CUBA CELEBRATES.
Independence Day Observed with Process
siOns and Mass Meetings
Tone of Some Speakers Remarks.

Havana, Feb. 25.-Independence day
was celebrated with professions, mass
meetings and general demonstrations
of rejoicings. Yesterday mornin e
there was a parade of 10000 school
children bearing Cuban flags. They
were received by prominent politi-
clans. Gen. and Mrs. Wood were show
cred with flowers by the children as
they passed. The republican party
held a meeting in the Tacon theater.
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 govern
ment was now deceiving the Cubans.
The work of intervention was long and
difficult, 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 declaring 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 all would be dissatisfaction, adding
that independence could only be at
tanned by the machetes of liberators.
"Cuba," he exclaimed, SHOULD be pre-
served for the glories of the Latin
race"

Women and Gambling.

The legislature of the state of
Wyoming has just passed a law which
makes gambling of all kinds Illegal
in the state after January, 1902 The
movement which has finally resulted
in this action originated with the
women of the state, and it is signif-
cant because it has often been charged
that woman suffrage, which has been
the rule in Wyoming for more than 80
years, has had no influence on legis-
lation and has in no way raised the
standard of political action.

Gen. Kitchener says he is organizing
a column which he will send to check
the new Boer movement in Cape Col
OIly as soon as he discovers where his
services are most needed. That is ex-
actly the trouble-to know where to
find the Beers. They do not stay long
enough at one place to allow slow
British column to strike them. Their
wonderful mobility has been their
strength from the beginning, and it
has become greater since they have
given up all permanent headquarters.
