 Thomas, Porto Rico, Santo Domingo and Hayti. The 

 trip to Kingston is important, as one may return there- 

 from to the States by the Hamburg American Line, the 

 United Fruit Co. and Royal Mail steamers. The steamers

 tourist Marianao, the bathing resort of Havana's fash- 

 ionable people, is only a ten-mile ride through gardens and 

 plantations. Hoyo Colorado, another point of interest, 

 is further along on this same route. Guanabacoa, with 

 its mineral spring baths and famous shrines is just across 

 the bay from Havana. Vento, the source of Havana's 

 fine water supply, is a short distance to the south. San 

 Antonio de los Banos, with its curious disappearing river, 

 and Guanajay, in the rich tobacco lands, are to be reached 

 along this line. Still further on is the Bahia Honda, site 

 of the U. S. coaling station, where there is a large Ameri-

Guines, about forty-live miles to the southeast, and 

 Madruga nearby are picturesque towns in a cane-raising 

 section. Batabano is a thirty-six mile ride to the south. 

 It is the center of the sponge industry, and the starting- 

 point of various steamer lines, one of which goes to the 

 famous Isle of Pines. The Vuelta Abaio Steamship Co. 

 sends boats twice weekly to Coloma, Punta de Cartes, 

 Bailen, and Cortes, in fertile Pinar del Rio Province. Some 

 of Cuba's finest coast scenery is to be found along this route.
