Havana, Oct. 1.-The work of dis
posing peacefully of the revolutionary
forces in arms against the Cuban gov
eminent is already practically under
way. Brigadier General Frederick Fun
ston, chairman of the disarmament
commission, had two amicable confer
ences Sunday with Generals Pine
Guerrero and Del Castillo and ar
ranged a program perfectly satisfac-
tory to all concerned. In fact General
Funston said this evening that the
windup would be so smooth and rapid
that it will take much less time than
had been anticipated.
The first landing of any considerable
force of Anne cans took place Sun
day night, Wien $50 marines came
ashore from the squadron in the har-
Dor. This force proceeded for Glen
fuesos this evening on a special train.
1t was explained that lis movement
was not made on account of actual
trouble in Cienfuegos, but for the pur-
pose of exerting calming innuence
on the local situation, which contains
some POSSIBILITY of a conflict by rea-
son of the tense feeling existing be-
tween the government volunteers and
the insurgents.

The members of the diplomatic corps
and the foreign consuls called in a
body to say goodby. They gave ex
pressions to many sincere words OF
friendship and appreciation of the
character and kindness of the late
head of the republic. Senior Palma
received all his visitors with quiet dig
nifty and seemed entirely reconcilet
to going, although he still appeared
detected at the outcome of the revolu
ton.
In the evening the private reception
room of the palace was thrown OpeI
