STEAMSHIP SERVICE BETWEEN CORUNA 

 AND HABANA. 



Consul W. Bruce Wallace, of Coruna, 

 Spain, reports that the Koninklijke Hol- 

 landsche Lloyd Steamship Co. of Amster- 

 dam, Holland, will establish service from 

 Coruna to Cuba as soon as peace is 

 signed. The steamship Frisia of this 

 line, the first foreign boat that has called 

 here since the war began, arrived at 

 Corunna on February 15 to take on pas- 

 sengers and cargo for South America. 

 The Dutch company has had the plan of 

 a Corunna-Cuba line in view for several 

 years. 



The Hamburg-American Line before 

 the war had a regular monthly service of 

 fast boats from Coi anna to Habana and 

 also a slower servicj calling at Vigo as 

 well. It is apparently the intention of the 

 Dutch company to secure traffic lost by 

 the German line.

 AND CUBA 



The Cuban consul at Santa Cruz de 

 Tenerife, Canary Islands, notified the 

 state department that the society Hijos 

 de Taya steamship company, established 

 at Barcelona, is projecting the establish- 

 ment of a line from that port to Havana, 

 stopping at Luz, Canary Islands.
