CEMETERY IN THE SUBURBS OF HAVANA: The graves shown in the photograph were rented for a term of years. If at the expiration of the period the lease was not renewed, the bodies were exhumed and thrown into a great open pit in a remote corner of the grounds. This practice has recently been abolished by the American authorities. Click here to enlarge (Cuba, 1898).
