POOR ROADS IN CUBA
Takes B Hours for Express Train to
 Cross the Island
By Associated Press

 Santiago. Cuba, November 19.-Rafl- road travel in Cuba is more expensive than in the United States and far less comfortable. Ordinarily it takes about 32 hours for an express train to cross the island between Havana and Santi- ago, and a 15-hour delay is not un- usual. From Havana to the naval base at Guantanamo bay, counting ordinary delays and an overnight wait at Sa1ti- ago, took three days
 Travellers from the states who want to see the island must put up with many discomforts, not the least of which is the task of trying to buy sleeping car reservations. It is alm ost impossible to buy them at tariff ;ates. Coming over from Havana on hur- ried trip the other day a correspon tent was informed by ticket seller that he would have to wait two or three days for a lower berth. There was nothing in stock, according to the agent, but he did not add the informa- ton that reservations could be obtained easily and quickly from hotel porters, usually at an advance of s5.
