SAYS
 PEACE IS NEAR Has Two Satisfactory Confer encss With Rebel Leaders SETTLEMENT WILL BE RAPID Four Hundred and Fifty Marines Are Landed at Havana and Hur-
 rIed to cienfuegos-Dis-
 armament Plan.
SETTLEMENT WILL BE RAPID

Havana, September 30.-The work of dis posing peacefully of the revolutionary forces in arms against the Cuban gov ernment is already practically under way. Brig. Gen Frederick Funston, chairman of the disarmament commission, had two amlcable conferences today with Generals Pino Guerra and Del Castillo, and ar ranged a programme perfectly satisfac- tory to all concerned.
 In fact, General Funston said this even- ing that the wind-up would be so smooth and rapid that 1t would take much less time than had been anticipated.
 The first landing of any considerable number of Americans took place tonight. when s50 marines came ashore from the squadron in the hsrbor. This force pro- ceeded to Cienfuegos this evening on q special train. It was explained that this movement was not made on account of any actual trouble in cienfuegos, but for the purpose of exerting a calming infiu- ence on the local situation, which con- tains some possibility of conflict by req son of the tense feeling existing between the government volunteers and the insur- gents.
 Today at the palace passed quietly and rather gloomily. There are yet no signs of Secretary Taft actual occupancy of that place, which was today the scene of many farewells to President Palma and his family. The members of the diplomatic corps and the foreign consuls called in body to say goodbye. They gave ex- pression to many sincere words of friend ship and appreciation of the character and kindliness of the late head of the re- public.
 Receives Visitors. Senor Palma res ived all his visitors with quiet dsgnits and seemed entii ely reconciled to going. although he still ap- pears dejected at the outcome of the rev oution.
 Towards evening the private reception room of the palace was thrown open and scores of personal friends called and re- mained for some time.
 Today Secretary Taft sent a letter to Senor Palma saving he desired to escort him to the railroad station tomorrow and show him every courtesy due to his ex- alted position. Senor Palma thanked Sec retary Taft cordially, but said he wished to leave quietly and without public cere- mony.
 The disarmament commission has decid- ed that the rebels shall not receive pay ments for their arms. but each man will be given transportation and subsistence until he reaches home. The programme of disarmament is simply that one member of the commission accompanied by one or more representatives of the revolutionlsts will visit each command. The arms will be deposited with the battalion command er who will turn them over to the com mission The rebels will take their horses home, the animals which were stolen to be returned later to the owners on proper identification.

NO TRACE OF FRANK SMITH
Oregon Murderer Has Not Been Seen
Since Shooting the Two Of
ficers Saturday.
ficers Saturday.

Portland Ore April 3O.-A special to
the Telegram from WOODBURY., Ore, says
that no trace of Frank Smith. who is be-
ing hunted by posses in the neighborlioOd
of WOODBURY., had been found up to ii
O'Clock today.
The pack of bloodhOundS belonging to
Fred Draper of Spokane arrived at Wood
burn this morning ard were given the
hat found after Policeman Hanlon was
murdered Wednesday at Oregon City.
The dogs were una BILE to secure any scent
of the man, which is not strange con
sidering the fact that nothing authentic
has been heard Of the fugitive since he
disappeared into the nursery early Satur-
day after the encounter with Sheriff
Shaver posse
The ground at that time was wet. which
would alone practically assure failure of
the efforts OF the hounds.
Members of the man hunting party who
returned to Portland today are impressed
with the belief that Sheriff Shaver is
right in his assertion that he hit the fell
low after he himself had been shot.
These men believe that Smiths strength
was only sufficient to reach the dense
underground along Pudding river few
hundred rods east of WOODBURY., and tina
he is now lying, either dead or dying
from exhaustion and starvation. along
that river. This is the most plausible eX-
PLANTATION of the mans non-appearance
that is expressed.
