The negotiations between the Funston
commission and the commission appointed
by the insurgents for the delivery of the
rebels arms are progressing. Tn insur-
gents committee consists of Gems. Guerra,
Monteagudo, Recio and Valiente. Gen.
Castillo, although he accepts the necessity
for the delivery of the arms, is touchy
about some OF the details. There is no
danger that Gen. Castillo will do anything
to put obstacles in the way of peace. Guerra
and Asbert are doing their best to facilitate
matters. Gen. Guzman, from Santa Clara,
n expected here tomorrow. No trouble
is feared in that province except at Cien-
fuegos.
. The Governor OF Santa Clara, Gen. Ala
man, who is a rabid partisan of ex-President
Palma, rendered his resignation, but Gov.
Taft has asked him to withdraw it,. The
provisional government considers his ser
vices necessary in reestablishing order.
Gov. Taft has also requested Senior
Quesada, the Cuban Minister at Washing
ton, to withdraw his resignation. He has
also instructed the Cuban Department Of
State to cable to all the Cuban representa-
tives abroad to retain their Offices until
further notice.
A strong annexationist feeling is grow
ing. There is talk Of organizing an an
Dexationist party, which has never been
done before. Some Moderates are taking
q prominent part in this Movement.
The Funston commission and the revolu-
tionary commission agreed this afternoon
that the horses captured or seized by the
rebels might be kept, but the Cubans raised
o point about the arms which Gen. Funston
refused to concede. They wish to keep
the arms which are the private property
of some Of their men, arguing that they
bought these arms with their own money
and ave always kept them in their houses.
The arms we're used for hunting deer and
other purposes.
A largely attended meeting of rebels
was held to-day at Gen. Asbert's camp
near San Francisco de Paula. Senior
Zayas made an appeal to the men to lay
down their arms. Juan Gualberto Gomez
and Gen. Asbert also spoke. They said that
in a few hours they would all go to their
homes, for now there was no further neces-
sity for their services in behalf OF liberty.
They declared that the new elections prom
,ised by Gov. Taft would be fairly conducted.
