Information concerning the island of Cuba was exceedingly
unsatisfactory character until the search-light of American inquiry
was thrown upon it from the beginning of the war for Cuban liberty
early in 1895. Although our next-door neighbor to the south, with a
perfect winter climate and a host of interesting and picturesque
attractions for travelers, tourists had been comparatively few,
measured by the numbers that might have been expected. All of the
reasons for this were those which naturally followed the
characteristic Spanish rule of the island. Publicity was not
welcomed, inquiry was not welcomed, travelers were not welcomed.
The cities and the accommodations they offered were in many ways
far behind those of like age and size in the other countries of the
globe. Railway construction and the making of highways had lagged
disgracefully, because the exorbitant taxes collected were looted
by the officers of the government as their own spoils. No other
country so near to the highways of ocean commerce and so accessible
from the United States was so little known.
