WAS 1T MEANT FOR GEN. LEE.
Another Bomb Found at the American
Consulate In Havana.

Consulate In Havana.
A special TO the New York Herald from
Havana. Cuba, yesterday says: An internal
machine, containing a genuine dynamite
bomb, was discovered this morning in the
building in which the United States con-
sulate is located. The bomb was placed
downstairs in small archway between
two pillars, midway between the Herald
office and the Office of DR.. Drummer. the
United States sanitary inspector.
General Lee comes to his Office early on
Wednesday to prepare his mail, and would
have passed the bomb on his way upstairs.
DR.. Drummer, the correspondents and other
Americans in the building also come early
on mail morning. 1t was probably expected
that General Lee or other persons would
be tempted, through curiosity, to handle
the machine. which was prepared to ex-
plode on an attempt to open the box
The porter first discovered the machine,
but was afraid to touch it. A crowd gath
cred and there was considerable excite
ment- The police were sent for, but in the
meantime Dr. Drummer arrived, picked up
the machine, carried it to a safe distance
and boldly proceeded to examine it.
1t was small wooden box, with draw
l1u me bomb was 50 arranged inside that
when the lid was drawn it would ignite spe-
cially prepared matches attached to a quick
fuse. Only extreme caution on the part of
ignition.
The bomb was a short tube cleverly
made and filled, and clearly shows that the
persons implicated in this and the two
other bombs recently placed in the city are
gaining skill and experience, and growing
more desperate at each failure.
This makes the second bomb placed in
the consulate building. but the first was a
clumsy. harmless affair. Occupants of the
building are much alarmed and some have
given motive of removal
The police are making strict investi-
cation. but are unable as yet to obtain the
slightest clew. An expert has examined
the bomb. and states that it would have
dcne great damage if it had exploded. He
also expressed great surprise that it did
not ignite in DR.. Brunner's hands.

of Physicians to the Profession, and Their
Relation to the Medical Charities of the
District of Columbia" The subject of

abuse has already been discussed by The
profession at large, and of late consider
able attention has been paid to it. So
when 1t became known that DR.. Busey
would address the society upon the sub
ject, considerable interest was manifested,
and a large number of members were pres

The speaker, after referring to the duty
of every physician to benefit and succor
mankind and prolong life. scored the dead
beats who call in the physician with no
idea of paying him, and said they made
the physicians life hard and almost I'M
bearable. Reference made to the
amendments recently adopted by the asso-
citation concerning the treatment of pa
tients in hospitals, and attention was called
to the fact that since they were adopted
the number of charity patients in the East
