Cuban Tronble Grows Serious

Havana. Aug. 2l-The Cuban gov ernmeut believes that the revolution ists in the field now number about l2OO but that the number is likely to in- crease rapidly. The administration may ask the United States to inter- vene under the provisions of the Platt amendment to the independence trea- ty. which reserves the right whenever necessary Go maintain order and stable government in the island republic. It is thought probable that the United States may intervene without a re- quest from the Cuban government.
 President Palma today appointed Gen. MontaIyo to command military operations against the insurgents, and the rural guard was increased to 4OOO men in the field,
 The first battle was fought yesterday when Lieut.. Roigue of the rural guards with a small force encountered loo in- surgents near Guanajuay, At the first voIIey Roigue fell and two insurgents were killed. The insurgents retired,

 UNDER CONTRACT
Statement Officially Made That WeIch & Co. Will Build

The announcement was officially made this morning that the railroad construction as far as the Matanuska coal fields is under contract to the firm of Welch X Co. Martin Welch is in full control of everything pertain inc to construction. His firm is of course a sub contractor from the Panama Railway Construction Com pany.
 Until the details of this arrange ment were completed, MT. Welch was temporarily acting as superintendent of construction, as announced by the Gateway few days ago, but with the agreement that his firm was to have the contract.
 The announcement was also made that construction is to continue un- interruptedly, with greatly increased force next spring.

Cuban Scheme for Revolution

Havana. Aug. 2O-The government learned today of a revolutionary plot to overthrow the government which included the assassination of President Palma.

Manuel Piedra, leader of the liberal party in the house of representatives, Gen. Castillo, formerly member of congress.
 Great excitement prevails in the city and troops were ordered out to be ready for any emergency in case of an attempted uprising.

FIXES STATUS
 OF OFFICERS
President Frost of Alaska Central Sends Message Defining
 Authority.

F. H. Stewart, treasurer of the Panama Railway Construction Company and assistant treasurer of the Alaska Central Railway Company, succeeds w. B. Poland in all business matters con- nected with railway affairs in Alaska. He is the ranking officer. As such, he is in control of traffic, the issuance of transportation, and everything per- taining to the business management.
 J. B. Cameron, formerly engineer of construction, succeeds Mr. Poland in the engineering department, but re- tains the title of engineer of construc- tion. He has full charge of the oper- ation of trains, the disposition of the engineering forces, and the determin- ing of all engineering problems.
 O. G. Laberee is in Seward merely to make observations in his capacity as one ofthe trustees of the Alaska Central Railway Company, and will report his observations at the next meeting of the board. He has no duties and exercises no authority. None of the officers re- port to him.
 The foregoing information is con- veyed to the Gateway direct from Mir. Frost in a cablegram received this morning. It was reply to request cabled him by the Gateway for an authoritative statement concerning the status of the several officials since the departure of the former general manager, w. B. Poland. In Mir. Po- lands official announcement which he furnished the Gateway, he made no mention of Mr. Stewart or his duties. It was to clear up all doubt, and set at rest a flock of wireless rumors, that the Gateway sought it's information straight from Mr. Frost.
 NJ. B. Holland will not continue as chief of the commissary. Superin- tendent Welch has directed him to in- ventory all the stores and turn the commissary over to J. J. Clifford. This work is now under way. Mr.. Clifford has been for several years with the firm of p. Welch X Co. as chief of commissary.
