They have had no rain here in Havana sinc« la&t l^t fall, and out in the coan- tty since January, and the country looks like a desert. .Vs the trip is not novel to me, my observatijns are largely in coi.- trast with conditions of >ix yearn ago.aud 1 ft.uiid the peop'e here a s-erious rival of New York in dress, th'.ius;h before many of the people Wire very jKiorly clad, or with nothing on at all. The reason 1 lueuliou Now York is, hecau.sc the jiotvr- ebt ttx-d there is dressed e<iaa] to the prince, regardless of how be ^els it. But it is the tourist business that has produced the.se conditions here, and not the land, ast'uba has uot had a crop for four ye*rs, nud during the Ust two years it has been .Almost totally destroyed by cyclones. Yet it has pro»()ered through the t'>urist business, and Havana is fast becoming .Xmerioanized, and it is no trouble n'>w for one who cannot sf)eak Spanish to get along here. Living is dear and it stems str.uigo that one who comes down fr.in the north has to live here on the northern produce. But as siwm as v»u gel out into the country you are soaked uioie.
