26 THE CUBA REVIEW. THE ISLE OF PINES. The work of dredging Las Nuevas River from the sea to the proposed port of McKinley will begin very soon. In fact, the dredge which is to do the work has been purchased and is now being put into commission, and the Isle of Pines will soon have another harbor. According to estimates it will require about two months to dredge the bar and channel to a depth of nine feet, which will be deep enough to admit the en- trance of any vessel now doing a coast- wise business on the island. The Isle of Pines line of steamers with sailings on the first and fifteenth of each month, has been established from Mobile to the port of Nueva Ger- ona, in the Isle of Pines. Commencing with the first of November it is in- tended to have sailing three times a month. Nueva Gerona is becoming quite a city. The building wave has struck the town and there are now in course of construction more than a dozen build- ings and some of them very substantial stone and brick structures. The Rev. J. P. McCullough, from Cas- per, Wyo., arrived at Nueva Gerona, on the Isle of Pines, with his family, with the intention of taking up work there which up to the present time has been conducted by the Archdeacon of Havana. He will probably make his residence at Santa Fe, where, it is expected that, in the autumn, he will open an academy for the more advanced children of the island. Boarding pupils will also be re- ceived. Mr. McCullough has brought with him an automobile, so that he can easily and quickly get about to the various stations on the island, which are some distance apart. Now that at last there is a resident priest on the island, the work there will be prosecuted with great vigor.âLiving Church, Milwaukee, Wis. The people of Santa Fe are advised by the Appeal to get together and build a good hotel. No mineral waters on the island are so well and favorably known as those of Santa Fe and the town could l)c made the mecca for the tourist.
