AND.-HAyASA, December Is, lS4l.--lt has long
been matter OF regret to the inhabitants of this city
that the arrival of invads from the United States
with letters of introduction it has never been in their
power to recommend them a suitable residence in
the country. Ii has therefore been necessary for
such persons, either to take up their abode III 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, or 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 nvalds who
seek to regain that health in the mild and benehcent
climate of Cuba, if suitable abode should be pro-
vided for them, the subscriber, medical practitioner
long established in this city, has appropriated his
beautiful coffee estate called the Buend Esperansa,
situated in the most healthy and romantic part OF the
country, as to form residence equally agreeable
and attractive In order to carry out this intention
la the fullest extent that professional knowledge and
A long experience of the effects OF tropical climates
could attain, pains have been spared to form an
establishment which affords to the invalid, well as
to the healthy vsiter, every rational enjoyment that
can be derived from dwelling in the midest climate,
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation. The
late comprise about five hundred The Buena
E,pera.a is situated the south side of the island
and is thus, in 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
myalids and of which the buildings of this country
are so destitute. All the rooms have boarded floors
aud glass windows The establishment is on the
footing of that of aprvate family, OF which the guests
form part, making themselves quite at home, and
without being confined to those regulations which
necessary at hotels In this establishment the invalid
has it in his power to vary his amusements, by walk
mg in the shady avenues of mango and palm trees,
riding horseback or IN volante, or visiting the
ncighboring estates, so thicky spread through the
popuous country. A large sugar estate close at
hand affords an opportunity of drinking the hot cane
Wice while the surrounding woods furnish amuse-
