Havaua, Oct. 3.—The actual dis-
armament. of the insurgents will begin
tomorrow. There is likely to be some
trouble among; a few of the bands, but
it is thought that tne issuance of a ,
^manifesto by Secretary Taft, declaring
a general amnesty covering the period
from the beginning of the revolution j
and also a promise that new govern-
or? and mayors irrespective of politi-
cal character will be appointed by the
secretary, will bring about a peaceful
<.ondition of affairs.
Mayor Ladd. of the disarmament
commission, visited Loynaz Del Caa-
tillos' quarters today and secured or-
ders to the latter's chiefs of brigades
to surrender their arms without de-
lay. though t.hey will be allowed to
retain their horses, providing they se-
cure a document signed by tne mem-
bers of the commission, describing
their mounts.
There has been considerable reluct-
ance among the rebels in laying down
their arms, notwithstanding the re-
quests of their commanders. It is
thought, however, that this will pass.
One of the reasons tire rebels have
for their reluctance is that all the
authorities are still moderates ana
ihat the rural guards still exist, but
the provisional government is likely
to take steps to see that they are not
molested.

Washington. Oct. 3.—Brigadier Gen,

(assigned to Cuban duty at once. This
iiction and the designation of Charles

which was formally announced from
the White House this afternoon, waa
in response to tne cabled request o*

It is the belief that General Bell is
to lie placed in command of the mili-
'!ar\ operations on the island and al
though there Is no Inkling from offi-

Bell is taken to indicate that Secre-

Hearst Was Late.
The Hearst parly was late in arriv-
ing and the 4,000 people Iwui beconii
impatient before the candidate put in
an appearance. He plunped right into
the work cut out for him by declaring
that, although he could nor make a
purtlsan speech, the Talr being non-
partisan In character, he could not re-
sist the opportunity to call the atten-
tion of the voters to the fact t.hat
while they are the sovereign units,
they were not getting a representative
government.
"I have been a member of congrekf
for more than three years," Mr. Hearst
said, ' and In that time I have disco*
ered that the people are misrepresent-
ed. not represented. There are 5),0t 0,-
000 farmers in the United States, but
less than a quarter of tne members are
bonafide farmers and the same ratio
holds good with all OUlSr professions

poration attorneys and who when they
leave congress will go back to the ac-

The situation is so tense that be-
lievers here think a Chicago nranch
it the society will be formed under
.linarajadasas' leadership on broader
Hues and more liberal in right of In-
dividuality than the present cult. The
Insurgents do not propose to stop with
Chicago, but will endeavor to make
the revolt against Oleott's rulv natlou-
al in its acope.
"Le.idbeater was expelled so brutal-
ly thai all right thinking persons must
have be. n offended," said .linarajada-
sas, whether or not the charges of Im-
morality against him were true the
case wax sj managed that no charity
was iivjwu. After I ..ad spoken of
tlie matter several times I received a
hint from Colonel Olcott to drop tt.
As I did not. my expulsion followed."
