SANTIAGO is A QUAINT CITY

Boston Herald.
The botiling up OF Cerveras feet In the
harbor OF Santiago de Cuba is not the
only claim TO distinction possessed by that
curious old city; for. as the inhabitants
never fail to remind the traveller it has
long been disputed fact whether Column
bus landed first at San Salvador or San
tlago dc Cuba. However that may be,
ST. Jago, as the Spanish call It, is far
older than any city in North America
The peculiar narrow streets and the
iacades OF the houses remind one OF some
OF the old towns In Italy, but there the
resemblance ceases, for the houses of
santiago are nearly all built around a
court, or patio. as they are In most
spanish towns. With their high barred
windows and glaring plsstered walls, on
ne outside they look more like prisons
thah Ike the American idea OF dwelling
houses. But 70 inside the patio and
everything is different There are palms
and shrubs and flowers, and In some of
the richer houses even fountains. Meals
are often served In the patio In pleasant
weather.
In Santiago, as well as in other Cuban
cites, the proprie.ors of most OF the
shops and ware houses live in the same
building In which their business Is con-
Quoted The shops open about O'Clock in
tiIe morning and remain open until about
noon, when they close up and everybody
goes to the MONDAY meal After that

o'clock In the afternoon and remain open
