 By Creditors.

 By Creditors. New York. Aug. 23-The brokerage offices of M. J. Sage & Co. in this city and in New Jersey, which suspended yesterday, were visited today by a large number of the patrons of the company and It's various agents in oth- CT cities, who wanted to know what the company intends to do about settling It's accounts.
 It Is said that the concern has 25.00o accounts to be adjusted throughout the country, a large number of which are located along the route of two wires to New Orleans. which it formerly oper- ated. According to one report, the losses amount to $2,o00.000.
 It was expected that formal action looking toward the appointment of an assignee would be taken today, and that possibly an attempt might be made to organize new company. in which some of the members of the other concerns would be included.
 William Beverly, chief clerk of M. J. Sage & Co. today was appointed as- signee for the firm. Counsel for Mir. Beverly said an inventory of the com pany's assets might be completed to- morrow.
 The postal authorities today held up a quantity of the concerns mail in the INGW I0fk postOElCe ana ucLdlteQ du ln~ spector to make inquiries.
 Assignee Beverly later said:
 'In checking over the accounts of M. J. Sage X Co, I find the liabilities about $330.000; assets, $116.000; divided in different banks throughout the coun- try"
 It has been reported that Al" Adams, the former policy king. was interested in the suspended firm. His son. Albert T Tw father had no interest whatever in the corporation of M. J. Sage & Co. Mir. Adams said:
 "The business of the company and the extent of the failure have been greatly exaggerated and the total lia- biIities will not exceed s$50.000. We had on the day of our failure over 5000 in cash in bank which will go to creditors. Other assets will swell this amount. and I am confident that If the creditors are patient they will be paid in full"

 e of two mula+to con. ly gashed by the long, heavy .s.- of the rural guards, who en2ed their career. Across the street in Neptune Park. a great crowd, moStly negro friends of Bandera, are watching the morgue with silent interest.
 The arrival of Bandera's body. here was the first news of the fight in which cured at the Silveira farm, near Punta Brava, fifteen miles from Havana. A detachment of .thirty-eight mounted rural guards under Captain Ignacio Delgado and Lieutenant Martinez was searching throughout the night for Randera's party. At two o'clock this morning the guards were breaking through a wire fence at the edge of tba Silveira farm when they were sud- denly fired upon by Bandera's follow ara twenty in number. The guards rushed upon the insurgents, but with fhe exception of their chief and his two leading comrades, they all succeed ed in getting away
 The guards made the chief and his .yo companions spskial object of sttack and all three received several h,,IIet wounds and all were horribly rnutilated bX machete cuts. Not one oV tbe puards was wounded. The bodies of Eandera and his companions were nIaced in a wagon and taken to Ha- 1ana An examination of Bandera's hodv showed that his principal wound vyss a severe machete blow on the bsad which cut off his left ear and made an ugly incision in his face. He also had bullet wounds in his arms and breast.
 Bodies are MutIIated.
 The condition of Bandera's two dead companions was even more shocking. Their faces and heads were terribly 9ashed and they also had machete wounds in their breasts and on their arms. The clothes of all three men showed every evidence of the hard life which they had been leading while eluding their pursuers.
 It has been an open secret among the Rural Guards that Randera would never live to be tried for treason, his death being the main object of the Government forces operating in Ha- vana province The smallness of the party accompanying Bandera has caus- ed surprise here. but it is believed that he only had a portion of his band with him Tn any case, however, 1t Is be- neved the insurrectionary movement in Western Havana has ben broken up by Bandera's death.
 It was announced from Havana, Au- gust 20, that General Bandera who greatly distinguished himself in the Cuban war for independence had left Arroyo Arenas, twelve miles west of

GENERAL BANDERA KILLED

Havana, Aug. 23.-Font Sterling. Sec retary of the Treasury, late tonight cleared up in a statement to the Asso- ciated Press a misleading announce ment made at the palace tonight to the effect that the Cuban Government had asked the United States for eight rapid fire guns manned by American artil- lerymen, to be used in the expressions of the insurrection. The facts are, ac- cording to the Secretary, that the Gov ernment has ordered from an American arms manufacturing company four rapid-fire guns, and that these pieces will be manned by former members of the artillery branch of the American army now here. If these guns prove to be effective. four or-more additional guns will be ordered. It is expected that experienced gunners can be pro- cured in the United States to man them. The United States has not been asked to do anything in the promises.
 The subject Of American intervention is not much discussed here and is re- garded as a remote possibility there ernment will be able to restore order in a short time
 The killing of the insurrectionary leader, General Quentin Bandera, today in an engagement between Rural Guards and a band of his followers. is regarded as dealing the insurrection heavy blow.
 Acting With Energy.
 The Government is acting with en- ergy in sending Rural Guards and vol unteers against the Santa Clara rebels and in dispatching 150 more men to de- fend Pinar del Rio against Pino Guerra
 The capture of San Juan de Martinez by Guerra's band was not a great sur prise, though 1t was not expected to nIo 4 by very small detachment of Rural Guards, while Guerras strength was much greater. The taking of Pinar fel Rio will be quite another matter since therc are in that vicinity twice as many troops as the insyrgent Pino Guerta can muster. It is Regarded as more than probable that the troops will take the offensive, and if possible draw Guerra into an open fight

Poe, being an unframed spirit, couldn't

cadets stole of late one night, and
were having high old time, when they
heard squad from the Point coming
down the road. You can imagine the
wild scattering. Two cadets sought
the cellar, and two more the rooms
above; Poe was small and was lifted
into a convenient sugar barrel. The
