 ex nVinistro enviado de China en Cuba. El edificio es obra de arquitectos y decoradores cubanos. 



Seaside Villa in Vedado of Mr. Liao 



Ngantow, ex-Minister from China 



to Cuba. 



This seaside villa in the Vedado is unique 

 and beautiful, and Cuban architects and art- 

 ists have carried out the building and dec- 

 oration plans. It is a three-story building, 

 with a tower of turrets and slate roof of 

 variegated hue in contrast to gray stone 

 and white columns outside. 



The grounds are laid out with tropical 

 plants and flowers, and the chief attraction 

 is a Chinese boat house, surrounded by an 

 artificial lake and a rustic bridge and grotto 

 beyond, with a passage leading to the din- 

 ing room. The boat house is luxuriously 



furnished in teakwood inlaid in mother of 

 pearl, and there are handsome panels in 

 Chinese script, original compositions of Mr. 

 Liao, who is a poet. 



Mr. Liao has a charming wife who speaks. 

 English fluently, and they have nine chil- 

 dren. Their eldest son was at school in 

 the United for some time. 



The Electric Light & Traction Co. of 

 Santiago de Cuba will build a new wharf 

 in En Senada de Salinas, near the city 

 of Santiago. 



Plans are being prepared for the exten- 

 sion of the Sagua R. R. to Rancho Veloz 

 and Corralillo.
