"Distinguished Cuban patriot a Victim of Heart Disease

Ricardo de Acosta, an official of the Ward Line Steamship Company and well known in his yunger days as a Cuban patriot, died at his home, 48 West Forty-seventh Street, on Saturday of heart disease. Although he had been ill for several months, it was thought that a trip which he had taken to Europe had benefited his health to such an extent that his recovery was assured.

Mr. de Acosta, who was 70 years old, came to this country from Cuba when a young man. He had fought from an early age for the cause of freedom in his native land in many of the revolutions. He was known as one of the most ardent Cuban patriots, and finally was obliged to leave Cuba.

For many years Mr. de Acosta was a professor of Spanish in a school in Cambridge, Mass., but after the Spanish American war he returned to Cuba and engaged in the commission business.

Besides a widow he leaves seven children - two sons and five daughters."
