In 1850 the seat of Spanish official

ognition Of the city's Importance One
year later pirates under the leadership
Of the notorious Jacob Sores attacked
the town. sacked its church and the
dwellings Of the wealthy and compelled
the commander Of the fortress to sur
render. Sores soon grew tired Of the
place and withdrew. But his example
was frequently followed. and numer-
GUS attempts were made by buccaneers
to capture the city and loot it. Notable
among these efforts was that Of the En-
glish buccaneer. Sir Francis Drake,
who assaulted Havana in 1885, but was
compelled to retire. The first Scourge
Of yellow fever appeared in the ship
ping during the summer Of 1761. In
1862 Admiral PocOck, with an English
squadron. attacked Havana and forced
It to capltula:e. For two months the
city put up a brave defense. In 1868
Havana was restored to the Spanish by
the treaty Of Paris.

but even Spaniards nod doubtfully

The lottery Is the curse OF Havana.
One Of the first cries heard on the
street in the morning is the schrill voice
OF a Cuban yelling that he has lottery
tickets for sale. 1t Is often the last
sound heard at night. 1t would seem
that all Cuba must gamble to support so
formidable company Of takers.
All the stOrekeepers are courteous
and unobtrusive. A visitor experiences
great difficulty in purchasing anything
Enthusiastically Cuban in the stores.
but that Is because Cuba produces only
two things. sugar and tobacco. and
buys everything she uses-even buys
back her sugar refined.
The easiest thing to buy Is cigars. and
they cost astonishingly less than IN the
States. There Is an experience in buy
ing them, because the great cigar Fac
tories Of Havana. producing brands
that are known to smokers all over the

The Cuban house of the better class Is
of the ordinary. typical construction. 1t
is enormously heavy. built Of adobe or
i soft stone. to withstand earthquakes
and to resist heat. The rooms are enor-
nous. with ceiling from fifteen to twen-
ty or twenty-five feet high, all floors.

and the windows covered with great
iron bars.
The houses Of the lower class look no
different from without. but are awful

comparatively little tide. Is a reservoir.

an Indian laurel.
