HOLDING THE REBELS
SOUTH OF MANILA.
Nine Thousand Hemmed in Be-
tween Lake and Ocean-Be-
lieyed They'll Surrender.

Washington, May 5.-The con
tlnued rebel demonstrations south
OF Manila are causing no appre-
hension to the war department
official, as the brigades of Oven
shire and Hall are said to be ans
pie for every emergency. To.
gether they have about 1900
men, beside two regiments of
regulars who have just arrived at
Manila and are available to REIN
force these brigades.
In view of these sharp demons
strations to the south the work
done by Lawton on his expedition
to Laguna de Bay is receiving
credit not heretofore accorded to
it. One of main results of the
expedition was to destroy the
small craft by which the rebels
might have crossed the lake and
moved north on the rear of Mac
Arthur's forces. Now they are
hemmed in on a narrow strip of
land between the lake and the
ocean, unable to cross the lake,
while the march is too long to
circle the lake to the south. Thus
the work of Lawton is holding the
rebels, some 1900 in number, to
the south, leaving Macarthur
free from danger of attack in
force from the rear.
The report that the Filipinos
were trying to break through the
American lines is evidence to the
war department that this force is
becoming short of supplies.
1t is evidently Gen. OTIS i'm
tention to remain on the defensive
so long as he can keep this separ.
ate from the main body of Agui-
naldo. 1t is said Gen. Otis be-
lives that he can starve this south
ern army into submission. Malats
is a suburb of Manila, near the
bay. The other point mentioned
in the dispatch, San Pedro Macati,
is between Manila and Laguna de
Bay, and is one of the outposts
which protects the waterworks.

FARMERS SHOULD
REAP THE FRUITS.
A ANNOUNCEMENT AS TO THE
SUMNER INSTITUTES.
What President Hartzog Says.
His Circular Relating to Dates
and Subjects of Discussion.
Finale One at Clemson.
The State. 9TH inst.

The State. 9TH inst.
President Henry Hartzog of
Clemson college has completed all
the arrangements for the farmers
institutes to be held in many of
the counties of the State this
summer and has made the follow.
ing announcement in regard to
them:
Farmers Institutes will be held
in limited number of counties
this summer for the instruction of
the people in various branches of
agricultural science. The course
of lectures will be arranged to
present to those IN attendance the
results of the most recent investi.
cations in theoretical and practical
agriculture, and, as far as possi>
bic, to make the subjects dis
cussed meet the special needs of
the locality where the institute is
held.
Ali expenses of the meeting
will he net by the college. The
community in which the institute
is held is expected to provide a
suitable place for the speaking, to
advertise the meeting and to ar
range the minor details. 1t is
desirable that local speakers and
writer's assist in the exercises of
the institutes by discussing sub.
jects which they are most in
terested, or in which they have
had successful experience.
1t may not be practicable al
ways to hold the institute on the
day desired by the community, as
different places sometimes ask for
the same date. The final selection
OF the date must, therefore, be
left to the college authorities, but
the wishes of the community will
be observed as far as possible.
1t is the policy Of the college
to lengthen, when desirable, the
sessions of the Institutes. We
realize that the best results can
not be obtained from a one day
meeting. The scope and char
acter of the work should be
broadened year after year. When
sufficient interest is manifested
the institute will be conducted for
a longer period than day.
This work will begin about the
first of August, and applications
should be sent in at once. Specify
the time and place, and the names
of the gentlemen who are willing
to serve on the local committee.
The subjects discussed at the
Institutes should be adapted to
local conditions. We therefore
ask those interested to designate
the subjects that are believed to
be of the most interest to the
locality.
Among the subjects that the
members of the institute staff are
prepared to discuss may be men,
toned:
Improvement of Soil, 'Gras-
SOS and Legumes," ''Horticult-
ure," Plant Diseases, "Botanv, ~
entomology" "Insects and In.
secticides," "Methods of Spray
ipg," clarifying" "Animal Hus.
bandry," "Farm Manures,
"Veterinary Science" "Fertili.
zers," Chemistry of Soils, !"
"Truck Farming" "Drinkinp
Waters" "Road Improvement"
and "lndustrial Education"
