Havana. Oct. 5.-Whne the disarma- ment of the rebels win not be com pleted on Saturday it is now expected that the entire operation will be fin ished by Monday with the exception of m Puerto Principe province, which has been less affected than any other province by the rebellion but which Is now favOrite region for marauding bands which can more correctly be called bandits than rebels
 Although the surrender or guns has not been made compulsory the rebel commanders have all given them to understand that the laying down of arms is a matter of duty. The number of rifles surrendered is larger in pro portion to the number of men disband- ed than the government expected. Governor Taft regards this pFoportjon as better than the average but reports from Santa Clara indicate that all the guns of Guzman's command have been surrendered.
 In eaS tern and southern Havana the work of disbanding is going on steadily and probably will be completed by Sat urday- Secretary of State Bacon and Captain Mccoy will visit eastern Ha- vana on Saturday and hope to com plete disarmament there without loss of time. In Santa Clara province dis armament is going on vigorously and with every evidence of good will Gov ernOr Taft said he believed that the only region where there was a poss;- bility of trouble to be Camaguy.
 The disarming operations conducted today in western Havana by Major Eugene F., Ladd of the disarmament commission was not all smooth sailing. After the disarming of General Cas- tnlO's personal escort which produced. fifty guns. Major Ladd proceeded to. disarm the men of Del Castillo's brig ade commands Upon meeting General Arancia at Santiago. Major Ladd was told that his force of 300 men had all. ready dispersed but that 150 guns would be turneo over this evening. When Major Ladd returned. however. only forty guns were forthcoming Major Ladd suspected the subordinates Of cOncealing their weapons and threat ened to take the matter up with Gov ernOr Taft. The subordinates at once promised to produce the remainder of the guns.
 The forces under Guas were dis armed by Major Ladd this afternoon at San Antonio De Los Banos. General Guas went over the default in his promise to his followers that they could keep their guns He said that he was willing to do this to show his conf !. dence in the Americans. Detachments ! of the forces of his subordinates have been, with 200 volunteers, stationed at Guiria- As a result of i'll feeling. the ! families Of his followers residing in l Guiria have been badly treated by tho ] volunteers. The men disarmed today : do not dare to return to Guiria Major Ladd has promised to report this mat | ter to Governor Taft. and Guiria will . be garrlsoned by marines and voIun- l teers will be disarmed and disbanded l The last last of Pino Guerra's forces | entrained this afternoon at Rincon.
