GITY'S HIGH TITLE.
Cuban Capital Given Long Name,
by Royal Decree.
Has Been Considerably Shortened to
Habana, but That Was Not It's Ap-
pellation in 16A-Plaee Had
Remarkable Growth.

The full name Of the capital of Cuba
lS San CristObal de la Habana. In 1884
D royal decree conferred upon the city
the sounding title, "Llave del NuOvO
MundO y Antemural de las Indlas Oc-
ridentales" which signifies "Key of the
New World and Bulwark of the West
indies" In emphasis, the coat of arms
Of the municipality bears a symbolic
key and representations of the for
tresses Of Morro, PuntO and Fuerza.
Habana is one of the several towns
founded by the governor, Diego We
lasquez. He placed it upon the south
coast, where the town Of Batabano
now stands. 1t was shortly removed
to Its present position and rapidly 1t
grew to be the chief center of the
Island and one Of the most important
places in the new world. La Fuerza,
the oldest fOrtiacatlOn In the city, was
erected near the close of the sixteenth
century. Shortly afterward. Philip
the Second Of Spain ordered the con-
Struction Of the Punta and Moro
forts, for the protection of the har-
Dor, and at about the same time the
official residence of the governor Of
the island was transferred from San
tiago de Cuba to Habana.
lO 1850, the population of Habana
was hardly more than three thousand,
but In the following two or three dec
ades 1t doubled, owing to large inn
migration Of Spaniards from Jamaica.
During this period, the city rose to be
the commercial center OF the Spanish
American possessions, and the princl-
pal rendezvous of the royal fleets that
carried on the trade monopoly between
Spain and America. The walls In
closing the city were commenced in
1871 and finished 80 years later.
A map Of the city at the beginning
of the nineteenth century strikingly
Illustrates its rapid growth. Then the
residences were almost all intramural,
or within he walls. Large estancias
and huertas occupied ground which is
now intersected by paved streets and
covered with substantial buildings.
The first impression made upon the
visitor is Of the massive character Of
the architecture. This characteristic
Is more pronounced than In any other
Latin-Amerlcan city. The building ma
terial generally used is conglomerate
Of marine material, which hardens on
exposure to the air. 1t is hewn into
great blocks, and so used in cOnstruc-
ton. Walls are usually covered with
stuccO or plaster, and cOlOred in a
variety of tints. Roofs are either fiat,
or built of the old Spanish tiles. The
effect, which is enhanced by the pres
ence almost everywhere OF trees and
shrubs, is pleasing in the extreme.
The most interesting portion Of
Habana is that which formerly lay
within the walls. The houses here
have for the most part been converted
into business purposes, but few per-
sons still cling to their old homes
