Guzman"s Force Disbanded.

General Guzmans big force is now completely disbanded and the only vis ible weapons in the possession of the men are machetes. They assert that these are the only weapons they ever had. It is estimated that of 5000 or 10000 rebels in the province of Santa Clara not more than 1000 guns would be recovered. The commissioners re- alize that it will require another week to get all the arms that will be sur rendered and complete the dispersal of the insurgents.
 At Hatuy, in the province of Pureto Principe, force of 400 insurgents, com manded by Brgadier General Reynoso, refused to surrender their guns, while the volunteers were permitted to re- tain theirs. General Hernandez wired General hunston that the volunteers must be disbanded before he could sue ceed in dsarming the rebels. This at titude on the part of the insurgents Is directly contradictory to the pledge General Guzman made to Governor Taft. At the outset of the disarma- ment movement GuZman, with the other leaders, agreed to lay down their arms, making no stipulation that the government troops should do likewise, relying wholly on Governor Tafts promise of protection. This obstacle to pacification tends more than any other toward a decision to employ American cavalry to complete the disbandment of the rebels.

Livingston Talks on Cotton.

Congressman L. F. Livingston of the Fifth district, in a conversation today, speaking of the cotton situation, said:
 ''rhe present cotton season will prove the most disastrous in the history of Georgia. I generally incline to the opti- mistic side when misfortune appears i'll my bailiwck but under the present con ditions 1t Is difficult to take a cheerful view of the situation. l have been over a considerable portion of the cotton belt and have reports from other sections, and l have seen and heard little to give me encouragement. The heavy and con t!nuous rains, the recurrent storms, the lack of labor and the approaching cold weather, which will make labor even scarcer makes it practically certain that there will be no middling cotton east of the Mississippi river and very little oil the other side It may be though that the planter will receive for his small crop price sufficient to compensate him for the losses caused by advarse weather con- ditions, but this seems doubtful"

 Cubans.
SLOW TO LAY DOWN ARMS

Havana, October 6-The disarmament Of the rebels can not be successfully com pleted until the volunteers organized by the Cuban government have been paid off, disarmed and disbanded That is the position that has been taken by various rebel commanders scattered throughout the island, which are strongly inclined to remain under arms until the volunteer or ganizations disappear. This is the only important factor now retarding the other wise fairly rapid dispersal of the rebel forces.
 The disposition of the provisional gov ernment Is to yield to this demand. The volunteers would have been mustered out of service sooner but for the necessity to have some force in addition to the po- lice for the purpose of guarding the towns It is related, however, that in many sections the presence of yolun- teers and the miliha only acts as an IT, ritant to the surrendering rebels. The conduct of the volunteers to their late opponents is not always exemplary, and what seems most needed is that the pres ence of a sufficient force of United States soldiers and marines, to so thoroughly garrison every town that the volunteers can be rapidly dispensed with and sue ceeded by capable and well-disciplined American soldiers. Until the towns are thus garrisoned, it is not believed that qualification will be complete.
 Volunteers Cause Friction.
 While the provisional government is not insistent on getting in all the rebel guns, it is believed that most of these weapons would be surrendered but for the presence of the volunteers. This attitude is apparent at all points, but it is par tlcularly so in southern Santa Clara, where the progress of disbandment today was very poor and where the number of guns surrendered was ridiculously small as compared with the number of men dis persed.
 Of 3G0O rebels visited in the Palmira district only 15O surrendered their rifles. The disarmament commission spent much time in endeavoring to find various dis persed bapds, but it is evident that many of the men have not yet returned to their homes, and that many are concealing their weapons. All the men retained their horses whether the animals were theirs originally or not.

Mayor Woodward at Outs.

Apparently as the result of threatened prohibition election, Mayor J. G. Wood ward is at outs with the city finance committee and the two are engaged in a tuggle for supremacy.
 Owing to the fact that the citys in- come has been reduced by some $25,000 as the result of closing of barrooms and beer saloons. Mayor Woodward says he does not propose that the city shall carry over any debts into next year. He an nounces it as his purpose to pay this year the balance due on the Washington street vladuct and several city schools, amount ing to about $4O,000 and which would under the ordinary policy have gone over to next year.
 In view of the reduction of the city's revenue and the coming prohibition cleo tion. which. if successful, would cut off much of the city's income the Mayor states he does not propose to carry over any debts for the new administration.
 The finance committee takes the other view of 1t and wants to use this money in repaving Peachtree street, increasing the police force and making other needed Improvements. But the Mayor says he will have none of 1t. If these debts are not paid now the Mayor declares he will veto every appropriation that comes from the council and will refuse to sign the vouchers if the appropriations are passed over his head. As a last resort he has threatened to take the matter into the courts and says he is backed up In his position by the city attorney.
 Recorder Broyles has suggested doubling the saloon and beer licenses as a means of recovering the income which the city has lost by reason of the closing of forty odd saloons

he sent across the ocean to her; others
he tore up and tried to forget. But
there were only three letters from her
in all the four years he was gone, and
they all came on Christmas eve. Long
friendly letters they were, just like the
chats they used to have, but with no
sign of the thing he wanted her to
write above all else. The stupid artist
worked so hard that he could hardly
help winning some shadowy success in
all that time. There was picture or
two in the salon; his instructors grew
encouraging; there was line now and
then in the papers, all Of which pulled
him up nightly because he vainly
hoped they might make some difference
with the maiden.
"When four years had passed the
artist thought he might return to his
home in New York and start his work
there. He told himself over and over
again that he was going home to the
maiden. and his heart beat absurdly
with hope of seeing her and then sank
heavily again at thought of the change
the years might have made, of the es-
arrangement they might have brought.
During the time he had been away she
had written many stories and had final
ly convinced the editors of their worth.
He saw her name in the contents Of
q number of magazines. The old days
were changed. He would no longer find
her in the cheap boarding house. II
she sent him away three years before,
she probably had almost forgotten him
in all this time, but the thought Of the
Christmas letters spurred him to write
to her and tell her of his return. He
would reach New York the day before
Christmas, the anniversary Of his leav-
ing. Would she meet him that evening
at half past G in the little restaurant
lie would wait for her at their same
table in the corner. and they would talk
over old times. The artist arrived In
New York on the day he expected, and
all afternoon lie wandered about, wait
ing for the hour of their engagement

not come. But the good fairy waved
