THE PHILIPPINE SITUATION.
Armed Resistance Cominjr to a Close
Gen. MalveComes in.
Manila "April 16. General
Malver has unconditionally sur-
rendered to Brigadier Ge'neral
JFrankfin Bell at Lipa, 6atan-
jas province, "with the entire
insurgent force of the Dtovinces
7
of Laguna.and Batangas.
; General Bell says his (Bell's)
influence is sufficient to quell the
insurrectionary movements in
in Tayabas and Cavite provinces
arid capture all those in the, field
who have not yet surrendered;
but, Malvar has ordered the
complete surrender of 'every in
surgent to the nearest American
force.
General Wheaton reporting to
the division headquarters, .says j
that all resistance in his depart
ment has ended and that the
, -ivmpmos in meaewnuon wmph
can be allowed to return to their
. I 1- - . -
homes in time to plant tho crops.
General Wheaton is especially
pleased with General Bell's care
of the natives confined in the
camps. The officers in charge
are held personally responsible
for the quality and quantity of
the food served out and for the
general welfare of the occupants
pf tho camp.
After scouring the mountain
pastes General Bell employed
volunteer bolomen for protec
tion against ladron. Numbers
of ilipinos express the liveliest
satisfaction, at the treatment
accorded to themselves and to
their families who were in the
( eventration camps.
General wheaton gives Gen
r;ii cll groat credit for his
;ti;.:fa;. pabilitv in conducting
the '',-,!i(paign. He was in the
tin 1 I o:, horseback, day and night,
pOi .i': dly superintending the
nio- duous operations.

his coi iolete submission.
T!. lack of news from the

Consolidating School Houses.
The supeVyilendent and board
of education in Buncombe coun-
ty, North Carolina, have begun
in earnest a crusado against in-
! convenient, uncomfortable, un
attractive, unsanitary school
houses. Old houses are to bo
repaired and new houses built
wherever needed. Rut there ar
to be fewer houses rather than
more. Tho people of the county
have seen the value of consoli
dation and cooperation, and
small districts will bo united into
larger ones, and one good house
well located will take tho place
of two or three or four smaller
ones. This will permit tho
schools to bo graded and will addl
to their ( fficiency in many ways.
These large central school houses
will have three rooms, so ar
rauged that a fourth can easily
bo added. The houses will be
well arranged for light and ven
tilation, and will 'soon .become
the gathering places of the peo
pie and 1hr centres of culture in
their districts. Buucomho county
is seitin,' a vood example for
other counties in, tho 'South.
Within foasonablo limits, the
larger thedistrict and tho school
the better.
