AGDINALDO'S FIGHTING MEN. Filipino Method of Resisting the Americans i'3 to Mass Forces Instead ol Using the Skirmish Formation. The INSURGENTS RECRUITED PROM Most of tli American in the Tint ' Innines are beeommo convinced that the backbone of the insurgent oppoai- tion is broken. There are numerous rumor pointing to an early collapse of the insurrection. One of these ia that General Tio del Pilar, the best tighter among the Filipino officer. will desert Agninaldo and give his support to the American. The Spaniard)!, reasoning from their experience with the natives, re (use to believe that the rebellion is anywhere near pnt down. They de clare that the Filipinos will not take their defeat at Malolos, with the loss of the city and the removal of their so-called government, seriously to heart. On the contrary, the Span . iards predict that the insurgents will hover near the American lines, both ering them as mnch as possible, and, when attacked iu force, dissolve, only to reappear at other points. This sort of tactios, the Spaniards say, will be followed until the wet season compels the Americans to be housed in barracks, and then the Filipinos will return and reoccnpy such towns as the United States troops do not gar rison. With the next dry season a repetition of the present operations will begin. Time alone will show how much there is in this theory; bnt, as against it, it must be borne in mind that the Spaniards in all their domination of the Philippines never gave the inhabitants a demonstration of power comparable in effectiveness to that given them by the United States. ' A priest and two members of the flo-called Philippine Congress, who hid themselves in the woods during the fighting which preceded the cap ture of Malolos, retnrned there and declared that 2000 of the Filipino sol diers were anxious to give up fight ing, and would do so, but for their officers, who keep them underarms. The whole country between Malolos and Caloocan is now fall of friendlies, mostly women, children and old peo ple, who are returning to their homes, carrying white flags. The Americans are trying to gain the confidence of the inhabitants by proving to them that if they will return aud attend to their ordinary work peacefully no harm will befall them. Two hundred and fifty oivilians have come back to their nomes in Malolos. Two hundred women and children, with a sprink ling of unarmed men, supposed to be warriors, came to the outskirts of Ma lolos on the sea side of the city and afterward sneaked away, carrying all the goods they could. The mainstay of Agninaldo'a army are natives unnsed to the arts of mod ern warfare and schooled only in the crude methods of the savage. Their "' INSCBdENT COUBrEB WITH A DISPATCH yOB AOUINALUO. " w . chfefarm is the bow; their sole ambi tion revenge. They right from fear, not through eourage. They serve the ambitions of their ohiefa. To them the majority love of country is con tracted to love, through dread, of ruler -despots. To them the Bed Cross emblematic of humanity and civilization in war means only the suggestion for a new tieooration for their half-naked bodies. FILIPINOS IN A0TION They would shoot without further thought the wearer of it simply to get that decoration. These native have beeu described iu dispatehes: their guerilla style of tkting;. their cruelty to foreigners who fail into their hands; their heiedi ty notion of revenge. VARIOUS SECRET SOCIETIES. The more intelligent natives, brought np in and about Manila are the only ones who are intrusted with the mod ern gun. The Tagalos and other tribesmen would be as apt to kill them selves as the Americans with the Mau ser rifles. The reports of the tremendous losses to the natives are not mirpris iug to one acquainted with their mode of warfare. Their method of attack differs widely from the cautions and stealthy approach of the American Indian. The Filipinos seem to gain WIS Ir . " I V '.

The flsh from their wabbly dug-out canoes al ways in company, and no native ever thinks of venturing out alone at night. In fact, a characteristic of their plex character is their lively desire TrMPINO WATCH-TOWER SEAR PACO. for conioanionahin. Thia trait u strongly brought oat in their method of fighting. They mass themselves together like a lot of sheep, and, in stead of spreading out in skirmish lines, eaoh man taking advantage of some natural obstacle for nrnt.nnt.ion they rush forward, often with arms thrown around eaoh other, much like a gigantic flying wedge on the football field. With this method of approach it is not mtuouit to see bow the rapid fire guns of the American artillery could tear holesin their formation and no doubt layout more men than would have been the case had the attack been made by skirmish lines. At present it would be a most dif ficult matter to say what course the insurgents will pursue. Aguinaldo has a fond hope for a Tagal Eepublio composed of the entire trrorm. Tim whole Tagal race is most ambitious. In the iusurgeut army every man j wears some mark indicating position, ior ail oiaira to be otlioers of various rank. It has not been long sinoe - ',IRE AT WILL!" Aguinaldo deolared that he was ready to disbaud his army just as soon a assured that the United States in tended permanently to occupy the islauds. But that does uot mean that Aguinaldo means to keep his promise, or that he ever bad any intention of doing to. for on former occasions the insurgent leader has violated hit promises. If the insurgents lay down their arms the? will avert oreal trouble and if they are indnced to do this it in i. - a ... . win ue one greatly to tue fear inspired by our soldiery. Most of the insurgents now with Agninaldo are recruited from the numerous native secret organizations The principal of these is the Catanu nan Society, which is said to have some connection with Free-masonry. This society has been in existence for several uunureu years, ana no ilonht was connected with some of the nh risings against Spanish rule in the Philippines. In past years thousands 01 i ue members of this society have been subjected to (mnriennmont ami hundreds have paid the death penalty ior supposed connection with tne so ciety. But to-day the Catannnnn So ciety is stronger than ever, and has now a membership of over COO.OOl) in these islands. Another prominent society is the Philintnnn Socinl Club. originally formed by Dr. Itizal, who . ' I y , - :M '4' was executed for supposed participa tion in insurgent uprisings. For a long time the natives were not able to maintain au organization in Manila, owing to the vigilnnce of the Spanish police and spies. But the Philippine Social Club lived aud to-doy numbers in its membership the leading Fili pinos of Manila. Just what position these societies have taken in regard to our occupation is not known. Un doubtedly they .can be a great aid or great menace to us. FREE-A FINE TROPICAL ISLAND. Met On the Coast of Porto Rlro anil May lie 11 ixl For the Asking-.

The method of making a skimmilk starter, taught by the Ohio dairy sohool, I think is about as successful as any. Four or five clean pint jars are filled with milk from different patrons or difforent cans. These are covered and placed in a warm place until they ore coagulated. Thry are tneu examined and tasted, and one selected which meets the require ments. Then a can of skimmilk equal to six or eight per cent, of the amount of cream you expect to ripen the next day. This is placed in a tank of water heated by steam until the milk reaches pasteurizing temperature, 155 degrees. It ia then Allowed to stand ten or fif teen minutes, then placed in cold water and cooled to seventy-five or eighty degrees, and a selected jar of good sour milk added. If kept up to proper temperature in twenty-four hours tbo entire amount will be soured iu the same condition, ready for use ns a starter. The starter is kept ten unys or two weeks, or as long as it re mains good, by pasteurizing more milk cnoh dny nud adding a dipperful of the old starter. C. H. Eckles, oi the Iowa Dairy School, before the Massachusetts Butter Makers. The Cellar. The bnildings on a farm should he as commodious and practically beauti ful as the farmer is able to build. In some States the farms have indifferent houses, but large and elegant barns, if the term elegant may be used in such a connection. This plan is not to be commended. The most valuable crop grown upon the farm is the crop that is growing iu the house, and it should lie housed iu a building that is as perfect that mechanism and ob servance of the laws of hygiene can make it. There is plenty of room on the farm for the construction of the house, aud it should be built of suffi cient sizo to permit of lnrge, airy rooms, if the pocket book will admit of such a structure. The cellar de serves more attention than it usually receives. A hole in the ground is not necessarily such ns should be under a house. It should never be forgotten that the dampness aud odors of this hole will permeate the whole house. Bad cellars have been the cause of an immense amount of disease and death. On ground that is not nuturally abso lutely dry and there is comparative ly little such ground, and is exclu sively found in the arid sections the outside of the cellar wall should bo cemented to keep out the water. It should contain a cement floor. If there is uo coment floor, at the bot tom of tho wall flat stones should bo lnid to extend a fow iuchos beyond the wall. This will be an absolute prevention of the entrance of rats at tho bottom of tho wall. The rat wheu it enters at the bottom of the wall al ways goes straight dowu the side, straight down the aide, and it does not know enough to go outside the protruding stone. If there is a oement floor that precaution will not be neces sary. A cellar thus constructed will be dry, and if the entrance is proper ly guarded, which it always should be, it will be rat proof. The Epito mist. A Complete Compost. First, pnt down a layer of vegetable matter, such as barnyard manure, night soil, heu mauure, refuse from the vege table and fruit piles, scropiugs from the woo Ipile, rubbish from the gar den, in fact anything and everything in the shape of a litter. Make the layer ten feet wide by twenty feet long. and six inches deop. Over thin sprin kle fifteen pounds potash, dissolved in five or six gallons of water, whioh will turn it into a jelly. Then over this scatter evenly one or two barrels of unslaked lima and cover the whole evenly with two in of fine earth; the finer the better. Repeat this as often as you have enough matter to make a layer, as above desoribed. When the pile is three to fonr feet high put on enough water to slake the lime, and thoroughly saturate the whole mixture, but not enough to wash or leach it, as that would carry away the best of the fertilizer. The water will cause the potash and lime to pro duce a powerful heat, and a very sud den decomposition of all vegetable matter. This amount of material will make one load of fertilizer worth three or four cf common barnyard manure. tteflidAM it will Anmn nnt n a (In. ashes, and conitrerytU be very easily bandied. Tue mpo't can be made without potash d lyue. but not with out the water. xtTvill not be as rich plant food without the lime and potash nor pearly as well balanced chemically.' The potash may be ob tained from the crude potash, or two barrels of good hard wood ashes evenly spread over each layer, instead of the nueeu pounds or potash, will be iubI as good. It is one of the best and cheapest fertilizers I can get. Any thing and everything can be put i-ito it, even to a dead horse, ox, horns, hoofs, old rags and the scrapings from the woodpile, simply by adding more potash to the last named matters, and it will all be converted into a splendid fertilizer. The wash suds and the slops from the chambers should be saved for wet ting down the pile, or can be thrown on as made, as they will increase the value ol the mauure. The liquid mauure from the stable should not be allowed to go to waste, but all putintc the compost heap, so that nothing be lost. 0. J. Prowse. The lnd of Inun.
