eminent is already practically under
way. Brigadier General Frederick Fun
ston, chairman of the disarmament
commission, had two amicable confer
ences Sunday with Generals Pine
Guerrero and Del Castillo and ar
ranged a program perfectly satisfac-
tory to all concerned. In fact General
Funston said this evening that the
windup would be so smooth and rapid
that it will take much less time than
had been anticipated.
The first landing of any considerable
day night, Wien 450 marines came
ashore from the squadron in the har-
Dor. This force proceeded for Glen
fuesos this evening on a special train.
1t was explained that r4is movement
was not made on account OF actual
trouble in Cienfuegos, but for the pur-
pose of exerting calming innuence
on the local situation, which contains
some possibility of a conflict by rea-
son of the tense feeling existing be-
tween the government volunteers and
the insurgents.
FareweIIs at the Palace.
The day at the palace passed quiely
and rather gloomi1y. There are as yet
no signs of Secretary Aaft's actual oc-
cupancy of the edifice, which Sunday
was the scene of number of farewells
to ex-President Palma and his family.
The members of the diplomatic corps
and the foreign consuls called in a
body to say goodby. They gave ex-
pressions to many sincere words OF
friendship and appreciation OF the
character and kindness of the late
head of the republic. Senior Palma
received all his visitors with quiet dig
nifty and seemed entirely reconciled
to going, although he still appeared
detected at the outcome of the revolu-
tion.
In the evening the private reception
room of the palace was thrown open
and scores of personal friends called
and remained for some time with
Senior Palma, his wife and other mem
bers of the family. Tne ex-president
is besieged for interviews by cable
grams and in person. The London
papers are urgent in asking for inter
views. To the cablegrams the ex
president has replied, while to the
newspaper correspondents he has sem
word that he has nothing further tt
say.
Program of Disarmament.
uno o,sormomont commission has
decided that the rebels shall not re
ceive payment for their arms, but eacf
man will be given transportation ant

The program of the disarmament Il

will visit each command. The arm
will be deposited with the .atLaliol
commander, who will turn them owe

take their horses home, the animal
which have been stolen to be returne
later to the owners on proper ident
fication.
General Guerrero himself Wiz assis

Governor Taft has informed all t

secretaries are acting. It is believ
