The Street Cars of Havana.

The street-car lines of Havana are all
controlled by one company, known as
the Urbano Company. and the entire
length of all the systems is about
twenty-five miles. The cars of the
company are dirty and old. Each car
is drawn at snail's pace by three
mules, except on the line to Vedado,
where steam dummies are the propell-
ing power There has always been
stealing on the line by employees, and
the usual corruption attendant upon the
management of any enterprise, public
or semi-public, by Spanish interests.
The Spanish soldiers never pretended to
pay fare on any of the lines, and on
some of them it was the custom not
to charge fare for persons who rode on
the platform. The entire system was
run down, with miserable rolling-stock
and roadbed; and yet, with all these
disadvantages. and with the corruption
that found a lodging place there, it
managed to pay such dividends that the
stock is said to have been quoted at
