REBELS DISARM WILLINGLY
SURPRISE CUBAN PROVISIONAL
 GOVERNMENT.

Hundreds of People Go Out from Ha-
 vana to Witness Interesting Pro-
 ceeding-American Rough Rider, Who
 Was With the Rebels in the Field
 Says That Most of the Fighting at
 the Outbreak Was by Game Cocks.
 Havana, Oct. 3.-The willing alacrity with which the rebels are laying down their firearms to the commission ap- pointed to superintend that important phase of the termination of the revo- lution is the greatest surprise the pro- visional government has yet encounter ed in it's smooth working programme. This operation is now well under way in the vicinity of Havana, 700 of Guer- ra's men, withtheir horses, having al- ready been entrained for Pinar del Rio, while one brigade marched to Gunajay to-day without a sign of disorder
 Hundreds of persons from Havana went to Santiago de Las Vigas and Rincon to-day to view the disarma- ment, They were disappointed at not seeing the rebels actually surrender their guns, but nevertheless they witt messed an interesting sight, As a con- cession to the men General Funston and Major Ladd permitted them to take their arms to Pinar del Rio, where most of the men joined the insurgent army. The rifles, however, were first counted by officers of marine under the direction of Major Ladd, and the men will be required to surrender them be- fore leaving the train at Pinar del Rio,
 According to the testimony of an American named Harvey, formerly a Roosevelt rough rider who has been with the insurgents, the amount of ac- tual fighting during the revolution was really very small. Harvey says that most of the fighting he had seen was between game cocks. This is borne out by the fact that easily ten per cent. of Guerra's men carry fighting cocks tied to their saddles.
 The speech delivered by Governor Taft before the University of Havana has been received with great satisfac- tion by both the revolutionists and the government in Santa Clara province.
 Governor Taft now occupies the office in which the affairs of Cuba have beer 1 administered successiyely by the Span ish governors of the island, General Leonard Wood and President Palma, He established himself in these quarters this afternoon. He will take up his res idence in the palace in few days.
 Col, E. H. Crowder, judge advocate said to-day that the continuance of tht status of the Cuban republic without change obviates practically every legai difficulty which might otherwise have been caused by the establishment of a 1 provisional government.

HEARS1,S ACCEPTANCE.
His Letter to the Independence League
 tissues of Campaign.

New York, Oct. S.--The Independence league, which nominated William R. Hearst for governor to-day received from MT. Hearst the letter accepting the leagues nomination. Mr. Hearst said in part:
 Two things are of special importance as issues in this campaign, liberty and prosperity. By far the greater of these Is liberty, for man not truly free is not really man at all. The object ot the Independence league is to resist the attacks upon human liberty, upon gov ernment of the people, corporation rule and to resist the attacks upon general prosperity by those same corporations, and by dishonest financial agencies
 "The great problem of the hour, the problem that the people must solve with their ballots and in legislation is to do away with corporation control of the government.
 "lNhat control is now practically abso- lute. It rests mainly upon our system of partisan politics, directed by boss rule and subject to trust ownership.
 "As long as trust can buy the bosses on both sides, dictate the nominations on both sides, control railroad com missions to give away franchises bribt with the peoples money the peoples representatives. what part do the peo- pie themselves play in the govern | ment?h

DREADNoUGH7,s SUccrts
Great English Battleship on Thirty
 Tours Trial.

London, Oct. 8,-The battleship Dreadnought to-day started a thirty hours consecutive steam trial. In sev- eral preliminary short trials she is said to have proved distinct success from the point of view of handiness in ma neuvering, this in spite of the weather conditions, which were far from favor able. As the Dreadnought is the first example of the use of turbine engines in a warship intended to maneuver and fight in company with other units of corresponding power, her success is re- garded with great satisfaction in naval circles and attributed entirely to her double rudders.

 CIPLES.

 New York Oct. S.-Wath the dec:a- ration that the issue in the forthcon- ing campaign in this state is not ho be one of republican principles or of dem- ocratic principles, or of partisan issue a. all, but the vital issue of decent government, Charles E.

CAMPS PAPER ON NHW RULES
Suggestions for Their Proper Interpre-
 tation Are Made

New York, Oct. 3,-Walter Camp $ paper on the football rules, making suggestions for their proper interpre- tation according to the intent of those who formed them, was issued tonight. Following are extracts.
 That the referee is absolute in asl points not covered by the umpire, but the umpires are absolute regarding fouls, and the referee must allow pre- cedenee to their decisions in case of a foul.
 The referee hasthe power to short en the time of halves arbitrarily in case the game is not started early enough so that, in his opinion, two full halves may be played before darkness. In any other case the time of the game can only be shortened by mutual con- sent between thetwo captains.
 Any man who desires to make faii catch must raise his hands clearly above his head to signify that inten- ton"
 "Otficials should note that tripping is specifically forbidden and defined as ob- structing a player below the knees with a similar portion of the tripper's anat- 1 omy. It is permissible for an end to drive in in breaking up the interference but he must not trip the opposing play CT nor may he tackle below the knees The only man who, to tackle below the knees are the linemen from tackle tc tackle in the scrimmage. These same men, namely those from tackle to tackle to tackle in the scrimmage or the offence cannot be dropped back un. less the man dropped back zoe sat least five yards back and another takes his place in the line.
 "The rules committee has been asked to make further Interpretation of the rule regarding a lineman dropping back
 The linesman has particular duty in seeing that the ends are on side when the ball is put in play, and that they are not ripped when going down the field under kick. And, finally, he should watch especially to see that the man who has kicked the ball behind the line of scrimmage is not bumped into or roughed by the opponents after he has made his kick.
 Any local ground rules should be | agreed upon before the game starts After the game begins the points fol the officials to watch are failure to be properly on the line of scrimmape hurdling and tackling below the knees.

A1GER VAS FOR ANIMATION
Favored Taking Over Cuba at Same
 Time as Porto Rico.

Detroit, Mich, oct. S.-senator R, A, Alger, former secretary of war, in com menting on the Cuban situation said;
 T was in favor of taking over Cuba at the time we took over Porto Rico, but President Mckinley and some bt the others in the cabinet did not agree with me. I have always entertained serious doubts as to the success of self-government in Cuba; but it may be that the action of the American government in this crisis will bring home to the Cubans the full sense of their responsibilities to themselves and point the way more clearly to them in the work of taking care of themselves I personally would prefer to see Cuba develop into a strong independent re- public than to have it annexed to the United States just now. for I think we have enough to do as it is"
