Sports of all kinds dear to the heart of the cuban were indulged In, the orators sang the praises of "Cuba llbre" and were loud In their predictions of a glorious fu ture, bands played, explosives and fire crackers made a hideous din, and in other ways the celebration resembled the annua! patriotic outburst of the big republic which Is now acting as a temporary guardian of Cuba. The newly organized Junta Patrlot Ica, with a board composed of 100 members, under the presidency of the aged Marquis of Santa Lucia, played a prominent part in the patriotic exer cises.- The object of the league is to Interfere In political struggles and prevent ill feeling, revolutions and acts of violence from future govern ments, which, leading to armed pro tests, might endanger order and cause Intervention again. Marquis de Santa Luc'a was Presi dent of the so-called Cuban Republic in the bushes during Jhe war of 1868 1878. La Lucha says it Is a pity that he Is too old to become the only Presi dential candidate for all Cubans In tht forthcoming election.
