Havana. Feb. 2L-Independence Day was

General and Mrs. Wood were showered
with flowers by the children as they
passed.
The Republican party held . meeting in

Senior Capote. who presided. said there
was never more need than now to be quiet.
The United States was the only country
that had helped Cuba in her time Of trouble
and he did not believe that the Washington
Government was now deceivinS the Cubans.
The work Of Intervention was long and
difacult but. in his opinion. everything
would be settled satisfactorily to the people
Of the island.
Senior Zayas gave a revolutionary tone to
his remarks by asserting that the present
Cuban leaders should initiate the martyrs
Of the past. He declared that the trick
which the Americans have been playing
upon the Cubans Is the cause OF the non
development of the island"
He predicted that the end of ell would be
dissatisfaction, adding that independence
could only be obtained by the machetes OF
liberators.
Cuba" he exclaimed. should be pre-
served for the g,ories of the Latin race"
Senior Juan Gaulberto Gomez arraigned the
advocates of annexation as traitors to the
cause of Cuba. He said he had more faith
IN independence now than he had In 1Ss..

Cuba Of independence unless by a force OF
$50, 90 men.
Speaking Of the future relations between
Cuba and the United States. he said that
this matter was only a mere detail, that all
the important principles were embodied in
the constitution. and that In spite of recent
declarations to the contrary. he believed
everything would be settled in conformity
with Cuba's demand for Independence In the
near future.
At the meeting Of the National party the
speakers were Senior Bravo. Senior Lacret
and Senor Alfredo Zayas. the last named
opposing the proposal to grant the United
