~ over, said E. c. Mccullough at the
Kenyon yesterday As Mccullough is on
his way from the islands to Washington,
ne Is naturally conversant with the situa-
tion, especially as he has held the position
OF government printer in Manila for some
tlIne past When shown the dispatch in
me Herald Of yesterday morning to the
effect that there had been severe fight
ing outside of Manila he exclaimed that
II must nave been the emanation from the
Ierule brain of some energetic CORE
spondent. No." he said, there must be
mistake somewhere, for the situation is
wen IN hand there" Proceeding he stated
mat he had occasion to be thrown in
odlly contact with General Otis whom he
described as a very energetic worker who
started at his desk at in the morning
ana very often did not leave it for the
day until 1 o'clock the next morning.
IhoSe who criticise General Otis" said
Mccullough. ARE for the major portion
hade up OF those who know nothing in
regard TO the Circumstance The modes
OF warfare out there are totally different
from what we have been used to. The
natives are hard to catch, and when en-
countered they meet US in a very friendly
spirit and then sneak off when they get
a chance and hunt up their guns, which
they nave slowed away in the bush, and
Try and shoot our men down when they
least expect it
Coming down to the subject of his par
tlcular office in Manila, he said that he
mad some sixty American printers under
hiIn, also eighty FiliDinOs- As TO the
latter in the role of typeStickerS he said
that he had very little use for them. He
then proceeded to eXpatiate upon that
wonderful raphically-'The
Mania Freedom, which employed native
labor from the devil to the head man. The
traveller from the land of the little brown
men also brought news of some of Utah S
sons who are sweltering away under the
orassy skies south of the equator.
Don MusSer he said had ben frozen out
OF the Freedom and now was filling a
position in the depot quartermaster' 5
o1flce. Major r. w. Young, he said, was a
prime faYorite out there, while Douglas
Young and little Ike Russell were carving
out destinies with big swath.
Taken all in all, however, he said Manila
at the present time was not the most ideal
place TOR man 20 go to who wanted TO
better his circumstances unless he had a
government position to hold down.
Things were IN very unsettled state, and
the saloon men were getting into deS-
perate straights owing to the fact that
all the troops were up country. In the
halcyOn days of some months ago every
one, he said, went into the liquor business
in fashion that placed the saloons in and
around Manila as thick as the proverbial
hops.
Mccullough proposes to stay in town un-
til this evening, when he will proceed to
Washington, to sail from San Francisco
for Manila on June l.
Lieutenant w. F. Pearson strolled into
the Kenyon yesterday morning and with
out the wink of an eyelaSh wrote w. F.
Pearson and wife in the register. Half
an hour later all the officers and ladies
at the Fort came down town and ten
dered their congratulations.
j. Goldschmidt of Berlin is numbered
among the guests at the KnutsfOrd The
hn= iCff aA -
United States on several occasions, the
hrst time being in the capacity of a
commissioner to Philadelphia in 1876 and
again he represented Berlin at a later
chamber OF commerce convention in the
same city.
Goldschmidt, besides being the presi-
dent Of one of the largest breWerieS in
Germany, at one time had a seat in the
relchstag. In speaking of his impressions
of the United States last night he said
that he was simply astounded with the
proportions of the American breWeries,
especially in the city of St Louis. Chang
ing the subject he proceeded to state that
the prevailing topic of discussion in all
circles in Germany today was that of
the BOer war. Invariably he said every
one felt considerably dOwncaSt whenever
the hardy Beers encountered defeat, but
at the same time every intelligent German
realized that it would be better for the
Beers, better for England and the world
for England to win"
Then for the space of ten minutes the
TeutOn INDUCED in the paStime of
throwing bouquets at Salt Lake TO even
tu3lly translate portions of a letter which
he had been writing to his partner in
Berlin wherein the babbling brooks OF
Utah appeared UNDERSIGNED.
w. B. Lewis of Denver came in from
the east yesterday and registered at the
KnutsfOrd. Lewis, who is anxious that
his arrival shall be kept quiet spent the
day around the railroad offices hunting
rates from Soda Springs, where he is
interested in the sulphur prospects in
connection with the Sulphide Fiber works
of Denver, in which he holds an interest
