AT LADYSMITH BURNED New York. Oct. 28.—The provisions of the will of the late Cornelius Van derbilt were made public tonight in a statement by Chauncey M. Dejiew. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt inherits the larger portion of his father’s fortune and becomes practically the head of the Vanderbilt family. The will makes no mention of the marriage of Corneliu« Vanderbilt, jr., and Miss Wilson, nor to any quarrel between father and son because of the union, but apparently the father’s displeasure was visited ti|>on the eldest eon, he receiving, all told, under the terms of the will, but $1,500,000, and $1,000,000 of this to be held in trust by the executors. Al fred Gwynne Vanderbilt is, of course, the residuary legatee, and will jossess a fortune of probably $40,000,000 to $50,000,000. Gladys, Reginald and Gertrude (Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney) will receive about $7,500,000 each. But Mr. Dej>ew states that Alfred will give from his share enough to Cornelius to make the latter as rich as his brother and sisters. Alfred will, therfore, turn over to Cornelius about $6,000,000. Supposed to Be Andree’s Men. London, Oct. 28.—The Times pub lishes a letter from Rear-Admiral Cam pion, summarizing a story received from his nephew, now at Fort Church hill, Hudson bay, which says some Eskimo traders up north some time ago shot two white men, supposed to be long to the Andree expedition.

London, Oct. 28.—A belated dis- patch from Glencoe camp admits that very few Boers’ dead and wounded were found on the field after the battle in that vicinity. The correspondent at tempted to explain this by saying: “Throughout the light, the Boers, in accordance with their custom, buried their dead and carried off their wound ed immediately after they fell, those left representing the casualties during the lust moments of fighting.” Pan Francisco, Oct. 30. — Mrs. P. W. Patton, the wife of Captain l'atton, whose vessel, the American ship George B. Stetson, was turned at sea oft' the coast of Formosa al>out two months ago, has just arrived here, and tells a graphic story of the destruction of the vessel. She was the only woman j aboard. “I did not understand at first when the alarm was given.” said Mrs. Pat- ton, “but a moment later my husband came into the cabin .and tol l me to knrry and clothe the baby aud myself for a trip in an open boat. By the time I was clothed and reached the deck, the flames had got aft as far as the mainmast, and the rigging almost above my head was all ablaze. “The longboat was in the water long- side with eight of the crew. Just as I got into the l>oat there was a loud roar and the skylight and roof of the cabin were lifted oft' by an explosion of the eases that had formed in the room aft. A moment later the whole ship was a mass of flames, and as we pulled away the mainmast fell. A few min utes later there was a sudden roll, and the ship went down. “Two days and two nights we were in that boat. About noon of the sec ond day we saw land and that evening we landed on the little island of Ti Fin Tsen, which was taken from the Chi nese by the Japanese during the recent war. We landed at a small village of the natives aud the baby and 1 were the greatest curiosities the natives had ever seen.” The George B. Stetson was bound from Portland, Or., for Tien Tain, with a cargo of railroad lumber, in com mand of Captain Patton. She had a crew of 20 men. On the evening of September 10, off the east coast of For mosa, smoke was discovered coming up out of the forepeak. Captain Patton tried to rally his crew, but they were panic-stricken, and paid no heed to dis cipline. The boats were launched to save them from burning. From the island the survivors of the Stetson went to Nagasaki in a small Japanese steamer. < Of its entire grant, the Northern Pa cific has now received 21,718,268 acres, and 14,851,832 acres are still due.

New York, Oct. 28.—A special to the Herald from Washington says: Prompt declaration by congress in favor of asserting and maintaining complete sovereignty over the Philippines at whatever cost, and in favor of the most liberal kind of self-government when the insurrection ends, is what the presi dent wants. It is also what the Phil ippine commissioners want. There is a great deal of work for the president to do on his message, and for the commis sioners to do on their rejort, but thii one important conclusion is certain. Failed to Catch the Powder. Vancouver, B. C., Oct. 28.—P. M. Hanson, of Rudley, Cal., was killed in the Van Anda mine, Texada island, yesterday. It is said that George Bailey tossed him a bag of powder which he failed to catch, causing the explosion. Explosion In a Laboratory.

Wealthy Ilo Ilo Visayan Violates His Oath. HEAD A OF REBEL JUNTA Hi« Arrest May Lead to an Outbreak of Native«—I nsurgent« Repulsed in a Skirmish North of San Isidro. Manila, Oct. 30.—M. Rnperto San- tiago, one of the wealthiest Visayans who had taken the oath of allegiance to the United States, and who posed as a friend of the Americans, has been arrested at Ho Ilo, while other Visa yans are being watched. The prisoner is charged with organizing a revolu tionary junta. Santiago owns sugar estates throughout the island of Negros. It is asserted that a council of 10 and the manager of the junta met daily at Santiago’s office for the purpose of engineering an extensive scheme of col lections for an insurrection. One of Santiago’s steamers was captured car rying supplies to the rebels. His ar rest caused rumors of an outbreak of the natives of Ilo Ilo, and precautions have been taken to prevent trouble. A battalion of the Eighteenth regi ment and marines of the gunlioat Con cord, formed an expedition at Concep tion, Northern Pansy, to search for the Concord’s coxswain, who was lured ashore by a white flag, and who is sup posed to be a prisoner. They found the place deserted, and burned every house as a punishment. Want to Fight Boers. An informal meting was held here this evening of men proposing to pro ceed to South Africa to fight for the British. More than 100 Englishmen, Australians and Americans decided to go. They organized a party and be lieve they can Becure 200 more men. The volunteers include ex-soldiers, frontiersmen, Englishmen familiar with the Transvaal, and commercial clerks. * A Brisk Fight. Manila, Oct. 80.—General Young’s column, which left San Isidro at day break, moving northward in the direc tion of Santa Rosa, encountered the enemy strongly entrenched just beyond the Tuboatin river. A brisk fight en sued and the rebels were repulsed. Two Americans were killed and one wounded. Pursuit was impossible, ow ing to the width and depth of the stream. Filipino Envoy Will Not Be Received. New York, Oct. 30.—A special to the World from Washington says: Secretary of State Hay, when asked if Senor Regidor, the Filipino envoy, would be permitted to appear before the Philippine commission, said: “I have heard that he contemplated visiting the United States and would present some such plan as that outlined by the newspapers. He would have no official oi diplomatic status in Wash ington, either as agent of the Filipino insurgents or as a diplomatic represent ative of the so-called Filipino govern ment. The question of his being heard by the Philippine peace commission rests entirely with the commission it self. The state department is not con cerned in the matter in any way.” LULL Boers IN THE FIGHTING. Evidently Reconstructing Their Plans—English Are Resting. London, Oct. 30.—The war situation this morning presents no new features. It is presumed in Natal that the Boers are reconstructing their plans and that the English are resting, but telegrams from Ladysmith, at express rates, still occupy 43 hours in transmission to London, and, therefore, it is not im possible that something is happening. The Daily Telegraph has the follow ing from Ladysmith, dated Wednesday: “Our cavalry patrols have been fired on this afternoon and chased by the en- imy near the scene of the Reitfontein engagement. The Boers show signs of becoming aggressive. We learned of the capture of the hussars in resismse to a military wire sent to Command ant-General Jonbert.” According to the latest account of the first battle at Glencoe, the Boer army amounted to 7,000 inen, and about noon another army, almost as large, under Commanant-General Jou- bert, advanced within (1,000 yards of Glencoe camp and then retired. The Boer losses were veiy heavy, fully 300. On the Northern Border. Cape Town, Oct. 30.—A telegram from Buluwavo, Rhodesia, says: A Boer force is threatening Chief Khama and Chief Linchwei, who are loyal to Great Britain. The two chiefs’ coun try lies at the extreme northwest of the Transvaal and includes Bechuanaland. It seems a gross mistake for the Boer« to provoke war among the natives. The probable explanation is that th« Boer force intends to destroy the rail way to Buluwavo, which runs through Khanias' country .and thereby prevent ■ movement by Colonel Plumer’s force to go to the relief of Mafeking. Al ready there have been stories of a Rho- Jesian armored train engaging the Boers some distance north of Mafeking, Inspection at Vancouver. Vancouver, Wash., Oct. 30.—Tele graphic orders from the ad jutant-gen eral’s office in Washington were re ceived today, directing the military authorities of this department to re- ceive no more recruits for volunteer service. The Thirty-ninth regiment, United States volunteer infantry, and two companies of the Forty-fifth, recruited here, were given general inspection to day by Captain Henry I*. McCain, as sistant adjutant-general, department of the Columbia, who was appointed in specting officer for this special purpose.
