returning to Havana and the same European 

 ports. Since the beginning of the war, the ser- 

 vice has been greatly increased, there often being 

 three or four steamers of this line per month. 



The Norway-Mexican Gulf Line has a steamer 

 a month leaving Christiania about the 20th for 

 Hampton Roads, Havana, Mexican ports, Gal- 

 veston and New Orleans. 



The Holland-American Line, also has steamers 

 plying between various ports of the Netherlands 

 and Havana. 



The Hamburg-American and North German 

 Lloyd Lines played a very important part in 

 carrying both passengers and freight between 

 Cuba and various sections of the world, until the 

 European war compelled an absolute suspension 

 of all traffic under the German flag. 



In addition to the above mentioned passenger 

 lines, there are many steamship lines plying be- 

 tween Havana and various foreign ports, which 

 carry freight only. The itinerant, or so-called 

 tramp steamers, are entering and leaving the 

 harbor of Havana almost every day of the year.
