Standard guide to Cuba : a new and complete guide to the island of Cuba, with maps, illustrations, routes of travel, history, and an English-Spanish phrase book . ad to top of mountain $5. To San Juan battlefield andEl Caney, one person, $; $2 for hack carrying four. The characteristic which impresses one is the wealth of coloring in whichthe city is arrayed. The houses are painted in all the hues of the rain-bow and glow against the blue sky or amid the embowering palms andvines in an atmosphere of phenomenal brilliancy. Havana and Matanzasare plain, and Camagiiey is dingy compared with Santiago. A typical bitis the Plaza Crombet, the little square on San Tomas street, dedicated tothe memory of Santiago patriots who died in the struggle for freedom; onone side of the square is a house, of which the body color is ultramarineblue; on the other side is the Church, of San Francisco in old rose; inthe plaza are flowering shrubs, rose, oleander and jasmine; and againstthe background of blue or of pink, depending upon where we stand, theflowers show like a painting on porcelain. One finds such effects at everyturn. It is a veritable picture PLAZA AND CATHEDRAL. i68 THE STANDARD GUIDE.
