THE CUBA REVIEW

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.
