THe Cuba Railroad 



This new line completing the railroad connection between Havana and Santiago, and 

 Antilla, on the Bay of Nipe, is of standard gauge and similar in its construction and equip- 

 ment to the better class of northern lines. All of its important bridges are of steel and 

 masonry, and the line generally is rock-ballasted. The main line passes along the center 

 of the eastern and wider half of Cuba, and opens up a matchless and most picturesque 

 agricultural region, and passes through the tropical forests of mahogany, cedar, lignum 

 vitae, ebony and many other trees, hung with vines and millions of orchids. Palm trees 

 of magnificent aspect and great variety abound everywhere. Thq famed Parana and Guinea 

 grasses, covering most of the open districts and standing from six to twelve feet high and 



green the year round, together with frequent running 

 streams, make this an ideal cattle country. No food 

 has to be put up and no shelter is required. The rich 

 soils everywhere are adapted to sugar, tobacco, colton, 

 corn and an endless variety of products. The swamps 

 which occur at places along the coasts of Cuba are ab- 

 sent from the interior, which is high, dry and excep- 

 tionally healthy. The trade winds blow across Cuba 

 every day, and bring to all parts fresh sea air; the ex- 

 treme heat of northern summers is consequently un- 

 known and the humidity of other tropical countries is 

 also unknown. 



The Cuba Railroad Company's Hotel Camaguey, 

 at Camagiiey (formerly Puerto Principe) is by far the 

 most popular resort in Cuba, Spanish in style, and pro- 

 vided with bath rooms and other modern conveniences, 

 and is first-class in all respects. 



This old city has about 40,000 inhabitants, is pic- 

 turesque and is situated in a beautiful and remarkably 

 healthy district. The hotel is especially favored by 

 those wishing to spend some weeks or months in a 

 matchless sub-tropical climate.
