AND.--HAvANA, December l5 lo4l.-lt has long
been matter of regret the inhabitants OF this city
that on the arrival of Aids from the United States
with letters of introduction II has never been III their
power TO recommend them suitable residence In
the country Ii has therefore been necessary for
such persons either to take up their abode in the
hotels in town where the noise and hustle of crowd
ed city, and the want of the pure atmosphere and
calm retirement OF country life, prevent their de-
irving that benefit from the change of climate which
they naturally expect they compelled to go to
places in the country where no adequate preparations
have been made for receiving them, and where the
APARTMENTS accommodations, and manner OF living,
are in no wise calculated for persons in delicate
state OF health. -,
From due consideration Of this want, and OF the
great benefit that would be derived by inyalids who
seek to regain that health in the mild and benehcen
climate of Cuba if a suitable abode should be pro-
yded for them, the subscriber, medical practitioner

tate, comprise about five hundred acres The Buena
Eperan-a is situated the south side OF the island
and is thus in a great measure, sheltered from the
chilly winds which now and then blow from the north
during the winter months. The district IN which 1t
lies has BEEN from its extreme beauty termed the
Windsor of Cuba. The house has been built with
every attention to those comforts Indispensable to
invalids and of which the buildings OF this country
are so destitute. All the have boarded floors
and glass windows. The establishment is on the
footing of that of private family OF which the guests
form part making themselves quite at home, and
