CUBAN REBELS
YIELD THEIR ARMS
Work of Disarming Will Soon
^ be Accomplished.
CUBAN FLAG IS STILL WAVING
Referring to Flag, Taft Says He Is
Working For the Cuban Republic
and, That Banner Will Fly as Long
as He Is In the Palace.
Havana, Oct. G.-—While the disar
mament of the rebels will not be com
pleted Saturday night, It Is now con
lldently expected that the entire oper
ation will bo finished by Monday, with
the exception of Puerto Principe prov
ince, which has been less affected
than any other province by the rebel
lion, but which Is now a favorite re
gion for marauding hands, which
should more correctly be called ban
dits than rebels.
Although the surrender of guns has
not been made compulsory, either by
the provisional government or the
disarming commission, the rebel com
manders have all given their follow
ers to understand that It was expect
ed and that the laying down of their
arras was a matter of duty. The re
sult of this has been that the number
of rifles surrendered Is larger In pro
portion to the number of men dis
banded than the government expected.
Tor Instance, 800 rebels disbanded in
Plnar del Ulo province up to Friday
hav, turned In GOO guns.
Governor Taft regards this propor
tion rather better than the average,
but reports from Santa Clara Indicate
tb|t nearly all the guns of General
Gusman's commands have been sur
rendered.
A great majority of the rebel rifles
are old and poor, and many dilapi
dated weapons have been turned In.
In Plnar del Rio practically all the
rebels have been disarmed, and have
returned to their homes. In western
and southern Havana the work of dis
banding Is going on steadily, and prob
ably will ibe completed by Saturday.
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon
and Captain McCoy visited eastern
Havana Saturday, and hope to com
plete disarmament there without loss
of time.
General Montero, commander of the
forces In eastern Havana, visited the
palace Friday, and agreed to the dis
armament conditions.
Matanzas province has no insurg
ents, with the exception of a few of
Montero's followers.
In Santa Clara province disarma
ment Is going on vigorously, and the
disarmament commissioners and the
provisional government aro received
with every evidence of good will.
Disarmament has been completed In
Santiago province, with the exception
of email force* In the vicinity of Man-
xanlllo, who will disband Saturday.
Oovernor Taft said be believed that
the only roglon where there was a
possibility of trouble to be Camaguay.
Cattle lifting and depredations to o'th
er property Is going on in this seotlon.
The disarming operations conducted
Friday in weslcrn Havana by Major
Eugene F. Ladd of the disarmament
commission was not all smooth sail
ing. After the disarming of General
Del Castillo's personal escort, which
produced 50 guns. Major Ladd pro
ceeded to disarm the men of Del Cas
tillo’s brigade commanders. Upon
meeting Arcnclda at Santiago de las
Vegas, Major Ladd was told that his
force of 600 had already dispersed,
but that 150 guns would be turned
over Saturday afternoon. When Ma
jor Ladd returned, however, only 40
guns were forthcoming from the su
bordinate officers left In charge. Ma
jor I-add suspected the subordinates
of concealing weapons, and threaten
ed to take the matter up with Gov
ernor Taft. The subordinates at once
promised to produce the remainder of
the guns later.
The force under General Guas was
disarmed by Major 1-add at San An
tonio de los Llanos.
In response to the criticisms made
by Americans that the Cuban flag was
flying over the palace while that build
ing Is 'being occupied by an American
governor, Governor Taft said:
"1 am here working for the Cuban
republic; therefore, the Cuban flag
will fly as long as I am here In that
capacity."
