Funston Declares Matters Will Move So Smooth and Rapid That It '-v.-;; , ? • . ' Will Take Much Less Time jv... Than. Was Expected,. . Havana.--The work of. disposing peacefully of the revolutionary forces In arms against the Cuban govern­ ment is already :f practically upder way. Brig. Gen. Funston, chairman of the disarmament corn mission, had two amicable conferences, with Gens. Pino Guerra and Del Castillo *nd ar­ ranged a programme perfectly satis­ factory to all concerned. In fact, (Sen. Funston said that the wind-up will be smooth and rapid, and that it will take much less time than badb<3en anticipated. The landing of any considera­ ble number of Americans took place Sunday nigbtj|when 450 marines came ashore from ttie squadron in the har­ bor. This force proceeded for Cien- fuegos on a special train. It was ex­ plained that this movement was not made on account of any actual trouble in Cienfuegos. but for the purpose of exerting a calming influence on the local situation, which contains some possibility of a conflict by reason of the tense feeling existing between the government volunteers and the insur­ gents. Bid Farewell to Palma. Sunday at the palaceHpassed quietly and rather gloomily.- There are as yet no signs of Secretary Taft's actual will be deposited with the battalion commander, who will turn them over to the commission. The rebels will take their horses home, the animals which have been stolen to be returned later to the owners on proper Identi­ fication. In order to expedite the return home of the large number of revolutionists In Pinar del Rio province and avoid possible disturbances during the oper­ ation, a special train will be run frpm| the point on the line nearest the rebel camps to San Juan de Martinez, the terminus of the Western railroad. Men and horses will be distributed at the intermediate station^. 1 « The provisional government has no expectation that even a considerable number of the revolutionists will sur­ render their arms. Most of the weapons are the personal property of the men parying them. Start for the Provinces. The* first of the disarmament com­ mission have left here for Puerto Principe. Others will start for Sanla Clara province on a special train, which will pick up the arms tujrned in at the various places 6n the way. As Santa Clara province contains the largest number of rebels in arms the next year. We consider our fight has not been in vain. We have faith that the Independence of Cuba is not en­ dangered by American Intervention, and, together with Gen. Funston, we have drunk a toast to President Roosetelt and the Independence of Cuba." Marinas for Cienfuegos. The landing party of marines and bluejackets for Cienfuegos was mad* up of detachments from the Louisiana, New Jersey, Newark and Minneapolis The men were all landed at the Cap­ tain of the Port's wharf in heavy marching order. They boarded 16 street cars, in which they were taken to Villa Nueva, where they were placed on board two trains of six cars each. Tents were carried for the bat­ talions, and also three Colt guns. The two sections followed the regular through train, which: left at nine O'clock. The battalion attracted little atten­ tion, as ttie transfer Was not looked for. For the present the distribution of marines will be as follows: At Sagua La Grande, 30; at Cienfuegos, 225 from the Dixie, in addition to those on their way to that city; guarding the treasury at Havana* 30, • and one brigade to be stationed at Columbia. The battleship Ken- * ^tucky arrived here Sunday jChrfaglni 500 more marines. May Reinstate Cabinet Members. Gov. Taft has informed all the men- bers of • the Palma cabinet that he would appoint ministers In about ten days; in the meanwhile the sub-secre­ taries are acting. It is believed that some of the ex-members of the cabi­ net will be reinstalled. Gov. Taft has se:pt a cablegram u to THE CROOKED ROAD.

The members of the diplomatic corps and the foreign consuls called in a body to say good-by. . They gave expressions of many sin­ cere words of friendship and appreci­ ation of the character and kindliness of the late head of the republic. Senor Palma received all his visitors with quiet dignity and seemed entirely rec­ onciled to going, although he still ap­ pears dejected at the outcome of the revolution. Towards evening the private recep­ tion room of the palace was thrown open and scores of personal friends called and remained for some time with Senor Palma, his wife and other members of the family. The ex-presl- dent is besieged by requests for inter­ views by cable and in person. London newspapers are' urgent in asking for an interview. To the cablegrams the ex-president has not replied, while to the newspaper correspondents here he has sent word that he has nothing further to say. J Secretary Taft sent a letter to Senor Palma saying he desired to escort him to the railroad station, and show him every cjmrtesy due his exalted posi­ tion. ̂ jSenor Palma thanked Secretary 'i'aft cordially, but said'Jie wished to leave quietly and without public cere­ mony. No Pay for Rebel Arms. The disarmament commission has decided that the rebels shall not re­ ceive payment for their arms, but each man will be given transportation and subsistence until he reaches home. The programme^of disarmament is simply that one member of the com­ mission accompanied by one or more representatives of the revolutionists will visit each command.

Funston expects to remain in Havana in general charge of the work of disarmament. When this is Com­ pleted he will take command of all the United States troops in Cuba. Grateful to United States. Gen. Pino Guerra, speaking of the new situation in' the island, said all the men of his forces were eminently satisfied with the arrangements. He expressed the belief that the subtility of the government was now assured and predicted that never again would there be a revolution In Cuba, thanks largely to the United States govern­ ment for the hand it had taken in the* settlement of the difficulty. While many of his- men wanted to parade in Havana before dispersing, their commanders regarded this as un­ necessary, and Gen. Guerra said there would be no demonstration that would permit of the possibility of a renewal of the previous ill feeling. ABked whether his men shared his content­ ment With the proposition to^ return quietly tp their homes, Gen. Guerra said: "The men under our commands will obey us. Those who do not certainly never were with us. The revolution is ended and we have won, so we are supremely content." Del Castillo Is Content. Gen.s Del Castillo said: "We would have preferred a peaceful solution ar­ ranged, if possible, between the Cu­ bans themselves, instead of interven­ tion; but we are satisfied because the corrupt administration has fallen and an honest election can be depended on city militia was disbanded. American Marines Not 8lain. - The story published in the United States that a number of American marines had keen killed by insurgents .is declared by Gov. Taft and the rebel commanders to be without foundation. Col. Burnett, the ranking marine of­ ficer, is in command of the battalion sent to Cienfuegos. Guard Against Yellow Fever. . Drs. Finlay and Barrett, the chief health officers of Cuba, and Dr. Lopez, the health officer of Havana, conferred with Gov. Taft for the purpose of ar­ ranging extra measures looking to the extermination of • mosquitoes, or, in other words, to guard against yellow fever. There are six cases of fever In Havana and this causes some ap­ prehension. Pledge Allegiance to Taft. Gov. Taft has received telegrams ^from provincial and municipal author­ ities throughout the island declaring allegiance to the provisional - govern­ ment. Many of these communications were couched in extravagant terms of fealty. Gov. pieman, of Santa Clara province, telegraphs that Ire had al­ ready resigned, to the Palma adminis­ tration, but had received no answer. He n.pw sends his resignation to Gov. Taft. Work of Preparation. Commissary General Sharp will not cease his work on the departure of the first expeditionary force for Cuba. As soon as the troops are landed, which will be within ten days--another full supply of commissary stores for 30 days will be sent to Cuba by a mer­ chant liner. One week later, a third supply for 30 days will be forwarded to Cuba. The object of sending the supplies so rapidly is to get them into the depots at Havana and have them bandied without confusion.
