Her hoy Lover who Shot Her In . State OF
Mental Abstraction.


ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., June This afternoon
the physicians Of the City Hospital decided to
probe for tho bullets still remaining In the head
Of Mrs. Phoebe II. Phillips. who was shot yester-
day by her boy admirer, Robert HILBERT. DR..
Richard Phillips of Philadelphia, a brother Of
the victim. assisted Drs. Pennington and Sinner
in their task. Tho operation was successful ex-
cept AZ to the bullet In her neck. which came
near severing the carotid artery. This was per-
mitted to remain there, as An attempt to remove
II might prove fatal. The physicians are now
more hopeful, but still refuse to make any pre-
dictions.
Hilbert Is very Respondent and has refused
food all day. He awakes to an interest in sur
rounding things only when word is brought him
concerning his victim. He appears to be very
much In love with her and still blames her for
treating him coldly. His continued mental alb
straction makes many persons believe he Is In
sane.
Mrs. Phillips talks a great deal about the man
who shot her. 1t was only her great love for
him, she says, that caused her to refrain from
marrying one go much younger than herself.

Havana, December Z THE sensa-
sation in Havana over the news that
Guisa had been bombarded with dyna-
mite and utterly destroyed by G snsral
Garcia, is immense. The insurgents
obtained victory as great as that OF
Victorio de Las Ilunas. The SpAniards
had 900 killed and the column o. Col
Tovar was put to f'ght. General Gar
cia has issued a manifesto declaring
that the expulsion of Spaniards from
towns has already begun. BAyamo Is
Ia Imminent danger of an attack from
the insurgents And much apprehension
for Its sefety prevails.
7Blanco has cabled to MaDzanillo or

for Bsyamo, and announces that he
will send other re Inducements. The
Spanish officially admit the capture
and destruction Of Gnisa by the insur-
gents, but claim that the place was oc-
cupled later by the Spanish forces.
This is probably true, as Garcia, after
laying the place In waste, abandoned

NEW YORK, December 7.--In an

OF the Knights of Lsbor, calling their
sttention to the annual convention to
be held next month, the new general
master workman, Henry A. Hicks,
who was elected by the general as
semb y at Louisville to succeed Sov-
ereign, makes some ringing utterances
which are intended for the order at
large. He insists, thattnls snouid be
made the banner year for legislative
activity, inasuuch as the wageworkers
have still much 10 fight for. The
principles of the order, he says, have
not all yet been enacted In the statute
law. There are obnoxious laws to be
repealed such as the conspiracy law,
and others that do not bear equally
upon all classes Of citizens. Laws for
munic,pal ownership and operation Of
AA pubic franchises need attention,
while the present tax laws, discrimip-
ating in their tendencies, real property
has been burdened beyond what is
just, b canse personal property is al
lowfd to escape it's fair share of the
burden of taxation. All these matters,
says the head ofthe order, should de-
mand the earnest attention OF the
scores Of thousands whose names are
upon its rolls.

boycott s.ued by the national brewers
union against certain beer manufactured
by the Knights of Labor at Rochester.
n. r., has prepared it's report. which
will be at once published. II declares
the boycott illegal, unjust and uucalled
for, and insists that no man nor set OF
men calling themselves trade unioDists
should be allowed to blacken the char
acter OF the r ,chaster ssKnIghts, who
for flftern years have been sraight on

OF the national brewers union against
the Knights of Labor.
