CUBAN GOVERNMENT UNEARTHS PLOT ID START A REVOLUTION
Several High Officials and Army Officers Are Impli- cated, Meagre Reports
 From Havana State

Havana, February 10.-Havana was stirred today by reports of revolution ary movement. During the night the secretary of the interior, Aurelio Hevia, notified the civil and military authorities that a plot to overthrow the government had been discovered, involving civil and military officials, and rumors that high army officers had been placed under ar rest spread over the city, causing both excitement and alarm. There had been mutterings of an uprising ever since the presidential elections in November last, the result of which has not yet been de- termined.
 II was reported, but authoritatively de- nied by Secretary Hevia, that Brigadier General Pablo Mendieta, brother of Car los Mendieta, liberal vice presidential candidate, and General Espinoza, had been detained. These stories were later disproved by the appearance of these two officers at the palace
 Three subordinate officers. Lieutenants Arsenic Lopez Barcelo, Ramon Castei- lanas and Gustavo Gonzales Bobille, are under arrest charged with complicity in the plot, the exact nature of which is not yet known. The names of Baldomero Acosta, mayor of Marianao; Chief of Police Parron of Marianao, and General Ioinaz del Castello who represented Cuba at the San Francisco exposition, also have been mentioned.

"Madder Red" Trousers Are Worn Only by French
 Soldiers Now Interned

Geneva, Switzerland, January S0.-(Cor- lrespondence of the Associated Press. )-It l Is now only In Switzerland where the French infantry and cavalry uniforms are still to be seen. The horizon-blue trous- CT of the new uniform that dates from what may be called the second phase of the war-after the Marne and the Yser- are also seen, but the red trousers have a big majority among the 15,000 French soldiers now interned in Switzerland through the reciprocity agreement with Germany. Most of them were taken pris- oner at Charleroi and Morhange before the advent of the horizon blue.
 Consumption, aggravated by the fatigues of campaign and privations of prison life, sent most of them here, while about 600 are completing their education in Swiss universities while the war goes on. There are also 250 Belgian and 15 En- glish soldiers following the college courses under the arrangement with Ger many There are 230 of these prisoner students at Geneva. $50 at Lausanne 50 at Neuchatel, 120 at Fribourg and 10 at Berne.
 There are also about 10000 invalid Ger man prisoners of war in Switzerland, some of whom are following the courses of different schools at Berne and Zurich.
 The influence of this mental occupation upon the state of mind of the priosners has been so beneficial as to suggest the provision of occupations for all the rest of the 15OOO interned Frenchmen that are capable of physical effort. One sugges- ton Is to utilize them in work on the projected Rhine to Rhone canal, the fa- vorite enterprise of M. Ador, president of the Swiss Red Cross, who has done so much for the prisoners of war.

COME BACK" IS STAGED BY
 VETERAN COURT REPORTER
First Court Reporter in State Leaves Ferns Flowers for First Love and Is Making Interesting Story of
 Man Who Officially Reported Some of the Most Noted Gases in Alabama
By CHARLES H. MANDY

A genuine ''come back has been staged in Jefferson county.
 And it is a "come back" in which neither political pull, family influence or the hysteria of an issue cut any ice It is one incident when merit prevailed over every other consideration, a recog- milton of ability, not boasted or promised as pro-campaign thunder, but proven by long years of efficient service. William NJ Lindsay is the man that ''came back, and the late and mucnly abused legislature made it possible, and Judge Fort and Judge Heflin paved the way.
 Now for the facts.
 The last legislature provided for the appointment of an official court reporter by the judges presiding in the criminal division of the new consolidated courts, and MT. William M. Lindsay has received this appointment at the hands of Judges Fort and Heflin, and enters upon the duties of the office at once. The fact Of such an appointment would have, re- ceived only general mention. but in this case MT. Lindsay comes back" official iy. The older members of the bar of Alabama will recalled that MT. Lindsay was the first court reporter in Ala bama.
 The first legislation in this state rela- tive to the employment of official ste- nographers was enacted by the general assembly at the session of 1S79-S0 and provided for an examination as to qualifi- cations. It was intended that this bill should have applied to all the courts of the state, but it seemed the conditions would not justify it at that time. Mobile county was the only county in the state that was authorized to employ a court reporter, and MT. Lindsay was appointed to this position by the late Judge Harry T. Toulmin, judge United States district court, who was then judge circuit court of Mobile county. So MT. Lindsay was the first court reporter in Alabama He was appointed in 1880, continued in that position until he resigned in 1883 to en- gage in business in Anniston, being in- duced to take this step by Duncan T. Parker, who became president of the First National bank of Anniston; T. G. Bush, Gaylord B. Clark, Daniel P Bes- tor and G. Y. Overall, all now gone over the river, and all of Mobile. In going to Anniston Mir. Lindsay bought certain DOT tions of the business conducted by the Woodstock Iron company at their com- missary, and opened the first store out side of the commissary ever opened in that hustling city.
 The hard times that followed this ven- ture was the cause of his removal to Birmingham, which he did In 1885. The
