ALL AROUND CUBA 



ANTILLA 



A view of the Awards and terminals of the Cuba Companj- at Antilla. There are five of the 

 storage molasses tanks as shown each with a capacity of 500,000 gallons for shipment by water 

 to all part of the world. The coal hoist shown is for unloading coal from steamers and lifts 

 two tons with each grab and ■nill discharge 600 tons of coal daily. 



ANTILLA 



The question of electric lights and water 

 supply is again up at Antilla, and the holder 

 of the concession for an electric plant is con- 

 sidering the installation of a small plant in the 

 near future. Owing to the scarcity of water 

 at Antilla any improvement of this sort is 

 made very difficult, but it is proposed to use 

 Deisel motor engines for generating the neces- 

 sary power, and with this improvement the 

 outlook for water supply at Antilla is made 

 brighter. 



The Cuba Co. steamer, "Prince Rupert," 

 formerly running as a passenger steamer be- 

 tween Santiago and Jamaica, is at present 

 laid up at Antilla, XipeBay, for repairs. The 

 Cuba Co. have built a marine railway at this 

 point to raise the steamer and make necessary 

 repairs, when she will be placed in the coast- 

 wise service in connection with the Cuba rail- 

 road service. 



FELTON 



The Spanish-American Iron Co. have been 

 obliged to run their large plant at this place 

 on i^art time, owing to the shortage of ships 

 calling for ore. This condition of affairs is 

 unusual and embarrassing when thej' have the 

 demand for the ore and would operate the 

 mill full time if a sufficient number of ships 

 could be secured.
