This is not from Cuba. I looked in the Jones-Rodriguez Cuba revenue
catalog and no such stamp was listed. I also looked in my Forbin
Revenue Catalog of the World and it was not listed there for Spain or
Cuba. You may need to consult a catalog of telegraph stamps - there is
one, but the name escapes me.

The basic stamp here is a Derecho de Firma, a revenue probably from
Spain. The "Habilitado" overprint means it is revalued. The "Correos"
overprint would indicate revalued for postage, but the hole is a
typical Spain telegraph cancel.
