From Placetas del Sur The Cuba Raih-oad

 to Casilda, on the south coast of Cuba, a dis- 

 tance of approximately sixty miles. The 

 territory traversed comprises the towns of 

 Guaracabulla, Baez, Fomento, Jiquimas, El 

 Condado, and the importat town of Trinidad 

 (population 12,000). The whole territory is 

 unsurpassed in fertilitj'' and beauty. For a 

 distance of about twelve miles the railway will 

 be located in the Canon of the Agalsama 

 River, a region of imposing abruptness and 

 picturesque scenery. 



LOCATING TERMINALS 



President Beardsley of the Florida East 

 Coast Railway, accompanied by a number 

 of other railway and steamship officials, were 

 in Havana late in November making final 

 arrangements for the inauguration of the 



ferry service between Key West and Havana , 

 to begin early in January. The United Rail- 

 ways will take care of the terminal railways 

 of the cars after they are landed from the 

 ferry. 



The Cuban Secretary of the Treasurj', Sr. 

 Leopoldo Cancio has been asked by the offi- 

 cials of the new service to study a plan by 

 which the cars to Havana shall pass the cus- 

 tom house in bond, provided that the goods 

 they contain are to be transported to other 

 ports of the island.

 these various places, for the expense of which 

 the raih'oad companies offer to be responsible.
