GOMEZ GUEST OF HONOR
Brilliant Banquet ut Havana Very Largely
Att>nAaA

Brilliant Banquet at Havana Very Largely
Attended.
HAVANA, Feb. 27.-The banquet at
the Tacon theater proved brilliantly
successful affair. Governor General
Brooke and Major General Lee spoke.
Cubans generally regard the occurrences
at the function as the most promising
auguries of Cuban independence since
the peace protocol was signed. The
theater was crowded to overfowing
with spectators and more than 2U0 COW
ers were laid for the banquetters. Be-
side the governor general and General
Lee the company included Major Gen.
eral Ludlow, General Chaffee, the gov.
ernor generals chief of staff; the staffs
of Generals Lee and Ludlow and other
army and naval officers, together with
many
Prominent Citizens and Omclals.
General Andrade sat on the right of
General Gomez and Mayor Lacoste on
his left. The boxes were filled with
people representing Havanas best soci-
ETY.. AS the American generals entered
trumpeter at the door blew once,
whereupon a concealed band played
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" When
the Cuban commanders entered the
trumpet was sounded twice and the
band played the Cuban hymn. Among
the speakers were Senior Pedro Lorento.
Colonel Carlos Garcia, Culberto Gomez,
and General Lanusa, secretary of the
department of justice. The tendency
of all the speeches was towards indie
pendence for Cuba with eulogy for
General Gomez and assertions that he
must never more leave the island. The
spectators called vociferously for a
Speech from Major General Lee.
His remarks and those of General
Brooke were translated for the benefit
of the assembly by Senior Pablo Desver-
nins, secretary of the department of
finance. Both of the American gen.
erals repeated former statements that
the United States intended to establish
a stable government in the island and
then to deliver it to the Cubans them
selves. These assurances were vocifer-
ously applauded. General Gomez him
self did not speak owing to the hoarse-
ness from which he is suffering,
General Gomez withdrew from the
theater about midnight, crowds in the
streets applauding him wildly. as he
emerged and following his carriage for
blocks. The general, who is much in
need of rest, said to friend:
"This popularity is killing me-"

Weekly Oil Review.

Plttsburg, April 1.-For four months
the Sclo development in Harrison
county, Ohio, has been the stellar at
traction. Under the restless proddlng
of the drill the outside limits Of the
producing territory have been defined
except to the Southeast, in which dl-
rectlon all eyes are turned anxiously
looking for additional producing terri
tory. There Is not much to hang the
hope of an extension on, even in that
direction, for the Anderson and Hend-
erson farm tests near Hanover, were
so nearly dry that they will not make
profitable producers. Neither the Wit
taker nor the Fisher farm well is good
as first indicated when drilled into the
sand Instead of 40 barrel wells, half
the size will be their speed. A short
distance farther south will more than
likely bring busters. The we'll drilling
on the r. Whitaker farm and now
fishing, will show the value of terri
rectfons the field has been defined, ex-
cept to determine how near the pres
ent producing area can be carrledin the
direction of the various dry holes that
surrounds the field on all sides.
Interior operations are still retarded
on account of bad roads. There is a

gradually growing smaller as they as
cend, until finally like ants dangerous
ly near toppling over with their loads,
though, to your relief and amazement,
crawling of the white blanket into the

On the little plateau at the summit
were piled hundreds of pilgrims out
fits, separated from one another by
narrow paths, making the whole seem
like city in miniature. Buried under
the seventy feet of snow which had
fallen during the winter were two 9TH
