Printed on verso: "Cuba was discovered by Columbus, Oct. 28, 1492; overrun in 1511 by Diego Velasquez. Owing to the cruel treatment received in the next fifty years, the native population of over 300,000 was exterminated. Spain actively occupied Cuba 387 years. The Island is 750 miles long and 60 to 70 miles wide, containing in 1895, 1,631,619 inhabitants, mainly Spanish, African, and Mulatto. The religion is almost exclusively Roman Catholic. Poverty, illiteracy and immortality widely prevailed. The thermometer never rises as high as it does in New York and sunstrokes are unknown. From May to October the heat seldom reaches 104° F. in any path of the Island. The average temperature of hottest month, 82°; coldest month 72°. Cuba is styled the 'Pearl of the Antilles.' Havana, the capital, is renowned as a metropolis of wealth, luxury and indolent gaiety."
