Special Cablegram TO The Star.
HAVANA, September 29.-The revolu-
tionary committee, in fulfllment of its
pledge to Secretary Taft, today signed and
sent the following Geographic dispatch to
all leaders of the revolutionary army:
The refusal of the moderates to form
a Cuban government acceptable to both
sides has made necessary American inter-
vention, Secretary Taft assuming control
of the island as provisional governor. His
proclamation, which is published in the
Gazette, is in spirit most noble. 1t
promises that intervention shall be short,
only for the time necessary to reestab-
llsh peace and hold general elections
to form a Cuban government. We have
absolute faith in the loyalty OF President
Roosevelt and his dignified representa-
tives. once out of the power of Palmas
government We have signed today a pledge
to dissolve the revolutionary army, which
has obtained its end in taking up arms,
viz: the return Of the Cuban people to their
right to freely elect government
In order 10 carry out the dissolution We
have today appointed a mixed commission
of Americans and Cubans to represent the
revolutionary army. The said commission
ers will take charge of necessary details
and we ask you and all your forces to obey
them. We believe all conflicts with our
opponents should be avoided, and ask the
leaders TO take at once the necessary meas
ures to dissolve their forces as soon as pos
sible in accord with the resolutions passed
by the commissioners.
"Our valiant brothers will soon return to
their homes with the satisfaction of having
struggled successfully for the triumph Of
justice and freedom in a country whose in
dependence is guaranteed and respected by
the chivalry OF the powerful American ma
ton"
Visit to the Camps.
After sending the above telegram the
committee went to the camps of Generals
Castillo and Pine Guerra, to consult these
leaders about the appointment of a COM
mission which is to meet the other commits
sion which has already been appointed by
Secretary Taft.
The commission headed by Gen. Funston
and the revolutionary committee met to-
night to discuss the final details OF the sur
render of arms by the revolutionists.
Secretary Taft asked the assistant secre-
taries OF the government under the Palma
regime to take charge of the departments
made vacant by the designations Of the
Palma cabinet. These assistant secretaries
are now heads of the various departments
professionally. They are as follows: Secre-
tary of government CASTOR Mora; secre-
tary of state and justice, Pedro Diago; Sec
rotary of finance, Pedro Echarte; secretary
of public instruction, Naldes Rodeyguez
The revolutionary committee arrived at
Arroyo Arenas about O'Clock tonight The
meeting between Gems. Castillo, Pine Guer-
ra and Asbert is hard to describe An en-
thusiastie reception was accorded the five
members of the committee Who were re-
leased from prison this morning. After
many shouts of cuba Hbre'' and cheers for
the liberal party and each commissioner
and a great ovation to Senator Zayas the

which was listened 10 with intense silence
for a while, but when the reader came to
