Pack Mules with Ammunition on the Santiago Trail

The narrow trail shown in this picture leads from Baiquiri westward to Sibony, thence northward to Santiago. It will be seen it is hardly more than a woodpath. At first it was overgrown with brush and shut in close by chaparral, but the passage of thousands of soldiers has broadened it considerably. A great bunch of pack mules swings into vision. The advance scout or guide is evidently a Cuban, and he approaches rapidly followed by the train. It is a fine sight.
