HAVANA 



The United Railways of Havana 



in conjunction with the Cuba Railroad, maintain a service of 

 two trains daily between Havana and the growing Eastern 

 city of CAMAGUEY, and one Express Train daily between 

 Havana and SANTIAGO DE CUBA, the "Dream City of the 

 West Indies." Buffet lunch is served on these trains. 



FOUR TRAINS DAILY 



in both directions between Havana and MATANZAS, which latter city because of its pictur- 

 esque situation and the charm of its principal attractions (Yumuri's famous valley and the 

 wonderful caves of Bellamar, has long enjoyed the distinction as the great "Mecca" of the 

 tourists, and it continues to gain in popularity. EXCELLENT TRAIN SERVICE is maintained 

 to many other places of great interest to tourists, all of which are fully described in "Cuba — A 

 Winter Paradise," a profusely illustrated 80-page booklet with six complete maps and 72 views 

 illustrative of this wonderful island, sent postpaid on receipt of 3 cents in stamps.

AMERICAN COFFINS WANTED. 



Coffins and undertakers' supplies are be- 

 coming scarce in Cuba as a result of the war 

 in Europe. An inquiry was received in 

 Philadelphia lately from Cuba for a made-in- 

 America supply. 



It is pointed out, in the communication, 

 which was filed at the Foreign Trade Bureau 

 of the Commercial Museum in Philadelphia, 

 that "we formerly imported these commodi- 

 ties for the dead from the French and English 

 markets, but since the war began that source 

 of supply has been stopped." After re- 

 questing that the business correspondence re- 

 sulting from the inquiry shall be carried on in 

 the Spanish language, it reads: "Kindly give 

 us at once the names and addresses of manu- 

 facturers in your market of coffins, sarco- 

 phaguses'and all accessories for undertakers 

 including hearses."
