Bay by Plucky Woman
With a Revolver.

Wellsyille, O., Aug. at an early
hour Saturday morning 100 strikers
surrounded the boarding house of
Harry Phillips, just back of
the mill where six non-union
men are living Two shots are
said to have come from the
revolver of Harvey Yeager. a brother
of Mrs. Phillips, and fired at the non
unionists as they came into the
yard. The strikers then swarmed in
to the yard and were met by Phillips
with a cooked revolver. The strikers
demanded to see the non-unionists,
but Phillips held them back with a
gun. The strikers then withdrew, but
surrounded the house. and when the
mill whistle blew the six men were
unable TO go to work. The excite
ment was intense.
Later Mrs. Phillips, who is plucky
woman. took three men who were
boarding with her and hel husband to
the mill, walking beside them with a
loaded revolver in her hand daring
the strikers TO interfere. She got the
men inside of the mill and then re-
turned and put the mob as she called
them, to route. She says she knows
many of them and will have them
arrested

TRANSFER OF THE ISLAND.
Cuba to Be Turned Over to Cubans on
Anniversary of the Maine
Disaster.

Washington, Aug Cuba will in all
probability be turned over to the
natives of the island on the third an
adversary of the destruction of the bat
tleship Maine. Feb Is next, at which
time the Cuhans will probably celebrate
the inauguration Of an independent
government. Governor Wood has an
nounced that It viii require eight
months TO get matters into shape to
turn the government over to the Gu
bans This would fix the time March
J but inasmuch as the time he named
is only approximate. it is believed the
work that remains to be done can be
completed by the anniversary of the
blowing up OF the Maine, which was the
event that made peaceable solution OF
the Cuban situation impossible.
General Woods announcement that 1t
would require nearly another year be
Tore matters would be in shape TO per
init the formal turning over of the gov
eminent caused some surprise here
That period mentioned was regarded as
rather long, but when it is considered
mat great deal remains to be done
the time Is reasonable. II is so regard
ed by the Cubans themselves, as since
General Wood S announcement not even
the hot-heads of the islands have made
any cutlery against the United States

NO QUARTER TO BE GIVEN.
No Money Will Be Spared to Crush
the Organization of the
Steel Workers.

Pittsburg, Aug. 5.--"It will he fight
to finish and no quarter will be
given. We are prepared to spend all
the money and time necessary to wipe
out the Amalgamated association in
all our mills.
This was the message that went
over the wires from New York to the
local officials of the United States
Steel corporation Saturday afternoon.
Some of the officials heard the mes
sage with misgiving; others with I'M
concealed satisfaction. One of the
officials left the Office, declaring he
was glad of it. saying the fight will
surely be carried to the finish, and
that the corporation once and for all
will be freed from the influence of
union men.
1t has been learned that no time
will be lost by the Anal gamated as
ISOLATION in completing its plans for
a continuation of the struggle, and
meeting of the executive board will
be held at the headquarters tomorrow
for this purpose. 1t is considered
probable by all interested that the
strike order will become general,
calling out the union men in the
NdtlDIdi Slet1 company, FtutI al
Steel company, and the National Tube
company. All workers seen tonight
are confident the order will be issued
at once, and expect the response to be
general and hearty.
The number of men now on strike
and those likely to be involved are:
National Tube company 90, 900
American Tin Plate company %, 900
American Steel company. 80. 10000
National Steel company. .... $4,000
Federal Steel company ..... 5000
American Steel Hoop company. $4,000

employees of the United States Steel
corporation but what may feel the
strike. 1t may be the American Fed
Grafton of Labor will call out its thou

miners may refuse to dig coal for the

may be drawn into the contest, al
though that is not probable. Unless
it be speedily broken the results of
the strike will be felt over the whole

a Case of Murder.

tive James Penick, brother of the Iowa
banker who was drowned from the Viz

the body. He scouts the idea of suicide,
ana believes it was an accident or a
murder. Many here incline to believe
that perhaps the man was tackled by
pickpocket; that the thief was dis
covered and that in the struggle Penick
went overheard. The fact that Penick S
rocketbook was found in the water
helps to support this theory. Congress-
man Penick has increased the reward
for the recovery of the remains to $500
The drowned banker had an insurance
Of $4,000 on his life. and the congress-
