THE CUBA REVIEW 



Antilla, Nipe Bay — View showing the custom-house wharf and the railroad station. The little 

 steamer at the pier plies between Antilla, Preston, across the bay, Saetia, Felton and Mayaria. 

 The fare to Preston and return, eight miles each way, is $1.50. To Mayari and return, $3. 



Next to the old wharf a new sugar ware- 

 house, 300 feet long and 65 feet wide, is 

 now under construction. To the north the 

 old wooden trestle, crossing the bay over 

 which the trains run and which has been in 

 use for seven years, will be filled in and a 

 solid roadbed substituted. The illustration 

 shows this work alreadj' partly accom- 

 plished. Plans are also under way for 

 dredging a channel 27 feet deep. All the 



space between the new piers and the shore 

 will be filled in, the material for that pur- 

 pose coming from a hill about 60 feet high, 

 which is now being leveled. When this 

 hill is out of the way, the company will 

 have a magnificent space, amply sufficient 

 for all yard operations. Work on all these 

 improvements is now rapidly going for- 

 ward. 



Water supply of Cienfuegos. View of the reservoir. The inlet pipes from the Hanabanilla 

 River has been laid to the tank, and the outlet pipe to the city's streets is likewise in place.
