CUBANS IN REVOLT
A Serious Uprising Against the
Government of Gomez.
Rebel Leader Threatens to Lay
the Island in Ashes.

Havana Aug. IAN uprising against
the government q apparently of d serious
character occurred last night at Regla,
a suburb of Havana, situated across the
harbor, when General Gu1lern-o Ace
Vedo, q revolutionary with or 10 COM
panions armed and mounted took the
field. 1t is reported the party was re-
inforced later by 200 men.
Before leaving Rcgla, Acevedo issued
a manifesto denouncing the admins
tration of President Gomez as. scan
daloEs and corrupt and adjuring all
patriotic Cubans to rise and over
throw it. He declared that he would
give Gomez Is days in which to resign.
after which f the warning was not
obeyed, he intended to apply the torch
and destroy property indiscrinlinately
until the whole island was reduced to
ashes.
Setting forth from Regla, the insur-
gents skirted Havana, seemingly
bound for Pinar Del Rio. They halted
at the suburb of Luyano, where they
seized a citizen named Naranjo de-
manding that he act as their guide
Upon his refusal Naranlo was shot
dead. The party then rode on. Early
today detachments of rurales and
regulars were dispatched in pursuit of
the rebels. The country in which they
are operating is thickly settled and it
is probable the rurales will have no
difficulty in following the trail. There
taken place.
Acevedo headed an uprising in Pinar
Del Rio province a year ago. He was
captured tried and sentenced to life
imprisonment. Last October he was
pardOned. His followers are believed
to include some of the desperadoes
who attacked the rurales in their bar
racks at Cuanabacoa in 1906. mass
acring the garrison, which was tbs
first overt act of the revolution which
overthrew President Palma.
Brig General Geraldo Machado,
secretary of the interior. in an off
cial statement to the Associated Press,
said that Acevedo was accompanied
by only four men and was believed
to be surrounded now by rurales
twenty miles west of the capital.
News of his capture was momentar-
lily expected.
Washington Is Surprised.
Washington. Aug News of the
uprising in Cuba gave officials of the
administration a twinge of concern
and surprise. Only few days ago
Secretary Knox sent a message of as
surance to the Cubans that the United
States did not contemplate interven-
ton. The fears of Cuba had been
excited by reports of interference con-
nected with the proposed visit Of
Secretary Stimson to the island. Mr..
Stimson will arrive at Santiago, Cuba,
on Thursday or Friday and will then
go to Havana

nailed for quiet that the man, if alive,
might be heard

shouted down the narrow shaft.
Several seconds elapsed when there

few minutes Clary cried out up the
tube:
