We make no bones about this fact, but you could not ell In five cases out ot every six had we not voluntarily Mated the faat. Yet why should we conceal it? Deception has at no time formed a part of our stock In trade, and we're .too old In our ways now to think of changing a system which proved so successful during the past "twenty years. It was necessary to give some reason for the STARTLING VALUES represented In these Shirt Waists, and here are the facts of the case in a nutshell: offered us Q9 SHIRT WAISTS at a price for spot cash. After a HUIe dickering we bettered his fig ures In our favor by a good big dis count, and on Saturday last took delivery of the goods. ' Now that we've looked them over, sorted them out, we wish that there had been 600 dozen, but no more are procurable on the same terms, and all things considered, we consider ourselves fortunate In be ing able to make the deal we did. THE ONLY FAULT the most badly damaged of these 300 dozen bargain Shirt Waists con Blsts In an occasional oil stain, a badly finished seam, or some such trifle. Cloth, patterns, cut and make are as good as any we carry In stock, and we warrant every gar ment to be of this season's manu facture. Now for the CONDITIONS OF SALE which opens on TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 11, AT 9 A. M. We've sorted them out Into three Jota. LOT 1 Represents Waists that show the damage, or of only me dium quality. LOT 2 Are all high class Waists and the shortcoming which led to their being classed as seconds is hard to And. LOT 3 Could be placed on any counter as perfect goods, and only Waists of the choicest quality are to be found therein. $1 to $1.35 is a fair average for these waists taken overhead. Here are the SALE PRICES. 85c Early buyers have decidedly the ' advantage, as at the outset of the sale the selection is the biggest and ' best ever offered In the city, and . there Isn't a size or a pattern wanting. - . WAP.SE33S2. WAR SHIPS FOR FLORIDA The Coast Will Be Guarded by the Rnlclgli. WATCH TOW FILBUSTEKEKS The Opinion Is Gonoral That Such a Step Is l'nncecmnry-1'llbusteriiig Now Fully Deflncd-The Situation at Uavana. Washington, June 10. Secretory Her bert said today that It hud not yet been determined whether a war vessel should be sent to the Florida coast to prevent n filibustering expedition going to as sist the Cuban rebels. Naval officials generally ore of oplnlpn that there Is no necessity for any Buch action by the United States. , . The position of the state department heretofore has been that It is the duty of the United States to prevent an armed expedition going to make war upon a nation or the possessions of n nation with which we are at peace, but there Is nothing to prevent the sale of aims or the munitions of war. It has been held heretofore that a torpedo boat taken apart and shipped in sec tions could not be prevented by this government, but if the torpedo boat should be fitted and sailed from a port of the United States, this country would be responsible. It also has been held that this government could not be required to prevent men from tak ing phspage on a ship bound for Cuba, unless they were a drilled and armed force. It Is apparent that a nice distinction may be made between what is and what Is not filibustering expeditions, if attempts should be made by Americans to assist the Cuban rebels. Havana, June 10. Captain General Martinez de Campos Is to leave this city today for the Province of Puerto Prin cipe. Colonel Canellas, In command of a de tachment of troops, has had an engage ment with a band of Insurgents at Se barruco de Cuba The Insurgents were commanded by Jose Maceo. On the side of the troops Lieutenant Nieto and two soldiers were wounded. The Insur gents lost two killed and had seven wounded. The troops also captured some arms and ammunition. The insurgents have fired upon a coast guard vessel which was watching the coast between Punta Gorda and Sabanilla de Matanzas. One volunteer was killed and one was wounded. Washington, June 10. Late this afternoon. Secretary Herbert settled all doubt as to the course to be taken by this government by issuing orders to the Raleigh to proceed at once to Key West, Fla. She will be retained there to watch the flllbusterers and see that no more expeditions leave this country for Cuba with contrabands of war for the insurgents. STUDENTS IMPROVING. Princeton Men Shot by John Collins Will Probuhly liecover. Trenton, N. J., June 10.

INCAPABLE AND INHUMAN. Serious Chargo Made by a Survivor of tin c.ollmn. San Francisco, June 10. Gustav Rowan, one of the survivors of the Collma, has sent a communication to the Call, in which he says: "I want to make a statement now if you will allow me to do so. You can find out what I say is true If you wilt see the other men picked up. Some of them will not dare "to tell the truth, as they have been promised money to keep still. "The Collma was lost because she was badly handled by officers without capacity and bad men when the gale struck us. When I saw that the ship was going to sink, I went aft to the life preservers and commenced to give them out to the passengers. The steward told me to let them alone and ordered me forward. "I was saved because I got a life pre server, and If the others had been al lowed to get them, too, many would have been saved with me. The pas sengers were kept penned up until the last moment and then " made to go down in the ocean like a pack of dogs. If some of the passengers had killed the steward, who kept them from get ting to safety, It would have been a mercy to the others. In spite of what he told me I kept on giving out life pre servers, and by this saved some' of the people from death." .Rowan, who was badly injured In the wreck, also says that he did not re ceive proper care on the San Juan, and charges the surgeon of that ship with gross negligence. OARSMEN IX TRAINING, Coach Woodruff and tho University of Pennsylvania Crew at Poughkoeptiio. Poughkeepsle, N. T., June 10. This was another fine day for the training of ithe college crews. The Pennsylva nia's and the Columbia crews, 'Varsity and freshmen, were all out and rowed up the river. The University of Penn sylvania's had a king row this morning. Coach Woodruff pulled bow In place of Peterson, who is still suf fering from the abscess on his right hand, and Peterson occupied a position on the crew's launch, May. The boys hugged the west shore and pulled to Hyde Park, a distance of six miles. An average of about thirty-one strokes was attained until West Park was reached, when the boys boarded the launch and the shell was towed back to the crew's quarters. The Quakers are on the anxious seat, and will be until Peterson's hand will permit him to resume his position In the bow. The crew has no substitute here, and will not have until the Pennsyl vania freshmen row the race at Ithaca on Friday next. They will then come to this city, but it will be too late to start training for the great race on June 21. Neither of the crews was on the river In the afternoon until about 6 o'clock. About an hour before that time the Quakers' launch came to the front of Main street and took on board a party of Vassar girls, who followed the men over the course as they were coached by George Woodruff. The Quakers are beginning to be quite a favorite crew of the Vassar girls, and many of the boys return their welcome visits. Mr. Peet, the Columbia coach, eald today that he considered the Pough keepsle course the finest in the world, and Mr. Woodruff talks In much the same way. If the Cornell men are as well satisfied, the race ought to be come a regular Poughkeepsle event. PRINCETON CLASS DAY. Days' Exercises at Alexander Hall Inter csting Programmes. Princeton, N.

Hopes Expressed That the Reports of a Massacre Are False. THE DISPATCH PROM CHENG TU It Indicates That the People Aro Alive, Though Their Property Has Been Destroyed -Tho Authorities En deavor to Protect Christ lane. ' Shanghai, June 10. No definite news has yet been received here In regard to the reported massacre of the French, English, and American missionaries at Cheng Tu, capital of the province of So Chueni Western China, The reports say that all were killed, neither women nor children having been spared. It is known that serious rioting has oc curred at Cheng Tu, as recently cabled to the Associated Press, but affairs there are believed to have been quieter recently, although th rioting has been spreading in the country southward. Washington, Jun 10. The Chinese legation has received no information as to the reported massacre of all mis sionaries in Cheng Tu, and strong hopes are entertained that the affair may be less serious than the reports indicate. Recently, however, by the treaty of peace with Japan, this Interior city was one of several places opened to foreign ers and foreign commerce. This has probably agitated the people who have lived by themselves from time Imme morial. The number of missionaries who have settled there is not known, but it is said that in the entire province of Se Chuen, of which Cheng Tu is the capital, U must be less than 100, in cluding all nationalities. The authorities at Pekin have done their utmost. They have placed upon Jhe viceroys of the provinces the re sponsibility of protecting the mission aries, churches, etc. The viceroys un derstand that they will be degraded if mobs are permitted 'to disturb the mis sions. As a result the viceroys and their prefects or police are active In re straining mob outbreaks. The official gazette of China, recently received here, shows that a change has been made In the viceroy at Cheng Tu, and that a new one has Just assumed his duties. This, added to the agitation of opening the city to foreigners, may ac llotred of Foreigners. Wu Chang, the place to which a Freuioh ship has been sent, Is another large interior town on the River Yangtse-Klang. The river affords in land navigation to large vessels up to Wu Chang, but It is unnavlgable farther up. It is probable, therefore, that the ship goes to Wu Chang, as it is the farthest western point reached by navi gation. ' This afternoon state department offi cials after investigating the reports said they thought an error had been made in the transmission of the name of the place where the massacre Is said to have occurred. It is believed that the name of the place should be Chang Te, the capital of Hunan, instead of Cheng Tu. In that place there are a number of foreign missionaries and the anti-foreign feeling is very strong. In 1S93 there were threatening demonstra tions toy the people, and the mission aries were kept for some time In a state of terrorism by the display of placards abusing the "foreign aevllB" and warning the natives against affilia tion with them. The condition of af fairs was regarded by United States Minister Denby as grave enough to warrant representations to the Chinese government, and the facts were made the subject of several reports from the minister to the state department. Chang Te Is accessible to small gun boats and a British warship visited the neighborhood several years ago. . Mr. Baldwin's Opinion. New York, Juno 10. The officials of the Methodist Missionary society, when seen at their offices today, were very hopeful that the reported mas sacre of the missionaries at Cheng Tu, China, was exaggerated. Dr. Stephen J. Baldwin, the recording secretary, said: "I do not thing that these rumors are subsequent to the assurances we re ceived cable from our mission In Cheng Tu, 'under date of June 3. The cable read: 'Property destroyed; nil safe; In form Toronto.' This would indicate that all our people are safe, although the property has been destroyed." The missionaries who are at Cheng Tu are the Rev. H. Olin Cady and wife, H. L. Cartwrlght, M. D., and wife, the Rev. J. F. Peat and wife, the Rev. J. O. Curnow and wife, the Rev. H. V. C. Hart, foremrly of the Central China mission, and several of his associates of the Canadian Methodist church. In the seventy-sixth annual report 'for last year the property of the mission, In cluding dwellings, chapels, schools, etc., Is valued at $4,000. STRIKE OF THE POTTERS.

The Outlook Is Gloomy-New England Is Overstocked. New York. June 10. Atvthrnnlto pnal men continue to deplore the condition of the trade. There has been no ef fective settlement between the compa nies yet, and the three days' alternate working agreement seems to have re sulted In little or no relief. Today PrsIUentt Thomas P. Fowler, of the New York, Ontario and Western railroad summed up the situation as follows: "It must be admitted that the anthra cite coal trade and traffic are In a de plorable state. Notwithstanding re striction on the basis of working all collieries half time, markets at tide water, in the east and throughout New England, are overstocked and prices and rates are completely and utterly demoralized. The production this year already exceeds that of last year by more than 2,000,000 tons, and coal la freely offered at less than $3 a ton at New York, Boston and other tidewater points. This situation means to the producer and anthracite coal carrying roads the actual loss of many millions of dollars. In short, conditions are even more discouraging and the future less promising than for the last four or five years." PRUSSIAN jnNjTlORROR. Four Hundred and Sixty Men Are Entombed. Berlin, June 10.

The bulletin of the American Iron and Steel asso ciation, the organ of the iron and steel manufacturers of this country, In Its issue of today says that an advance will soon be made in the price of steel rails. Notwithstanding the fact that In 1894 there was a great decline In the prices of all other kinds of iron and steel.

Bessemer pig Iron, Bteel billets, finished Tjars, etc., fell In price during the year from $1 to $3 per ton, but steel rails remained at the same figure, regardless of the decline In ather prices. In January of the present year the price of rails was reduced S2 per ton, or from $24 to $22, and the latter figure has ruled since the first of the year.

OUR DUTY TO SPAIN; Department Officials Consider tho Advis lbility of Guarding iho Florida Coast. Washington, June 10. Officials of the state and navy departments are consid ering the advisability of sending a war ship to guard the Florida coast to pre vent filibustering expeditions from leaving the United States for Cuba, but nn embarrassing question has arisen to prevent Immediate action. By or dering a vessel to guard that part of the coast line, 4t Is feared this govern ment mny place Itself In the position of being held responsible by Spain for neg lect In not having done so before; Such nction, It Is contended, would be a vir tual acknowledgement thnt the United States have failed to do their duty toward the Spanish government, with which they are In friendly relations. It is also feared that even if Spain should waive the right to claim dam ages for previous neglect by this country, embarrassment would likely arise If any filibustering expeditions succeeded In evading the patrol. As the matter stands the officials of the state and navy departments think It Is best to go slowly, trusting In the meantimq to Increased vigilance on the part of the revenue cutter service of the treasury department.
