Havana, Oct 7-While the disarmar

confidently expected that the entire
operation will be finished by Monday,
with the exception of Puerto Principe
province. which has been less affected
than any other province by the rebel
lion. but which is now a favorite re-
gion for marauding bands which
should more correctly be called ban
dts than rebels.

not been made compulsory either by
the provisional government or the dis
armfng commission. rebel command
ers have all given their followers to
that the laying down of their arms was

Many Guns Turned In.
The result of this has been that the
number of rifles surrendered is larger
in proportion to the number OF men
disbanded. than the government ex-
pected For instance 500 rebels dis
Danued IN Plnaf del RIO province up
to yesterday have turned in 500 guns
Gov. Taft regards this proportion
rather better than the average, but re-
ports from Santa Clara indicate that
nearly all the guns of Gen. Guzman's
command have been surrendered. A
great majority of the rebel rifles are
old and poor, and many dilapidated
weapons have been turned in.
In response to the criticism made by
Americans that the Cuban flag was fly

Is being occupied by an American gov
