Truly, the entrance to the city of Havana is the most picturesque of any ever viewed by the Amer ican people, and the scene inside the harbor as you pass Morro" Castle, as presented under the brilliant electric and gas illuminations of "the city, gunboats, docks, etc., sur rounded by. natural and artificial fortifications, make it one of the most famous . and be3t harbors kaown to civilization. The city is almost entirely surrounded by a range of small mountains. The grim walls of Morro Castle and the remnants of the wrecked Maine lie out boldly to view, and were very closely inspected by the thousands of American soldiers who cannot forget the terrible disaster. The Spanish and Cuban people are interesting to rthe boys, and their chatter keep them amused for hours at the time.
