COLONIAL TROUBLES INCREASE.
Outbreak Among Natives Of German
East Africa.

East Africa.
Berlin, Aug. 5.-The governor of
German East Africa has telegraphed
to the colonial bureau of the foreign
Office that the natives in the Maturbi
mountains north of Kilwa have risen;
also that there has been an outbreak
on the coast at Samanga during which
several warehouses were burned. The
causes of the discomfort appear to be
unexplained.
While rebellions are in progress in
other German African colonies East
Africa hitherto has been quiet. The
outbreak therefore causes some con-
cern. The government is thoroughly
tired OF these colonial wars, in which
considerable sums of money have
been sunk without bringing either
profit or glory.

 Proceeds Rapidly.

Tracli-ayiug on the Alaska Central has been proceeding steadily all week. The rail, mcnow laiduearly lo Shallow creek. about 35 miles out, and the work will continue until mile 70 i, reached. Some grading work i, necessary on the next five miles and several weeks will be required to finish it. That will he the limit of track laying this fall because heavy rock work lies between mile 45 and the
 tunnels.
 Rock work is the rule, in fact, for the next sixty miles bepond 45. At least loco men will lie steadily em- ployed on those sixty miles, including the tunnels on mile 5, and a larger number if they can be secured. It is expected to complete the grading of the sixty miles, including the tunnel boring, by early summer so that the track can be laid there with a rush. Beyond mile lO5 to Knik Arm the grading is mostly easy. The latter point is l35 miles from Seward. J. B. Cameron, engineer of construction, stated few days ago that track ought to be laid to Knik Arm within one year, and very likely it might be done sooner.
 The actual work of boring the ttin- nels will begin within a week or two. The machinery is expected on the Dirigo, which is nearly due in Seward. As soon as the machinery can be taken up and installed the work will c6n- mence with large force of men.

HEAVY BUSINESS
 ON CABLE LINE
Alaska Wires 0yerburdoned with Messages and Operators Work
 ing long Hours
By Cable to the Daily Gateway

Seattle, Sept. 20 The government cable ,o Alaska is doing an cXtraordi- mary business. During the past twenty four hours more than 5000 messages have been Hlcd for trdnsmisSion at all points, including tho land lines. The office forces at the relay stations have Btcn working night and day.
 Much of the increase k due to the dGvelopmtnt of the Panama country. Merchants there are ordering the largest stdeks ever ordered in any one season for any part of Alaska, to be rushed in for winter use. The new Kantishna district helps materially to swell the demand for supplies going 10 the Panama and incidentally the cable business.
 The extension ot the cable to Sew ard has added greatly to the business on the line up the coast beyond Sitka. The Seward office has done a heavy business from the start.
 At the present time the Alaska cable is worked to the limit. Congress will be asked at the forthcoming session to make am appropriation for the installa- ton of the duplex system. by which the cable can transmit twice the vol-
 mc of messages it now carries.

 This is the Bertha'S first trip to Seward since early in August She changed runs last month with the Portland in order to become the regular mail steamer of the Alaska Commercial Company which is scheduled to sail from Seattle the 10th of each month. She left Seattle a day late, September II, and came through in few hours over nine days, although she came by way of Sitka and stopped at every landing on the inside passage which has q post office. Since the Bertha was over- hauled early in the summer she has been the fastest boat on the inside passage to Seward and she has officers and a crew who know how to discharge freight rapidly. .c,
