REGULARS NEEDED
TO insure PEACE
GOVERNOR TAFT TO KEEP EN-
TIRE AMERICAN EXPEDITION
OF $500 IN CUBA.
BELIEVES TROOPS WILL
ESTABLISH CONFIDENCE
Disarmament of insurgents Being Wig
orously Pressed-HandfuI of Ma
rines Disarms Band of TWO Hun
dred Rebels.

Havana, Oct. 8.-Gov. Taft said Sat
urday that he has no intention of turn
ing back any portion of the expe-
dition Of $500 regular troops ordered
to Cuba. He feels that this number is
needed as a precaution against fu-
ture trouble. Although he does not
pay serious attention to the rumors
of opposition to the disarmament of
the insurgents, he says that the troops
to be sent here will be sufficient to
fully garrison the towns and will es-
tablish confidence among the disband-
ed insurgents that they will not be
imposed upon by the municipal police
or rural guards. The return of Gen.
Pine Guerra to Pinar del Rio is ex-
pected to aid materially in winding up
matters in that province. The ques-
ton of pride as to which side shall
lay down their arms first is causing
some difficulty in Pinar del Rio, as
ELSEWHERE. Even the municipal po-
lice have been temporarily disbanded
in some instance as precaution
against clashes.
Liberal Leader to Use Influence.
Senior Xiques, the liberal leader in
Puerto Principe, visited Gov. Taft
Saturday, accompanied by Gen. Del
Castillo. At the request of the gov
ernor, Xiques will use his influence
in bringing about the prompt disband-
ment of the insurgents in Puerto Prin-
cipe. Getting the insurgents home
and breaking up their organizations is
believed by Mr.. Taft to be of far
more Importance than getting them to
lay down their arms, although this
does not mean that the disarmament
commission is not vigorously pressing
the demand for the disarmament of
the insurgents. When all the insur-
gent forces are disbanded the maraud-
ers can be dealt with as individuals,
and will not be able to cloak their dep
relations under the pretense of for
aging for the rebel camps.
The government volunteers are cir
culating a rumor that the insurgents
are maintaining their organizations,
but this is not believed by the Amer.
lean army officials
Marines Disarm Cuban Band.
A detachment of 200 insurgents Sat
urday rode into the Carload suburb Of
the city of Puerto Principe, waving
machetes and threatening people.
Twenty American marines from the
detachment on duty at Puerto Prin-
cipe went to Carload, dispersed the in
surgents and arrested 80 of them.
Gen. Cabellero, the insurgent leader,
with 100 men, thereupon proceeded
to the headquarters Of the commander
of the marines and demanded the re-
lease of the captured insurgents. In
stead of releasing them the Ameri-
cans disarmed Caballero and all of his
followers who could be caught. There
upon Caballero promised that all the
insurgents under his command would
disarm.
Confer with the President.
Washington, Oct. s-Secretary Root
and Charles e. Magoon were in con-
ference with the president at the
white house Saturday for some time,
the purpose being to instruct the gov
ernor relative to his treatment of the
Cuban question when he assumes Of
fee at Havana. Gen. Bell, chief Of
staff, who left Washington in the
afternoon with Gov Magoon for Ha-
vana, by way of Tampa, also called
on the president. It is stated that
there is no present intention of de-
parting from the programme origin
ally outlined for the dispatch of the
troops for Cuba and within few
hours it is expected that some Of the
troop ships will be leaving Newport
News for Havana.
Whether or not other detachments
in addition to those originally ordered
to Cuba will be sent will, it is now de-
clared, depend entirely upon Secre-
tary Taft's report upon conditions
there.
