General AcevedO
Heads Uprising
Against Gomez
Veteran Revolutionist Takes Field
With Companions. But His Arrest is
Expected Within Few Hours.

HAVANA. Aug An uprising against
the government apparently of a serious
character appeared last night at Regla, a
suburb Of Havana. situated across the har-
bor. when General Gunlern Acevedo. a
revoluticnary veteran. with eight or ten
companions. armed and mounted. took the
field. Il Is reported that the party was re-
inforced by 30 men.
Before leaving Regla. Acevedo issued a
manifesto denouncing the administration OF
President Gomez as scandalous and corrupt
and adiuring all patriotic Cubans to rise
and overthrow H. He declared he would
give Gomez fifteen days in which to re-
sign. after which. il the warning was not
obeyed. he intended TO apply the torch and
destroy property indiscriminately until the
whole island was reduced TO ashes.
Setting forth from Regia the insurgents
skirted Havana. seemingly bound for Pinar
del Rio. They halted at the suburb Of
Luyano. where they seized citizen named
Naranjo. demanding that he act as their
guide. Upon has refusal Naranjo was shot
dead. The party then rode on.
Early today strong detachments OF ru-
rales and regulars were dispatched in pur-
suit Of the rebels The country in which they
are operating is thickly settled and it is
probable that the rurales will have no diff
ficulty in following the trail There are
rumors that a fight has already taken
place.
Acsvedo headed an uprising in Pinar
del Rio province a year ago. He was cap
tured tried and sentenced to life imprison-
ment. Last October he was pardoned. His
followers are believed TO include some OF
