PULAJANES FALL IN BATTLE.
General Wood Reports Clash in the
Visayas-One American Wounded.

Washington, D. C.-General Wood,
in command of the hePhilippines, cabled
the War Department that another
fight had occurred between the
Twenty-fourth Regiment of United
States Infantry and the constabulary
and $50 Pulajanes. General Wood
says that the information is from the
Department of the Visayas. In the
engagement the enemy's loss was
$50, while the American loss was
only one constabulary sergeant
wounded, indicating the utter rout Of
the rebels. General Wood adds that
there is no occasion for anxiety.
The Twenty-fourth Regiment of In
fantry is negro organization and
the fact that it was successful over
the Pulajanes is expected to have a
very good effect, because Of the fact
that the natives have heretofore
looked with disdain upon the negro
regiments and have discounted their
fighting ability. Woods dispatch also
tells of the Leyte Island clash:
Sudden outbreak Pulajanes oc-
Cured Island Leyte few days since.

feated. Loss twelve in one instance
and thirteen in other. with arms.

RUSSIAN MUT|NY QUELLED
White Flag Raised by the Svea-
s borg Rebels.
Hard Fighting Ends With Victory
For the GovernmeGt-Bombard-
mcnt by Ships Endcd.

st. Petersburg. Russia.-A tele-
/ phone message received by way of
Viborg said that Sveaborg Was still
! in the hands of the revolutionists,
but they have hoisted the white flag
in token Of surrender. They had
been joined by the cruisers Tsare-
witch, Bogatyre and Ishmira. Fur
ther re-enforcements of several hun
dred civilians from Helsingfors,
armed with rifles, had Joined the rev.
olutionists, who were already in full
possession OF four islands. They at
tackled a fifth and captured it after
hot fight.
Many mitrailleuses were employed
on both sides. The only part of an
Island in the group in possession of
the Government forces at the time
the message was sent was the west
ern half of Black Island, which was
held by.a battalion from the fortress
garrison.
Troops sent from Willmanstrand
to re-enforce the garrison had to re-
pair the railway track all the way.
Soldiers were placed on the roofs of
the cars as sentinels. During the
night groups of the Red Guard again
destroyed the railway after the troops
had passed.
There was renewed fighting be-
tween the mutinous troops and the
Government forces, but the positions
of the parties were unchanged when
the firing ceased.
It is reported that powder mag
azinc held by the mutineers was ex-
ploded by a cannon shot, causing
great destruction.
Loyal troops are reported to have
arrived in sufficient numbers to pre-
vent the mutineers from landing, and
insuring their eventual capture.
There are, however, unQuestionable
signs that the trouble may spread
to Cronstadt, Viborg and Willman-
strand. Even the knowledge OF this
does not seem to perturb the author
tiles, who are outwardly uncon-
cerned.
An official in an interview admitted
that the position was sufficiently serl-
ous, but he said he was confident that
The Sveaborg affair was an isolated
Dne, like similar affairs in the Black
Sea and at Moscow and Cronstadt.
The trouble, he declared, was purely
local. and the bulk of the army, as
we'll as the people, remains UNAFFECTED
by the revolutionary propaganda.
London.-A news agency dispatch
from Helsingfors says that order has
been restored on the Island of Ska
tudden, where some sailors started
mutiny of their own, and that Ito
sailors and eleven private persons
have been disarmed. A railway
bridge has been blown up near Rich
imiaki station, which is about forty
one miles from Helsingfors on the
st. Petersburg Railway.
A St. Petersburg dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company says
that sixty miles of railroad has been
destroyed, cutting Oh communication
between Helsingfors and st. Peters
burg. The crews Of four ironclads
mutinied while preparing to sail to
Cronstadt.

WIDOW GETS SAGE MILLIONS
Each Blood Nephew and Niece
Bequeathed Sum of $4,000.
Not a Cent to Charity-Mrs. Sage's
Fortune absolutely and For
cver''-Will is Dated 1901.

New York City. - Not a cent of
Russell Sage's money goes to char
ity!
By the terms of the will filed in
the Surrogate's Court of this county,
Mrs. Sage, the widow, comes into abb
solute control of the immense for
tune amassed by the late financier.
The only specific bequests besides
are one of $4,000 to Mr. Sage's sis
ter, Mrs. Chaplin, who is now dead,
and provision that each of his
nephews and nieces, Of whom there
are about score, shall receive $685.
600, or about $650,000. Apart from
these comparatively trifing bequests
the entire fortune is willed to the
widow ito have and to hold the same
absolutely and forever"
The will names Mrs. Sage an exc
cutrix and DR.. John P. Mum, Charles
w. Osborne and Almon Goodwin ex-
ecutors. Mr.. Goodwin has since died.
A gentleman who has been in close
touch with the business affairs Of Mr.
Sage, who desired that his name be
not used, said that the value of the
estate was between S70,000,000 and
SS0,000,000. Of this amount, he
said, about s30,000,00O was in loans
and the rest in real estate and securi-
ties.
This was corroborated by Charles
W. Osborne, manager for Mr.. Sage,
who is one of the executors.
The fact that no bequests to char
liable or Observation-Disclosures were
made by Mr.. Sage did not surprise
any Of his friends or business asso-
ciates. On the contrary, the will was
just what all who knew the family
had expected, because it was general
ly supposed that Mr.. Sage would
leave everything to his wife with the
understanding that she would attend
to the work Of giving away.
"The will is a credit to the old
man." said a friend down town. "He
was not interested in charities. His
wife is and is qualified to do the right
thing at the right time, and Mr.. Sage
did we'll to leave to her the fortune
and the credit Of distributing it. The
will is not miserly. it merely shows
that Mr.. Sage wasn't bidding for post
mortem eulogies."
The will is dated February II,
1901, and was drawn up by Almon
Goodwin, OF the firm of Goodwin,
Vanderpoel & Thompson. 1t is wit
messed by Edward Townsend and
Richard w. Freedman.
Talk of a contest will now prob
ably dissolve into thin air 1t was
mostly based on guess that the will
to be filed was of very recent date.
1t is not likely that any one will set
up the proposition that Russell Sage
was not in full possession of his men,
tai faculties five years ago.
Mr.. Sage in his will specifically
cuts off the bequest of any person
who "objects to the probate of the
will or directly or indirectly con-
tests the same"
