I Hav.'ina, Aug. 1.—An uprising
' agaiuot the government, apparently of
; a serious character, occurred last
night, at Regia, a suburb of Havana.
. across the harbor, General Guillermo
I Acevedo, a revolutionary veteran, with
{eight or ten companies armed and
mounted, took the field. It is reported
the party was reinforced later by 200
men.
Before leaving Kegla, Acevedo issu
ed a manifesto denouncing the admin
istration of President Gomez as scan
dalous and corrupt and calling on all
' patriotic Cubans to rise and overthrosv
lit. He declared he would give Gomez
: fifteen days in which to resign, after
I which, if the warning was not obeyed,
he intended to apply the torch and de
stroy property indiscriminately until
the entire island was reduced to ashes.
Setting forth from Regia 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, Re
manding that he act os theii guide.
Upon his refusal Naranjo was shot
dead. The party then rode on.
Early today strong detachments of
troops were des})atched in pursuit of
the rebels. It is probable the rurales
will have difficulty in following the
trail. There are rumors that a fight
has already taken place.
.•\t:evedo headed an uprising in Pmar
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 desperados who
attacked the rurales in their barracks
at Guanabacoa in 1906, massacreing
the garrison, which was the first overt
action of the revolution which over
threw President Palma.

Mr. Olivej Protests Against
Tapping Brier Creek Below
Chath am s Da i ry
To the Citizens of Charlotte;
Yesterday’s News has a communica
tion regarding the water situation as
expressed by the mayor, and in which
he states as the reason why they did
not at an earlier date place a portable
boiler at Briar creek was because an
SO-horsepower portable boiler could
not be found and tnat nothing leas
than a boiler of b>0-horsepower would
do. No, of course not! Portable boil
ers are seldom larger than 25-hortyo-
power a'nd if our mayor ever expects
'o see a portable boiler of SO-horse-
power he will have to have it made to
order. Briar creek water can all be
pumped with two 15- to 20-horsepower
boilers, connected to two steam
pumps each having a 4-inch suction
and o-inch discharge, and if tv.-o such
boilers and pumps would not take all
the water, three surely would do so.
I have stated and still affirm that
boilers, portable, and pumps could,
and can be had for the asking right
here in Charlotte, and within 24
hours. 1 am cutting the time limit
in halves; the waters of Briar creek
could have been flowing into the Sev
enth street main at Pecan street.
The Atlantic Bitulitchic Company
alone has all the pumps anff portable
boilers right here in Charlotte nec
essary for Briar creek. Last night
Sunday night, Mr. McKean Matnt,
assistant superintendent of the water
works, phoned to me to know to
whom he would apply to borrow a
portable boiler from the Atlantic
Bitulithic Company, stating they
wanted to &eiyi one to Mount Holly.
He secured the boiler, loaded it on
a car. and had it at Mount Holly be
fore 6 o’clock Monday morning, and
soon after 12 o’clock Monday it was
doing duty driving the large steam
pump the Southern Cotton Oil Compa
ny, through Mr. Thompson, so kindly
loaned the city.
Does any one doubt for one moment
that this same boiler, on wheels,
could not have been taken to Briar
creek, and one of the steam pumps,

Washington, Aug. 1.—The house
was thrown into a turmoil today
when Representative C. C. Anderson,
of Ohio, denounced as false publica
tions in which Representative Sher
wood, of Ohio, and others were
quoted as charging Mr. Anderson
with having “sneaked” in his pension
bill because he could not offer it in
the regular way,
Mr. Anderson sarcastically declared
that he miglit have “sneakeu ’ in his
bin but at least he did not “sneak”
into the corridors and fail to vote
when the bill was called up.
“I am a good democrat, though 1
am proud of all democrats,” said Mr.
Anderson while his party associates
demanded the regular order.
Unable to produce the newspaper
article, Mr. Anderson was ruled
out of order as was Representative
Sherwood, of Ohio, who rose to de
fend his “dollar a day pension
bill.”
to be had from a dozen different di
rections, connected and ready to do
pumping in not over 12 hours?
Two or three boilers and pumps,
with a gang of machinists and la
borers for each set, could have been
connected up as soon as the first one
at Mount Holly.
Right here I wish to compliment
Mr. MafStt on the rapid work he did
in securing a boiler att-er 7
o’clock Sunday night arid hdMng ft
at Mount Holly Monday morning be
fore 6 o'clock and at work a few
hours thereafter.
I must again call to your attention
the fact that there is on the ground
at Briar creek ample 12*inch cast iron
pipe to go above the drainage of
Chatham’s dairy and secure pure wa
ter to carry to the pump, or pumps,
free of all contamination excepting
the Country Club’s sewerage, and this,
I understand, can and ’-»^ill be obviat
ed. And yet, according to our mayor s
s-tatement in The News they are
going to take the water from below
the said drainage, contaminated with
all the urine and drainage from the
vault into which all the drainage from
one hundred and fifteen cows, four-'
teen horses and mules and twenty
hogs I All this filth enters the crek
within 300 feet of the pumps, and
will be treated chemically, urine, ma
nure and chemicals all to be pumped
direct to the mains without any
means.to settle or filter!
I ask that you all rise up and call
a halt before the pipes are filled with
any such death-dealing fluid, and
which the mayor say& he will not be
responsible for, and warns all con
sumers to boil this mixture before
using.
The powers-that-be have surely
made some stupid blunders in trying
to relieve the water famine, but to do
what they now state they are going
to do is simply a crime of the most
uagrant kind.
Yours truly,
FRED OLIVER.

Woman Aviator
Licensed to Fly
By Associated Press.
Hempstead, L. I., Aug. 1.—Miss Har
riett Qumby, received an air pilot’s
license today from the Aero Club of
America. This is the first license that
has ever been awarded a woman avia
tor in America.
Miss Quimby, the aero officials and
a large number of aviation enthusiasts
arrived at Hempstead plains before
five o’clock this morning, but fog made
flying impossible until a few minutes
before 7 o’clock.
Thoroughly composed Miss Quimby
rose gracefully in the air, completing
five figure eights about 150 feet in
the air and then landed not only with
in the 104 foot mark designated by
the conditions, but also ma^Je a world’s
record for landing. Her mark was 7
feet 9 inches.
After a brief rest, Miss Quinby again
rose in' the air and again completed all
the remaining figure eights in air,
turning first to right and left with all
the skill of an experienced aviator and
landing on her dejjcent at the 124 foot
mark.
Miss Quimby then started for the
altitude, which calls for a height of 164
feet. She reached over 200 feet and
soared about in a large circle before
coming to the ground. Miss Quimby
is a native of California. Miss Matilda
Moissant, a sister of the late John Moi-
sant, and probably Miss Blanche Scott,
will shortly apply for their pilot’s li
cense.
CARTER TO BE APPOINTED
MINISTER TO ARGENTINA.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 1.—John Ridge-
ley Carter, United States minister to
Roumani&., Servia and Bulgaria, will
be appointed minister to Argentina,
succeeding Charles H. Sherrill. The
Argentina republic w'as askea sever
al days ago if Mr. Carter would be
acceptable and the report from
Buenos Ayres last night stating that
the government had made an affirma
tive announcement, apparently in
sures bia aj^poin^ent. ^ -
It was thought probable that some
of these had escaped and were still at
large in the surrounding fields.
The list of identified dead follows:
Charles JZilliard, Danville.
Alfred Nay, St. Catherines.
John Hefferman, Arthur.
Thomas Evans, Elora.
Edward Sodke, Welland.
John T. Holdaway, Lindenwood.
George W. Storey, Herkeley.
Albert Bowler, Dundalk.
The blazing roof of the asylum,
perched upon the mountainsijie, at
tracted the attention of the entire city.
The cry, “the asylum is on fire,’’ ran
through the streets and hundreds flock
ed up the hill. It was a weird sight that
presented itself.
The scrr'ns of the 1,300 inmates jf
the four buildings drowned every oth
er sound. The firemen fighting both
flames and the insane were in constant
Heyburn,’ Jonas Kenyon, LaFollette, i peril and frequently were seen perche I
townsend.
The adoption of the compromise
measure came after a narrow failure
of democratic efforts to pass the bill
in its original form. But for the fact
that Senator Bailey of Texas, refus
ed to support the bill in the shape
it had passed the house, the measure
would have been passed unchanged
by the senate. ,
As it was, it was beaten by a tie
vote, 39 to 39, Senator Bailey being
the only democrat to vote against
it.
