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.

Havana merchants who are raising the 

 price of food because of the war in Europe 

 will be proceeded against by the government. 



There is an article in the penal code which 

 up to the present has been used by the 

 government to quash the strikes, which 

 fixes a penalty for those "who combine to 

 alter the price of commodities," which is 

 equally apphcable to merchants who combine 

 to raise prices. 



As the European war progresses it will be 

 difficult to bring merchandise from Europe, 

 but according to the figiu'es of the govern- 

 ment it will be still some time before the 

 merchants will be warranted in raising the 

 price of food especially when the substitute 

 can be purchased in the United States. 



The prices of European medicines in the 

 local drug stores have advanced 25%, and 

 that of mineral waters 50%. The price of 

 American medicines, however, remains the 

 same.
