CAMAGUEY—PUERTO PRINCIPE. 
155 
CAl.LE REPUBLICA. 
To one of the plazas has been given the name Plaza Charles A. Dana, 
in grateful recognition of the services rendered to the cause of Cuban 
independence by the editor of the New York Sun. The central park of the 
city is the Plaza Agramonte, after the Cuban general. 
In the cemetery attached to Cristo Church are many handsome marble 
tombs, some of them elaborately adorned with engravings, statuary and 
other objects of artistic decoration. Even with respect to its dead Cama- 
gtiey is peculiar among the cities of Cuba; for, while the usual term of 
rental of graves throughout the island is from three to five years, here it is 
twenty; and many graves are owned in perpetuity, the chiseled marbles 
bearing the family names of successive generations.
