 HER INDEPENDENCE
Business in Havana Suspended
 and Streets Are Packed
REPUBLICS FIRST YEAR
Secretary Root Sends Congratulations to President Palma, and the Cuban Official Sends Thanks to the
 United States.

Havana. May 2O-The celebration Of Cuba's independence day, the first anni- versary of the establishment of the Cuban republic, began at midnight with the lliu- imitation of the Front Point club' the sending up of rockets and the screaching of steam whistles. The weather today was ideally clear even for Cuba.
 Business was completely suspended and the streets were thronged with people.
 President Palma, accompanied by the cabinet officers and city and provincial officials, drove to the Punta, where he reviewed the members of the police and fire departments, and then, accompanied by Secretary of State Zaldo, he was driv- en up the Parade to the palace, continual ly acknowledging the salutations of the crowds which lined that thoroughfare.
 At noon the guns of cabenas fortress announced that exactly year had elapsed since the birth of the Cuban republic and immediately thereafter the rural guards and artillery paraded on the plaza in front of the palace and were reviewed by the president
 congr atulations Exchanged.
 Washington, May 20.-Secretary Root to- day sent President Palma of Cuba the following telegram of congratulation:
 Accept hearty congratulations upon the first, anniversary of the independent government of Cuba and upon the strength and wisdom with which you have con- ducted your great office. The year of successful administration and respect for law has confounded the enemies of Cuba and strengthened the courage and hope of ner friends. You have my sincere and earnest wishes for continued prosperity" Secretary Root received the following reply
 "The government and the people of the United States are entitled to the everlast- ing gratitude of the people of Cuba, who. amidst the happiness they enjoy today do not forget how much they are obliged to the American people for the share they took in helping to gain independence and freedom, and send to them through me their sincerest wishes for the uninterrupt- ed prosperity of the great republic and the personal welfare of President Roose- welt and the members of his cabinet. At the same time I send you and family the warmest testimony of my sincere friend ship.

SERVICES FOR HE DEAD

Connellsville, Pa, December 25.-Anoth- CT name has been added to the long death list resulting from the Duquense limited wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road at Dawson on Wednesday, Harry Devlin, one Of the three remaining pa tients at the Cottage State hospital died at 10 o'clock today. The total dead now numbers 65 and this probably completes the list, as the two still at the hospital are doing well and probably will recover. DeVlns home was at Lonaeoning Md.
 There was one Christmas funeral that or Edison Goldsmith. Gildsmith was d popular young man and an immense con course attended the services The bodies of the other Connellsville victims will be held until Saturday or Sunday before bur ial. In fact, this is a necessity as the undertakers are too overworked to at tempt to conduct several funerals a day
 Special services for the dead were held In all the Protestant churches of the coke regions today and after the burial of Father Fienello, which will take place tomorrow the Catholic churches will hold mass for the dead. The body of Father f1enello was conveyed to the main body oi lilt 1Hufch Of the immaculate Con ception this morning, where it will remain in state until the funeral service on Sat urday.
 The bodies of about thirty of the victims were gathered up and taken away on early trains today The remaining iden- tlfled will be shipped within the next 4 hours and the unknowns will be cared for by the borough council
 President G. Porter has called a special meeting to take measures toward the formation of a relief committee to look alter bodies unidentified of unclaimed In case no friends appear the citizens will see that the victims will not find a last rest Ing place in the potters' field. The rail- road company will contribute literally to this fund but there will be more than the money necessary
 All left to charity will be deeently in- tered and the Christian burial service Will be performed. the funerals partaking or the form of the towns tribute to the memory of those whose lives were sacri- feed in the wreck
 The official investigation into the cause Of the disaster is being prosecuted vigor- ously by the officers of the railroad com pany but 1t is doubtful whether any indi- Vidual will be blamed for the accident
 It was apparent that number of switch ties. which had fallen off a west- bound freight train and were strewn on the passenger track, caused the flying express to be derailed.

Lo. the Rich Indian.

Every member of the Osage tribe has a balance of $4644 deposited in the safest place on earth--in the vaults of Uncle Sans big bank at Washngton-drawin per cent. interest In addition to this they have each S57 acres of land, says the World Today. about one-fifth of which is in good state of cultivation and worth $10 to $30 an acre.
 Of the total remainder SS6,O00 acres arc leased for pasturage, mostly to Texas cattlemen, at an average rental that gives the land value of 8 an acre to the h. dian. But, averaging up the whole at the low valuation of sS an acre-and this does not take into consideration the oil, natural gas and coal to be found through out that region, nor the leap in values that must follow the several lines of rail- way now being constructed through the reservation-the land holdings or each Osage are easily worth $6S5u
 That is to say, a very conservative statement of the wealth of these people must place it at not less than s11, 800 for every man, woman and child of the tribe.
