AND-HAyANA, December Is, lS41.-lt has long
be matter of regret to the inhabitants of this city,
that on the arrival of nyalids from the United States
with letters of introduction, it has neverbeen in their
mower to recommend them a suitable residence in
he country 1t has therefore been necessary for
such persons, either to take up their abode in the
hotels in town, where the noise and hustle oil crowd
I'd city, and the want of the pure atmosphere and
calm retirement of country life, prevent their de-
rymg that benefit from the change of climate which
they naturally expect they compelled to go 70
places in the country where 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 lnyads who
Seek to regain that health in the mild and benetcent
climate of Cuba if suitable abode should be pro-
yided for them, the subscriber, medical practitioner
long established in this city, has appropriated hls
beautiful coffee estate called the Buena Esperdn.d,
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
to the fullest extent that professional knowledge and
a long experience of the effects of tropical climates
could attain, no pains have been spared to form an
establishment, which affords to the invalid, as well as
TO the healthy yster every rational enjoyment that
can be derived from dwelling in the mlldest climate,
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation. Inc
grounds laid out in the beautiful style OF coffee es-
tate comprise about five hundred acres. The Buend
Eperan:a is situated on 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 II
lies has been, from lis extreme beauty, termed the
Wndsor'of Cuba The house has been built with
every attention to those comforts indispensable to
uyals, and of which the buildings of this country
are so destitute. All the rooms have boarded floors
and 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 are
necessary at hotels. In this establishment the Invalid
has in his power to vary his amusements by walk
ing in the shady avenues of mango and palm trees,
riding on horseback or in volante, or visiting the
neighboring estates SO thickly spread through the
populous country. A large sugar estate close al
hand affords an opportunity of'drnking the hot cane
Juice, while the surrounding woods furnish amuse-
ment to the sportsman
The subscribers numerous family resides constantly
on the premises.
The Buefa Esperan.a is situated about thirty-ive
miles southwest of Havana. The route, which
crosses a most lovely country is as follows: From
Havana to Beucal, fifteen miles on railroad; from
Bejucal to Buena Esperanza, twenty miles on car
rage road. 1t occupies about five hours. by appii-
cation the subscriber at his residence in Havana,
No. 95 O'Rey street. the party can be forwarded to
the estate without delay.
All persons applying expected if not previously
known, to bring an introduction from respect
