CUBA CELEBRATES.
Governor General Wood Recipient
 of Many Gifts.


 of Many Gifts.
 HAVANA, May 19-The festivities in celebration of the change of govern ment became general all oyer the island yesterday. Tn almost every town and village an elaborate programme of pop ular rejoicing has been arranged. Sun day here as in all Spanish countries, Is not given over to religious observances, but is distinctly q holiday, devoted to recreation and amusement. In Havana appropriate services were held in the churches in the morning, and high mass was celebrated by the archbish- op in the cathedral, where the bones of Christopher Columbus were formerly buried, but after midday the whole city gave itself over to amusement
 Governor General Wood and the oth- CT American officers had busy day cleaning up odds and ends In addition to the many other social demands upon him, Governor General Wood took breakfast at the Fronton, where the di- rectors of the Jaialai association pre- sented him with, magnificent silver service and Mrs. Wood with diamond ornament At o'clock ill the evening the merchants of Havana marched to the palace i'll body to bid the govern or general farewell, and for an hour he was kept busy returning thanks, so fattering were the compliments be- slowed upon his administration and so earnest the expressions of regret at his departure.
 Both General and Mrs. Wood as we'll as the American officers generally have been the recipients of many evidences of the nigh esteem in which they are held The cabinet presented General Wood with gold watch suitably in- scribed, and the ladies of Havana gave Mrs. Wood silver service, but these are only few of the gifts bestowed upon them. A dinner was also given by the commercial bodies of the city in honor of the governor general.

NINE HOUR MOVEMENT.
Minor Privileges Withdrawn and Men
 May Prefer Old System.


 The feeling among the machinists for short work day has by no means abated, this fact being demonstrated by increased numbers at the usual Sunday morning meeting yesterday. The concessions granted by the various brass factories was discussed at some length, and while it is admitted to be q move in the right direction, many were of the opinion that the alteration will not be as much appreciated as would naturally be supposed at q first glance. 1t is claimed by the men that so many little clauses and items have been tackled on, and so many minor privileges previously enjoyed have been stopped, that in some cases the men fear they would prefer the old system. The experiment however, Is looked forward to by the men with consider able interest and at the expiration of the four months it will be interesting to know the results from both sides. The machinists are still endeavoring to push their interests in passive way while awaiting the return of MT Full tnRI It was decided at yesterdays meeting to meet again next Sunday and from all accounts the next meeting promises to be one of the best yet held. All machinists are especially requested to turn up for this meeting. It was re- ported that MT Fulton would arrive earlier than was at first anticipated, so probably this may account for the increased activity.

 There will be at least one new sidewalk over this way. The old walk in front of the addition to the Farrel Foundry and Machine con cern is being torn up and new walk will be laid. That is a good example which a number of persons in this section could follow.

NEW YORK, May 19-If Governor Benjamin B.

WHAT CHAFFEE SAW.
Conditions on Mindanao Quite Satfs-
 factory.

MANILA, May 19-General Chaffee has returned here from Lake Lanao, ill the interior of the island of Mindanao He said he saw several Moro dattos while there and had most satisfactory interviews with them. Nearly all the dattos and especially the surviving sul- tans, claim to entertain friendly feel ings toward the United States.
 In view of q cablegram which Gen. eral Chaffee received after his return from General Davis, who is in com mand of the American forces on Min danao, and in which it appears that Datto Ruty has apparently refused to return the animals he captured from the American army General Chaffee is not prepared to say that there will be no more fighting in Mindanao. General Davis reports that Datto Ruty says he is ready to fight, but General Chaffee believes that, although it may be nee essary to bring this datto to terms, his resistance of the American forces must necessarily be slight.
 Datto Ruty's forts are situated on a high hill. They could be surrounded by a line of American skirmishers who would prevent the datto from obtaining water and who could thus force a prac- tically bloodless victory in a few days. The farewell reception given yester- day to General Lloyd Wheaton at the American club here was attended by over 2,70O Americans
 The coronation of King Alfonso was celebrated with much ceremony by all the Spanish residents of Manila, and Acting Governor Wright represented the American government at the prin- cipal function.
 The United States Philippine com mission has passed an act conferring marine jurisdiction upon the courts of first instance which permits these courts to punish crime committed at sea. The military orders and acts of the provost courts referring to such crimes, previously enforced, are repeal ed by the act passed by the commis- sion.
 The cholera situation in Manila and the provinces remains unchanged. The increase in cases continues, and the percentage of fatalities is still about 80 per cent.

COAL TAKES A RISE.
Local Dealers Put an Extra Half Dol
 lar on the Ton.

Local Dealers Put an Extra Half Dor l lar on the Ton.
 l The price of coal in Waterbury has advanced 90 cents a ton since last Sat,
 urday. It is now $675 and the deal- CTS say consumers will be fortunate l if it does not go higher The dealers l had a talk about this matter Saturday
 night and concluded that they had bet
 ter make little jump now so that
 they may not have to leap all the dis tance later in case the strike continues
 and the article gets so scarce that 1 there will be a scramble for it in the fall. It is said to have gone up a dol
 lar ton in New York and fifty cents in Bridgeport and New Haven and as the Waterbury dealers are not phil
 anthropists it is nothing wonderful that they should keep up with the process sion. They represent tlat they are in the same box as the butchers. The price has gone up on them and they are obliged to add something to their figures in order to be in a position to l continue in the business without a loss. No doubt what they say is true. but
 this is poor consideration to people who cannot afford to get along without coal. Some people tell us that trusts ana combines are good things and that certain kinds of business cannot be conducted profitably these days in any
 other way. If this be so they deserve to be encouraged, but the working classes will have to see corresponding
 advance in the price of labor before they will know they are sharers in the benefits that are said to come from combinations which increase the cost of living. If everything people want in
 their homes keep going up and the
 price of labor remains at a standstill, with 9 backward tendency at that, l there is bound to be trouble before
 long and in such an event some people
 will suffer, and the parties who have
 notbing will not be the heaviest losers.

Such a result is not strange-on the contrary, it is to be expected. The quality and finish of our UnderETear is too well known and established to have it confused with the ordinary ready-made Underwear so doubtful in its making.
 Every piece of Underwear you pur- chase here is up to the standard, from the lowest to the highest priced goods. You get the same excellence of cut and the same dependable finish and that is why so many lay in a stock during our sales, which, remember, come only twice a year.
 Read these items carefully, but it would take this entire page to mention all the good things that are represent ed in this sale.

ENJOYED FIRST TRIP.
Many People Took Sunday Outing
 Over New Route

Over New Route.
 Yesterday the first trains on the new railroad route between this city and New Haven were run. There were two trains each way during the day and all were crowded. Over POO persons enjoyed the trip on the new line yesterday and all were well pleased with it. The time made was as good as was expected, being about 50 minutes.
 The first train left Waterbury at 7:50 and had 65 passengers. Though the train did not move very quickly on the roadway of the old Meriden route, still that part of the journey was made with smoothness. All along the road to West Cheshire peo- pie stood in the doors of the farm houses and watched with pleasure the first train on the new line pass by. At West Cheshire the train passed onto the loop connecting the Meriden division with the Northamp- ton division. At Cheshire, which was reached at S:15, the train came to a full stop. The speed of the train from Cheshire to New Haven was very high, about a mile a minute at times. The Elm City was reached at $40. The first trip was made without a mishap. l.. E. May was the conductor and H. F. Hopson was the engineer on the train.
