SALOON FIGHT.

house" at Ernest Woodrich's saloon, III
East Seventh street, shortly after II
o'clock last evening, a stranger giving the
name Of Frank Smith is at the city
hospital with three severe scalp wounds
about his head, and may have sustained
more serious injury.
Woodrich was arrested and will be
held pending the outcome of Smiths
injuries. Smith was struck on the head
with a heavy chair.
The only version of the fight is told
by Woodrich. He says Smith entered
the saloon shortly before midnight and
asked permission to perform a few tricks
with pieces of paper The tricks were
done, and Woodrich says Smith collected
small sums from several patrons of the
place, and purchased several rounds of
drinks. By this time Woodrich desired
to close UP. and asked Smith to leave.
Smith refused to, according to the sa-
loonkeeper's story, and. the front door
having been locked meantime, was put
out of the rear door. Shortly after Smith
was elected several stones were thrown
through the rear windows, and when

GEN. OTIS HAS LITTLE TO SAY
ABOUT PHILIPPINES.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4-After live
days In quarantine a Angel island, Mai
Gen. Otis, who arrived last Wednesday
from Manila, was allowed to land today
Several cases of smallpox on board the
transport Meade were the causes of the
quarantine, and Gen. Otis and all on
board had to submit to vaccination
Gen. Otis was brought over from Angel
island on special steamer furnished by
Gen. Shafter, who went to meet the re-
turning general, accompanied by Surgeon
Major Arthur and Capt. Wilson. The
party was driven to the Occidental hotel,
where Gen. Otis spent the afternoon re-
ceiving callers and preparing for his de-
parture East.
1t had been decided to receive Gen
Otis here with full military honors, but
for some reason this ceremony was
omitted
When seen by a reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press Gen. Otis, in response to
request that he make j statement of the
situation in the Philippines, said that
while 1t would give him great pleasure
to comply with the request, he was con-
strained to decline, for the reason that
such action, in his judgment, would be
inconsistent with his duty as an officer
of the army.
Asked what would be the effect on the
war II the report OF AgutnaldoS death
We're true, Gen. Otis said that the war
was practically ended, that Aguina!do's
followers were deserting him fast, and
those who now remain with him are gen
orally Of the lower class. Most of his Of
ficers have left him, though some still
remain in touch with him. Some of those
who have left him are engaged in busi>
ness in Manila, and others are hiding in
the mountains. Many Of his closest fol.
lowers are very friendly toward the
United States, and that as soon as the
natives in general gain confidence in the
friendly Offices of the Americans, there
would be little difficulty in bringing them
to terms.
Asked as to the commercial value Of the
islands the general said that they We're
vastly rich especially in hemp, sugar aad
tobacco, and that as soon as the situa-
tion became more quiet business of al
kinds would increase tremendously.
Gen. Otis would not state whether or
not he favored the retention of tho
islands by this country, and in response
to such a query he merely said:
I'VE have got them now. What are we
to do about iti'

LONDON, June 5.-The Times, dealing

interest I'm China and the enormous dam
age to the railway and other properties
that has already resulted from the action

"in company with our American kim
folks. the only Western nation whose in
terests In the far East are perhaps quite
identical, in most respects, with our own,
but that of course, is a matter entirely
for them to decide. In any case, we must
assert our hegermony on penalty Of for
feiting It, and we must assert 1t with

Grave as these advices are, they have

Owing to the peculiar character of the

The state department does not con-
template the use of United States troops,
