Revolution In Spain Is
Scarcely Disguised
Events Of importance May
Happen In Open Defiance
of the Law

Paris, June 17.-Some light is
thrown on the present situation in
Spain, which has been the cause of
misgivings recently, by special cor
respondent of the Petit Parisien who
has been making an investigation
there. He wires the following sum-
mary of the situation which made
the position of the late cabinet un-
tenable and presents an acute prob
lem for the new ministry.
First of all, the situation in Gaia.
lonia is critical. The inhabitants are
aroused against the government and
are agitating insistently for COM
plete independence. One faction
openly declares in a Barcelona news
paper, that it will obey no law not
passed by Catalonians for Cataloni.

any price.

China Will Declare War

A Provisional Cabinet Like

Pekin, July 15.-General Chang
Hsun now is dictator, President Ii
Yuan Hung being little more than
a figurehead. The insurgents are
calling a convention at Tien Tsin to
form a provisional government head
I'd by the dictator, who is expected
to act as president and premier.
General Chang Hsun's motives are
obscure, but is is believed he is at
tempting to obtain from the former
leaders of the Manchu dynasty al
agreement for restoration of the EN-
pire. He has urged the president
to form a cabinet as soon as possible,
suggesting that provisional council
similar to that in Russia be estab-
lished and that declaring Of wal
against Germany be then made.

The work Of preparing for the

proceeds as fast as human hands can

the largest boat building plants in

progressive, there is nothing strange

Steamer Engages
In Thrilling Battle

1.-The submarine was first seen
at about 1000 yards. She had a
six-inch gun forward and another
aft. She flew no flag. Upon
sight of the submarine the steam
er hoisted the American flag and
waited about | 6 minutes.
AS the submarine approached
the steamer fired. The submarine
responded. The steamer kept a
speed that would permit the sub
marine to come within range.
Then followed a fight lasting for
an hour and half"
The name of the steamer Is with
held by the state department, but
it is known that the vessel refer
red to was not the Mongolia, re-
ported in press dispatches to have
had brush with a submarine
June !, while eastward bound.
The Mongolia, 1t was believed
here, was singled out for German
retribution because of her attack
on a previous voyage against a
submarine, so the name of this sec
ond ship is suppressed lest Ger
many try its frightfulness on this
ship.
The department report came
| from a consul.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June
Gin an hour and half
running fight between an
American armed merchant
men and a German submar-
inc, the merchantmen sank
the submarine, according to
official advices to the state
department today.
The submarine, flying no flag,
fired 35 shots and the steamer 20.
According to state department
reports, the last shot pierced the
U-boat, which reared out of the
water, stern up, standing upright
for a few seconds, then disap-
pearing from sight.
The steamer captain and the
commander of the American
armed guard believe there is nc
question the U-boat was bagged.

1.-The department of state is ad.
vised by telegraph of an engage
ment between an armed American
steamer and submarine. The
guns of the steamer were manned

Coal from the Matanuska and
Nenana government fields soon to
be ready for delivery to Seward
and Anchorage over the u. S.
railroad, will provide a steady and
dependable southbound cargo.
1t has been the excuse of the
steamship companies now plying
to Alaska ports that they had to
come southwark with virtually
empty holds.
Freight rates have been based
entirely on the north haul.
That meant that the shipper or
the merchant had to pay the COM
panies not alone for bringing
stuff to Alaska, but to send their
ships back to Tacoma, Seattle,
Portland or San Francisco.
A Difference Now.
AS a matter of fact the Alaska
steamers have been carrying con-
siderable cargoes southward-ore
and fish. But 1t was mot depend
able" hence not to be reckoned in
making freight tariffs-clear vel
vet"
Coal as a cargo will radically
alter this situation, believe those
who have been watching develop
ments.
Real Competition.
The Grand Trunk, for instance,
has promised Seward merchants
that 1t will place its ships on the
run between Cook Inlet points
and its Canadian rail terminus,
Prince Rupert, as soon as coal be-
gins to move.
This promises real competition.
Seward is only two days direct
steaming from Prince Rupert and
four days more by rail to New
York--a much shorter route to
the Atlantic than any American
line.
Canadian capital and Canadian
transportation will yet prove the
salvation of southern Alaska by
emancipating 1t from the Guggen-
helm and Morgan grip.
Freight rates on perishables to
Seward from the Sound are today
$3.50 a ton or higher. On gen.
eral erchandise the rate is SIP,
though both steamship companies
carry Guggenheim ore to Tacoma
from Prince William Sound ports
for IS a ton.

TO
LOCAL
FIRMS

The big contract for con-
structiOn of the army caDtOn-
ments at American lake will
almost certainly go to a Ia
coma contractor, and nearly
all other Tacoma contractors
will have some part i'm fill
ing il.
This was the definite statement
Wednesday of those in close
touch with the army post situa-
ton, based on information re-
ceived from Washington, d. C.
That the contract will be let
directly by the war department in
Washington, ID. c., and not by the
quartermaster depot in Seattle,
was also definitely determined
Wednesday in telegram received
by Capt. Stone, of the quartermas-
ter department, in charge at
American lake.
Interests Pooled.
It is expected the contract will
be announced either Thursday or
Friday. -
The contract will be let to a
single firm, which will sublet the
construction work among other
Tacoma contractors, according to
information received in Tacoma.
The fact that It will go to one
firm does not mean that there is
competition among Tacoma
builders for the job.
On the contrary, they all have
Joined in cooperative unit,
pooling their interests, and have
pledged their support to the firm
which is named to handle the
work.
1t has been this getting to-
gether on the part of Tacoma
builders, II is understood, that
has convinced the authorities that
this city is capable of handling
the enormous task.
Pierce county's gift to the gov
eminent of the site for the army
post has been one of the strongest
arguments for letting the con-
tract to a local firm.
The choice lies between one of
three firms, it was reported today
either Cornell Bros, the Hur-
ley-Mason Co. or the Tacoma
Dredging Co.
C. B. Hurley of the Hurley
Mason Co. was definite in his
statement that his firm would
be the one chosen. He said he
expected to hear from Washing
ton either Thursday or Friday.
Lumbermen Together.
at is a great big job and 1t
will take the best efforts of every
contractor in the city to fill it. he
said. While we do not intend to
break up our organization here,
every firm will get all 1t wants
to do"
The lumbermen of the north
west have gotten together also
and have pledged themselves each
to do his share in supplying the
lumber at the price quoted to the
government-$18 a thousand
feet. It is estimated about 25,-
100000 feet will be needed.
Capt. Stone, who has been on
the army post site directing pre-
liminary work, probably will
have general supervision of con-
struction.
