| WHERE THE HEROES OF THE MAINE LIE BURIED: A spot in the beautiful "Campo Santo," just west of Havana, that will always be held profoundly sacred in the hearts of the American people. In the center of the cross to the right is a tablet bearing the inscription, "A las victimes del Maine," being a tribute of respect from a prominent Havana club. | VIEW OF THE INTERIOR, NEAR THE MOUNTAINS: The range of mountains extending through the central portion of the Island of Cuba presents many extraordinarily beautiful views, and will afford delightful summer resorts for the inhabitants after they shall have recovered from the effects of war. Rich plantations of sugar cane nestle in the valleys, while coffee trees and other tropical products grow on the mountain sides. | SUBURBAN RAILWAY SERVICE OF HAVANA: Showing interior and occupants of first-class passenger coach. The figure in white on the left is the conductor. The second- and third-class coaches differ only in the character of the seats, those of the former being of wood, and of the latter plain benches. |

Its waters are used expressly for drinking purposes. The springs which supply the bathing pools are located close at hand. | FAMOUS MAGNESIUM CREEK, NEAR SANTA FE: The beautiful stream flows through a perfect tangle of tropical foliage. Its waters are marvelously clear and partake of the same medicinal qualities as the springs upon the bank. |
