which is not confined to the old Spanish

and windows with iron gratings is pret- 

 erable for the tropics, where spacious 

 apartments are more conducive to com- 

 fort than more elegant habitations of 

 restricted dimensions. Modern improve- 

 ments are now introduced in the way of 

 drainage, bathrooms and other con- 

 veniences. However, luxurious dwellings 

 of wealthy Cubans have always been 

 provided with baths, built after the 

 fashion of those of Roman villas or 

 Pompeian baths.

The Royal with head office at Montreal 

 Bank of and with branches in Ha- 



Caiiada in vana, Matanzas, Cardenas, 



C a)nagucy. Cienfuegos. Manzanillo, and 

 Santiago de Cuba, has had 

 a branch in Camaguey for three years. 

 In June, 1907, it moved into its new steel 

 and cement building, on Chas. A. Dana 

 Plaza, corner Cisneros Street. 



The building is two stories in height, 

 has living rooms upstairs, and contains 

 every improvement. E. del Castillo, who 

 speaks English fluently, is the manager 

 of the branch. He was optimistic as to 

 general conditions, and believed a steady 

 im')rovement had already set in. The 

 bank's business was growing and Cama- 

 guey was destined to become a most im- 

 portant city.
