played an important part in the pro-
ceedings of the closing days session

of Labor convention yesterday in the
assembly chamber of the state house,
the organization unanimously en-
dorsing the proposition of the ma
tional body anent the forming of a
political party, and adopting resolu-
tions denouncing the bishops bills,
and authorizing it's executive board
and affiliated central and local unions
to aid in defeating political candi-
dates who have shown opposition to
the cause of organized labor.
The executive committee reported
favorably in favor of the endorse
ment of the proposition of President
Samuel Gompers, regarding the start
ing of the new labor party The plan
for the establishment of the new po-
litical party, which is to be of a ma
tional scope, provides for the ap-
pointment' of a committee of one
from each county of this state to as
sist President Gompers, of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. This COM
mittee will present the matter in a
favorable light to the various unions
of the state for endorsement, and the
first effect of the campaign will un-
doubtedly be felt this fall

iected the proposition of afliliatinG

dates known to be opposed to labor
interests was unanimously adopted
The board is to act in conjunction
with central bodies and local unions

of treasurer, the latter winning out
after a sharp fight by narrow mar
gin. The officers are as follows:

CUBAN REVOLT
is SPREADING
IN PROVINCES.
Thousand Insurgents COnCen-
traiing in Pinar del Rio Gen.
eraI Gomez Takes the Field.

HAVANA, Aug 22.-The indications
western Cuba already has practically
reached its maximum. The govern
ment and people generally believe the
movement has received about all the
accessions it will be likely to gain. The
promptness of the government in ar.
resting suspected leaders and plotters
in Havana and elsewhere and in send
ing endorsements to the disturbed
districts has had an excellent effect in
strengthening public confidence and
overaweing sympathizers with the
movement.
On the other hand and notwithstand'
ing the quietude in the Pnar del Rio
region throughout, peaceable inhabit'
ants of the cities of Pinar del Rio,
Consolation del Sur, San Juan del Mar.
tinez and other western towns are in
hourly apprehension of the attack and
occupation of those places. The fact
that probably Il thousand insurgents
are tending to concentrate in the prov
lnce of Pinar del Rio upon towns in
adequately guarded by small detach-
ments of rural guards, mostly inexpe-
rienced in warfare, makes the sltua-
ton grave, but as the insurgents have
not assumed any strongly offensive at
titude or interfered with trains carry
ing troops, horses and supplies it is in
ferred that they are not prepared or
lack the nerve to try for control of the
territory.
The Cuban government was positive
-ly informed that General Jose Miguel
Gomez, who was candidate for the
presidency, has left Yaguajay, province
of Santa Clara, accompanied by a band
of insurgents.
There have been many rumors of
fights at various points in the province
of Pinar del Rio, but they have not
been confirmed by government or press
dispatches.
There was some fighting in Havana

A tenement house inspector, under
the direction of Captain Charles j.

Tenement House Commission of the
state, has been in this city for the
past three days inspecting the tene-
ment houses here. He says he has
gathered some interesting data for
his chief
The inspector, who is in uniform,
has only been looking over the city
in a general way and as soon as he
reports, a corps of inspectors will be
sent here to make a detailed inspec-
tion of every tenement house.
The tenement house law is very
strict and is being rigidly enforced.
The inspector told NEWS reporter
today that he found some bad condi-
tions here, several which need i'm
mediate attention and he has so re-
ported.
AS soon as an inspection is com
plete and a report is made, the land
lord is ordered to clean up or make
the necessary repairs. Within a
short time another inspection is
made. If no notice has been paid to
the order, the landlord is again noti-
fed. If he still refuses to comply
with the orders he is apt to have the
attorney general take charge of the
case, order all his tenants out and
close the house.
