Havana, October 10-General Fred
erick Funston will not continue in
command Of the American forces In
Cuba Governor Taft announced to-
night that he and General Funston
will leave Havana for the United
States Saturday on the battleship
Louisiana. With them will go Assist
ant Secretary of State Bacon, and The
affairs of Cuba will be left in the
hands Of Governor Magoon and Gen
eral J. Franklin Bell. In explaining
tni schange Of plans, Governor Taft
said:
General Funston was summoned on
hurry call from the Pacific coast, be-
cause he was well acquainted with
many OF the insurgent chiefs here and
it was thought he could aid us, as he
did greatly in bringing the men in
arms to an agreement. General Funs-
ton was put temporarily in command
Of the troops in Cuba merely as a con-
venience until General Bell should ar
rive. General Funston, Mr.. Bacon and
myself with Mrs Taft and Mrs Bacon,
and our secretaries are returning to
our permanent duties
Governor Taft's condolences In the
chief Of the general staff's ability 10
carry out the programme the governor
has initiated result in the decision TO
continue him in the island
Many Cubans Of the faction to
which Mendez Capote and others who
organized the moderate party belong,
were outspoken against General Funs-
ton, alleging that he had deserted them
in the war to throw off the yoke of
Spain. Governor Taft did not take
cognizance Of this bitterness as he
was familiar with the circumstances
under which General Funston at that
time returned to the United States.
Funston was then i'll and he had the
consent to return, of General Garcia
and other leaders, who appreciated the
long service he had given their cause.
Had the proposal to send three ex-
petitions to Cuba been carried out,
General Funston would have remain
ed at Columbia as the commander Of Q
brigade
twenty-five marines have been or
dered to proceed II f:anoli Soiritus and
Trinidad. At II" ia ter place they
will settle the fiction betEeen ex-
rebels and ex-Hl!ti7 n, who have
| recently been disar1lef. The trouble
appears to have bcen caused by Colo
mel Glynn OF the militia who Is also
collector OF customs. The surrender
ed arms were stored in the custom
house and Glinn re-armed the militia
after the departure Of the disarmament

General Rodriguez. commander OF

these guns In his possession and 10 be
disposed TO make trouble. II these re-
| ports are confirmed. Governor Taft
| will remove Colonel Giyun. General
Brava, commander Of the Insurgents
in that vicinity maintained good faith
! with the commission, even taking the
