The principal streets are long, wide,
well paved and lighted in the newest
part, but in the old quarter are mar
row, crooked and picturesque. Among
the numerous promenades are the ia
nous Rambla (from Arabic rami,
meaning sand) and the one around the

The cathedral is fine structure

About one-haf the distance between
| Gibraltar and Barcelona is Cartagena,
which may be regarded as the southeast
port of Spain. This city, the chief ma
val arsenal, is built at the head of a
| deep, well sheltered harbor, flanked by
steep hills and defended by fortifica-
tons at the harbor's mouth. 1t CON-
| municates with the Segura river by
the Larca canal. An island 10 the
south is strongly fortified. The city
occupies the declivity of a hill and a
small plain extending to the harbor, is
neatly built and has the regulation
walls surrounding it. The streets are
wide and there are several public
squares, in which municipal enterprise
centers, filled with objects of beauty.
The old cathedral of small pretentions
is now used simply as a church, but
there are other houses of worship, con-
vents, hospitals and the usual number
of benevolent and educational institu-
lions, for it is fact that despite the
dense ignorance of the mass Of the peo-
pie Spain has magnificent libraries and
opportunities for securing higher edu-
cation There are also dockyards, ar
senals, foundries, ropeworks, an artil-
lery park, an observatory and an inn
mense glass factory. With a capacious
water front Caragena has little COM
merce. The inhabitants are chiefly en-
ployed in lead or silver mining and
fishing ar1 exporting barilla, grain and
esparto.

strongly fortified places in Spain
The lighthouse of San Sebastian, on
the ocean side, is 127 feet tall from it's
base and can be seen 20 miles at sea.
AS signal post it will prove of advan-

the royal dockyard, lies at the foot of
the inner bay about six miles from
the city, and is defended by the cross
fire of two forts.
On the east side of the city is the
Alameda, the principal promenade. This
is where Lord Byron looked upon the
wealth and beauty of the women, the
loneliness of the senOritas, and sang
the praises of "the dark eyed girl of
CadiZ."
The city is divided into four quar-
ters, containing six great squares and
20 smaller ones and 260 streets. There
are numerous public buildings, char
liable institutions, two cathedrals, sew

theatres and bull ring, which to a
