been |
impressed.

fore met with success in exploring the
artesian regions for water.
A great little town is Parowan-one
of the oldest in the south. The valley
in which it lies raises thousands of
bushels of grain, and any amount OF
fruit. But her famous product un-
doubtedly is sweet singers. With the
possible exception of Beaver, a much
larger place, Parowan can boast or the
best choir in the south, which is say
ing great deal. To Thomas Durham
belongs the credit for the high stand
ard it has attained. He has welded
the baton in his little circle for forty
years, and will continue to do so, if
appearances count for aught, for
twenty years more.
But speaking of border towns, the
people of Beaver believe they have
positively the great and only. They
are as proud of it as Willie in his new
top boots, and have no hesitation in
saying so. If you don't believe Beaver
is the best town west of Portland, Me,
and east of San Francisco. just keep
it to yourself-or better still. don't go
near the town. Beaver is bounded on
the north by mountain of gold.

early SOS. The town has been growing
ever since, more rapidly since the
branch academy was recently located
near there. A man from Kansas set
tied in Beaver and opened a large
hotel He more recently erected an
undertaking establishment, and was
elected veterinary surgeon and pre-
cinct justice.

ually in and out. They believe Beaver

to a realization of the fact that part OF
the old regiment was in town. Depot
bound cars suddenly swarmed with
passengers and by o'clock or little
after several hundred people had as
sembled in the r. G.. W. station yards.
Then came a time of hand shaking. of
promenading up and down the plat
form. of renewing halfforgotten
friendships, and of rekindling the ashes
of smouldering love affairs.
A large majority of the enlisted men
were recruits. Only a small fraction be-
longed to the command when ii was
stationed here, but the new-fiedged sol
diers were made much of for the sake
of their regiment. and they had just as
good a time as the older men. They
